Moorhead Named Kent Scholar At Columbia
Moorhead is a member of the Board of Editors of the Columbia Law Review, one of the nation's ranking legal publications. The Journal, published monthly by a student staff chosen on the basis of scholarship, contains articles by leading members of the bar as well as work by the undergraduates.
Richard Dean Moorhead, a graduate of the University of Kansas and now a third year student in the Columbia Law School, has been designated a James Kent Scholar in recognition of his having been the top-ranking member of the second year class.
Five Kent Scholarships are awarded annually as academic honors to students, in each of the three classes, who have maintained the highest scholastic averages during the previous academic year. Moorhead, who has maintained an A average since he entered the Law School, was also the ranking Kent Scholar on the basis of his first-year record.
As a first year student, Moorhead was the recipient of the Charles B. Beck prize, awarded annually to the member of the class most proficient in the course on real property. After graduation in June, the Kansas alumnus will be associated with the leading New York firm of Sullivan and Cromwell.
Another University of Kansas graduate, Irving Kuraner, is in the
Survey Publishes Study Of Oil-Producing Rocks
A bulletin for geologists and oil men throughout Kansas, "Subsurface Mississippi Rocks of Kansas" by Wallace Lee of the Kansas Geological Survey, has been published and is now available at the Survey office. $ \textcircled{*} $
The Mississipian group of rocks is an important group in oil production in Kansas.
A microscopic study of well cuttings and cores of the Mississippian rocks and an examination of the insoluble residues (residue remaining after treating cuttings with hydrochloric acid) was made by Lee. He has determined criteria for distinguishing the various units within this rock group from the study. The geographic distribution of these units also are described by Lee.
The bulletin, containing 114 pages, 8 maps, and 6 other illustrations, was prepared as a cooperative project of the State and Federal Geological Surveys with the object of acquiring and publishing information that will be of value in the further development of the oil and gas resources of Kansas.

About 30 such awards are made to each entering class. The country is divided into geographical areas, and several scholarships are given in each region to outstanding graduates of accredited institutions.

Wheeler Illustrates Secret Codes At Math Colloquim
A mathematical test for checking the secrecy of codes and ciphers was illustrated by J. J. Wheeler, associate professor of mathematics, in his talk to the mathematics colloquium yesterday afternoon.
Wheeler declared that the perfect code, one impossible for enemies to decipher, should use each cipher 34 times in the coded message.
Using the Preamble to the Constitution as an example, Wheeler illustrated the number of times each cipher appeared in this message when written in a certain code. It proved to be an imperfect code due to the variety of times the ciphers appeared.
He will give the mathematical answer to this problem when he continues his discussion at next week's colloquim.
