THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1934 FINIS FOR CSEP? There are several thousand young people in the United States who for the past semester would have been idle, a burden on family or state, or who by diligent grubbing in sweat and grime might have maintained subsistence and a respectable place in the social structure, who have by the efforts of a wise government been able to put their talents to work to the advantage of both themselves and the state through the medium of the CSEP. Today, these and others who would seek the benefit another year are wondering if this is the end—wondering if the society which temporarily is denying them the right to work will continue to deny them the privileges of education. Kansas students feel a pride in the knowledge that part of the CSEP plan was conceived on this campus, they feel a pride in knowing that every effort is being made to give the project renewed life next fall, but they stand incredulous as the uncertainty of the plan in hangs in the balance and ask, "Can such a project as valuable as it is, be buried after so short a trial?" If not the CSEP, then what? UNDERWORLD MOVIES SHOULD BE CONDEMNED The objections to underwork pictures as incentives to crime are intended not for adults but for immature minds that do not grasp the fact that eventually you can't win with crime. The average movie is heavily weighted with sex and crime pictures. Yet 28,000,000 of the weekly movie audience is composed of minors. This number almost coincides with the population of the total enrollment in American schools and institutions of higher learning. It is true that the underworld picture should be given credit for the widespread comprehension of underworld enterprise. Yet sociologists till us that many young people see a crime film begin thinking of the improvements they could make to evade being caught, and then prepare to carry out the clever criminal strategies. The crime movie is to be condemned for its devastating effect upon the young minds that make heroes of slippery criminals instead of examples of failure and downfall. It is not because one denies the existence of the evils portrayed, nor because one wishes to keep youth in ignorance of these evils while the evils continue undisturbed. Children should be protected from exploitation, even if it costs the movie producers. THE STUDENT'S SACRIFICE A recent study of the thing the college student considers "conventional necessities," made by a professor of sociology in one of our leading universities, revealed the fact that the student often is willing to go hungry if he believes that he will not have sufficient money for such things as keeping Why will the student sacrifice necessity for conventionality, was one question-asked with regard to this study. The professor replied that the student wished to live up to so-called group standards; he feels that his own status in life is indicated by his outward personal appearance. This is all too true on our own University campus. Too often a student will inflict some financial hardship on himself, or more likely, on his family, so that he can belong to this or that social group and be considered a "big shot" in some social clique. This is the fault of the student group attitude rather than of the student's idea as an individual. A student whose finances are low should not try to create an erroneous opinion as to his living conditions by camouflage. He should try to make his impression by showing himself to possess character, in relation to the group he is in, and by hard work. He will usually find that he is more apt to be respected by that group if by trying to impress others in this fashion rather than trying to push himself to the face with $v$ thin outward veneer of "flash." Our Contemporaries A HAND REACHES DOWN TO THE NEEDY Syracuse Daily Orange. The administration is reaching a hand down to students in need. At cost to themselves and inconvenience they have inaugurated a course of study for deficient students. To learn how to use this opportunity, you every opportunity the only responsibility of the student is to join the group and receive his extra instruction free. The sincerity of the administration is not to be questioned nor under the present educational system is it to be other than praised. But back behind it, a different kind of university has to face and with every university must contend. Why do deficient students attend college? Is a college the place for men and women who cannot do the required work well, can not get the best of what is offered, and often are graduated, having missed the point of education? Mothering students along, taking care of their mental, social and personal lives for them must mean a survival of the unit. It is comparable to the exertions of many children to children, whom doctors are fully aware will become idiots or moronic. And if the unfit survive, leaving universities with college degrees, the value and meaning of the degree is lowered. This is exactly as the healthy and normal man's chance of attainment is lowered by the necessity of caring for the unfit survived through the excellencies of medical science. While college accepts students of inferior rank, such additional aid in study training is necessary. But we look forward to the time when a sense or segregation enters the gates of universities, where students are allowed to possess a degree and others are trained in accordance with their merits. In the study of geology, three principal branches or phrases are usually distinguishable; first, geotectonic geology, treating of the form, arrangement and internal structure of the rocks; second, dynamic geology dealing with the tueses and thursdays, chauses and third, historical geology, which aided by other branches, aims to give a chronological account of the events in the earth's history. Current Book Review HISTORICAL GEOLOGY By R. C. Moore In the main, historical geology consists in tracing in separate progress the more important branches of inquiry, and noting some of the stages which in each case have led up to the present condition of the science. The author here has presented descriptions of selected items of observation in connection with the geologic record, and then taking each in their turn he gives to them due consideration and interpretation in terms of history. The author avoids the use of maps representing the geologic past, because of the fact that they are generally of $n$ highly subjective quality and the data used in their construction is not always evident. He does utilize maps showing the relative ages of the rocks of the respective eras, however, which he accompanies with numerous graphic representations of typical geologic sections showing the OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXXI Notice dus at Chancellor's Office at 11 a.m. on regular afternoon publication day and 11:39 a.m. on Saturday for Sunday issues.

