Geologist To Tell Of Amazon Trip
The Geology Club will take a trip "Down the Amazon" Thursday night when they hear a lecture on the Amazon Basin by Walter Youngquist, professor of geology. The lecture will be at 7:30 p.m. in 426 Lindley.
Prof. Youngguist worked for an oil company in Peru. When he learned he was coming to the University he decided to take a trip through the Amazon Basin to take pictures of one of the greatest geology spots in the world.
Taking only a few personal bellongings, he started hitch-hiking. He climbed over the Andes mountains, traveled down the Amazon River, and then hitch-hiked overland to Trinidad. From there he came to the States.
Prof. Youngquist said the trip took him 30 days. He rode on river boats and stayed in the homes of natives. The people he met on the trip asked him many questions about life in the United States, he said.
Prof. Youngquist took over 400 pictures on his trip. He will show many of these at his lecture. The public is invited.
