'They Fly Through The Air...'
Neo-Geos Work From Plane
Two of the University's air minded geology professors are photographing sections of Kansas from the air. Prof. R. M. Dreyer controls the plane and Prof. H. T. U. Smith mans the cameras in this project sponsored by the State Geological Survey.
The purpose of the project is to study geologic features of Kansas and to show how certain parts of the state appear from the air, the professors said.
The department of geology has one of the most modern photo departments in the country, according to the flying professors. They also boast "the most modern equipment that can be had to make geologic and base maps."
Prof. Smith instructs in the use of aerial photographs in a department pioneering in this field. He is the author of the text "Aerial Photographs and Their Applications," used at K. U. and in other universities. Professor Smith uses three cameras in his aerial photography, two of them for black and white shots, and the third for color pictures.
Professor Dreyer is one of two pilots in the geology department. The other is Prof. L. R. Laudon, head of the department, who flew his own amphibian plane until he sold it recently.

KU Beards Make New York Mirror
The bearded University revolters against the New Look received national recognition recently when a picture of four of the bewhiskered members was printed in the Dec. 7 issue of the New York Sunday Mirror.
An I.N.S. photographer snapped the picture of William Mabry, David Butler, Joseph Francis, and Carl Steeby in Francis' room in Oread hall. They were listening to the radio broadcast of the Kansas-Oklahoma A. and M. football game.
The movement has now died out at the University. They had pledged to grow beards only until the Homecoming game.
A few of the members grew whiskers so successfully that they have decided to keep them. Mabry, with his "handiaber," and Butler, with an entirely hidden face, belong to this minority. They are just too proud of their work to destroy it.
When Nauusu Street in New York City was laid out it was designated "the street that runs by the piewoman's, leading to the city commons."
