By Bob Aldrich
A short time ago, a professor
on the Nebraska campus received
a letter from the Macmillan Com
pany advertising a book on
weather. The ad claimed the book
would tell you where rain comes
from. The professor wrote on the
back of the letter: "In Nebraska,
we don't care where rain comes
from. We want to know where it
has gone."
A few days later, he got an
other letter from the advertising
manager. Another book of theirs,
the gentleman said, would answer
his question.
The name of it: "Gone With the
Wind."
The professor was Eck Frank
Schramm, chairman of the depart
ment of geology.
Professor Schramm has so
, many positions requiring his time
and energy that he can't remem
ber them all.
"But," he says with a broad

of all."
"Let me see," he continued,
scratching his graying head and
looking out at a Sn.y that promised
rain. "I'm a member of the inter
fraternity board or control, rm a
member of the Student Union
board chairman last year. I'm
advisor for the interfraternity
council. Advisor to Kosmet Klub.
Advisor to Sigma Gamma Epsilon,

oil-conscious
with display
Underground formation
encountered in drilling
shows in camel room
Owing to the increasing interest
of the Nebraska public in the
state's first producing oil well, the
university museum will display for
the first time today an exhibit of
the type of underground formation
encountered in drilling the well
near Falls City.
The exhibition, which has been
prepared by Ervin Brier of De-
Witt, graduate assistant in the
Museum, under the direction of
Bertrand Schultz, will be shown in
the camel room.
In addition to a large pen and
ink cross section of the entire
southern end of the state showing
the position and depth of the vari
ous formations, there will be sam
ples of the rock and sandy ma
terials found in this vicinity, in-,
eluding the black alluvium soil of
the surface structure on down thru
the white, gray and black material
of the alternating limestones and
shales to the Hunten deposit from
which oil is now being pumped.
Also on display will be a miniature
oil derrick and another map of the
state showing the location of some
of the deeper wells which have
been drilled for oil.
The cross section map will show
the geologic formations not only
as far down as the present bottom
of the well, but on down the re
maining several hundred feet to
