Kansas Geologist Completes Survey of Lower Canyon
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1923
R. C. Moore Resumes Duties After Dangerous Trip Down Colorado River
Dr. k. C. Moore, Kansas state geologist and head of the department of geology of the University, who is the first geologist to complete a successful a survey of the lower Colorado River, willrence Monday, and over his classes at the University the next morning.
"The main purpose and reason of our party in making the trip down the Colorado river canyon was to gain the necessary information on sites for a tremendous dam, costing more than the Panama canal, by which the government expects to enrol 500,000 people in the river, and by which enormous water power is to be developed," said Doctor Moore this morning.
No Warning of Flood
Considers Building Dams
Hundreds of millions of dollars depend upon these dams, for the whole scheme of development for flood control in the interests of irrigation and development of power rests upon them. In the absence of an inadequate flood grates should break, the rich Imperial valley, for example, would be inundated, causing millions of dollars of loss. It is to prevent this, and to permit remarkless use of water, the government is considering the building of these gigantic dams.
This is the first time that a complete survey of the 285 miles of difficult canyon has been made. Scientifically the trip was a tremendous success, and a most valuable piece of work.
With regard to the flood, concern which much publicity was given by the press all over the country, Doctor Moore said, "We had no warning whatever, but fortunately, we were in a place where we could move up as the flood came on. Suppose we were in the dangerous down the hazardous Lava falls raids, and the supplies laboriously portaged around, when the first rise came. In order to save the boats it was necessary to take them about a quarter mile downstream to a safer place. To run the lower end of the boat was an unusual, foul experience, but the boats were safely landed."
According to Doctor Moore, the most thrilling part of the trip for him was after the party had left Diamond Creek. the river falls at a rapid after another, two of them very dangerous. Separation rapids, one of these, had sheer granite walls, making it impossible to walk around. As in all the rapids the boats were run into the raplands stern first, the boat's crew opened cockpit and one maybe onying both to maintain the balance.
Doctor Moore's Boat Capizize
a huge wave capized Doctor
Moore's boat at the head of the
ranes, and the swift, bobbing cur-
ward the right wall. Doctor Moore,
who had been lying on the front end
of the boat, was busy gettink hold
of the boat, was busy getting hold
of the boat and in trying to keep his
head sufficiently above water to en-
ergeticity. High waves
continually broke over the banks and
floating men.
The terrific current bore them down on a big rock which, if hit, would mean the destruction of the boat. Fortunately, according to Docor Moore, just then a wave swept the boat to one side of the rock.

W. S. G. A. Sets Date and Place for K. U. Follies at Meeting
Dean Agnes Husband Discusses Date Rule; Councils Decide on Variants
"The Date Rule is protective rather than prohibitory," says Miss Agnes Husband, dean of women, Tuesday night at the regular meeting of the W. S. G. A. council. "It is not a law that is just a common sense regulation."
"I am in favor of the rule as it now stands. It protects the health of the women on the Hill, and shows outsiders what K. U. stands for. 1 for K. U. and 2 for by force." Dean Humband added.
Dean H husband told how the date rule was formed when she was in school. "The date rule is not a faculty regulation as is commonly believed. It was formed and adopted by the women of the University at that time as the outgrowth of a desire for such regulations.
The date for the K. U. Follies has been set on Dec. 14 and 15. The show will be given in the high school as, decided by the W. S. G. A.

Great Aid
"Only two weeks remain for enrollment in the 'Messiah' chorus," said Dean Swarthout, "after which enrollment will be closed, and it will not be an easy matter to get in. There is still, however, a chance for many to have n a part. The enjoyment and inspiration which comes from singing such an outstanding work should not be neglected, as it can enhance education gained from it is no small consideration."

John Shea Refuses to Make Statement on Legion Charges
K. U. Superintendent of Grounds Under Fire for Alleged Draft Evasion
John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds today refused to make a statement in regard to the resolution filed by the Eli Dorsey post of the American Legion, asking the removal of Shea from his position at the University. The resolution, addressed to Governor J. M. Davis, was signed by William A. Harpitt by the Legion post at Wichita and charges that Shea wilfully evaded the provisions of the selective service act during the World war.
Governor Davis and his secretary state that they have never received the resolution, although the local post said it would be good to note that the resolution was sent by a special courier, whose name he did not wish to make public at this time. Consequently, no statement has been given from the governor on the matter.
The following is the text of the resolution as given out by the local 'region post':
WHEREAS, The Eli Ferrell Dorese Post, American Legion N. 14, in regular status, made careful investigation of independent evidence submitted, it is the unanimous opinion of this post that John M. Sheen wrote in the instructions of the selective service act.
That Elf Forcel Durant Post. No. 14, in his book, "The Work of the Reconstituted and herewith resubmitted, and upon the immediate removal of John B. Hancock," must be asserted that he be not re- appointed to any
That these resolutions and the minutes of this meeting he withheld from publication for a period of one week.
Shea has held the position of superintendent of buildings and grounds since his appointment during the Hodges administration. Shea did not wish to make any statement at this time.
According to yesterday's Associated Press dispatches, this is not the first attempt that has been made for Siena's removal, but was merely the culmination of a more complicated result of growing sentiment in the Wichita and local Legion posts.
