Geologists prepare for in-depth study of terrain
Researchers from a geological consortium will find out next week what parts of Kansas look like 25 miles underground. The researchers might stumble onto minerals or petroleum. Roger Hahn, graduate scientist, said yesterday.
"Our purpose is not to explore for oil or any valuable mineral, but just to find out exactly what the rock formations are at that depth," Hahn said.
Hahn said the $500,000 project would last about three months and would be conducted along a straight line from Atchison to Concordia.
The Consortium for Continental Rejection Profiles, comprises Princeton University, Princeton, N.J., and the University of Wisconsin, Texas and Houston.
Hahn said that the actual testing would be geophysical in Houston, and that geophysicist Jack Oliver of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., would direct the study.
He said the surveys would be done by using large trucks with vibrating panels to lift the samples and the vibrations go deep into the earth and bounce up when they hit different layers
HE SAID the vibrations that returned to the surface would be measured by geophones, which enable researchers to determine the amount of vibration knowing how quickly the vibrations回.
Geophones are similar to microphones, but they amplify ground vibration for monitoring equipment. Data collected is then run through computers for results.
"There is no reason not to believe there aren't four or five Saudi Arabias under the Anakolians." he said.
He said a similar survey in the Appalachians had produced surprising oil discoveries.
"OIL MIGRATES by allowing water to push it up until it gets to a structure it can't penetrate," Islam said. "But it is the purpose of the survey to find oil."
He said the oil below the Appalachians might have been contained by impervious rocks.
The main expense of the research, he said, will be the five large trucks and the 15,000 geophones to be used.
He said because the University of Kansas is the host institution, KU could obtain a cheap price what would or not be necessary to sensitive data from the Survey's analysis.
Hahn said the data obtained might provide practical knowledge about current oil recovery methods and about the nature of earthquakes in the state.

A tennis ball is not usually thought of as a psychological tool, but to about 30 participants of a workshop on self-defending, it could be the beginning a new personality.
Workshop mav help self-defeatists
By PAMELA LANDON Staff Reporter
People attending "How to Counteract Self-Defeating Behavior," a workshop given by the American Psychological Association in counseling, will carry tennis balls with them to address their defeating awareness of their self-defeating behavior.
As people juggle their tennis balls while trying to do routine activities like hand-washing, they will become conscious of the need for protective gear and keep their self-defensive behavior, he said.
Procrastinating, overworking, overrating and expecting too much are habits many people recognize but cannot overcome, Thomas said.
The participants will discuss whether the tennis balls helped them next Tuesday in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
This makes the action less of a habit and more of a conscious choice, Thomas said.
HOWEVER, THOMAS said there was no magic way to eliminate self-defeating behavior, which he said everyone had.
"Self-defeating behavior is a way in which we work against ourselves," he said. "As we work against ourselves, we limit what we might be."
have actively chosen to procrastinate or oversteal or overwork," before they engage in self-defeating behavior.
"Not only do we not let others see what we are capable of doing, we hide from outsides what we are capable of doing."
Often such behavior becomes habitual,
and it can lead to failure of offspring
of studying for a test, allowing himself
to study the next day. He then begins
to automatically study without, during
the day, learning.
For example, consequences of procrastination might be stress, lack of sleep and strained personal relations, Thomas said.
People keep procrastinating or overreaching because they are comfortable with their habits and are afraid to try new responses, Thomas said.
HE SAID he tried to get people to think about what they were doing.
He also has people list consequences of their behavior on paper to make them more aware of the price they pay. he said.
Thomas asks people to say out loud. "I
Thomas said he did not expect a workshop participants to overcome their difficulties during the program, because replacing self-defeat with positive behavior took time.
The Student Senate's off campus housing board was filled yesterday with the appointment of five additional members, according to Margareed Berlin, student body member.
Five named to off-campus board
The newly-named board members are:
Donita Meaga, Salina freshman; David Bruns Jr., Kansas City, Kan.; junior;
Martha Kick, Pricarie Village junior; Tum Huber, Shawnee freshman; and John Lawrence, Lawrence first-year law student.
Huber lives in Shawne and commutes to KU. The rest live off campus in Lawrence.
Berlin said the five new members were selected because of the ideas they had to contribute to the board. They were selected from about 15 applicants and approved by the 15 applicants and approved by the
fairs; Julia Mahaffey, Student Senate constituent services director; Chris Kline, student representative for the office of residential programs; and Lorna Grunz, director of the student assistance center. Caryl K. Smith, dean of life, student and faculty. University information center coordinator are ex-officio members of the board.
The new members join Shelley Senecal,
student representative for consumer af-
THE BOARD will serve as a lobbying group at state and local levels for University students who live off campus, according to Berlin.
Sensail said, "We considered what the meeting would be, the amount of time they had available to give to the board, their prior activities and, in general, their qualities of the team."
several weeks ago and observed them to find out what ideas they had."
"Margaret and I also sat in on an organizational meeting the board held
Berlin said, "We hate to limit the board to five, but we still need some people to work at various levels with us."
The first meeting of the board will be held at 8:30 tonight in the Student Senate Office in the Kansas Union. New board members will attend the duties at the meeting, Special advis.
She said that people were needed to help with the board's mailing lists and to act as buffers between the board and other groups.
"In the future, we hope to meet two or three times a month but it's really up to the board," she said.

future will be structured to take into account such eventualities."
The Faculty executive committee charged the Tenure and Related Problems committee earlier this year with studying the grievance procedures.
Francis Heller, chairman of the TRP, said he would review the current procedures and report back to FacEx.
Heller said he did not know whether the University legally could handle the distribution of handouts within the grievance procedures.
