Geological Survey Issues Morton County Bulletin
"Geology and Ground-water resources of Morton county, Kansas," is the title of a newly published bulletin by the State Geological Survey of Kansas in cooperation with the Federal Geological Survey. The bulletin was written and prepared by Thad G. McLaughlin, a member of the geological survey staff. in the southwestern corner of Kansas and
Morton county is in the southwestern corner of Kansas and high plains section of the great plains
is a part of the southern high province. It is relatively flat and is drained by Cimarron river and its tributaries. The county has a semi-arid climate, the average annual precipitation being about 18 inches. Wheat farming is the principal occupation, but row crops are cultivated extensively in the areas of dune sand south of Cimarron river.
The depth of the ground-water table ranges from about 30 feet in the northwestern part of the county to about 225 feet in the southeastern part. The water table slopes eastward at an average rate of about 19 feet to the mile.
The ground-water reservoir is recharged by flood waters in the ephemeral streams north of Cimarron river, by direct precipitation on the areas of dune sand south of the rvier, and by precipitation in the county or on the outcrops of water-bearing beds in nearby areas.
Records of test holes, water wells, and gas wells are given in the report. The data on water wells, on chemical analyses of waters, and on water-table fluctuations are listed in the tables. The surface geology of the county, the depths to the water table, and the shape of the water table are shown on maps.
Copies of this bulletin may be obtained by calling at the survey office in Haworth hall or by writing to the Director, State Geological Survey of Kansas.

The examining board will be composed of Lieutenant Reed, Col. James M. Dusenbury, professor of military science, and Dr. R. I. Canteson, director of the University health service. The board will probably work Sunday as well as Saturday and Monday, Lieutenant Reed said today.
In commenting on the deferment plan of the program, Lieutenant Reed stated this morning that the war department fully intends to allow enlistees under this division to finish their college training.

Food and dramatically enacted charades depicting novels, operas, classics, epics, and newspaper columns highlighted the American College Quill club's picnic at the Hurley shelter yesterday afternoon. at 4:30.
The group divided into two teams. The first team presented: "The Taming of the Shrew," "The Nutracker Suite." "The Cloister and the Heath." "The Raven," "Ghosts." "Death Comes to the Archbishop," "Blood, Sweat, and Tears," and "This Above All."
The second team presented: "The Great American Tragedy," "Over the Top," "One Foot in Heaven," "Whistler's Mother," "It Can't Happen Here," "My Day," "Oil for the Lamps of China," "Grapes of Wrath," and "Out of the Night."
After dinner and charades the group gathered around the fireplace to hear ghost stories. The life story of Jesse James was told veering widely from historical accuracy. Each person added to the narration and each one was required to add one verse summing up his narration to the tune of "Frankie and Johnnie."
Professor G. N. Bebout, instructor of English, Mrs. Bebout, and Dr. E. M. Hopkins, founder of the American College Quill club, were chaperones.
MINERAL INDUSTRIES--be considered for further training. Brush says that he has received correspondence indicating accelerated flight training programs for the coming term.

SYMPOSIUM TOPIC---governing states, and not with an empire dominated by the people of the British Isles.
(Continued from page one)
Opposed to such a federation was W. W. Davis, chairman of the department of history. He is in favor of the survival of free, sovereign and independent nations, especially America. "I advocate the continuation of the American way. I am not a political missionary, and it has not been part of the American way to force their way on others." Rather, he favored a collaboration of these independent countries, under the leadership of the United States. Professor Chubb asked if adoption of such nationalistic attitudes by all the countries would not leave the way open to future wars. Davis replied that, unfortunately, he believed there would always be wars.
C. B. Realey, professor of history, was asked to present what he thought the British viewpoint would be on such a union, and also on a confederation dominated by the United States. He replied that they would look very favorably at a union, but that they would also reent an attempt of the U. S., or anyone else, to dominate. However, he pointed out, we would have to quit thinking of the British Empire as dominated by the British government. He blamed such a belief for the failure of the U. S. to go into the League of Nations. "Opponents of the League in this country played up the fact that the British got five seats in the League, while the United States got only one, claiming that we had been tricked by the British." Such was not the case, he explained. The British Empire had five seats all right, one for each of the dominions, but those dominions, even then, considered themselves free and independent nations, even though they swore allegiance to the King. Today, they feel even more independent and self-governing, he said. Therefore, union with the British Empire would really be with a group of these independent, self-
--governing states, and not with an empire dominated by the people of the British Isles.

Although he realized they had only briefly touched a very few of the current world problems, Gagliardo expressed regret that many of the students felt it necessary to leave as soon as the lecture was over, and adjourned the meeting for a few minutes to permit them to do so. He and his colleagues, he said, would be glad to remain and answer questions any of the audience had about subjects not discussed. After the meeting was resumed, the group discussed problems concerning Russia, the defeated countries, and China.
