Four Professors On Leave Engaged In State Service
School of Business Adds New Instructors to Relieve Crowded Classes
Demands of state service have drawn heavily on faculty of the University of Kansas this year. In the School of Business, three members of the faculty are in state service, and in political service. Of the department is bereft of absences.
In the School of Business L. T. Tupy, associate professor of accounting, remains on leave another year to serve as chief of the security section in the Kansas Corporation Commission, or as "blue-sky commissioner," who has been taking by Michael J. Hennessey from the University of Chicago.
These demands on the faculty of the University have made necessary appointment of several persons on a temporary basis.
John G. Blocker, assistant manager of accounting, has been granted leave of absence for the first semester to serve as business manager of the meat-packing plants and mattress factories being operated by the Kansas Enterprises. His plan has been filled by Carl V. Nelson from the University of Minnesota.
David J. Teitelbach, associate professor of transportation, is in leave for the year as assistant director of the Kansas State Planning Broad. His classes are by Bumlman Beckwith AB, Stanford, FD,D, Southern California.
Engage Two for Large Classes

Michigan State Gridsters Will Play Kansas Nov.21
Up at Michigan State College this year, there's a pep megamonth, "Join the football team and see the country." As a matter of fact, Coach Charles W. Bachman's charges will cover more 10,000 miles this fall on road trips.
Team to Travel 14,000 Miles
Besides the game with Kansas here on November 24, the Spartans have interpersonal battles with Manhattan. In a recent game against Manhattan, the Michigan game at Ann Arbor,
Before coming here he was instructor at the University of Cincinnati, Professor Stone will reach the course this fall to discuss the law and Legislation.
Bachman will have a young team this year, which needs experience and sensing before it can downplay into an ambition, but State fans are hopeful.
The backyard will be well fertilized with veterans of last year, and the ends are well taken care of, but there are some gaping holes in the center of the line, which must be filled with green material. The Spartans open their season at home tomorrow against Grinnell college.

Phenomenal Rock Formation in Kansas Causes Much Speculation as to Origin
Recent discoveries of the Nebraska State Historical Society in unearthing a meteorite that is embedded in rock which existed between 800 and 1000 years ago, calls to attention a description of a surface phenomena in that rock. A professor on the geology department.
There are 50 members in the unusual formation called Rock City. The members are composed of sand grains cemented together by calcium carbonate, the principal compound of limestone. The shape of the members all tend to be roughly spherical, like a marble. They are called "Thinic marbles," by W. T. Bell in an article published in the American Journal of Science in 1901. Some of the marbles have diameters exceeding 12 feet and exhibit a geological structure known as "cross-bedding." This is caused by variations in the direction of movement of the marbles, which can cause or running water so that one layer of sand grains is deposited with an inclination in one direction while the next layer dips in a different direction.
It has been suggested that they were boulders carried down from the north by one of the great ice sheets that covered parts of North America in prehistoric times. The southwestern limit of the greatest of these glaciers was near Manhattan. Others have believed the hips sage rocks are fossil coral deposits, and evidence of a post existence of this animal in the rocks.
The spurial masses are known as "concretions." At one time the surface of the land was higher than it is at present and the rock occupying this area is Dakota sandstone which is the dominant bed rock in this part of Kansas.
Haskell Sees Fiftieth Year
Underground waters containing dissolved calcium carbonate circulated through this proxus rock with case, and which was subsequently denitrated in the open areas between the
Pageant, Parades and Football Game Included in Celebration

sand grains, thereby cementing then together.
installed of proceeding evening, the precipitation of this natural cement began at a number of scattered points where perhaps there was a fossil or an extra large sand grain to serve as a nucleus and then continued outward in all directions. The resulting sand silt was the formation of a number of spherical bodies of tightly cemented sand grains (concretions) scattered through the sandstone mass. Had the cementation continued long enough the spheres would have grown together and the entire rock would have become a massive mass that could take place on erosion wind, rain wash, and running water began to lower the surface.
The concretions which resisted the erosive activity were uncovered and left lying on top of the present surface, so that they are rounded by uncemented sand and those that have been completely freed may be observed in the area of the Dakota.
Dedication Recalls Drive For Building of Stadium
Students, Faculty, Alumni Aided in Campaign for Funds
This survey by Prof. Landes was made three years ago.
The long years of agitation, table pounding, speech making and appeals for money that finally resulted in the completion of Memorial Stadium, are called to mind by the plans for the renovation of the stadium. Section by section the stadium has grown. It was not planned and built as one unified project. The center stands were erected first, followed a few years later by additions at the south end of each stand, and finally the horsehoe stands. The team then processed the clamour for funds to make possible completion of that part of the project was kept up in student and alumni meetings, in the student publications and in letters sent out to friends of the University and sports figures wherever they could be found.
In 1923 teams were organized to campaign for pledges of donations to the Stadium-Union fund. The goal was a million dollars, and papers carried day-by-day reports of the progress toward that goal. Prizes were awarded for each milestone turned in the largest number of pledges and the largest amounts of money.
The stadium, which cost $40,400, is not yet paid for. Some $122,500 still remains to be contributed by students and other interested persons. But the grandeur of the great memorial and its incorporation is part of the University is complete.
In 1922 Stadium-Union fund workers, headed by Prof. W. J. Baumpartner, headed the university's cities over the state to inaugurate drives for pledges in those cities. Chamley Linden made trips to speak at alumni golf alumni served in the same work.

ELEVEN LETTERMEN RETURN TO BOLSTER TRACK SQUAM
Couch H. W. Harris and yesterday that out of 21 lettermen last year, 11 men would be back to bolster up this year's track team. Of the 62 points made in the Conference last year, 40% were made by the 10 men who graduated.
With only 27.2% points made by this year's 11 lettermen, it can be seen that the less experienced men are left. Coach Hargiss needs plenty of good, fresh material this year to offset this lack of experience.

According to Lieutenant Edward H. Coe of Kansas, one of the most interesting and difficult pieces of work accomplished by the engineers was the building of a pontoon bridge across the Snooky Hill river. The bridge was 284 feet long and was built while the river was flowing. The pontoons were aided by the use of outboard motors, a new item in experimental equipment.
A practical demonstration of demolition was given when a large re-enforced concrete building was destroyed by the use of explosives. Another new piece of equipment, the high speed drill, was used in this demonstration.
Schweeler to Address P.T.A

One Thousand New Students Attend Induction Service
Chancellor Lindley Leads Traditional Ceremony Held in Stadium Last Night
Approximately 1,000 new students assembled in the bowl of the University stadium last night to pledge their fidelity to the principles for which it stands.
The new students repeated after Chancellor E. H. Lindley the modified Aberneth oath of good citizenship, and he gave great responsibility this oath requires.
Then, led by K men and members of the Ku Ku's, the students formed a column and marched from the hearth to the Memorial stadium, where they took seats before the University altar in the end.anchord Lindley found the meaning of the hearth fire the torch and administered the cath.
The group assembled around the University hearth on the site of Old Denham Hall, where a fire lighted by the Torch chapter of Mortar Board, honorary senior women's society, blared. Here F. E. Hale led the history, briefly explained the ceremony.
Torch Borne to Field
Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice president of the faculties, then read the scripture on which is based the University seal, in which Moses is depicted kneeling before God. Hannah Oliver, A.B. 74, and professor esculenta of Latin, explained the sesuita
In response to a bugle call, Theo Graves, captain of the University's two-timetrack team, started a tour of the campus with a torch lighted at the heart on Old North College Hill, passing only at the Rock Chalk Cairn to the right. He then flamed it up. He then bore the flaming symbol down the long slope of Mt. Orcad to the stadium where it was delivered to Fred Ellsworth, representing the Alumi, and waspass along the line of class representatives until it reached Drew McMallinshaw, Jr., representative of the Alumni class, who lighted the alar fire.
All Classes Represented

UNIVERSITY'S HISTORIC EMBLEM
University's Historic Emblem Is Explained to Freshmen
"I will see this great sight, why the brush is not burned," Miss Hannah Oliver quoted from the Bible, in her interpretation of the University's seal, presented at the Induction ceremony last night. She continued with an explanation of all enthilsms embodied in the book, giving the historic importance of each.
The design of the seal was chosen by the first chancellor of the University, the Rev. R. W. Oliver, and was adored by the Board of Regents at a meeting held Dec. 6, 1866—the opening year of the University.
The significance given to the design on the seal by Chancellor Oliver and the first regents when they adopted it for the University was essentially this:
for the University was estuary misuse.
"The flame of fire out of the midst of the bush" symbolizes the light of knowledge and truth, for the attainment of this mission of the University exists. This light is never to be extinguished; its source is unfalling, and divine. The kneeling figure shows the University as a spirit that bethesda the scholar as he draws near to learn the sacred things of the University in which he lives.
Miss Oliver continued her address to the students.
