Oklahoma Limestone Of Old Formation Contains Much Oil
Dr. R. C. Moore Has Received Specimens From The Cush- ing Field
ing Field
Dr. R. C. Moore, of the department of geology, has received specimens of crystalline limestone from the Cushing field in the east central portion of Oklahoma. He has identified them as a portion of the Ordovician formation which covers the surface of Oklahoma and is one of the very old geological divisions.
It is of considerable scientific interest and importance to know definitely that these old rocks contain and yield oil. It has been suggested as possible that the Eldorado and adjoining fields obtain most of their oil from these rocks, but the finding and identification of actual Ordovician fossils in the oil producing formations is a positive verification. It is a compliment to the superiority to have among its members men of expert ability. Doctor Moore is recognized as one of the foremost men in this field of science.

The oil from this formation opens up well as a large flow generally and then distends to an average of a few barrels a day pumped from each well.

Foreign Students Are Absolved From Any Burglary Connection
"Much misunderstanding prevails regarding the identity of the person who entered the Pi Beta Phi house last Wednesday evening, and some unjust suspicion has been cast upon the foreign students on our campus.
"Miss Charlotte Alken, who saw the intruder, has said I am positive it was not a foreign student and hope very much that the mistake was considered a permanent mistake and bring no suspicion upon any of them."
"These men are as full of faults as the average American, but they have come from a far land and realize that their whole future and their own country's reputation depend upon their conduct here. They are so rarely in trouble that the possibility of their being implicated in this series of depressions is very slight indeed.

“An erroneous report has been circulated to the effect that the foreign student who was arrested was found in the yard of the Pi Beta Phi house,” said Dean Dyer this morning. “As a matter of fact, he was approached as he was leaving the library after three hours work there and he had not been near the Pi Phi house at any time.”
"The history that gave life to a neighborhood, the sacrifice of its beasters, and the variety of its more "ent experiences, supplies, and play."

"State Customs and Traditions Should Be Presented in Drama By K. U. Players"-Cecile Burton
Federick H. Koch, head of the Carolina Playmakers and a prominent man in dramatic circles, has said in the November issue of The Drama in regard to the organization: "The aim of the Playmakers is to awaken the consciousness of the people to the rich and varied store of their traditions and present day life, and toward a new native drama."
The University of North Carolina has an unusual dramatic organization, the Carolina Playmakers, which our group goes to different sections of the state and presents stories of tradition and romance until in literature, together with the life of the present day.
The organization is based upon purely educational principles, from the standpoint of its members who learn the mechanics and ethics of play construction in the University course in dramatic composition.
coldfee Miss Cecile Burton, department of public speaking, in commenting on the Carolina Playmakers, said: "K. U. should be a play in class-making whose students might learn to interpret and portrait life and create folk ornaments. Such an organization could be sent out to appear in the different Kansas communities. Kannas is rich in customs and traditions which could be portrayed on the stage by such an organization."
"The idea of this movement, then, is to supply a new means of expression to the people everywhere. We may have all a part in it whether it be writing a play, acting, producing, or participating in the audience. It is a vital 'force' in the life of North Carolina today—the stirring of a new folk-consciousness toward a republic of active literature."
In concluding Mr. Koch says: "Besides producing original folk plays, the policy of the Playmakers provides for the presentation, from time to time, of plays playing various types and periods of dramatic literature. Just now a producers at Tarkir performing the work" is under The Forest Theater, a natural amphitheater adjoining the campus, is used for outdoor performances.
wright. He may find the main street of his own village as interesting as that of Copher Prairie—a town in a picturesque and significant as the immortal Sorge of 'A Christmas Carol.' In this new people's theater everyone may have a part."
The Carolina Playmakers was organized in 1918 and since that time has produced a great number and variety of plays. Among them are: "When Witches Ride," and "Dod Gast Ye Both," a backcountry, mountain comedy, "The Miser," a tragedy of a farmer's family, probably illustrates better than all alother the significance of the Carolina folk plays—that they were representations of various phases North Carolina life.
K.U. Has Imitations of Famous Diamonds Which Have Played Bloody Parts in World History
Did you know that K. U. possessed replicas of famous diamonds of the world? In her halls kept beneath lock and key are to be found the Koh-I-Neo, the Sancy, the Florentine, the Posea of Egypt, the Nasac, the wonderful blue Hope, at Star of the South, the Pillar of the Orloff, and the diamonds that figured in the rise and fall of kingdoms. Their history presents a fascinating story of romance mays, desire, and hate.

At one time it embodied the sacred idols of the powerful Hindoo belief, and was prized as one of the eyes of the God of Jehovah (at Jehul). This has been counted among the spoils of many conquests. It was at one time a position of the powerful leader Ala-el Din.
The Sancy and the Florentine diamonds were first known when they were found on the dead body of Charles the Bold, better known as the Duke of Burgundy. The first is almond-shaped. It belonged to collection of the King of Luxembourg, 1479, and was named the Barley, who agreed it to *Baron DeSaintamy*. It was napoleon owned it.

In her, it was made up of a bunch of men who were con- up of a steady workers, intent on showing the Kansas team a good fight for its money. And that is the kind of men who make a good team. For, after all, the star does not make the team, but the team the star.
In other words, Kannas did not have a squad of yearling wallow-baters, but it had a team of good fighters.
One criterion of a team's worth is its willingness to get into the fire, and in this respect they have a kick coming on the front. They were there with the wallows, every minute of the day that the varvety was battering their line, although their showing at certain times was not of the best.

This statement does not seem consistent with the showing of the varity against Valley teams but the fact remains that Kansas had a much bet-

The Hope, as its name implies, is the property of a Mr. Hope. This one is not because of its peculiar blue luster. It is said to be one of the most beautiful diamonds known. Along with the Hope, the Star of the South is to be considered. This was found in Minas Geraes by a negro. It was sold for a pittance to a Mr. Coster of Amsterdam, who cut it to its present shape. This is one of the purest diamonds known.

Historically it came from an idol in a Brabhman. It was also one of the principal jewels in the pooekochrone of Kadir Shick.

As for the men: Plumb and Mattianness up well at center position, Hajijin, Bradley and Hubbell at guard saw fit to surprise the varsity at times with heady playing. The tackles who displayed a good brand of football were Voigts, Mullens and Baas Smith.

Others of the team showed up well in serimetry throughout the season. To reiterate—Kansas did not have a brilliant frosh grid machine this season. In fact, Spring's material was probably a little below last season's in quality, only a few of the men showing any signs at all of approaching a stellar standing. But it was an aggregation of consistent, steady players, and much can be expected of it next season.
