High geological honor to Moore
An international honor has been conferred upon Dr. Raymond C. Moore, emeritus Summerfield professor of geology at the University of Kansas and the University's most decorated scientist.
The Societe Geologique de France has elected Moore to associate membership, the highest

honor it confers upon foreigners. He is the first person since 1965 to be so honored.
Dr. Moore joined the KU faculty in 1916. Since his official retirement in 1962 he has continued active in KU's Paleontological Institute through editorship of "The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology." About three-thirds of the goal of 35 volumes have now been published. The University has received outside support of more than a half million dollars for this project.
On Issues in Public Communications which began yesterday.
Dr. Moore is a past president of the Geological Society of America.
Concluding the two-day symposium at 1:15 p.m. today will be Jack L. Daniel, professor of speech and director of black studies at the University of Pittsburgh.
The subject of the talks will involve the breakdown in communication between students and administration on the college campus and also between blacks and whites.
"We feel that militancy is being used as a substitute for communication," stated Carl Kell of the department of speech and drama, which is sponsoring the lectures.
"The purpose of this symposium is to discuss the nature of these acts of militancy on campus."
Speaking during the first day of the symposium were Harry A. Bailey, Jr., professor and chairman of the department of political science at Temple University, and
Wm. Bruce Cameron, professor of sociology and assistant dean of social sciences at the University of South Florida.
Bailey is a graduate of the University of Kansas, having earned his M.A. degree and his Ph.D. degree in political science in 1960 and 1964 respectively.
Commentators from the KU faculty will question each speaker after his appearance in the program which is open to the public. The commentators will include J. Eldon Fields, professor of political science, Donald R. McCoy, professor of history, and Walter H. Crockett, professor of speech and drama.
'Hawk track team in final NCAA tilt
Each speaker will talk approximately 40 minutes giving the critics and audience time to ask questions and give their own opinions on the items discussed. The four guests are expected to give widely diversified views in their presentations.
A strong Kansas track team will be among the top six favorites at the 48th NCAA track meet today and Saturday in Knoxville, Tennessee.
KU track coach Bob Timmons feels Southern California, UCLA, Villanova, Tennessee and San Jose State all have excellent shots at winning.
"We have a good chance if we can just put it all together," Timmons said, looking optimistically at the first NCAA track meet to be held in the southeast.
Jim Ryun, who ran a 3:55.9 mile at the Compton-Coliseum meet in Los Angeles earlier this month is expected to pace the Jayhawks. Timmons intends to have Ryun run the three-mile as well, which would increase the Jayhawks chances of victory.
This may not be possible, however, because trials for the three-mile immediately follow the one-mile trials. This creates a problem

because Ryun cannot compete in both trials without increasing the chances of hurting his leg. If it is decided there will be no trials for the three-mile race, he will run the mile qualifying race, and the mile and three-mile races Saturday. Ryun's best three-mile time is 13:29.3 against Southern Illinois.
The Jayhawks will be helped by shot putter Karl Salb, who set the best collegiate mark this year (67 feet, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch) and Stan Whitley in the long jump.
Both Ron Jessie and George Byers will be threats in the high hurdles and freshman Bob Bornkessel will try to better his 51.2 time in the 440 yard intermediate hurdles.
The Jayhawks will field a total of fifteen men.

BULLETIN
This decision means that KU's Jim Ryun will not have back-to-back three-mile and mile preliminary races, previously scheduled within thirty minutes of each other.
NCAA officials determined late Wednesday evening that preliminaries in the three-mille race would not be necessary since the field for the event dwindled from 33 to 22 entrants.
KU coach Bob Timmons did his part in reducing the field for the three-mile event by taking freshman Rich Elliott out of the race. Elliott was scheduled to run only in Thursday's six-mile finals.
Wescoe portrait takes its place in Strong gallery
A large oil portrait of W. Clarke Wescoe, KU's tenth chancellor, has taken its place with the portraits of the other nine in the second floor rotunda of Strong Hall.
Danniel MacMorris, Kansas City, Mo., was the artist. MacMorris also did most of the other portraits, using available photographs when sittings were impossible.
The painting was financed with private funds through the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Dr. Wescow will become vicepresident for medical affairs of the Sterling Drug Company in New York City July 1. Chancellor since 1960 and formerly dean of the School of Medicine, Wescow announced his resignation last September so that he "might have a second career."
Yearbook now ready
The fourth issue of the 1968-69 Jayhawker yearbook is now being distributed in Room 32 Strong Hall during the University's business day. Previous issues may also be obtained or purchased.
