Geology Group Plans 27th Trip To Garden Park
For the 27th year, geology students at the University will make the annual trip to Garden Park in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies where the K.U. field camp is located.
A sum of $1,200 was recently allocated to the department from the Raymond C. Moore fund for the construction of the two new dormitories, housing eight students each, at the camp, Prof. L. R. Laudon announced. Two courses, each carrying five hours credit, will be offered this summer in the five weeks period from July 3 to August 6.
The two courses are Geology 49, a new course in introductory field geology, available to any student who has successfully completed work in Geology 1 or 1E or 2E, and Geology 159, advanced field geology for any student who has had Historical Geology (21).
Camp Near Canyon City
Garden park is located just north of Canyon City and southeast of the famous Cripple Creek. Students taking these courses will have the opportunity to make trips to Helma Canyol, Red Monument park, the Royal gorge, Sheep mountain, the great sand dunes, Monarch pass and the Salida area, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs, Wind Cave, Florrisant Lake beds, Leadville, Climax and Gilman.
"Study of scientific problems in their natural environment in the field has been demonstrated to be the most successful method of learning," Professor Laudon declared.
"In view of this philosophy, the University plans to make field courses in geology available to students at all levels in the near future." he added.
"It has been definitely determined that advanced courses in the geology department are more easily understood after students have had field experience. Major students are advised to take field work as early in their course of study as is possible." Professor Laudon concluded.
Students interested in either of these courses may contact Professor Laudon as there are still a few places available at the camp.
Large Crowd Attends First Student Recital
A large crowd attended the first advanced student recital of the year last night in Fraser theater when 16 students of the School of Fine Arts presented voice, violin, and piano solos.
"Let Me Go Remembering" (Dungan) and "Let My Song Fill Your Heart" (Ernest Charles) sung by Maurine Breitenbach.
The students were from the studios of Jan Chiapusso, Joseph Wilkins, Ruth Oreut, Alice Moncrife, Waldem Geltch, Meribah Moore, Irene Peabody and Carl A. Preyer. Another student recital was given at 3:30 today with the following program:
"Prelude in G minor" (Rachmani-
nov), piano solo by Ralph Conner.
"Carnavale di nenezia" (Benedict), voice solo by Reva Brown.
"Intermezzo" (Vivaldi) and "Ariloso" (Bach), cello solo by Sidney Mavfield.

Mother Goose To Be Staged With Puppets
"Mother Goose Rides Again," a play of Mother Goose characters portrayed by puppets made by members of Miss Maud Ellsworth's class in junoir high school art methods, will be presented at 2 a.m. Tuesday, June 19, in Fraser theater. The public is invited.
The play, written by Shirley Crawford, art education major, and Polly Rankin, occupational therapy major, takes liberties with the original Mother Goose plots. In this play, Old Mother Hubbard is Jack Sprat's mother-in-law. The Old Woman who lived in a shoe works for Mrs. Sprat. Little Boy Blue falls in love with Little Miss Muffett. The modern touch is inserted with the inevitable ration books and the problems the Sprat's have in getting their "teen and fat."
The puppets were made by Mrs. Nadine Jennings, Pauline Rankin, Dovothy Carr, Jeanice Allen, Sally Davis, Louise McIntiRE, Peggy O'Brian, Pauline Schultz, Virginia Thompson, Donna Glorvick, June Erhart, Velma Stumbo, Shirley Crawford, Barbara Heinsohn, La Verna Ice, and Jeanette Perkins.
The students will manage and produce voice effects for their puppets, which are made from plastic wood and papier mache.
Plays of this sort are given every year by Miss Ellsworth's classes. Peter Pan, Heidi, Midsummer Night's Dream, and Little Abner have been presented in other years.
Weather Forecast
