A BUILDING WOULD HELP Geology Department Needs Room
By MARYNELL DYATT
This is the last of a series of news stories presenting the advantages which the proposed new Mineral Industries building would bring to the campus and the state.
More room! More room! More room! This has been the cry of all the departments housed in old Haworth hall, and the department of geology is no different than the others.
The department of geology at present has quarters in both Haworth and the scooped out subbasement of Hoch auditorium. Unless one has gone through Haworth hall, he has no idea of how much equipment can be jammed into one building.
Offices of geology staff members are seated, and research quarters few staff members and students are few and inadequate.
The library of the geology department is housed in Haworth. While it is an exceptional library for a department its presence in a nonfireproof building represents a serious hazard.
The proposed Mineral Industries building would be as advantageous to the geology department as to the many other departments mentioned in previous news stories.
It would mean adequate laboratories for undergraduate and graduate instruction.
It would mean research laboratories for graduate students and faculty. These are not possible in the present quarters.
The building would provide offices in a single building for members of the staff, work rooms for graduate students, and one or more seminar rooms for student-faculty group meetings.
Safe and adequate library quarters have been provided for in the plans of the proposed building.
The function of the geology department is two-fold. It gives students, concentrating in other fields, a general and cultural knowledge of geology, it prepares men to work in the mineral industries.
Although the present geology quarters are not comfortable, they are adequate to fulfill the first purpose. However, the quarters are entirely inadequate to fulfill the second purpose.
Graduates of the geology department occupy prominent positions in U.S. mineral industries and many are found in foreign countries.
In addition, the geology department attracts graduate students from various parts of this country. There are at present 22 graduate students taking advanced work in various phases of geology.
Members of the geology staff are men of national and international reputation. Their research contributions to science have been responsible for election of every member
of the staff to various national professional societies and offices in these organizations.
The physical plight of the geologists again stresses the need of the new Mineral Industry building,both for the University for the instruction of students and for the state or the development of the mineral industries of Kansas.
Two Grads Named AIMME Directors
Two alumni of the University, Dr. G.E. Abernathy, Pittsburg, and F.J. Cuddeback, Picher, Okla., have been elected directors of the tri-state section of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers for 1941.
Doctor Abernathy received his bachelor's degree in 1914 from the Missouri School of Mines at Rolla, and a degree of mining engineering from the same school in 1920. He received his master's degree from the University in 1925 and his doctor's degree in 1936. He was appointed to the staff of the Kansas Geological Survey in 1937, making Pittsburg his headquarters.
Cuddeback, who is mine superintendent for the Eagle-Picher Mining and Smelting company, Picher, was graduated from the School of Engineering in 1926.
Of 34 In Hospital, 23 Are Flu Cases
Thirty-four students were in Watkins Memorial hospital last night, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, announced today. Influenza cases totaled 23.
Doctor Canuteson said that Caulbert Livingston, a freshman in the School of Fine Arts, who has lobar pneumonia, is doing "very well."
John Buescher, varsity basketball player, who had a carbuncle on a knee, was dismissed from the hospital yesterday.
Ashton pointed out to his audience that there are two characteristic ways of looking at democracy. The first is from a political standpoint, and the second is from the individual relationship of the man to democracy.
"Literature and the Traditions of Democracy" was the subject of a talk which John W. Ashton, head of the University department of English gave before the Lawrence junior high school-P.T.A. last night.
Ashton Speaks To P.T.A. Group
Denver Legions Whip Union Wire
John Milton and Walt Whitman, Ashton emphasized, show to the greatest degree the contrast between democratic and totalitarian ideologies in their stress of individual rights.
Denver, Jan. 21—(UP)—The Kansas City, Mo., Union Wires independent basketball team, unable for the second time last night to check the fire power of the Denver Legions, moves to Pueblo, Colo., tonight for the third and final crack at the 1939 National A.A.U. champions.
Last Saturday it was Haskell (Pete) Leuty, reserve center, who led Denver to a 47-36 victory over Kansas City at Rocky Ford, Colo. Last night, Leuty didn't come through, but the Legions' all-America forward and center, Tee Connelly and Bob Greunig did, and Denver marked up another victory, 40-29.
