Geological Survey Gets $500 From Marsh Fund Professor M. K. Elias, of the Kansas Geological survey, has just been notified of a grant of $500 from the Marsh Fund of the National Academy of Sciences to finance field studies in western Kansas and adjacent areas. The purpose is to collect additional fossil plant material from that area and to do research work on the specimens thus collected. Professor Elias has been working on this project for some time, and published a paper dealing with the subject last year. During his trip to Washington, D. C., earlier in the year he conferred on the matter with scientists of the National Academy and the Carnegie foundation Money Will Be Used to Study Fossil Plants in Western Kansas It is thought that a great amount of new information will be obtained as the research proceeds. 'Officers for a Day' Parade Battalions Before Prospective Honorary Colonels Professor Ehas to visit beds. Mr. Elas will leave for the area within the next few days. He will spend a few days visiting the diatomite beds of South Dakota for the first part of the week there he will proceed to the fossil bear cave where the oldest known deposits of fossil grasses have been found. He will then go to western Kansas, where most of the work will be carried on. "Allhough the open prairies un-doubtedly occurred elsewhere," Mr Elias states, "in some regions of the world during the time of the three-toed horses and the primitive camels, western Kansas and the adjacent territory is the only region where the remains of the great plains of the high plains have been collected." Professor Elias to Visit Beds Until a very few years ago comparatively little was known about fossil grasses. Only a few remains of the tall water-loving rushes be previously identified among remnants of the late Cretaceous and Tertiary times. Work so far indicates that there was unquestionably two different flora in the area est of the Rocky Mountains at the same identical time, in the High Plains region in the geological era known as the Lower Plocean. In the Middle and Upper Plocean water lakes there existed at that time a flora consisting for the most part of trees of the type of our present day willows, poplars, maples, etc. In the Different Flora Present Junior R.O.T.C. members who were "officers for a day" commanded their ranks with undeemed vigor Wednesday afternoon, while marching in a parade before Major Koenig, Camilla Luther, e3, 83; honourary colonel, and the candidates who seek to secure the honorary collenelship for next year. "I'd lay down my uniform and gun both for a Colonel like one dressed all in white," another remarked.

These discoveries closely coincide with the fossil mammals previously found there and definitely prove that this section was an area of high plains about 2 or 3 million years ago. The University is furnishing equipment and tools for the present undertaking, but all of the actual field exp. has been occurred for by the March Fund grant. Professor Elias will take the material collected on this trip to the National Museum at Washington for study, but all of it will be returned and added to the collection of the Geology Museum here. Indiana Fresh Brave Jordan's Flood to Burn Caps Bloomington, Ind., May 12—(Special) —Five hundred brilliant rhinos dashed from the University of Indiana tennis courts early last night through rain and mud to immerse themselves in Jordan river, which had been dammed up behind the power-house, and throw their green hats which they submissively had worn for eight months, on the bonfire in front of the Fieldhouse. The annual cap burning, sponsored by Skull and Crescent, honorary sophomore organization, was clinicized when Wendell Walker, Delta Upson won the wild race to the Banning arch.

Saturday and Sunday Stipends Exceeding $1200 Affected by Regents' Order Minnesota Cuts Salaries Minneapolis, May 12—(Special) A graduated salary reduction, cutting salaries of all University employees receiving over $1,200 a year from 10 to 20 percent for the fiscal year 1934-35, was adopted by the University Board of Regents, meeting in executive session yesterday. The decision was unanimous. The measure provides for a 10 per cent cut on that part of any staff salary between $1,200 and $2,400 and a 15 per cent reduction on that part of any wage between $2,400 and $3,600. Salaries which total $3,600 or more will be assessed an additional 20 per cent on the amount over $3,600. Persons receiving $1,200 or less will not be effected by the ruling. Characterized by regents as a "constructive economy move," the setting of a definite salary schedule by the board opened the way for preparation of a complete University budget by the administration. With approximately $2,400,000 appropriated to $2,800,000 due to be distributed in salaries, departmental heads will have a definite figure to work on in preparing maintenance budgets.

Dr. Knight and Ten Students Make Extended Field Trip They inspected the trip and de- shaft coal mines at Pittsburgh, and went through the washing plants there as well as the mines. Following that they used machinery to mill in the region of Carthage, Mo., and the white lead plant at Jonlm, Mo. The lead and zine mines throughout the region were visited, but those at Pitcher, Okla., were the most thoroughly inspected, as they were among the few that were in operation at the time. Other points visited included the Tripoli deposits at Seneca, Mo.; the Eagle-Pitcher smelter at Pitcher, Okla.; and the Lead smelters at Galena. GET READY for Summer We can't promise you much spring.
