kU's debate squad has won 60 per cent of their rounds this year. They have set a KU record of 500 wins in a season.
THE MUSEUM'S first big boat resulted from a field in the eastern Kansas in the 1870s. On this field trip Skipper found a large amount of ice.
Fifty-four teams from across the United States participate in a tournament KU has debated against a third of these teams in tournaments this year.
This year's debate topic is, *Is the State that Greater Carroll Should Control better than the Gathering and Utilization of Information about U.S. Citizens*?
According to Harrell this year's topic allows for a greater variety of areas to be covered by debaters within the overall topic.

At that time the beetles sold for $15 a piece to beetle collectors. Instead of the bugs, the snow. All over the world, saying that he would exchange a pair of the rare beetles for $15, considered to be $15 worth of bugs from his particular environment. As a result, the museum received $15.
KU placed second at a national anonymous tournament for four years, before Barrilarmine-Ursuline College in Louisville, Ky., this past week.
The winning team was Bill Webster, Carthage, Mo., freshman, and Todd Hunter, Oklahoma City, freshman. He was the best speaker in the tournament and Hunter was named sixth.
Also debating for KU were Frank, Stewart, Manhattan frank and Marshall Kansas. Kansas City, Kan., freshman Stewart and Baylw won five of the game.
Byers said that the insects in a museum are individually by drying them on ice, preserving them in alcohol. The museum still has bugs dating back to the 18th century.
BYERS SAID that protecting the insect specimens from a species of carpet beetles that cause severe greatest problem in preserving the specimens. The museum uses 400 pounds per year of a fumigating chemical to protect these insects from these beetles, he said.
The Entomological Museum is a research museum because it does not have exhibits such as Dyche Museum by Bayrs said thus the museum had outgrown it and there was no room for exhibits.

Besides functioning as a research faculty for KU students and faculty, the museum also has expertise in collecting insects specimens to people all over the world doing entomological studies. Byers said he had shipped bugs as far as Japan and Africa. In return, the museum has received over 40,000 copies of specialized insect studies.
THE MUSEUM contains hundreds of duplications of the same species and new ones added. But they were added. Byers explained the duplication saying that to study different types of people from all over the world, not just one type, you need to use same principle applied to bugs.
Theatre majors and faculty members voted to select persons who will comprise a committee to determine the specific guidelines for the awards. Five students and two faculty members were selected for the committee.
The committee will accept nominations for awards from anyone who has been involved in a theatre production.
