Two New Records Added To Kennedy Comic Album List
NEW YORK — (UFI) — Two new long-play records piled up on today on the ever-growing stack of "comic" albums about President Kennedy.
Unlike the records made by Vaughn Meader, Marc London and other Kennedy imitators, the voice heard on the two new discs actually is that of the President.
THE RECORDS are "Chet Huntley Presents Best of Washington Humor," which was produced for Cameo records by Tait Trussell. The other is "Sing Along With JFK, Laugh Along With Nixon," produced by George Atkins and Hank Levine for Reprise records, Frank Sinatra's label.
The Huntley-Trussell excerpt is an on-the-level reproduction on tape of Kennedy's speech to the White House Correspondents Association dinner shortly after the President blew the whistle on big steel for raising prices, an action which later was rescinded by U.S. Steel and others.
"I have a few opening announcements." Kennedy said. He then complained about the White House Correspondents Association raising the price of dinner tickets $2.50 over the previous year and said this was against the public interest.
"IF THIS INCREASE is not rescinded but is imitated by the gridiron club, radio and TV and other dinners, it will have a serious impact on the entire economy of this city." Kennedy said, much to the delight of his audience, which included stage and screen stars and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
"Sing Along With JFK" is quite different. For one thing, the record is gimmicked on both sides. One side is based on Kennedy's inaugural address, the other on Richard M. Nixon's bitter press conference on the day after he lost the California gubernatorial election to incumbent Gov. Pat Brown, and a speech by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In the Reprise record, Nixon's voice is faithfully reproduced but all sorts of sound effects — laughter, hand-clapping, boos — have been dubbed in at strategic points.
Geologists centering activities at KU are unearthing some of the secrets of a billion-year-old natural basement 10,000 feet below the surface of the Kansas plains.
Kansas 'Basement' Stirs Geologists
A battery of geologists from coast to coast and three governmental groups—the Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Atomic Energy Commission and the Air Force have shown interest in the study of the Precambrian layer of rock under the state and midcontinent area.
A KEY MOTIVATOR in the project at KU is William W. Hambleton, professor of geology, who says his interest in the study goes "all the way down."
"We used to think the top or sedimentary layer was the extent of geological interest," Hambleton said. "But now there is a basement too."
At the basement's shallowest point, in the Nemaha county area, it is from 300 to 500 feet below the surface. It is deepest in southwest Kansas, being buried under 10,000 feet of sedimentary rock.
KU researchers began the basement study about four years ago by compiling lists of oil wells and locating them. More than 2,300 samples taken from the wells provided the basis for an initial tabulation.
KU GEOLOGISTS, however, were not alone in their work. About the time they were beginning the study, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists set up a national committee for a more extensive study of the Precambrian layer throughout the United States.
The "top level" man is Daniel Merriam, of the Kansas Geological Survey. He is concerned with the rocks down to and at the surface of the basement.
In their research, geologists at KU are coming into the basement from all directions.

Prof. Hambleton is using gravity-valuation studies to find out the shape and content of the basement itself. Paul C. Franks, survey geologist, and Robert W. Scott, Fremont, Neb., graduate student, are making a microscopic study of the Pre-cambrian rocks.
Finally, James A. Peoples, associate professor of geology, is using seismological techniques in an effort to determine where the bottom of the basement crust is located.
And across the continent, scientists at the United States Geological Survey at Menlo Park, Calif. are conducting magnetic-suseptibility tests on Precambrian samples from Kansas.
AT COLUMBIA University's Lam mont Geological Observatory, Dr J. Lawrence Kulp is dating the rock samples by potassium-argon methods.
The efforts of the Kansans and their collegues are expected to result in important geological information, especially as to how the basement controls the upper sediments.
The project is young and its potential results can only be imagined. Yet the basement already has opened up what Kansas geologists unhesitatingly refer to as "The Kansas Precambrian: A New Frontier!"
Five KU Students Selected for AFS
Five KU students have been selected by the American Field Service (AFS) committee of People-to-People as candidates for AFS summer chaperons.
The above candidate applications will be sent to the head office of AFS in New York for the final approval.
The students are: Sharon Foster, Birmingham, Mich., senior; Myrna Fraser, Topeka senior; Nancy Stout, La Grange, Ill., senior; Pamela Stone, Wichita sophomore, and Carol Holstrup, Concordia junior.
AFS sponsors tours for high school foreign students studying in the United States, and bears the expenses of the tours. It aims to bring understanding between the United States and other nations. It tries to give opportunity to foreign students to visit different parts of the United States before they leave this country.
Selected students will travel to New York City and Washington, D.C., with the travelling groups of their areas.
