Bees Making Beeline for States
Kansan Photo by CLAY LOYD
By SHARYN BALLARD Kansan Staff Writer
The bees are coming! 'It's not a line from a horror movie, but the truth.' The African honeybee is advancing toward the southern United States at the moment. It will be to Charles A. Michener, professor of entomology.
If an insect is in the bee family, its sting could be as minor as that of the sweat bee, or cause the same throbbing torment as that caused by a honeybee. If it infests a nearby skin a irritation or it could result in death.
A foremost expert on bees, Michener has been studying the social habits of bees for more than 20 years. His recently awarded $35,800 grant from the National Science Foundation is directed to the study of sweat bees but Michener has been doing extensive research on the African honeybee.
This bee, which was brought to Brazil in 1967, is far more aggressive than the European honeybee, which thrives in the temperate climate zones, according to Michener.
The African honeybees are easily aggravated and attack collectively. They have been known to kill
At the request of the United States Department of Agriculture, the National Academy of Science last November and December sent Micheneer and seven others to participate in a study they conducted a study of the African honey bee.
livestock, wild animals and humans.
The scientists traveled throughout Brazil, interviewing beekeepers and examining the bee itself.
That would mean that there are now over three trillion African honey bees in the western brittle.
"The African honeybee has spread from the original 26 colonies brought from Africa to about 125 colonies per square mile in some parts of an area the size of the United States," Michener explained.
By natural spread, Michener said, the bees as swarming northward at the rate of 200 miles a year. Because the African bee can exist in warm temperature as well as tropical areas, Michener believed that they could survive in the southern part of the United States.
"The African bee's sting has the same amount of venom as the European variety, but their coloration is much darker."
"However, the disturbing behavioral quality that their aggressive nature causes the bees to attack collectively under little provocation and allow them to move longer moves or get out of their reach," he said.
beekeeping," Michener said.
All is not lost. In fact, Michelen is optimistic about the value of the African honeybee as a vital pest resource.
"It's hard to determine just how many have never killed from the African honeybee. Emotionalism plays such a role that accurate records are not to be found. People have gone out on hunts with an ax and have been taken into a hive. Naturally, the bees would attack, but as any honeybee would react, 'Micheen explained.'
In the short run of the situation, things look bad for beekeeping with the African honeybee he said, but in the long run, beekeepers may be able to accomplish what they set out to do in the first place, namely, develop a good tropical-adopted strain of honeybees.
Although it is illegal to have bees in Brazilian
beekeepers in Brazil are successfully
developing strains of the African bee that are not so aggressive. The hybrids of good character, it is hoped, will one day dominate the African honeybee in the western hemisphere.
"If this occurred, beekeepers would have increased honey cultivation; and crops would benefit greatly from the increased pollenization of crops." Michener said.
"The altruistic behavior of bees and other insects is what makes their study so interesting," Michener said. "The worker gives up his reproductive system to improve the queen bee's reproductiveness. The working together is what is so fascinating. It makes the study of these insects so interesting."
While working under his new grant, Michene will be involved in the study of sweat bees, which are at the beginning of social evolution. Willbell Bell, assistant professor of entomology, and Rudolf Jander, lecturer in biology, will also be working on the project.
Michiener said of his life's work: "If one knows how and where the bee lives and learns how to kill it off, we can then use the bee more fully for the natural pollenization of vegetation."
Sociologist to Counsel Builders
Sociology department chairman E. Jackson Baur embarks next month on a year's leave of absence to serve as resident scholar at the University of Hartford for Rivers and Harbors in Washington D.C.
The Board, Baur explained, reviews projects planned by the agency and estimates their effects, both good and bad, upon the adjacent
The Corps, said Baur, "is increasingly concerned with the human consequences" of its dam-building projects.
As a result of the National
Environmental Protection Act, the Corps, like all government agencies, must prepare a detailed study of a project's impact on the environment, including the impact on residential areas.
Legally, the review board has power. Baur explained. It makes final decisions and can modify appropriately the plans of the Corps.
Baur will advise the engineers on the sociological effects of their projects. As resident of the city, Baur will be more personal sociological

Of the past, Baur said, "I would suspect the Army Engineers haven't needed much in the way of public relations."

plans were blocked by senators until after the flood of 1951, when north Lawrence was underwater.
"You can still see the flood watermark on the Union Pacific Passenger Station."

Docking Says Government Politics Both Need Women
"Like any bureau, they like to grow, which for them means to build more dams."
Actually, Baur explained, the Army Corps contains very few military men.
Baur said, has become aware of its public image as a group of ruthless technologists, without reason spawning dams
"Designers and planners are "civilian," said Baur. Only the administrators and the chief of the Corps are in the military.
The critics of the Corps, said Baur, "claim they (the Corps) overbuild.

