Kansas City Museum gives collection to KU
CAMPUS BRIEFS
The Kansas City Museum recently donated a collection of preserved animals to the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History.
The collection of nearly 200 vertebrate specimens includes a nine-foot Alaskan brown bear and a polar bear, which are now on display at the KU museum.
A variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish gathered from around the world also were included in the collection. The specimens will be used for exhibition or research.
The KU museum acquired the specimens because the Kansas City Museum wanted to be consistent with its mission.
"The main focus of our museum is regional history - Kansas and Missouri - and these specimens came from regions other than our own," said Julie Mattsen, Kansas City Museum registrar. "We believe the KU museum offers more exhibition and research uses for the collection."
KU special education department best in U.S.
A survey of faculty from around the country rated the doctoral program of the KU department of special education number one in the nation.
Two California researchers surveyed faculty members of special education departments in 1985 and 1986 and gathered other information throughout the 1980s. Their findings were published in the spring 1993 issue of the Journal of Special Education.
Despite the fact that data was gathered in the mid-1980s, Jerry Chaffin, head of KU's special education department, said he considered the results still valid.
"We have been consistently ranked among the top one or two programs in studies for the past 20 years in quality of graduate studies," he said. "If anything, productivity has increased."
Special education departments at Vanderbilt, Syracuse and the universities of Oregon and Minnesota were also among the top-rated programs.
Gary Grunewald, professor of medicinal chemistry, has been appointed acting dean of KU's School of Pharmacy during the search for a permanent dean.

Grunewald replaced Ronald Borchardt, head of the department of pharmaceutical chemistry, who was acting dean for the 1992-1993 academic year.
Grunwald has been active nationally in scientific affairs. He is head of the division of medicinal chemistry at the American Chemical Society and will continue this position in 1994. He also will head the pharmaceutical sciences section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1994.
Grunewald has served two terms on the board of directors for the American Heart Association and serves on nomination and selection boards for several national awards.
Grunwald has been at KU since 1966, when he joined the faculty as an assistant professor of pharmacy.
Former KU student Lori Minnix finally was crowned Miss Kansas on her third attempt. Gov Joan Finney crowned her Saturday night in Prat
Miss Kansas crown goes to KU alumna
Minnix, 24-year-old Lawrence resident, was first runner-up in the Miss Kansas pageant last year and second runner-up in 1991.
Last January Minux won the Miss KU-Lawrence pageant. Her previous pageant experience was beneficial in this year's pageant.
She was a preliminary winner this year in the swimsuit and evening gown competition.
As Miss Kansas she now has an opportunity to compete for the Miss America crown in September in Atlantic City.
Minix received a master's degree in Spanish literature from KU in December 1992 and plans to begin work on her doctorate.
