Through the patriotic efforts of four Finnish students, the flag of their native country will now hang in the collection in Strong Hall, which has previously included only flags of the member countries of the United Nations.
Finn Flag Joins Banners In Strong
Early this semester four Finnish students saw the flags, which decorate the rotunda.
They were Esko Nieminen of Kuopio, Ingvar Melin of Jakobstad, Tumma Orsa of Littouen, and Bo Wingvist of Helsinki, who are pictured above (from left) with Chancellor Murphy.
Although Finland is not a member of the UN, the students asked the
chancellor if their country's flag might also be represented.
Dr. Murphy told them the University would gladly install the banner if the students secured one. They wrote to the Finnish-American Society in Finland, received the flag a few weeks ago, and presented it to Dr. Murphy yesterday afternoon in a special ceremony in the chancellor's office.
Nieminen, speaking for the Finnish students, told Dr. Murphy that it was an honor to have their flag accepted by the University. He expressed hope that some time in the future Finland might become a member of the international organization.
to maintain the independence we won in 1917, especially during the last 15 years," Nieminen said. "We are proud of our association with the United States and our opportunity to study at the University of Kansas."
"Our country has struggled hard
He also noted that next Tuesday will be the 38th anniversary of Finnish independence.
Dr. Murphy told the students the flag would be hanging when they attend classes that day. A special installation ceremony is also planned at that time.
Dr. Murphy informed the students that the KU flag collection would in the future be called the "Flags of the Nations" display.
Texas Panhandle Field Trip Yields 75 Small Animals
Four zoology majors and an instructor bagged 75 animals in the Texas Panhandle during a Thanksgiving vacation field trip for small animals.
Their catch included kangaroo rats and grasshopper mice. They discovered three species of these desert rodents, which had not previously been found in that part of Texas.
Those making the trip were Sydney Anderson, zoology instructor; Rupert D. Dunn, Wellsville senior; George W. Jakway, Twin Falls, Idaho graduate student; Eugene H. Schmitz, Alma senior, and William L. Cutter, Gruver, Tex. graduate student.
The group also found six kit fox or swift fox, as they are sometimes called, a small fox of the western plains believed to be extinct. The ones found had been killed along the highway.
The animals will be added to the collections of the Museum of Natural History. The field trip also proved valuable, Mr. Anderson said, in determining the number and distribution of these small mammals.
National Post Goes To Extension Head
T. Howard Walker, University Extension director, was appointed yesterday to a four-member National University Extension Association committee on relations.
"The purpose of the committee is to maintain a high level of cooperation with a number of organizations and institutions of higher learning through their extension or adult education programs," Mr. Walker said.

Thursday. Dec. 1. 1955. University Daily Kansam
T. Howard Walker, director of the University Extension, and Robert Vosper, director of libraries, have accepted appointments to an advisory committee established for a library-community project begun recently at Ottawa.
A library will be set up there as the center of an experiment to find better methods of adult education. The project has been planned by Zelia J. French, extension librarian of the Kansas Traveling Libraries Commission, who has received a two-year grant of $12,-000 from the American Library Association.
TORONTO-(U.P.)-Bank manager T. B. Burns gave chase yesterday when one of his tellers screamed that she had just been robbed of $4,000, but caught the wrong man. He grabbed a fleeing man only to discover that his captive was a bank patron who also had been chasing the bandit. The robber got away.

The society is a national organization connected with the United States Marketing Service. The purpose of the group is to study the history of agriculture, both national and internationally. Dr. James C. Malin, professor of history, served as president of the society from 1944 to 1945.
from the library's beginning in Fraser Hall, when only few volumes were on its shelves, it has grown to the present crowded Watson with many and varied collections.
About 60 per cent of these books are in the main library book racks, housed on eight levels behind the circulation desk. The remaining books are in departmental libraries or in sections of the main library.
Robert Vosper, director of libraries, believes it is the aim of the library to teach the average student to be an adult reader and to "foster a love of books as books and of the possession of books."
