K.U. COLLECTION BEST
Dr. Haworth Claims University Has Greatest Collection of Pennsylvania Rocks
The Department of Geology is generally conceived to now have the best collection of Pennsylvania rock fossils, and Dr. Raymond Erasmus Haworth. The School of Mining and Geology and especially Dr. Raymond C. Moore was highly honored by a Texas Oil Company when a significant addition to the Museum was secured.
The Pennsylvania rock was so named when it was first studied in Pennsylvania fields. Nine-tenthalf of the oil in the Mid-continental field is found in this rock. One-half of the oil of the United States is found in this field which embraces Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
According to Dr. Moore we now have a greater collection of the Texas Pennsylvania rock fossils than the University of Texas, or any other museum in the world, as well as the greatest general collection. The Geologists of the Texas Oil Company who made this collection were not able to properly classify it. They chose Dr. Moore rather than a man from their own company. We found one of each specimen which he classified. The new collection is now in the front hall of the Geology building waiting to be unpacked.
The Museum at the Geology Building has invertebrate fossils only. These are studied more by the students and are not of as great general interest as the vertebrate fossils which are all in Dyche Museum. According to Do. Haworth the entire Museum of invertebrate fossils and other geological specimens ranks among the best in the United States.
The Fraternity House Mothers Club will meet Monday, January 12, at 2:30 o'clock at 1439 Tennessee.
Henrietta McKaughan A. B. '17 Gives Magazine Class Pointers for "Landing" Stories
ASPIRANTS GET ADVICE
"Write what interests you, in an interesting way and send it to magazines who use similar material if you want as few rejections as possible," was the advice Miss Henketta McKauigan, a senior editor of the class this morning. "It is usually adviable to send out inquiries to various magazines while writing the article giving the nature of the article, the probable length and the way it is to be handled. Most editors write in a single paragraph or not they can use such material."
Miss McKaughan emphasized accuracy in writing. Even though it be a very minor detail, the writer should be perfectly sure that everything she writes is accurate to the writers, she pointed out, have all the big details planned and then go to hat section of the United States where the plot is to be laid and study conditions in order to get local color. "Magazine material is everywhere if you would just keep their eyes always open for *L*. concluded Miss McKaughan.