Gov. Robert B. Docking said he wholly approves the greater weight of the policies wives in his address at the Sunflower Girls State inauguration on Friday.
He cited the large number of women now serving in his administration's advisory committees, boards and councils.
"It is no longer a man's world, in this day of women' s liberation, and both men and women should be educated to understand government," he said.
This amendment will insure equality of the sexes.
"I find it stimulating to learn new things," he said.
People downstream from a dam, who have lost money from flooded crops, may favor it, said Kevin Hicks, one of the welcome tourists who swarm to the recreational facilities provided by a reservoir. But many people including those who live near the dam, strenuously object to it.
Docking told the group of 439 men who were standing there continue to call upon citizens, regardless of sex, to help improve the quality of life in this country.
He expressed his pleasure that *Jamaa* was one of the first states to pass the *Amendment* now awaiting ratification of the required number of
The governor said it seemed strange that in this country, where the law is rarely equal, it took nearly 200 years for equality of the sexes to be applied.
Docking said that he had learned that the strength of mankind is under commitments to each other and to all citizens of the world, and he praised the Girl Staters for their tactical in their mock session.
The Corps, said Baur, "takes pride in the fact that they've invited the opposition to meet with them."

All of these people—"the people who live in the actual affected areas"—will be Baur's "army," and they will "sensitize" the Corps to those people's problems, and to draw "the public more effectively into the process of developing and planning the physical programs"
Resident scholars of recent years have included a biologist, a lawyer and a historian, who have each broadened the unimaginable of the Corps about the effects of dams upon a community.
A note of solemnity marked the mood of the insurgation, though Mr. Mulder had greeted given out the Governor Michelin Maddox as she gave a

Quoting the Girls State motto, she reminded the throng of citizens they must have "Pride in thy country, faith in thy self."

70 Senior High Journalists Attend One-Week KU Camp
By MARY LIND
Preliminary enrollment for the one-week session of the senior high school journalism camp on Monday, p. sunday at McCollum Hall.
Seventy prospective high school journalists and five advisors of high school publications are expected to participate in the five-day program, which will emphasize areas of high school history from a newspaper, yearbook and photography.
The campers will be taking courses under instructors at the American Yearbook Company and the IT Printing Service they have hired to newspaper yearbook entitled the "Junior Jayhawk" which will be available on campus.
Midwestern Music and Art Camp has been held during the summer for a number of years, this is the year for the shortened session.
"This is more of a service camp to help improve work on the high school publication, than on the college. You can way the six-week camp is." De Brinkman, associate professor of journalism and director of the campus newspaper.
Although a six-week journalism camp affiliated with the
According to Brinkman, there have been complaints in past years because many students would have liked to attend the six-week camp but could not afford the cost of the extended session.
Suzanne Shaw, assistant professor of journalism, will serve as co-ordinator of camp activities. She pointed out that similar abbreviated sessions at the University of Kansas universities in the past.
sessions: one for newspaper and one for yearbook," Shaw said.
had little effect on the number of students enrolled in the six-week camp and has increased the total number of high school students taking courses in the School of Journalism, she said. Last summer, 260 students in the program was 28. Combined enrollment of the two sessions this summer will be 96. While most of the students are

All of the campers will be housed in McCollium Hall and will attend all of their classes in Flint Hall.
Athletics, Entertainment Available
An extensive program of intramural sports is planned for the summer session. According to Henry Shenk, head of the department of physical education and recreation, the activities will include basketball, softball, tennis, golf, handball, horseshoes and badminton.
Just because some student still have to attend classes doesn't mean they can't enjoy a summer vacation. There are numerous sources on the campus for additional activities this summer.
The original deadline for signing up for these inframural sports was Saturday, but Shenk has extended the period to today. Anyone wish to sign up may do so within 108 hours (Gym, or by calling 864-3371).
"The sooner we have all of the names, the sooner we can make up the schedules and get started." Shenk said.
He said he wanted to start intramursal by the middle of this week and have them finish during the last week of classes.
Besides organized intramurals, almost all of the campus recreational facilities are open to faculty and administration.
The University pool is available to the campus com-
The handball courts have always been in great demand. There are three in Robinson Gym and two in the gym. Sign-up sheets for the courts are posted on Monday and Thursday in the gym. During this week, the three indoor handball courts are open at one a time for minor repairs.
The University of Kansas has 3 tennis courts which are available to summer students. Four are near the football stadium, four are behind Allen Field House and five are south of house on the campus. The field house and gym are lighted for night play.
There are several facilities in
A period from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, is reserved for the faculty. A period from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, is reserved for campus families.
This summer will be especially entertaining for Shakespeare fans. There is a summer Shakespeare film festival which features the Shakespeare plays, beginning June 11 with "Henry V." The University Theatre is also presenting three Shakespeare dramas: "Twelfth Night," "Hamlet" and "Merchant of Venice."
The campus offers more than just physical activity for leisure time, however. The Kansas Union is offering a full schedule of popular and classical films available on campus. Among the films to be shown are "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" and "Monster Park."
Softball fields are available near the gym. there is a small court and there is an indoor Inside, basketball, volleyball and tennis as well as a weight training room.
