'I Have Something to Say...' Logan Takes Research Leave
By Maury Breecher
James K. Logan, dean of the Law School, announced yesterday that he will be taking a semester's sabbatical leave starting Feb. 1.
Logan will be taking the Sabbatical for purposes of research and relaxation.
"A DEAN never has time to do any sufficient amount of research," Logan said. "I feel the need for a change of pace. As a teacher I enjoyed classroom teaching and research. As a dean I have had the opportunity to do some teaching, but haven't had time for a substantial amount of research."
Logan said that he has been working for several years on a book on the farm surplus problem. Many books have been written on this subject by political scientists and economists but never by a lawyer, from a lawyer's viewpoint, according to Logan.
"I feel that I have something to say," Logan said, "and I want to say it. Thus, the only thing I can do is to write a book presenting a full and complete statement demonstrating all sides, qualities, exceptions, and angles that I can think of."
LOGAN SAID that he had a substantial amount of research done on the book and hoped that he could finish it during his fivemonth sabbatical. He also plans to work on a casebook on wills, trusts, and estates, for use in American law schools. This casebook is being written by Logan in collaboration with W. Barton Leach of Harvard's Law School.
Logan also plans to work on a handbook of Kansas corporate law in collaboration with KU law professors Lawrence E. Blades and Arthur Travers. He also plans a new approach for a casebook of business law. He said
his publishers were quite enthusiastic about the casebook and were urging him to complete it.
"The only way to accomplish these projects is by taking this leave," said Logan. Logan, one of the youngest law deans in America, said the job of a dean is wearying and that he is always worrying about not doing enough research.
"I AM THE type of person who gets involved mentally and emotionally in what I am doing thus
I think a change of pace is very good and I am looking forward to it," Logan said.
Logan will do most of his research and writing on the KU campus but said that he would be operating in a cubicle in the library without a phone. He plans no speeches or committee duties while on his leave. He did say that he would be available for consultation on any long-term plans for the law school.
She Loves Rocks and Her Job
By Cheryl Hentsch
Is it volcanic, metamorphic, or sedimentary? Does it contain fossils of leaves or animals? And what is it good for?
Answers to these questions and many more from Kansas school children and private citizens are provided by Miss Ada Swineford, director of the petrography division of the Kansas Geological Survey and assistant associate professor of geology.
In her dual capacity for the Survey and KU, Miss Swineford represents the woman who uses her college education. Presently, she is the only woman on the geology faculty.
"I BELIEVE a woman does not need to retire from life after college and marriage. Too many young women in college fail to use the education they receive. I would hate to think that the majority of KU women were only in school to get married," Miss Swineford said.
As a Lawrence resident since the early 1940's, Miss Swineford has seen many students come and go, buildings change, and educational attitudes alter. During World War II, Miss Swineford recalls, the newly constructed Lindley Hall was not used initially by the natural sciences, but by the navy servicemen stationed at KU.
Miss Swineford has been with the Survey since 1947 and joined the KU geology staff in 1958. The petrography division which she directs identifies and describes rocks and their contained minerals.

MG SPORTS SEEDAN
Room for five. Built for fun
Room for five —80% of the MG Sports 'Sedan is devoted to people. Result: room for five non-dieting humans to stretch out and relax. The travelling gear goes into the trunk (where it belongs). Plenty of window glass about, so relax and enjoy the view. Built for fun—the MG Sports Sedan will out-handle an embarrassed number of sports cars... thanks to front wheel drive, fade-free disc brakes and Hydrolastic suspension.
30-miles-to-a-gallon adds immeasurably to the fun. As does the low initial price.
