Survey Gets Assistance
Kansas Geologists Get Aid From Newly Created Council
Creation of a Mineral Industry Advisory Council, to assist the Kansas Geological Survey in its program for the research into and development of the state's mineral resources, has been approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, it was announced from the office of Chancellor E. H. Lindley late yesterday.
Ten men, representative of the mineral industry and allied interests, and representative, too, of various parts of the state, have accepted appointment on the Council. A meeting to be held at the University may be expected at a fairly early date, said Dr.R.C.Moore,state geologist,and head of the Department of Geology.
"The idea of an advisory council was suggested last year at the mineral industries conference," Dr. Moore said, "and a nominating committee was selected to confer with Chancellor Lindley and the Survey.
"The Survey, frequently in the past, has sought counsel from leading men of the state in planning its program, and feels that the organization of a council of more permanent character can be of great assistance in promoting the interests of geology and of geological research in Kansas."

After five years of "plugging," working nine hours a day besides going to school, LaVerl "Chunk" Bryant, a graduate of the University, will teach at the University of Idaho on a research fellowship in the school of mines while completing research work toward a master's degree in chemical engineering.
When Bryant decided to return to school, he and his father, Ike Bryant, opened a small lunch room on Ninth street, between Vermont and Massachusetts. After LaVer's schooling was completed, the partnership was dissolved.

Kansan Distribution Boxes Are 'Swiped'
Neiswender Presents Song Program; Appears With Wilkins in Duet
Faculty Recital Monday
Charles Neiswender, b'38, baritone, will present a program of songs at 8 o'clock on Monday evening in Frank Strong hall auditorium. Mr. Neiswender played a leading role in the opera "Hansel and Gretel" which was presented during Music Week both this year and last year. He has been a member of the K.U. Men's Glee Club and of the Westminster A Cappella Choir, and was soloist in the Music Week concert presented by the K.U. Symphony Orchestra last spring.
'No-Cost, Automatic Vending Machines' Taken From Campus Habitats; Authorities Must Cope With Sinister Skill and Plotting of Campus Rogues
Joseph Wilkins, professor in the department of voice, will appear with Mr. Neiswender in a duet. Mr. Neiswender received his training from the studio of Professor Wilkins.
The 1938 edition of the Summer Session Kansan, that University of Kansas contribution to the newspaper art, has been made the victim of one of the most daring robberies ever perpetrated on the American public. Not since the halycon days of Jimmie Valentine or Arsene Lupin has anyone matched the nefarious skill and sinister plotting of the Campus rogues who, under cover of darkness late Monday night, boldly swiped two of the distribution boxes which have been automatically vending the Sum-
The program, which is open to the public without charge, is as follows:"Hear Me! Ye Winds and Waves!" "Mistress Mine," from "Jephtha"
"Why do the Nations so Furiously Rage Together?" All by Handel. "An Die Musik" and "Der Neugierige", by Schubert.
but Deinen Blauen Augen" and "Zueignung" by R. Strauss.
"Slow, Horses, Slow", "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" and "De Ol' Ark's a-moverin'", arranged by Guion.
Duet from the First Act of "Il Barbiere di Sivirlia" by Rossini. Largo al Factotum from "Il Barbiere di Sivirlia" by Rosinini.

- All poker and pinchole games *

* shall herewith be suspended until *
* the thieves have been brought *
* to justice.
Said Mr. Flint in an interview late last night, "The American people are too literal. When the Journalism department tacked the small signs reading "Take One" on the Kansan boxes over the campus, we meant a newspaper, not the distributing box.
"The next time the Journalism department entertains company, we'll think twice before we say, 'Have a chair.'"
The disappearance of the two modern, "no cost" vending boxes, which have been flawlessly distributing homeless Summer Session Kansans to University students since the beginning of the month, came as a severe shock to Professor L. N. Flint, head man in the Journalism department.

Huge Tanks Present Problem
The chemistry department purchased two 250-gallon tanks to be used for storing distilled water in the attic of the Bailey Chemical laboratories. A 500-gallon tank was desired but no door or window in the building was large enough to admit such a huge container.
Even the smaller tanks present a problem, as they are wider than the clear vertical opening from the main floor to the top floor. However, by swinging the tanks from side to side, as the railing of each stair-flight is passed, it will be possible to get them to the top. At this point a door and its casing will have to be removed in order to be able to place the tanks in their final resting places.
