Geologists Plan Kansas Field Trip
Geologists from all over Kansas and other states will meet in Dodge City Oct. 13 to get ready for a field conference planned by the Geological Survey of the University and sponsored by the Kansas Geological Society, Wichita.
The objective of the one-day geological field trip, which will begin the next day, is to examine rock exposures along a route that is being logged in Ford, Clark, Comanche, Barber, Kiowa, and possibly Meade and Gray Counties.
Stops on the trip will be at a Cretaceous rock outcrop north of Dodge City, Ford County; at big Basin St, Jacob's Well, and Clark County State Park, Clark County; at Champion Draw, Kiowa county; and at Natural Bridge, Barber county. The volcanic ash pit between Meade and Fowler in Meade county will be an optional stop.
A guide book being prepared for
the trip will contain about 15 articles on the geology and mineral resources of the area. It will also contain references to geological and historical attractions along the route and facts about counties and cities visited.
Water Pistol Trouble
MADISON, Wis. — (UPS) — A 14-year-old Madison boy's good aim with a water pistol got him into trouble. Police said the boy shot his squirt gun from the window of a bus and hit the glasses of motionist Ray Decker. Decker said the water clouded his vision and nearly caused him to hit a parked car. The boy was apprehended, lectured and released to his parents.

2 New Courses Now Offered
Two courses in the history of science have been added to the curriculum of the department of history.
They will be taught by Dr. Robert E. Schofield, new assistant professor of history. He received the doctor of philosophy degree in the history of science and learning at Harvard University last June.
The history of science is a relatively new field, said Dr. George L. Anderson, history department chairman. Only three schools, Harvard, Cornell and Wisconsin, offer graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. degree in that field.
Dr. Schofield will teach a 3-hour survey course "History of Science," designed for the general student and for science majors and students in the professional schools such as engineering and pharmacy. There is no prerequisite.
The other new course assigned to Dr. Schofield is "Science and the Industrial Revolution," for two hours credit. The prerequisite is five hours of college history or credit in Western Civilization.
Dr. Schofield received the A.B. degree from Princeton in 1944, majoring in physics and mathematics. The University of Minnesota awarded him the master of science degree in 1948. For three years he was research physicist at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory of General Electric Co., Schenectady, N.Y. At Harvard he served as teaching fellow in general education while working on his Ph. D.
During the academic year 1935-54, Dr. Schofield was a Fulbright scholar in England, working on a research problem in the history of science under the guidance of Dr. Douglas McKie, University College, London.
USIS Asks KU For Cover Painting
The United States Information Service has asked the University for a picture of an original Norman Rockwell cover painting now at KU.
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism said the USIS wants a picture of "The Facts of Life" to use in a booklet to be distributed throughout the world.
"The Facts of Life" is one of a group of Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post covers which were given to the University by Post Editor Ben Hibbs, a KU graduate. It is hanging in the card room of the Memorial Union.

YORK, Neb. —(U.P.) Mayor
Lloyd O. Livingston was in a spot
before compassionate city council-
men voted to get him out of it.
Livingston had workmen build a foundation for his house in the city, but discovered later that the contractor used a short ruler.
The completed foundation was a foot nearer the curb than the law allowed, and a special action by the council was needed to legalize it.
