Lindley Room Named For Past Professor
Prof. R.C.Moore
The Raymond C. Moore conference room of the State Geological Survey in Lindley Hall at KU will be dedicated to 11 a.m. Saturday.
Dr. Robert F. Walters, chairman of the Mineral Industries Council of the Geological Survey and partner in the Walters Drilling Co., Wichita, will make the dedication.
Attending the brief ceremonies will be representatives of the Kansas Geological Society, the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association, and Eastern Kansas Oil and Gas Association, who will be guests of the University for their annual visitation.
THE ROOM honors Dr. Raymond C. Moore, emeritus Summerfield distinguished professor of geology, a "starred" man of science, and one of the most famous men ever on the KU faculty.
A large wall case in the room will display medals, certificates and awards received by Dr. Moore during a half century of service in the fields of paleontology and geology in the state, nation and world. Many of his several hundred publications and other memorabilia will be on display
The portrait of Dr. Moore, painted by John W. Koenig of the Missouri Geological Survey and formerly of
Dr. Moore's research staff, hangs on the wall and a plaque on the door of 202 Lindley identifies the room.
Dr. Moore had completed 46 years of service to the University and Geological Survey when he retired in 1962. Alumni and friends at that time created the Raymond C. Moore research scholarship fund. The University has since established a Paleontological Institute to carry on Dr. Moore's work and the Regents Distinguished Professorship, authorized by the Legislature, has been filled by one of the nation's outstanding paleontologists, Dr. Curt Teichert, who is now director of the Institute.
Recently Dr. Moore received the first honorary medal awarded by the Paleontological Society for "his massive contributions and service in many facets of paleontology but most particularly for the stimulus that he is giving systematic paleontology through his monumental Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology."
In his official retirement Dr. Moore is continuing the organization and direction of this comprehensive international work. Thirteen of the planned 24 volumes have been published. Major financing has come from the Geological Society of America and the National Science Foundation.
MIAMI - (UFI) Costa Rica the democratic little Central American country which has always boasted more school teachers than soldiers, is beckoning retired Americans to establish residence there.
Those who do will be granted special customs exemptions privileges.
"And besides that, it's a nice place to live," said Costa Rican consul Juan Segovia.
"We've got fine coffee, beautiful climate and pretty girls. Who can beat that?"
SEGOVIA AND Francisco Bonilla, representing Costa Rica's LACSA airline and the nation's tourist institute, outlined the new program during an interview.
Costa Rica Beckons Retired Americans
"You might call it our Yankee-Don't-Stay-Home-Plan," said Segovia who explained that it is embodied in legislation just approved by the Costa Rican congress.
"As any tourist can testify, we like Americans and they seem to like us," he said. "Now we are making it economically worthwhile as a permanent move for senior citizens."
The law covers all foreigners but is obviously aimed at dollar-pensioned Americans.
IT AUTHORIZES persons retiring to Costa Rica to bring in an automobile duty-free. It also waives duties up to the amount of 5,000 colones (about $850) on household and personal effects.
Retired persons receiving these customs exemptions must have
sufficient income to live in Costa Rica without, working, according to Bonilla.
"Americans have a big advantage in the fact that one dollar exchanges for more than six of our colones," he said.
A mountain country situated in the tropics, Costa Rica is bordered by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and Nicaragua and Panama. Its people are known as "Ticos."
San Jose, the capital and its other main cities are in the central

He had only one word of advice for Americans.
"We haven't had a revolution in almost 20 years," said Segovia. "And the only reason we had that one was to toss out the Communists. They haven't come back."
