Stones Can Deceive Geology Survey Says
Sandstones-whether impressive masses in Zion National Park, strata in the rim of the Grand Canyon, or cross-bedded ledges on the banks of the Wakarusa in Douglas County, Kansas-are not always what they seem, according to a recent report issued by the State Geological Survey at KU.
Internal Structures of "Homogeneous" Sandstones, Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin 175 Part 1, is based on analyses by x-ray pictures of 316 samples from 61 rock formations in seven states.
In recent years, many geologists have focused attention on the understanding of sedimentary structures, in the interest of science and economic application. Recurring questions include those relating to the origin and significance of sandstones that appear to be structureless and homogeneous. Did the sediments develop in special environments? Was the material itself uniform? Did burrowing organisms play a part? Or What?
The author of the report—W. Kenneth Hamblin, now of Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, formerly of KU, and a summertime staff member of the Kansas Geological Survey-attempted to find some of the answers by radiographic techniques. Using this x-ray method, the same as is used in the medical laboratory, he was able to obtain such detailed information as subtle variations in composition, texture, or fabric, which may be completely invisible to the human eye.
Quill' Magazine Returns to KU
After a semester of dormancy, Kansas University's literary magazine, The Quill, is now in operation.
Under the leadership of the editor-in-chief, Bill Knief, Mission freshman, a new staff has been organized with Edwin Eigner, assistant professor of English, as the advisor.
"The failure of the magazine in past years has been due to the lack of advertising," Jay Vandervelde, Emporia freshman who is the managing editor of the magazine, said.
Separate poetry and prose boards comprise the judging panel. Entries may be fiction or non-fiction. All KU students and any other creative writer may deposit their submissions at the English department in Fraser Hall.
Several manuscripts have been submitted. Plans are to publish an issue before spring-break. If the response is favorable, a second issue will follow.
The annual District Speech and Drama Festival for high schools will be at KU this Saturday.
This competition, sponsored by the Kansas State High School Activities. will attract 47 schools with 500 students. All will be from the eastern third of the state.
