Big Plans for Frozen Trip
Wednesday. Oct. 1, 1958 University Daily Kansan
Two KU geologists will leave for Antarctica Oct. 15 and will soon be tending a collection of frozen rocks.
Dr. Edward J. Zeller, associate professor of geology, and William C. Pearn, Sinclair, Mo., graduate student, will ship the rocks to KU for research and study after their 2-month trip.
The men hope to determine how long the Antarctic continent has been frozen and what effects the continent has on weather and tides.
Ten scientists will gather in Washington, D.C., to make the trip which is sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission and the International Geophysical Year organization.
All rocks tested must be kept frozen so the tests will be accurate The rocks will be shipped to KU in drv ice.
The two men have been preparing for the trip since March. Special clothing—shoes, socks, trousers, parkas, and sun glasses—will have to be worn.
Some tests will be made in the Antarctic, but the main tests will be conducted here.
The shoes have four innersoles to keep the feet away from ice and snow.
"I have been looking forward to the trip for a long time, but one piece of clothing bothers me," said Pearn. The piece is a woolen mask which covers the head almost entirely, leaving only the face and eyes exposed.
One test to determine rock ages will involve testing the light emitted from a heated rock before it becomes red hot.
Campus Humor:
Still Above Ground
Campus humor is not buried yet. Squat, former campus humor magazine, may have a successor after all.
Since last Wednesday about 20 persons have filed applications for staff positions with Sally Mack, Topeka junior, and chairman of the All Student Council Publications Committee. Two earlier appeals for staffers failed to draw a response.
The editor and the business manager for the new publication will be chosen later this week, Miss Mack said. Interviews for applicants will be scheduled after tonight's meeting of the publications committee.
Persons who have not yet applied but who are interested in the editor or manager positions should contact Miss Mack at VI 3-5900 by 7:30 p.m. today. No deadline will be set for other staff applications, she said.
A name for the new magazine will be chosen after the new staff has been organized.

The department has 76 mathematics majors this year in comparison to 45 last September. The number of graduate students has increased from 55 to 70.
