5000 COLD MILES
Dort to tell of Antarctic venture
By Diane Seaver
The adventure and science in Antarctica will be discussed by Wakefield Dort, associate professor of geology, Wednesday, May 18, in Lindley Auditorium. Dort has just returned from KU's 1965-66 Antarctic Research Expedition.
From November to mid-February, Dort and graduate student Peter Mills operated out of McMurdo Station, the main United States base for the entire Antarctic continent. They flew nearly 5,000 miles by helicopter to 50 localities in Southern Victoria Land.
"WE WENT to Antarctica to study land forms and deposits left by glaciers which used to be more extensive than at present," said Dort.
"We found evidence indicating that the glaciers have advanced and retreated during the last few thousand years in a pattern similar to the fluctuation of glaciers in North America.
"This means that whatever the fundamental causes of a glacial period are, they affected the entire world at the same time. Previously-held theories that apply to only
the northern Hemisphere are not valid."
DORT AND MILLS flew to the South Pole in a Hercules cargo plane. There they raised a large KU flag.
They visited Plateau Station, a small, newly established American base at an elevation of 12,000 feet near the center of the Antarctica ice cap. There the temperature was 50 degrees below zero
When they left Antarctica in mid-February, the sun was almost about to touch the southern horizon for the first time. Temperatures were decreasing rapidly.

They spent a week studying parts of an almost road-free wilderness in central Tasmania, as well as a few days in the Snowy Mountains near Canberra, Australia's capital.

The KU geologists now face the task of writing reports for scientific journals to describe their many findings. A shipment of more than half a ton of Antarctic rocks has already arrived in Lawrence, as well as several thousand aerial photographs.

The Student Peace Union expects a larger turn-out than in previous years for its picket of the Chancellor's ROTC Review May 20. "People are realizing at last that we are pointing at bigger issues than just ROTC," Dean Abel, SPU president, said yesterday at a meeting in the Kansas Union.

"OF COURSE some of the field projects could not be completed in the short Antarctic summer season," said Dort. "I am already planning a return trip during part of next.year's fall semester. I will be back at KU for full-time teaching next spring."
Abel, a graduate student from Michigan City, Ind., said more people are thinking about the draft because more of them are affected directly.
SPU will set up a table Monday through Friday to distribute peace literature. They will explain alternatives to the draft, including conscientious objection. A display case is also reserved for this purpose:
