SHADES OF AGUINALDO—Mrs. Luz Key, a Filipina and wife of Wilson B. Key, assistant professor of speech, and Clodoaldo H. Leocadio, graduate student from Sarsagan, Philippine Islands, rehearse the "dance of light" for Saturday's foreign student festival. The dance is traditional in the Philippines.
Museum Has Rare Egret, Thanks To Coed's Bird Lore
As Mary Alice McIntosh, Glendale, Calif., sophomore, strolled down to the Sigma Nu lake to get fresh water for her two pet newts, which she acquired in the Ozarks during spring vacation, she suddenly became aware of a large white bird lying at the water's edge.
"Hmmm," thought Mary Alice, well-versed in bird and bug lore, "I do believe that this is an American eret!"
And so thinking, the bold Moss McIntosh picked the bird up by its tail feathers and took it to the Museum of Natural History where her identification was verified.
Egrets, characterized by their white plumage and wide wing spread, live in various parts of the United States but are comparatively rare. Therefore, museum officials were happy to be given this specimen and it will be used as a study skin, bearing a card with Mary Alice's name as its finder.
Fortunately, this bird had died a natural death. Shooting them is illegal. Legislation was necessary to protect the survival of egrets, which at one time were in danger of becoming extinct. Plume hunters used the long, white feathers as ornaments for their hats.

"My opinion is that it blew up north in a heavy wind and died over the God-forsaken state of Kansas!"
The cause of the death was not determined but Mary Alice's father, an ex-biologist, wrote this comment to his daughter:
