OIL AND GAS REPORT ISSUED
IS VOLUME IX OF STATE GEOLOGICAL REPORTS.
Prepared Under Direction of Prof Haworth—Profs. Cady, McFarland and Bushong Wrote.
The University has just received from the State printer for free distribution, five thousand copies of the "University Geological Survey of Kansas with a special report on Oil and Gas." This is Volume IX in the Geological reports and was prepared under the direction of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, State Geologist.
This volume is perhaps one of the most valuable yet published because it contains many maps, drawings, photographs and charts of the oil and gas regions of Kansas together with complete and exhaustive reports of discoveries made in connection with investigations carried on over Kansas.
The discovery of oil and gas, geological and historical, and its development in Kansas, is discussed by Prof. Haworth. The history of field work in Kansas, together with a list of the best known workers, has been carefully gathered by Prof. Haworth and Rev. John Bennett. These two men also have many charts and drawings as well as an exhaustive account of the general stratigraphy of Kansas. Prof. Haworth also has written up a detailed account of the geology of oil and gas, as well as a statement as to the life of oil-wells and gas-wells and gas pressure.
Professors Cady and McFarland of the University contributed a detailed statement on the chemical composition of gas, which contains a historical review of natural gas analysis. Prof. Bushong has an interesting report on the composition of petroleum.
There are many maps and charts of geological formations in this state together with some excellent photographs of various wells over the state. A complete record of all of the principal wells of the state is given.
Coal measures, faunal studies and the fossil plants of the Kansas upper paleozoic is discussed by E. H. Sellards, paleo-botanist and A F. F. Rogers and J. W. Beede, paleontologists.
This is an interesting book and is written up in such a readable manner that although it is scientific in its nature, one does not have to be a scientist to enjoy it.
The book may be obtained free of cost by addressing the Chancellor and enclosing thirty cents to cover the cost of mailing.
Entertained Freshman Medics
The sophomore Medics entertained the freshman Medics of the University at the Pi Upsilon fraternity home at 19 West Adams street last night. Several faculty members from the Clinical department at Rosedale were present. Dr. M. T. Sudler, dean of the school, gave the address of welcome which was responded to by Archie Beard.
Alice Griffin, of Topeka, a junior at Washburn college, visited here Wednesday on her return from Kansas City with Mina Johnson, a sophomore in the College.
NEWSPAPER STORIES FALSE
Professor Dyche Denies That Other Faculty Men Are Jealous of Him.
"The report that friction exists between certain members of the University faculty and myself is absolutely false and I wish you would make a vigorous denial of it. I never heard a word of the matter until Eugene Ware sent me a clipping from the Kansas City Journal. You can't make your denunciation of that story too strong to suit me," said Professor L. L. Dyche to a Kansan reporter yesterday, in regard to an article which appeared in last Sunday's Kansas City Journal.
The article referred to was under a Topeka date line, and purported to contain an interview with a Regent of the University. The Regent was quoted as saying that if any one had to leave the University on account of the friction which had arisen, it would not be Professor Dyche.
The article, which Professor Dyche brands as without foundation, is in part as follows:
"Information has reached the state house from Lawrence to the effect that considerable jealousy is being aroused by some of the University professors against L. L. Dyche, the famous naturalist. The trouble seems to be that Professor Dyche is becoming too prominent to suit some of the other professors. The friction has reached a point where it is believed that the regents will be forced to take a hand in the matter. If they do it will not be Professor Dyche who will suffer, either."
THE STAR'S LITTLE JOKE.
Reporter Notices Many Prosperous Students in Kansas City.
The Kansas City Star yesterday morning contained an article written by a reporter who had stood at the union depot and watched the passengers alighting from the Kansas trains. The article was written to show the prosperous condition prevailing all over the state. One of the items was the following about University students:
"Number of U. of K. students wearing rakish hats and noisy apparel—Forty-two. (Stated that Chancellor Strong forbade these young men to bring their valets to Kansas City for fear of creating the impression that snobbishness existed at the university. Young men universally, however, were wearing motor tab watch fobs and diamond fraternity pins.)"
PROF. DYCHE TO LECTURE.
Will Talk in Topeka on Polar Lands and Polar Explorers.
Professor L. L. Dyche of the department of Zoology will lecture in the auditorium at Topeka Friday evening on the polar regions. The lecture will consist of two parts. The first will be a description of the geography of the polar regions, and will be illustrated by one hundred and forty photographs taken by Professor Dyche. The second part will consist of his personal reminiscences of both Cook and Peary. He will not support the claims of either of the men to the disadvantage of the other, since he believes both of them have reached the pole.
[NOTE: Of late The Kansan has been receiving some few communications from students on timely University topics. In the future we intend to run a column for suggestions from the student body, but they are not too long will be printed providing the name of the writer accompanies the article. The name in no case will be printed.]
Tick Column
Editor Kansan: I have been a constant reader of the Kansan for thee years and while on several occasions I have wished to enter a protest against the editorial policy of the paper, never before have I had an opportunity such as has been presented by the inauguration of the "kick columan." I trust that you will pardon my open manner in criticising the Kansan but I believe it the duty as well as the privilege of every student of the University of Kansas to speak his opinions in regard to the paper as he sees fit.
The Home Diary a place to eat.
There are two editorials in particular that I wish to speak of. One appeared in an issue of a week or so ago and was on a new organization in the school and I believe that in taking the stand which was taken by the Editor of the Kansan, an undemocratic and biased stand was taken against the student body as a whole. It is the purpose of the paper, as I understand it, to play fair to the student body and not to cater to any particular crowd or organization.
The other editorial was printed last Saturday and "crawled" on a former news story regarding this year's Junior class election. I should say this, if you say a thing in the news side of the paper stick by it.
A STUDENT.
GIRLS BREAK DATES.
We're the womens student council Of the freshy K. U. girls
and we're going to change our custom
From the ordinary whirls.
For the love of Alma Mater
And respect of fathers coin
We're going to cut out midweek pleasures
pleasures Where the boys are prone to join. Since the boys are fickle minded
And can't wait till Sunday night. We will all be Princess' Idas
And will set them in the right.
And no maid will sit in shadow
Of the sweet madera vine,
We will meet at Jenny dear's,
And will talk of business only
With her handsome K. U. fellow
While the stars above her shine,
Now at seven Monday evening
We will meet at 7 o'clock each day.
How to keep the boys from tears.
But they didn't have their meeting
For a quorum didn't come.
But you mustn't think it's funny
For the reasons here are some,
"Oh twas dark last Monday evening
And I couldn't go alone,
But I might have ventured over
if the moon had only shone."
"And my goodness I will tell you This is all my reason why Goe I had my five nieces
Gee I had my one engagement
With a glorious Sigma Chi."
"Just as I came round the corner I met Henry passing by
And he says 'come down to Bryants And some sundaes we will try.'' Poor Marie was in a pickle For she had a desperate case And poor Bill might call her fickle Should she stop his steady pace Since these reasons are sufficient For the breaking of this date Do not judge the girls efficient In the power to regulate.
