...that it is building on the east bank of the Colorado River, 235 air miles east of Los Angeles...
While studying for a final exam in structural geology at Colorado School of Mines last year, Graduate Student George Rouse, 33, was struck by a strange geological coincidence: deep earthquake zones angle into the earth at an average of 60° from the horizontal. His curiosity piqued, Geochemist Rouse decided to look for an explanation. What he found has become the basis of a new theory that-if proven valid-will have earth-shaking implications in the field of geophysics...
When Rouse presented his little globe and big theory to Colorado School of Mines Geochemistry Professor Ramon Bisque last September, Bisque was overwhelmed by the implications. "My God!" he said. "Yes," Rouse solemnly agreed. In the months since, Rouse and Bisque have discovered that primary mineral deposits, mountains, ocean-floor ridges and trenches and island chains also lie along the Rouse belts. They have even correlated variations in the earth's magnetic and gravitational fields with their all-telling circles...
Modeling Dough. What causes the stress in the plane of a Rouse belt, resulting in quakes, volcanism and mountain building? In the Mines Magazine, the Colorado scientists suggest that both interplanetary and glactic magnetic fields interact with the earth's magnetic field, thus tugging on the earth's iron core. But the core is prevented from responding to extraterrestrial magnetic pull by the inertia of the rotating mantle that surrounds it. The resulting conflict sets up stresses in the boundary between the mantle and the core that are released in planes tangent to the core...
Coeds & Cadets. Outside of the service academies at West Point, Annapolis, Colorado Springs and New London, only three colleges remain as all-male institutions in which every student must be a cadet: The Citadel, Virginia Military Institute and Vermont's Norwich University. Three others (Texas A. & M., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Pennsylvania's PMC Colleges) have made the cadet corps optional for men. To the dismay of combat-toughened alumni, they have also admitted coeds to all civilian courses. The seventh school, North Georgia College, has always enrolled women. The combined cadet enrollment at the seven has suffered...
