The State Geological Survey at KU is celebrating its centennial all over the state this summer—as its geologists, in one of the busiest field seasons ever, go to the southwest, northwest, central and eastern parts of the state.

Some geologists are doing geologic mapping. Some are collecting limestone, clay, shale, or sandstone samples. Some are studying groundwater conditions in specific areas. Some are evaluating mineral resources in relation to local economies.
All are looking at rocks, and whether the immediate aim is to determine position and sequence of rock units or to study one detail or one resource, the ultimate objective is to add to our knowledge of the Kansas earth—this knowledge to be used to improve the economic well-being of Kansas.
GROUND-WATER investigations are in progress at least 23 counties. Robert Dingman, in charge of the cooperative ground-water division of the United States Geological Survey and the Kansas Geological Survey, has these men working out of Lawrence: John Winslow, Howard O'Connor, Stuart Fader, Charles Bayne, William Severs, William Jungmann, Don Miller, Jesse McNellis, and Charles Morgan.
Five members of the groundwater division will be working out of Garden City: Don Layton, Walter Meyer, Ed Gutentag, Robert Prill, and David Lobmeyer.
In a major geologic mapping project in central Kansas, Norman Plummer of the survey's ceramies division and Paul Franks of the petrography division are studying the Dakota Formation-Kiowa Shale sequence of Cretaceous rocks in eight counties. They also are collecting information for an exploration map delimiting areas worthwhile for prospecting for ceramic and construction materials.
IN A RELATED study, Allison Hornbaker and Ronald G. Hardy of the mineral resources division are making an economic study of possible uses of beneficiated clays for product development.
Geologic mapping in Clark County was essentially completed last summer by Ada Swineford, head of the petrography division. Dr. Swineford will be in the county this summer, however, measuring a few rock sections to include in the county report she is writing.
Two members of the geochemistry division of the survey, Walter Hill and Karmie Galle, will be collecting limestone samples from units in the Lecompton Limestone, which crops out in a narrow belt from Doniphan County to Chautauqua County.
Later, they will analyze the samples chemically and spectrographically, and the information will be available for use in locating and developing quarry sites. The geochemists also will be doing mapping in an underground limestone quarry north of Atchison.
DR. KENNETH HAMBLIN, summertime staff member of the survey and wintertime member of the faculty at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, will be collecting sandstone samples in the approximate area where the geochemists will be collecting limestones. Dr. Hamblin's study is oriented toward determining types of variations in and significance of internal structures of the sandstones.
"We have learned much about the state's rocks and mineral resources in the survey's 100 years of operation." Dr. William W. Hambleton, associate director of the survey, said. "But this learning is a cumulative process, and although we can never hope to have complete knowledge, we can continue to increase our understanding. Our field program is basic to all our activities."
WASHINGTON - (UPI) - More than a thousand priests, nuns, marriage counselors and married couples from Catholic parishes in all parts of America are meeting here for the annual national Catholic Family Life Convention.
sor of journalism, was the conference director. She has directed the program 12 years. ___
Catholics Meeting In Nation's Capital
A statement issued by the delegates said: "As delegates to the national Republican convention we have followed closely the campaigns of all the principal candidates. We have been fortunate enough to have been visited by both Sen. Barry Goldwater and former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon.
ATLANTA-(UPI)—Five Georgia delegates to the national Republican convention have reported they are impressed with William W. Scranton and have issued an invitation to the Pennsylvania governor to visit Georgia.
The invitation from the five delegates strongly indicated that Scranton may pick up several more delegate votes in Georgia at the convention. Up to now, 22 of Georgia's 24 convention votes have been committed to Sen. Barry Goldwater.
Scranton Asked To Visit Georgia
A telegram from the five invited Scranton to visit the state as soon as possible after his trip to Florida.
"The convention is drawing close and there is only one candidate that the Georgia delegates have not met and who has not been in Georgia and that is Gov. William W. Scranton."
Theme of the four-day meeting at the Shoreham Hotel is "The Child: His Glory and His Rights." Working commissions will explore the child's right to life, to emotional and physical well-being, to education, and to religious training.
At 9 am, today, a debate is scheduled on "Freelancing As a Way of Life."
Debate, Lunch in Union End 14th Writers' Conference Here
The conference began Tuesday morning with Holly Wilson, author of books for teenagers and juniors, speaking on "Seeing the Stories That Lie All Around You." William Harrison, author of short stories, talked about the modern writer and the amateur spirit.
Nearly 50 journalists from seven states attended the conference. Miss Frances Grinstead, associate profes-
The 14th annual University of Kansas Writers' Conference will close with an informal Dutch lunch in the Kansas Union Cafeteria at noon today.
Iola Fuller, author of many best-selling novels, talked on "Have You Said What You Meant?" Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning's schedule brought Theodore M. O'Leary, Midwestern sports writer and critic, who spoke on news staff duties.
Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh delivered the keynote address at the opening session.