Maillard, consulting engineer of the Kansas City Power and Light company, will address the Kansas Association of Chemical Engineers with a well-chosen subject, "Applying for a Job."

TAU NU TAU: A very important meeting of Tau Nu Tau will be held Monday evening from 8 to 8:30 at the Theta Tau chapter house. Being the last meeting of the year, it is important that all members be present. Another feature of the book is the introduction of chapters that describe briefly the characters of the outerop areas of the rocks of the various eras. A geographic setting is thus provided for the succeeding detailed consideration of the systems. LLOYD CHRISTIANSON, Secretary LLOYD CHRISTIANSON, Secretary. XAVIER CLUB: The Xavier club will hold its final meeting at 7 o'clock this evening in the basement of St. John's church. All Catholic men students are advised not to miss this meeting. T.C. LAWRENCE, Secretary. The book is fittingly dedicated to the writer's "inspiring teachers of earth history at the University of Chicago," nature and thickness of rock formations. The difficulty of the subject of historical geology is due partly to its encyclopedic scope in space and time and the breadth of its contacts with other related fields. Added to this is the profusion of unfamiliar names that designate divisions of geologic time, rock formations and fossils. Professor Moore urges that the focus of attention should be placed on the nature and evidences concerning past earth history and the interpretation of these evidences, in order to make the subject interesting to students. The book treats the evolution of life on the earth in a very few chapters which deal with entire eras or suberas. This permits a more complete description of certain biologic features that are necessary to proper understanding of the life record, and the account is much less disjointed than would be the case in separate divisions by periods. The larger divisions selected lend themselves well to the delineation of the broadly significant features in the history of life. The study of this development of plants and animals in past time is quite as important a part of historical geology, it may be mentioned, as is the making of rock formations or the evolution of the continents. A chapter on the Historical Significance of Rock Characters develops the viewpoint of the earth historian, utilizing a remarkably wide range of geologic data that are brought together in a single region, the Grand Canyon district. Many previous writers have made use of this district as an interesting example, but few if any have had extensive study and actual contact with the region comparable to that of Professor Moore. This study, based on a specific area, is better than the elaboration of principles in abstract form. Special consideration has been given to the preparation of illustrations, because clear understanding of many features in geologic history requires visual aid. Photographs and drawings, properly explained, tell this story, which in some respects is more easily apprehended than the written account. The use of numerous block diagrams, depicting successive stages in the development of earth features, is noteworthy. The illustrations of various groups of fossils give a conception of the relative size of the types shown by using the same scale for all figures of the assembled group. In this way, any misconceptions in the minds of readers are easily eliminated from the readily apparent figures on the plate itself, rather than in a cumbersome legend, is an aid to the student, for an appreciable effort is required to make proper connection between index numbers or letters on a plate and the explanation in the legend. This difficulty is especially evident when many figures are assembled on a single plate. The book is not written in the customary popular form, but through its organization and presentation it is readily understandable by the ordinary reader. It has the freshness of today's newspaper without the stigma of inaccuracy which usually accompanies up-to-the-minute publications. It not only shows many worth-while innovations but it is smoothly written. The authoritative character of this publication is not only vouchsafed by the erudition and experience of the author, but by the forty-three experts who have read and criticized the manuscript during its preparation. Surely few books have had such a meticulous pre-publication scrutiny. The Introduction is well calculated to catch the interest of even the least imaginative student. Neither too little or too much attention is given to the rigin and development of the earth but these subjects are treated succinctly and with proper critical examination o n he most recent views. Chamberlin, Salisbury, Williston and Weller. The dedication is made doubly interesting by excellent pencil portraits by the author of each of these masters. In addition, the text is further enlivened by similar original sketches of such outstanding authorities as Sucess, Dana, Logan, Hall, Clarker Lyell and Hook, David. In Geology Journal, in its review of book, says, "a critic hunting for something to condemn will have to look sharp for errors in this text." Throughout the book the author has kept in mind the fact that the trust-worthiness of inferences concerning geologic history depends on completeness of evidence, thoroughness of observations and accuracy of reasoning.
