Landes of the geology department, but the difficulty is in getting at the oil. A former editor of the Bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Prof. Lan- des remarked that a good block of acreage is necessary to drop a well and often large areas are sur- rounded by too many small land holdings, resulting in disappoint- ment for the owners. CONCERNING the University's chances with oil land, Prof. Lan- des said that while Michigan does possess tracts of land, there is slim chance that the University can get a return from them, as the state has mineral rights to the land. "It is impossible to be in the position of the University of Texas which has enormous land ownings in western Texas, given by the state as a source of in- come as grazing land. "The state has been smart in retaining mineral rights to lands that have reverted back to it be- cause of non payment of taxes," Prof. Landes continued. In some cases the land area has been enor- mous, he said, giving as an ex- ample lumber companys' lands that returned to the state which now has mineral rights over the land's resale.
