THE DAILY TAR HEEL Tuesday, February 20, 1963 1 F(D)f TED V V J I tm. S By FRANK BALLARD of The Dally Tar Heel Staff Ashes from the Tioga volcano, which erupted about 370 million years ago, are scat tered over a national area estimated at several hundred thousand square miles. But after 10 years of track ing down the ashes, UNC Geo-, logoy Professor Dr. John Den-' nison can study maps of the eastern United States and predict within a foot the rock where the ash layer appears. The best estimate of Tioga's exact location is in western Virginia, near Williamsville or Charlottesville. It is known that the 10 cubic miles in volume of ash thrown out by the volcano blanket an area from Ontario to Tennessee. Patches of ash have also been uncovered as far west as Illinois. With the Development of the Continental Drift theory it's been suggested that traces of the volcanic ash could be found in Africa or Northern Europe. To fill in the blanks about Tioga, Dr. Dennison and two other geologists here are engaged in what he termed "the most extensive study of a Paleozoic volcano in the world in terms of time, details and difference in approaches." The other researchers are Dr. Daniel Textoris and Dr. Paul Fullagar, assistant pro fessors of geology. Dr. Tex toris has been working on the project since 1963 and Dr. Fullagar joined it two years ago. The three scientists met several years ago at the University of Illinois. "Now we're just lucky to be at the same campus," remarked Dr. Fullagar. Their research is divided in to two basic areas. Dr. Den nison concentrates on the field studies of the ash deposit and his co-workers test the ash's content in laboratories. Tioga has been an elusive quarry since its ashes were first discovered in 1948 at a Rialto Discount Students will now be able to get a discount at the Rialto Theatre in Durham on Tuesdays. From 12:30 until 5:30 p.m. each Tuesday, all students showing I.D. cards from UNC, Duke and NCC, will be ad mitted on 75 cents tickets in-. stead of $1 ones, receiving 25 discounts. There will be occasional films on which the theatre can not reduce rates, but these oc cur rarely. natural gas well drill site in Tioga County, Pa. "The county it was named for is about 300 miles north of where we think the volcano was," interjected Dr. Den nison, "but rock layers are always named after the area in which they're are first found." "There was a controversy as to what the unknown ash-like material was some scien tists suggested it might be from jsl volcano," he con tinued. "Then 10 years ago this sum mer I started a systematic search for the ash in exposed rock oatcreppings. I learned how to find it and since then have discovered it in over 100 localities from Tennessee to Pennsylvania." The number of localities in creases each month there's hardly a geologic trip I go on when I don't see an ash de posit." Dr. Dennison's field work in cludes determining the thickness of the ash as well as its location. By gauging the ash's thickness and its coarseness, the origin of the eruption can be pinned down. "It's thickest and coarsest said Dr. near the volcano." Dennison. For the past four years Dr. Dennison has discovered the ash deposits they are studied in detail by associates. Dr. Textoris examines sec tions of the ash ground thin enough to see light through. Besides this microscopic study, he studies individual ash particles and does x-ray and geo-chemical investigations of Tioga's deposits. "My work is also in the laboratory," Dr. Fullagar said. "Using special chemical analyses I get an age for the j . !l ir -' r - ' - - - - , m l i " " if 0 . - f " 'iijamn i f. - r M J; .Si ). Volcanic ash are determined at Goddard Center . . . UNC Geology Dept. hopes to get a mass spectrometer like this. ash in terms of miHioss cf years. It's safe to say that Tioga is about 370 mHiion years eld." Dr. Full2gar's processis known as radio-metric dating, ' which is similar to the carbon 14 technique. With a mass spectrometer located at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, McL, he measures small quantities of the trace elements strontium and rubidum, which help determine the age of the ash. "All Tioga's ash was dumped into the sea and we can use fossilized sea-shells to date it," Dr. Fullagar added The dates obtained from radioactivity and fossil study help fix the time scale of organic evolution, an aid to all research in the field. The Tioga study is an in volved effort "I suppose we're in correspondence with over 30 scientists throughout the coun try, estimated Dr. Fullagar. "People have asked if the ash we study is the same volcanic material that is found near Chapel HilL But the Chapel Hill volcanoes are about 100 million years older than Tioga."

