Geological Survey To Complete Map
The Kansas State Geological survey has hurried the making of topographic maps of Kansas at the request of the Army corps of engineers or the bureau of reclamation.
John C. Frye, executive director of the State Geological survey, announced that reports are also being made on the ground-water sources of counties in western Kansas for the purpose of discovering the availability and quality of the state's ground-water supplies.
A great many of the topographic mappings have been done along the Kansas river valley, Mr. Frye said. This will aid the Army engineers and the bureau of reclamation to do
flood control and irrigation planning.
Mr. Frry said the maps were not a direct result of the flood in Kansas this summer, since this type of map has been made before. However, he asserted that the flood will probably result in a speeding-up of the making of topographic maps in a year or so.
The ground-water reports on counties in western Kansas are being made because the ground-water supplies in the western half of the state are the most vital things the farmers have.
The reports will enable the farmers to know where water can be found, how much is present, and what its quality is.

Professor Gets Ahead By Backing Up; Asks For Instructorship Instead
It isn't often that an assistant professor feels he can become a professor sooner by moving back to an instructor's rank.
But that's the course followed by Frank W. Bowdish, who has taught mining and metallurgical engineering at the University since 1948.
Bowdish requested the reduction in rank to instructor so he might study for the Ph.D. in chemical engineering at K.U. In the advanced
stages chemical and metallurgical engineering can be similar in content.
After getting the B.S. degree from Montana School of Mines, Bowdish earned the M.S. in metal and chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so he is not entering a new field.
Bowdish considers the Ph.D. degree a key to more rapid advancement.
