Geology Students Hear Moore Talk at Get-Together
No. 72
Receiving Set Was Included in Equipment for Trip Through Colorado Grand Canyon
Approximately fifty students and faculty members of the department of geology got together last night *Haworth hall*. The main part of the program consisted of a talk by E. H. Burch, a geologist, while traveling by boat down the Colorado Grand canyon, during the summer and early fall.
For the first time in history, the sheer, bare cliffs of the Grand Canyon, rising vertically from the water's edge, have been successfully charted and mapped. It was a trip of more than 285 miles through granite gorges over swirling, fast-flowing water times by the terrificly swift current to a height of over twenty feet, ending finally at Needles, Cal.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1923
Bed Rolis Comfortable
Although various people told them it could not be done, a radio receiving set was included in their equipment. At the end of the second days run the station would broadcast and set up their radio set, tuning in for San Francisco. "We heard of the death of President Harding 46 minutes after it was announced, which was quicker than the majority believed," said the hearth of "L," said Doctor Moore.
Doctor Moore, in speaking of the equipment provided for the trip, said that the water-proof hled rods used could be placed on rocks or exceedingly rough ground, and since they are built to assist an comfortable as a feathered bird.
Doctor Moore described Bagger Creek rapids as typical of the rapids in the Grand Canyon. "The river at this point is thrown into unobievable turmoil, and partly blocked by great granite boulders. The river remains strait through the stream of a mill race. In running such a rapid the boats are turned stern first, thus placing the boatman where he can by pulling on either oar, hit the place where he wants to enter the rapid. After he is in, the current takes him where it wills. He is in the water to engulf both boat and man, then he reappears safely through."
Further down the canyon the party found a huge cave in the limestone large enough to house the entire administration building. Here they found saws, tools, boats and other equipment. The only way possible to make the trip down the canyon in such a manner would be that time there were no signs of such equipment. The only way possible to reach the cave is by boat. Evidently some previous party had attempt to make the run down the canyon.
One Boat Turned Over
In running one rapid, the boat of Emory Kohl, head boatman, was forced to swim across a in a churning vortex more than ten minutes. Fortunately, Kohl was thrown clear of the boat, and with the assistance of one of the boats already on board he made his way safely to shore.

Exhibit of Japanese
Prints Characterizes
Two Centuries of Ar
Original Copies of Oriental Art Shown to All Universities and Colleges
"This exhibit gives the student of the University of Kansas an opportunity to study Japanese art which is as good as any found in New York," said Miss Rosenary Keuchman, professor of design, in an exhibition in room 304, West Administration.
All periods, from the middle of the seventeenth to the latter part of the nineteenth centuries, are represented. Some of the earlier examples give an idea of the characteristics of the Japanese art before the influence of Western civilization, recording to Miss Ketaham.
Each print is an original, valued at from one dollar to seventy-five dollars. They are owned by a university instructor of New York and then ten universities of the country. Most of the prints are for sale and may be purchased by interested students, but the primary object of the exhibition is the opportunity which it furnishes for businessmen who own from 8:30 to 8:40 daily.
The master having the most numerous representation is Hirosige, who is known as the last great impressionist. His "Mist of Mishima" is considered one of the best. Many portrait heads by Utamaro, the last of the great figure painters, are works of Shuncho which is shown is considered the most beautiful of figure prints.
Many things of interest to those other than art students are to be found. A representation of three gods presents the gods as deformed. A note explains that this is done because the artist did not wish to present the gods as human. Many of these gods represent wars and occupations of Japan before the opening up of that nation to the world.

One Hundred Messages Pour in From Alumni During Radio Program
Graduates in Many Places Send Telegrams to Express Approval
A cross-section of the messages received show that people in all parts of the country and in all walks of life enjoyed the program. A letter from Dr. Heineck, Director of Heights Sanitarium says, "Whenever I hear that old battle cry "Rock Chalk" I prick up my ears like a old fire horse. Austin Bailey, son of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, wired me about the program during the program. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty years make no difference in your voice, daddy." A group at Tulsa wrote after the program and explained that, "We were all so interested in the program that none should long enough to send a telegram."
"Listening to your program in the pathandle of Texas and a snow storm," wired Kit Carson from Spearman, Texas, R. C. Marcell, father of Helen Marchell, composer of "Daddy's joined the Ku Kai," who sent me the message read back. "This is the daddy that swived the last clean sheet." "We heard the Rock Chalk tonight for the first time in nine years," wired T. A. Purton from Boise, Iahoo, John L. Lovett moved from Detroit, "Sitting in my listening room smoking my pipe, Am hearing Carrie Watson, Professor Blackmar, and professor memories of the old days."
That the second K. U, Radio Night was a success from the standpoint of reaching the alumni is evidenced by the large number of telegraphs and letters that have been coming into the Alumni office. Nearby one hunched over the camera recorded during the program, according to Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary.
There was some complaint of roughness and static from stations to the southwest of Kansas City, but as a whole the messages received were more intense and clearness of the broadcasting was equal to that of last year.

Four Assemblies Give Endorsement of Tree Tradition
The K. U, Christmas Tree Tradition was given hearty endorsement by the two student governing bodies and by the two honorary senior organizations in recent meetings. They are as follows:
Says It Is A Beautiful Traditon
"Feeling that the Student Friendship Tradition is a beautiful way in which to express the real spirit of Jesus," she says, "to support it to the fullest extent."
"Because we feel that the K. U. Christmas Tree Tradition is a wonderful way in which to observe the occasion, and that the cause is worthy, we the members of Sachem, wish to give it our hearty support."
Says It Is A Beautiful Tradition
"Because it is of great benefit to less fortunate students in other countries; and because it is one of the most beautiful traditions of the most beautiful country," the executive chair of W. S. G. A., hearing chose the observance of the Christmas Friendship Tradition."
"we, the members of the Men's Student Council, wish to extend our most hearty support to the K. U. Christmas tree tradition because we feel that it is in every way desirable and worth while."
In a letter recently received from Conrad Hoffman, it is learned that Northwestern University has joined the ranks of the other institutions which have copied the Christmas tree tradition from K. U. He says that Dean R. A. Kent, former dean of education at the University, moved to the enterprise, Christmas树 will be heid next week and the entire proceeds will be given to the Student Friendship Fund.
Houses to Receive Large Candles
"There seems to be a slight misunderstanding concerning the awarding of the large Yulet candle," said Harvey, the manager of the holiday tree. "This year two large candles will be given those houses which show an average contribution of one dollar for each member, providing the total amounts to ten dollars or more. To those houses whose students average a dollar, but which does not total ten dollars, but five dollars or over, one or two of them we have made it possible for nearly every organized or unorganized house to obtain a large candle.
"I wish also to emphasize the power that one dollar possesses in Europe at the present time. Thus the European Student Relief it is possible to serve the students with one meal a day for an entire month on one dollar. For ten dollars food can be provided for one school year."