It offers the third and fourth years of the undergraduate curriculum, leading to the B.A. degree. We accept liberal arts students who have completed the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore years elsewhere. We offer two programs Humanities and Social Science. Half the work in each program is done in DIVISIONAL COURSES which span the traditional departmental boundaries in order to study the basic con cepts, methods and principles of the larger discipline. In addition to the Divisional Sequence of courses each student works in a specialized area and engages in a tutorial leading to independent study. The program cul minates in an Inter-Divisional-Senior Seminar, which examines the rela tionships between the disciplines of Social Science, the Humanities and the Natural Sciences. The juniors in the Social Sciences take three Divisional (year long) courses. In the first course the emphasis is on a systematic analysis of a large (mac ro) social order in this . case the American culture. Readings include: Paul Goodman, Drawing the Line: Luckman and Berger, Social Mobility and Personal Identity; C. Wright Mills, selections; Parsons, The Link Between Character and Society; Car michael, What We Want; de Tocque ville, Democracy in America; San tayana, Character and Opinion in the United States; selections from Freud and Skinner; economic analysis by Knight, Samuelson and Marx; and political analysis in the terms of Hume, Aristotle and Dewey. The sec ond course is in micro-analysis, i.e.. an examination of subcultures seen in relation to the larger community. We read Glazer and Moynihan, Be yond the Melting Pot: Malinowski, Kroeber, T. S. Eliot (Notes Toward the Definition of Culture), Weber (The Protestant Ethic), Erik Erikson. Malcolm X, and more readings and field work on such subcultures as the hippies, the poor and the black na tionalists. The third course is con cerned with comparative .analysis specifically comparison of US USSR, largely in terms of the social, political and economic dimensions in the process of industrialization which have taken place, east and west. The , readings include case study material as well as complex conceptual anal yses: Henderson, Ashton, Bendix. Nef, Moore, Schumpter, and more. All Divisional Classes for all students are small. The major concern of the classroom is to analyze the readings. Teaching is by discussion a syste: matic approach to each text. . ' The juniors in the Humanities also take three year long courses. Working with materials from all of the arts and philosophy these courses engage the student in various modes of critical and interpretive analysis in order to maximize the possibilities for significant discoveries in confronting the vast range of works created by man's intellect and imagination. Here, as an example, are excerpts from last year's com prehensive examination. The following texts all concern themselves to a greater or lesser extent with the question of human history, and the correlative question, the possi bilities for progress. Choose three of the following texts and compare and contrast their treatment of these ques tions. Communist Manifesto; Reason and Experience (Dewey); Structure of Scientific Revolutions (Kuhn); Genesis; Antigone; Caesar and Cleopatra; The Sound and the Fury". . ."2. One factor which would seem to distin guish indisputably the modern temperament from the past is the drastically shifting conception of the heroic-rnot only in terms of what the heroic indeed is, but also in terms of what possibilities for heroism still exist. Discuss this quotation drawing evidence from Job: Phadre: The Strang er; Hippolytus; MaratlSade; The Balcony; Billiards at Half Past Nine". . .3. Using one of the following films. 8Y2, Wild Strawberries, Last Year at Marienbad, The Knack, Ulysses, discuss in what sense the material (i.e.. cinematic technique) affects the value judgments you make of character, incident, and theme.". . ."4. How do partic ular words or images control aesthetic responses in the following poems: Leda and the Swan, The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock, A Coney Island of the Mind"..."5. Compare the role of coincidence in King Lear and Tom Jones, indicating to what extent the nature of that role is determined by the tragic structure of the one and the coaiic structure of the other..:. ."6. In reading both philosophy, and arguments, language has been one of the most recur rent topics: Aristotle on diction in the Poetics, Plato on the living word, Augustine on the Word that was in the be ginning, Unamuno on the birth of language in relation to the tragic sense, Wordsworth and Coleridge on the rela tion of language to the minds of men, Freud on verbal slips, and Heidegger, Carnap, Wittgenstein and Chomsky on philosophic issues bound up with language. Using at least four of the above, write a brief essay on language by indicating some key insight of each of the four and discussing the scope of the problem (or values) language presents us with. We're located in Greenwich Village coffee houses, but no football. We don't even have a gym, but only a city full of concerts and cul ture. And we don't operate dormitories. We don't count credits or grade points. You earn the degree when you pass all of the compre hensive examinations and have made a success ful oral defense of your independent research.
