Coed Tops Engine School Honor Roll
By Bob Woodward. c'42
The "men" of the School of Architecture and Engineering were a red-faced lot this morning after reading the list of twenty-one freshmen selected on the Dean's Honor Roll. Heading the list was Louise Polson, e'43, the first girl student to be selected on the Honor Roll, which is a recognition for the freshmen engineers who rank in the upper ten percent of the class.
The honor students are named after the first semester grades of all freshmen in the School of Engineering are computed.
Dean Crawford sends a congratulatory letter to the parents of the 21 freshmen. There are 228 students in the freshman class.

Florida Breadfruit Shown at Syracuse
From Syracuse Orange:
Half-developed fruit from the special breadfruit trees of Key West, Fla., only variety in the United States which bears fruit, are on exhibit in the botany department of the College of Forestry.
The fruit was sent north to the College of Forestry by Prof. Hiram L. Henderson, associate professor of forest utilization, while traveling in the south on sabbatical leave.
Professor Henderson, who is studying forestry operation and wood-irrigating industries, went to Key West recently during a cold wave. He found that the breadfruit trees, because of the cold, had dropped leaves and green fruit.
Gathering two specimens of the rare fruit, he sent them to Dean Samuel N. Spring of the College of Forestry. The fruit weighs about six pounds.

Early Man Lived Here--like points, have been found further eastward, and it is to this latter group that Graffham's discoveries belong. It is believed that the Folsom-like points survived in the southeastern part of the United States longer than the true Folsom.
Early Man Lived Here Students Find Artifacts In River Near Ottawa
By Helen Ruth Focht, c'40 A University student has discovered artifacts, which may prove of deep significance to archaeological investigations.
Allan Graffham, c'43, found several Folsom-like points while doing paleontological research in a river bed near Ottawa. He brought the points to Dr. Loren Eiseley, assistant professor of sociology, who is doing research work in this area. The site was carefully investigated since a discovery of this sort so far east is important. Unfortunately, no trece of the original deposit from which the artifacts had washed was found.
"This material represents a very easterly extension of Folsom material." Doctor Eiseley said.
"The presence of artifacts has significance in that it indicates that early man did dwell here."
The Folsom point, an artifact peculiar to the New World, is concentrated on the high plains area of the near and Middlewest. Its variant forms, known as Folsom-
Since the true Folsom culture has been found in association with certain fossil animals, a number of more conservative paleontologists have asserted that some Pleistocene mammals survived up to a few centuries ago. They do not accept such an old entry of man into the New World as would be indicated by the belief that these mammals had perished prior to recent times.
"While it is perfectly possible that a few remnants of Pleisocene fauna survived into early recent time. The most powerful argument against a very late survival, is that nowhere in any archaeological horizon is there any evidence of a later culture having hunted such fossil animals," Doctor Eiseley said. So Kansas man may be more ancient than before thought.
Geological Survey Gives Kansas Oil Statistics
Opportunities of the legal profession will be the subject of two speeches by F J. Moreau dean, of the School of Law. The first will be presented over KFKU, at 2:30 Friday afternoon, and the second, March 8.
Kansas produced 57,944,300 barrels of crude oil in 1939, according to the Kansas Geological Survey office at the University of Kansas. This was about 800,000 barrels less than in 1938, but the decrease is attributed to the 15-day shut-down of the oil fields last August. The production 10 years ago, for 1929, was 42,813,000 barrels.
Moreau to Discuss Law Opportunities
More oil wells were producing in Kansas this last year than ever before. Producing wells now number 22,887. There were 1,022 new oil wells and 66 new gas wells drilled during the year.
New discoveries in Kansas ranked

high. The Kansas Geological Survey has records of 33 new fields and new horizons in 17 old fields discovered in 1939. A third of the new fields are in Barton county. Rice county contains five and Russell county four. The Arbuckle lime was the producing horizon in 16, or approximately half, of the new fields. The Silica field in western Rice county continued to be the largest field, however, from the standpoint of production.

Fred Waring Requests Color
An original song modeled after the "Crimson and Blue" may be on the way from Fred Waring's tunc factory soon, Fred Elsworth, alumni secretary, announced today.
In response to student interest in Fred Waring's offer to write an Alma Mater for the University, Waring wrote asking for some local color for the song.
Waring indicated that the new official song would be an anthem and not a marching song.
Ellsworth said he had answered Waring's letter giving him all the desire information about the University.

A proposal for the solution of the present world war was presented in a lecture, "The Christian Revolution" to members and guests of the Y.M. C.A. in Fraser theater Monday afternoon by John Kevin Sayre, widely known pacifist and president of the Internation Fellowship of Reconciliation.
