Party From K.U. Adds to Museum in Research Trip
Oligocene Formations Nea Sterling, Colo., Yielded Many Specimens to Group
The six weeks trip of the party from the palatology department of the museum was very successful, according to H. T. Martin, assistant curator of palatology, who was in charge of the party. The members of the party were Mr. Martin, Curtis Hesse, assistant, and Raymond Heidbreder. Starting from the headquarters at Sterling, Colo., they went about 55 miles northwest, then extend 75 Oligocene forest on three of them. Fifty to sixty miles of this formation was worked. They also worked the Pawnee creek beds, a formation of the late Oligocene. This country is very rough.
"We collected about 150 specimens composed of the skull, lower jaw, ears, and face of a field catalog number. Besides we collected these parted of teeth and skulls which make fine study material, we collected Martin, in speaking of collection."
Of the specimens collected from the Oligoeces about sixty were of the Oredonts, a peculiar type of animal which closely resembled the pig but, but not as closely, they had two feet different from either of these, having five toes. Some types were capable of climbing trees which were not too steep. The fact that such a great number were found in flocks on locks like sheep. From 20 to 25 different species and genus of the Oligoeces were secured. Among the most important of these are the Pochirachera, a small bird like a mouse in f
A number of specimens composed of parts of skulls and limb bones of the later horses were secured from the Pavence Creek beds. There were larger forms about the size of a donkey. One very rare and perfect skill of a small reptile or land hizard was obtained from hard rock, which had been found in it. In addition to this other parts of fizzies were secured.
One interesting feature of the trip which Mr. Martin related was that when camped in the hills various settlements in the neighborhood would be intoxicated, so he could be compulsive as to what was the nature of the party's business. They wondered why a party after fossil should have one member "toting" a .45 while exploring the hills. For several days it was hard to remember then the outfit, not government prohibition agents but in search of fossils.

For 34 years the father sought to pick up the ends without finding a single clue. He up and down, with both his father, too, met with nothing but observe possibilities that led only to new disappointments.

He toured the West on singling engagements, always on the search for the lost father, but never succeeded otherwise. The son sang in Pentheus or Twin Falls the fa-
Victor Larsoon finally settled in San Francisco, where he remained for five years, then went to New York, where he resumed his musical studies under Rositt, the famous Italian teacher of voices, and entered the employ of the A. Schrader's Sons, Inc. He became advertising manager of that firm and followed his music as a hobby, appearing in can fan albums. He had given up his father as dead, but the spark of hope that always remains, until one is certain wouldn't completely disappear.
And then last winter a Mrs. Lila Glassbarn came from the Middle West to Idaho on a visit. Mr. Larson met her and asked if she by any chance knew anyone belong to his family. Mrs. Glassbarn was a former friend of Mrs. Larson, the mother who had died when the son was three months old. Upon her return to the Middle West she located the grandparents in Newton, Kan. The grandparents named Victor Larson in connection with telephone and telegraph he found his long-lost father in Pocatello; and in time for them to eat the thirty-fifth birthday dinner together.

Found drifting almostly in the grip of ocean currents, which in one more day would have carried it out of hope of rescue, the PN-3-1 was towed to port by the United States submarine, R-4.
Several of the navy aircraft which had swept the seas for nine days had returned to their bases while exponents of the heavier-than-air craft, of which the PN-9-1 was one of the finest, pointed with pride to the maner in which it was deployed. 1. making light of the hardships which Commander Rogers and his men described, since lack of fuel forced them down 10 days ago.

Men Confident of Rescue
The men told how a bit of canvass spread out caught rain and made drinking water, thereby making life possible for them.
Food run out after four days. They had not stinted, expecting to be rescued each day. They knew their comrades would be picked up on the plane and a plane between them in the plane failed to see them, andailed away.
At another time they saw a merchant ship, but the PIN-1-W was a mere speech on the rough seas, and the steamy pass on.

When sighted and rescued by the R4, the men were near the breaking point. Litter and gauden faces told the story of suffering, a story they kept concealed. They made light of their peril.
All five men were in as good physical condition as could be expected and none will suffer serious results from their adventure.
"You can't give Commander Rogers too much credit for the way we came through," said Machinist Joel. "He didn't have a chance to steer the bus while bounding down water, but he kept our spirits up."

Things looked gloomy after showers, and after being drained by rain; but even showers were a bene-

"Each Must Share in Gifts to K.U.," Says Chancellor
University Head Welcome Students at Sixtieth Annual Opening Exercises
"Not all of us may make rich material gifts to the University but we all can contribute our best, and it is necessary that we do so in order to maintain our self respect," Chancellor E. H. Lindley told 3,000 students in his opening message at convention this morning, in referring to the gift of the university. Artists by Mrs. Nellie S. Boyan, of Kanau City, and Mrs. W. B. Thayer,

Warning was given that commercial interests should not be allowed to invade the university buildings which would not be of advantage to the University.

"The city now has a zoning law which prohibits the encroachment upon the approaches to the University campus of built-up areas interests, the character said. The character was proud of the position of the University upon Mt. Oread and the administration through an expert landscape gardener is striving to beautify the gardens more each year.
The chancellor near the end of his address stressed, as he did last year, the desire of the administration to have the students work for good grades. Chancellor Lindley defied an "A" grade as one wherein the student was taught on all aspects of the assignment and all of the lectures and added to it his own version and personality and by so doing exercising his brain to the utmost.
Importance of Grades Discussed
A "B" grade is one wherein the student gets all that is given in the assignment and the lecture but doesn't add very much of his own reasoning to it. The "C" grade, which the chancellor said was formerly the on-grade, is one wherein the student does not get quite all that is in the text or the lecture. While the other two grades are unfit for any worthwhile endeavor on the part of the student. The chancellor classified the students as those able to make the grade lower and said that a "C" grade meant as much to the "C" student as an "A" to an "A" student.
