Drillers, Attention: Page 5 Thursday, January 2, 1957. University Daily Kansan Graduate Student To Begin Experiments On Water Wells Experiments to find a simple method by which drillers can determine the efficiency of water wells will be started in February by Leslie E. Mack, Lawrence graduate student. He will be directed by Frank C. Foley, state geologist and professor of geology, and V. C. Fishel, district engineer of the U. S. Geological Survey Ground Water branch. "It seems probable that by using a laboratory model of a pumping well in natural surroundings that a family of time-drawdown curves can be obtained which would give an indication of efficiency." Mack is working hard towards a doctorate. He holds the Shell Oil Co. Fellowship for this school year. Equipment for the project will be constructed this month by members of the U. S. Geological Survey and tests will continue through the spring semester. The American Ground Water Institute, composed of independent drillers and engineers, is financing the project. "A simple, handy method is not available whereby a drilling contractor can determine the degree of development of a well." Mack said. A large metal tank will be filled with sand and water. In the tank will be placed models of a main Ten representatives from KU religious groups attended the United Student Christian Conference held Dec. 27 through Jan. 1 at Oklahoma A&M college in Stillwater, Okla. Students Go To Stillwater It was one of seven study conferences held throughout the nation during the holidays. The theme was "Being the People of God," based on the book, "Chosen Peoples" by Denis Baly. The program of the conference consisted of speeches, religious panels, and worship and discussion groups. Over 200 students and faculty members attended from 52 schools in this region. Representing KU were The Rev. Mr. Ernst Klein, associate professor of Religion; Miss Sarah Guy, KU-Y secretary; Jimmy Reynolds, Lawrence graduate student; Patricia Ellis, Salina nesior; Ann Vrbsky, Crete, Nebr., Michael Mills, McPherson, juniors; Debbie Hollaway, Great Bend sophomore; Carolyn Towsend, Wichita, and Frank Swanson, Clay Center, freshmen. 'Press Freedom Not UDK Issue' Freedom of the press is not a real issue in the controversy over political neutrality in the University Daily Kansan, Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, told the Men's Club of the Congregational Church Wednesday night. Freedom of the professional press and of the student press are not comparable. Prof. Telfel said. pumping well and several observation wells. The entire model will represent an actual well and the immediate area from which it draws water. "The publisher of a professional newspaper is completely responsible for it, financially and otherwise," he said. "Every student paper that I know of, except possibly one or two, is to some extent subsidized by the university. I don't know of any one that pays overhead costs, for example. To me it seems somewhat illogical to demand unrestricted freedom on a platform you haven't paid for." Geologists End Underlay Study "Water level readings will be taken from the observation wells at different points and time intervals," Mack said. "This data will be plotted, and what we call a cone depression curve will result." The Kansas State Geological Survey at the University has completed a study on Nodaway underclay, a ceramic raw material underlying the Nodaway coal in rocks that crop out across Kansas from Chataquua and Cowley counties to Doniphan, Brown and Nemaha counties. N. J. McMillan wrote the report of investigation of 39 sets of samples from 39 localities at 5-mile intervals across Kansas from the Oklahoma to the Nebraska borders. "The tank will be filled many times with different grades of sand, and there will be from eight to 10 experiments with each grade of material. We will plot this data each time the tank is filled and get a family of curves, which we hope will determine the efficiency of the well itself." Underclay is a light gray layer that occurs below many coal beds and that becomes plastic when wet. Mack said that after the experiments are completed, the research material will remain at KU for future use by students of ground water hydrology. Applications for general chairman and business manager of the 1957 annual Engineering Exposition, to be held April 18-20, are now being accepted. Engineering Show Jobs Available Foreign students and other aliens who were in the United States on Jan. 1 must by Jan. 31 report their addresses to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Any junior or senior enrolled in the School of Engineering may apply by filling out an application and leaving it in the engineering office in Marvin Hall, addressed in care of Tommy Griffith. Griffith, Pratt senior, is president of the group in charge of selecting people for the two posts. The deadline for applications is Jan. 24. KU Foreign Students Must Make Report Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, said the report card, form I-53, may be obtained at either the KU or Lawrence post office. The completed form can be turned in at the post- offices. He urged foreign students to make the report early this month. Kids Will Be Kids- You Say You Want To Teach? A young woman enrolled in the student teaching program at the University learned a lesson in patience when one of her young pupils left his grade school for the Christmas holidays. The student teacher was helping the children with their coats, caps, and scarfs when she noticed one little fellow struggling with his galoshes. "Jackie, would you like me to help you?" the young woman asked the round-faced boy who is one of the quieter pupils in her class. "Yes," was his solemn reply. The galoshes seemed too small for Jackie's feet but after much tugging and pulling, the student teacher succeeded in putting them over his shoes. Then Jackie looked at the young woman innocently and said, "Teacher, these aren't my galoshes." Although exasperated, the young woman smiled sweetly at little Jackie as she tugged and pulled at the galoshes. Just as she finished removing them, Jackie, who was wide-eyed, looked at the student teacher once again. "These are my sister's," he said. "My mommy made me wear them today." 2 Students Attend Baptist Congress Two members of the Baptist Student Union attended the Student World Missions Congress Dec. 27-30 in Nashville, Tenn. Jay Maxwell, Sedalia, Mo1, and Nancy Harmon, Wichita, juniors, were among the 17 official delegates from Kansas colleges. The student department of the Southern Baptist Convention sponsored the meeting to acquaint students with present missionary efforts and needs.
