George Young, museum taxidermist and in charge of the "bug house," pointed to animal carcasses along each wall of the building being carefully picked clean of all flesh. In two weeks, there would be no skin or flesh, just shiny skeletons, he said.
The "Bug house", a small brick building next to the greenhouses, is the home of thousands of small beetles which each day can be heard doing their strange work for science and the Museum of natural history.
Work As Well As Man
Campus Has A Bughouse; Not The Human Variety
"There they are." Mr. Young said, pointing to a dark, moving floor of beetles. "Common, dermestoid beetles that are found everywhere outside. Do the work as well as a man can—and more daintily. Although the beetles devour every bit if flesh, the more fragile bones that men's fingers often break are perfectly intact.
"After the skeletons are cleaned we take them up to the museum and with a little more work have a skeleton for one of our exhibits. Men who would be used for cleaning them can do something else."
Floor Changes To Concrete Mr. Young pointed to the open door as the moving floor slowly changed to a sold, concrete one.
Floor Changes To Concrete
"They don't like light. In fact, they are particular about several things. We keep this hut refrigerated in the summer and heated in the winter to maintain a fairly constant 80-degree temperature.
"There is quite a population changeover in the 'bug house.' These beetles only live about 45 days. They do the work you see here in the larvae stage, which lasts about 30 days. Their entire adult life is only five days."
Process 37 Years Old
Cleaning skeletons with beetles isn't a new process at KU. It is 37 years old and was discovered by accident.
In 1919, black carpet beetles were such a museum pest that a student, working on small bird skulls, attended exhibitions by enclosing them in tin cans.
Later C. D. Bunker, who was in charge of the museum of birds and
9 Students Play Housewife; They Cook, Dust, And Like It
They may never belong to the Future Homemakers of America, but the nine young men living in the Rock Chalk Co-op house are learning the life of a housewife—and liking it.
When they aren't cooking a meal, they may be sweeping and dusting a room, defrosting the refrigerator, celaning up a kitchen stove—in fact, just about anything.
Most of the residents each cook two dinners a week, but if cooking is not as easily for one as it is for another, they can do the cleaning instead. Each man fixes his own breakfast or goes without.
One man in the house acts as purchasing agent and buys all the food
The meals? "Some of them are really good—for boys," one student said.

Iranian Dish Banks High
Seshkebard, an Iranian dish, is one of the better liked foods of the Rock Chalkers. Nasrollah Vaqar of Iran, who has recently completed work on his Ph.D. at KU, makes it from sirlin steak. He explained that he sets the steak in chopped onions for five hours to make it more tender. It's served with rice.
Iranian Dish Ranks High
The 13-man capacity house has two single rooms, one 3-man room and four 2-man rooms. The house is owned by the KU Student Housing Association. Each member pays $3 a month for room rent, which is placed in the fund for the upkeep of the house. Total expenses for the month average about $43 a person.
for the house. Each person has a weekly job, such as cleaning the house or washing the dishes, in addition, of course, to taking care of his own room.
Arthur Mountain, Newport, N. H. freshman, also likes the Co-op, "Before, I didn't feel as though I could judge people, but after living here for seven months, I've learned as much about people as I've learned information in my courses."
Asked what he like about living in the Rock Chalk Co-op, Vaqar said, "You learn to compromise and as you work together, cook together, and talk together, you get to know each other personally and, the spirit of brotherhood helps you tolerate other persons' opinions, beliefs, and religions."

mammals, found upon opening the bettle-proof containers that the delicate skulls were cleaned and completely intact, and the compartment active with dermestids. The skulls, which had been so painstakingly enclosed, had been infested with eggs.
Skeletons Fumigated
The small beetles then were adopted to clean skeletons in a specially built bug room.

"After we take the skeletons back to the museum, we fumigate them so no beetles get into exhibits." Then they are soaked in an ammonia solution and dried. That's all. The beetles have done the rest for us.

NEW LONDON, Wis. (UP)—New London High school teachers will use television to keep an eye on the students. A closed circuit TV system with a wide-angle lens will be set up in the study hall so teachers can check on the students from an administrative office.
"It's a natural process, just one of nature's ways of getting rid of animal carcasses. The beetles don't care if they're outside in natural surroundings or in our 'bug-house.' In fact, they probably like it better here," Mr. Young said.