Greunig scored nine points in the first half and four in the second, and Connelley counted all of his 13 tallies in the second period. These 26 points were enough to nip any rally Kansas City made, as 2,000 spectators watched a "march o' dimes" paralysis benefit game in the city auditorium.
Charles W. Rogers, '36, has completed his flying course at Pensacola and is remaining at the base as an instructor.
JAYHAWKERS FORGE
(continued from page one)
tom Jayhawker plunked in 13 points
in the first half and added 10 in
the final period.
In an able supporting cast as usual was Bobby Allen, senior quarterback, who chipped in 11 counters in addition to a fine rebounding and passing game. Gangling T. P. Hunter, who started his first game of the year, turned in a splendid job of feeding and added a pair of timely goals.
Big Tom Guy and Danny Howe, were standouts for the losers. Both played brutal rebound games off the backboards and accounted for 20 points between them.
Wildcats Hang Close
The keyed-up Wildcats tailed the Kansans closely for the first 25 minutes of the contest, even gaining short-lived leads on two occasions, but faded before the cool Kansans in the second half except for a late spurt in the final minutes.
The Allemen made good 13 of 14 free throw attempts in front of a partisan crowd which refused to be silenced everytime a Jayhawker stepped to the charity line.
Kansas grabbed immediate domination of the contest in the first seven minutes as Allen, Engleman, John Kline, and Marvin Solleberger, manufactured 10 points.
After eight minutes the Cats got going. Jack Horacek, State's eagle-eyed forward whom Allen held to four buckets for the evening, poked in two from the corner, and after Allen had made good two more charity flips, Howe and Guy added a pair of goals to pull the home-lings within one point.
Aggies Finally Go
Engleman hit a short left handed push, then Holstrom countered with a short righthander to give the Ags their first lead of the evening.
But Bobby came right back with a high archer from midcourt, Engleman dropped in two more from far out, then added a lefthander from the corner to give the Red and Blue a 23-12 lead at halftime. Furious Second Half Start
countered when fouled by Sollenberger.
Allen made good another gratis effort which Guy immediately offset with a pivot two-pointer as the Aggie crowd showed for blood.
Engleman opened the second half by converting a foul shot, but Guy
Allen made good another gratis effort which Guy immediately off-set with a pivot two-pointer as the Aggie crowd shouted for blood.
Engleman silenced the roar with his first goal of the final period, and Vance Hall contributed a free throw for a two-point Jayhawker lead with only four minutes gone.
Kline Fouls Out
Wildcat supporters took heart a moment later when Kline committed his fourth foul with 15 minutes remaining. Chris Langvardt converted the mistake into two free throws to tie the score.
But this signaled the last serious State threat. Hunter popped in a short two-hander, Hall added another charity, and Engleman fired in five quick points to give the invaders their most comfortable lead of the evening with nine minutes remaining.
A fighting Horacek, his chin bleeding from a gash suffered from a plunge into the bleacher seats under the Purple basket, tried to rekindle the Wildcat spark with a righthander from the corner, but baskets by Beaumont and Howe were offset by two more from Engleman and Hunter.
Ags Fight to Last
Lagvardt gave the Wildcats one last fleeting hope with a short two-
hander and a setup and Howe collected a tip-in to make the count 44-39, but Allen caged two late free throws to ice the contest, before Howe's long side shot ended the scoring ahead of the gun.
AS WE SEE IT—
to the Hollywood Stars, Pacific Coast league club . . . Kappleman spent the last two years with Salina's Millers of the Western Association and last year, considered one of the better catchers of the circuit, was sold to the Stars toward the end of the season. . . "Kap" was a star backstop on K.U. nines of five years back. . . He has already begun to unlimber his throwing arm in light afternoon workouts in Robinson gym.
UNRATED IN pre-season intramural basketball predictions, a dark-horse PI K. A. club is currently reeking havoc among the ranks of Division 1 clubs. , Led by Jack Engle and Bill Atwell, who is sporting a 7.5 average, the Pikas have lost only one of their six pre-semester contests; that to the defending champion Phi Gam's by a 37-25 count.
Maybe the "Profs" Will DIG IT?
