Grant awarded to KU professor for glacial study
Wakefield Dort, Jr., associate professor of geology, has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant of $11,400 for a 10-month study of glacial geology in the McMurdo area, Antarctica.
Dort said he will probably be in Antarctica during January and the first half of February.
"I'll only be in Antarctica about six weeks. The rest of the 10-month period will be spent in lab work here." Dort said.
The study will be a continuation of some of his previous work, Dort said.
He said the study will focus on the interpretation of glacial evidence in terms of climatic change.
This will be Dort's fifth trip to Antarctica since 1965. In honor of his work there, a peak in the Queen Maud Range was named Mount Dort. Recently he was awarded the Antarctic Service Medal by the Department of Defense, a spokesman for the Geological Survey said.

Apollo 7 lifts space program
(UPI)- The amazing Apollo 7 space machine proved beyond doubt Tuesday that America's $25 billion drive to send men to the moon is back on the track after sinking to the depths of disaster 21 months ago.
The almost flawless maiden manned flight of the moonship is a tribute to the thousands of engineers who worked literally day and night to eliminate the bugs that led to the fire deaths of Gus Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee Jan. 27,1967, in Apollo 1.
Apollo 7 showed the improved strain of moon craft is not only safe for manned flight, but its systems are mature enough to transport men on the daring, half-million mile roundtrip to the moon.
Project Apollo has had its successes-most notably the initial test flight of the Saturn 5 moon rocket a year ago-but none approached the significance of the trial of the Apollo 7.
The moon project may not have been able to survive a second catastrophic failure.
After the Apollo 1 tragedy, the moonship underwent probably the most exhaustive overhaul in the 11-year history of the nation's space program. It was subjected to every conceivable test.
But until men were actually put at the controls and the ship was subjected to the rigors of space, no one could be certain the Apollo would work as expected for 11 demanding days on its own.
When its pilots—Walter Schirra, Donn Eisele and Walter Cunningham-climbed aboard Apollo 7 Oct. 11, they were reasonably certain that the risks to their lives were slight. But
Churchill's career lecture topic
The career of Sir Winston Churchill as a writer and historian is the topic of the Humanities Series lecture to be given Friday by Dr. J. H. Plumb, professor of modern English history and vice-master of Christ's College, Cambridge University, England.
The lecture, "Sir Winston Churchill, Historian," will be at 8 p.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall.
There is no doubt that the moon program will move on to an even more ambitious mission with Apollo 8. And, as one official said, it's almost a foregone conclusion that Apollo 8 will soon receive clearance to fly around the moon and back.
they had no idea the ship would operate as well as it did over the full 163-orbit route.
Project Apollo, however, still has a major hurdle to cross before it can land men on the
moon-a far more difficult feat than circling it.
The moon orbiting machinery has passed its tests. But the moon landing spacecraft—the complex, four-legged lunar module—has yet to be tested with man in space, the only place where it will work.
craft will work out together for the first time.
The lunar module will get a chance to prove itself on the Apollo 9 mission scheduled for late February. It will be launched into earth orbit along with a command ship identical to Apollo 7 and then the two
If the lunar module performs as well as the command ship did in the Appollo 7 flight, the next mission — Apollo 10 — conceivably could be cleared for a lunar landing attempt.
But Apollo 11 appears to have the best chance of receiving moon landing clearance. If it does, and is successful, the United States may well land two men on the moon, and get them back to earth, by late next summer.
