GEOLOGY MAJORS PLAN
SUMMER FIELD TRIP
Sixteen Will Leave June 19 For Survey Work in Colorado
CAMP NEAR ROYAL GORGE
Each Man Will Study and Map Area Twenty Miles Square
Plans for a geologic field trip into Colorado this summer, are nearing completion, according to Dr. W. H. Schoewe, who will be in charge. This trip which will last from June 19 to July 22 and will be the first big tripl ever given by the department of geology at the University of Kansas. Most other large institutions as Yale, Harvard, and the Universities of Chicago, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Missouri give similar trips each year. Three K. U. men went to the Black Hills last year with
The party from here this year will be limited to sixteen major students in the geology department. They will all be K. U. men, although other institutions have applied. Fiften men have already made definite plans to go. Usually that many men do not go from one school. All most every field of study given to them are composed of two or three students from that institution while all the rest are from other schools.
These sixteen men will report for work at a camp a few miles north of Canyon City on June 19. At their camp site there in the Royal Gorge country they will do some detailed mapping of an area about four weeks. From there they will go to the Pikes Peak region visiting Pikes Peak, the Garden of the Gods and Maniton for three or four days. In the Golden Region, twelve miles west of Denver, they will work in museums and detailed work for a week.
Additional side-trips will be taken to the oil fields in the vicinities of Pueblo and Canon City. The gold and silver mines at Cripple Creek, Georgetown and Idaho Springs as well as the coal mines will be visited. The kind of work will be for students plan to be both of a team and detailed nature. An area from twenty to twenty-five square miles will be selected and studied, described, and mapped in detail by each member of the party. In addition a large region surrounding the detailed area will be studied in a general way. Methods employed by the United States Geological Survey will be used. Each student at the completion of the work will be required to write a geology report to those parties by the U. S. Department of the Interior. Five hours of University credit will be given for the report.
A similar trip was planned in 1917 by Dr. W. P. Haynes, then a member of the faculty in the geology department, but because of the nature of his work, Expenses for each student on this trip will amount to about $125.
Geologic formations which these men will have the privilege of studying vary from the oldest to the most recent in geologic variation in kind, structure and age.
Merchant Prince Says Flapper is "Pleasing"
San Francisco, April 24—The American "fapper" has been subjected to the scrutiny of the British merchant prince and applauded in bustle.
First the "flapper" is found to be standardized.
Second, her clothing was given a money value of $11.
Gordon Selfridge, of London, former partner of the late Marshfield Band and one of England's leading merchant ships, attended a touring the United States.
"The most interesting thing I have seen in the United States is the standardized "flapper." Selfridge commented.
There are flocks of the *them* in New York, San Francisco and Chicago. All of them wear the same thing, from hats to shoes.
"Their clothing? Well, I haven't observed it in a closely as in New York, but the New York happier" $11 would be about $18 and $11 would be a fair price.
Selfridge explained he would not for a minute criticize American women.
"On the contrary," he said, "I think they are particularly pleasing."
"There are flappers in London, of course," he added, "but the London flappers are not standardized."
With Live Armadillos, Snakes Chuckwallas and Gila Monsters. Dyche is Becoming a Real Zoo
A veritable zo0 is accumulating in the basement of Dyche museum. A rattlesnake and a water moccasin, later relabeled to the lower basement, a Gila monster received this morning; five chamaedore, diplodonts, dispute first place in the interest of the many visitors who come to view them.
William University, of Salem,
Oregon, has decided that in the future
yell leaders shall first try out a
body for training. The body will
be taken from the student body.
The Gila monster, pronounced "hee-al" and not a monaster at all, as it measures only fifteen inches in length is the most dangerous now on display. It is poisonous to a degree and has the same effects in its bite as that of a poisonous snake. The animal was found in the order of Indian headwork in a cream, yellow and black. It has the usual long, four feet, and fat head characteristic of the lizard family, but is a small specimen, C. D. Bunker curator said. It came to the museum from Arizona, and was sent by Victor
Mrs. Grace Wiley, a former research student in the department of entomology, sent the three armadillos from Rock Island, Texas. They are of medium size, and, according to
one student who viewed them, look much like "an old women with her head tied in a rug." The long narrow ears, pointed upright, and the triangular face, manage to convey the impression. The armadillo ranges in length from the size of a rat to a yard in length. It has a long tail and flexible scaly arm that permits it easy movement. It curls up in a sound ball when attacked and presents a solid front to its enemy. The armadillos are harmless and feed on surrion, insects and vegetables.
The chuckwallows, also sent by Householder, are flat, withered, and frog-like in appearance. They are sluggish and once permitted a stunt to drag them about by their tails. They did not resent the indignity, but, had they been in their manners, they would have been said. The curator sprinkles then with water and this is the only water that is taken into their systems. They live southern climate, they would do no like to drink or bathe, he said. Although it has no regular hours, the "zoo" is open to visitors.

The Daily Kansan ranks as one of the foremost college publications in America.
Although the Daily Kansan is a University institution yet it is financially self-supporting and derives the bulk of revenue from advertising.
And the Daily Kansan is an excellent advertising medium because of the large number of readers per copy and its small waste circulation.
News for the Kansan is written and edited by journalism students who do not get a single hour credit for their really excellent work.
A comparison of the Daily Kansan with other college publications will show you the merits of the Kansan.
