Afton Smith Receives Award Afton Smith, a LOGAN graduating art student at Utah State University, has been chosen by Utah State University to receive the Elder Scholar award and represent the school in national competition. SMITH HAS been working on a master of fine arts degree at USU since 1977 and exhibited her work recently in partial fulfillment of the MFA re- sities. The national winner will receive a full tuition scholarship to his or her school, or. in the case of a student w ho has completed all degree requirements. an equivalent cash award will be given. FOUR WINNERS in each of four regions of the U.S. will receive $500 grants from Colonial Penn Group, Inc. quirements. The Elder Scholar Award program is sponsored by the Colonial Penn Group. Inc., of Philadelphia. Pa., specialists in insurance for men and women over 50 years of age. Other criteria used by selection committees in choosing representatives were academic excellence, extraordinary motivation, personal achievement. contribution to society and role model. ACCORDING TO Adrian VanSuchtelen, chairman of Smith's graduate committee. "The completion of Afton Smith's MFA degree will be the result of a great deal of dedication. hard work and self- - COMPETITION for the annual award is limited to students over the age of 50 who are U.S. citizens enrolled in degree programs at accredited r colleges and univer four-yea- motivation. also feel that in testimony to her courageous and bouyant spirit which even through whatever personal adversity she experienced, never failed to uplift the spirits of the people around her."

Liquefaction susceptibility is an unexplained phenomenon that occurs in sand deposits during an earthquake. The water pressure increases in sands forcing the particles apart. Sand grains lose their particle to particle bonding qualities. water-saturate- d WHEN THIS happens, the sand begins to slide. Structures built on sand deposits sink. Mud and earth slides sweep through open fields. Earthquake damage caused by liquefaction would be greater in the western part of the county because the soil is more sandy and the water table is high. IT IS NOT know n how thick a sand bed must be before l- iquefaction takes place. The tests now being done measure only deposits 18 inches or more deep. Scientists don't know if l- iquefaction takes place in gravel deposits. THE GOAL of the SI 00.0(8) grant from the U.S. Geological Survey. Utah State University is to prepare an "earthquake susceptibility" map for Davis County. Dav is County and local city planning departments will benefit most from the scientific study Prof. Loren Anderson of DAMES AND Moore geotechnical engineers of Salt Lake City are the professional consultants. To prepare the Earth Quake susceptibility map. 250 core samples that have been taken in past years were studied and recorded on a county map. These samples came from foundation excavation sites. IN AREAS where there were few available samples, permission was obtained from property owners to take samples. Sixteen samples were taken last fall and an additional 16 sites were sampled this spring. RAYMOND International Drilling Co. used the "split spoon" sampling method and the "standard penetration test" to obtain soil samples. "Split spoon" is a drilling casing that resembles two spoons placed together facing each other. T e casing is bored into the earth to a depth of 30 feet. Core samples are examined and recorded about every five feet. THE "standard penetration is the number of times the hammer hits the drill rod. This gives an indication of the relative susceptibility of the soil. The fewer times the hammer hits the drill rod to cause penetration, the more sandy the soil is. The earthquake sus- lest" ceptibility map for Davis County will be completed by March 31. USU HAS additional grant money to study liquefaction in Pictured above, are Susan (.teen and Scott I.unt. two ol the print ipal dantets to be leatured in "Dante Your Wav Fame" to be presented Satutdav evening, Mav 2.'L at 7 p.m. in the kavville Stake (.enter loiated on fan field.
