COPPOCK STAFF
PRESENTS SKIT
Dr. Adolph Addresses Group
"Glimpse of Chinese
Life"
Dr. W. EL Adolph of the chemistry
department spoke on "Glimpses of
Chinese Life," at the Grace Cop
pock convocation held Thursday at
the Temple theater. Approximately
one hundred big and little sisters
and other university women attend
ed this program, in charge of Janice
Wills.
"House of Wang Faces Its Fears,'
is the title of the skit which was pre
sented by members of the Grace
Coppock staff. This skit portrayed
the life in a Chinese home and
showed how Christianity and educa
tion changed its atmosphere. Beau
tifal costumes were loaned by Mrs.
L. P. Hartley and Miss Williams.
Dr. Adolph, in his talk, gave his
personal reflections on the life in
China. Courtesy and respect per
meate every activity. The Chinese
have a great deal of reverence and
love for their ideals. Display does
not play an exceptionally large part
in their country. There is much to
be said for a county which does not
believe it necessary to wear one's
heart on his sleeve.

Geology Professor At
South Dakota Secures
Rare Sand Crystals
Vermillion, S. D., Nov.-17. Sand
crystals on exhibition in the geology
department at the University of
South Dakota, secured by E. P.
Rothrock, professor of geology, from
a sand bed near Snake Butte, Wash
abaugh county, occur i nonly one
other place in the world according
to Mr. Rothrock.
The crystals are very large, some
times over two inches in length. The
ones at the university are in the
form of a large cluster. The crystals
ae composed of grains of ordinary
sand trapped in calcite formation.
According to Mr. Rothrock, the for
mations are really calcite crystals,
and the unusual feature is the way
grains of sand have bfccoiae impris
oned in the calcite while i was crys
tallizing. Calcite is ordinary cal
cium carbonate or lime. The sand
inwrapped in the structures is ur
changed. The only place other than South
Dakota where Buch formations are
found said Mr. Rothrock, is near
Fontainebleau, France.
