Studies fossils
Geology prof earns dolll
Raymond C. Moore, emeritus Summerfield professor of geology, went behind the Iron Curtain this fall to study fossils and came home with a doll.
The small, cherub-faced doll was a gift of the scientists Moore worked with in the Soviet Union. It was an award for being "a human being."
The scientists, all women, and Moore are the only people in the world known to be studdying erinoid fragments. The Russian women knew of Moore's reputation as a foremost authority on paleontology and they expected an austere scientist.
Instead, they found a person, who was interested in their work.
and eager to learn from them.
GIFT FROM RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS
"I had corresponded with them in the past," he said, "and had found some errors in their work. I think this might have influenced their opinion of me."
Raymond C. Moore, emeritus Summerfield professor of Geology, views a doll given him by a group of Russian women scientists for being a "human being."
Crinoid fragments are important, according to Moore, because their variety and distribution afford better chances of synchronizing age and strata of marine fossil life.
LAWRENCE
Because they are fragmented they are hard to gather.
Moore worked in Leningrad and Moscow. He then went to Warsaw, Poland, for a few days and then to Germany.
"If we can use there fragments as we use the whole fossil specimens," Moore continued, "this could be a significant step in the methods of paleontology."
"When I got on the plane at Leningrad," he said, "I had the doll crooked under my arm. I think they all enjoyed that."
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts it will be partly cloudy tonight and Thursday with little change in temperature. The low tonight will be in the lower 30s. Rain probability is 10 per cent Thursday.

As Gulliver discovered, falling asleep at the wrong time can be downright embarrassing, even for a Big Man on Campus. Ah, well, it can happen to the best of us. Your eyelids droop. Your attention wanders. You're drowsy all over. Quick! Take a couple of NoDoz. NoDoz really works to help you stay alert. Keep some handy, in your pocket, your medicine chest, the glove compartment of your car. NoDoz. It's non habit-forming. Take NoDoz. Show 'em they can't keep a good man down.
THE ONE TO TAKE WHEN YOU HAVE TO STAY ALERT.
