Snake Molds, Cactus Collected for Museum
By JIM HATHAWAY
Everything from cactus spine clusters to rattlesnake molds were gathered in Arizona the past five weeks by three men from the Museum of Natural History.
A. J. Robinson, Sam Dickinson, and George Young returned to Lawrence last week after collecting material for the museum's Lower Sonoran section of the North American panorama, which ranges from the Arctic to the Tropics. Their campsite, 16 miles east of Tucson on the Tanqueverde ranch, was close to the typical south-western scene, near the Catalina mountains, which they chose to represent in this section of the panorama.
The three brought back birds, small mammal skins, rubber and plastic molds of various cactuses, flowers and plants, spine clusters from various cactus, rattlesnake molds, a cast of a gila monster, and two large boxes of "dry material" weighing approximately 1,600 pounds.
Dickinson also made numerous sketches of the proposed scene and the plant life within it. They took both color and black and white pictures.
Prof. E.R. Hall, director of the Museum of Natural History, emphasized that although this material was the last to be gathered, the panorama was far from completion. Hall also praised the cooperation that the group received from the National Park service.

Ruth Nash Finds Housing Off Campus for Students
By LEE ANN URBAN
One of the University's toughest problems, finding student housing off the campus, falls on the shoulders of Mrs. Ruth Nash, secretary of housing.
Mrs. Nash took the job in 1947 after the death of her husband, Dr Bert Nash, professor in education. Since then she has found rooms and apartments for about 2,000 students a year.
Her duties include inspecting the homes and apartments and becoming acquainted with the landlades. Mrs. Nash is always busy, but the rush comes in the late summer.
"Our greatest problem is finding home for married students with children," Mrs. Nash said. "The jois has its problems, but I like it because I meet so many interesting people."
Mrs. Nash received her A.B. degree from Washburn in 1921 with a major in bacteriology. She taught high school science and mathematics in Oskaloosa for two years and in 1923 married Dr. Nash
years prior. 1963 to 1926 she did graduate work at Emporia State Teacher's college where Dr. Nash was teaching.
Mrs. Nash took more graduate work at Ohio State university from 1926 to 1928. During this time she
The Oregon independent made the statement in the first of a series of speeches on Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr.'s wiredtapping legislation. The speech was prepared for Senate delivery.
Her son, Robert Nash, is a student at the Medical Center, and her daughter, Mrs. Steve Mills, is also of Kansas City. Mrs. Nash has one grandson, Stuart Allen Mills.
Washington — (U.P.)— Sen. Wayne Morse said today that wire-tapping is "a police state method" which imperil the rights of U.S. citizens to privacy in their homes.
The Nashes came to Lawrence in 1930. Mrs. Nash was president of the Parent Teacher association at Pinkney school from 1938 to 1939 and president of Tennola club from 1941. From 1550 to 1653 she served on a committee Chair board. She is a member of the Plymouth Congregational church.
The daughter of Dr. and Mrs. L.
B. Bushong, Mrs. Nash was born
near Topeka and completed her
elementary education in the Topeka
schools.
Wiretapping Threatens U.S., Sen. Morse Says
"I intend to show that not only is the use of the wiretap by government officials repugnant to historical principles of American freedom, and a threat to the personal security of loyal citizens; but also that, as an investigatory device, the unreliability, inefficiency and the expense of wire tap operations, outweigh their alleged utility," the Senator said.
taught in a school for crippled children in Columbus, Ohio.
He said "wiretapping is a police state method. We will do a poor job of defending democracy from the aggressions of the Communists and other totalitarian, if in the process we adopt as our own the methods of our enemies."
"The wiretap, the rubber hose, and the third degree are standard equipment of 'the officer with the 'prosecution complex' whose zeal for convictions exceeds his respect for rights." Sen. Morse said.
A Senate judiciary subcommittee has a number of wiretapping proposals pending—including Brownell's request that evidence obtained by wiretapping be admissible in national security cases in the Federal courts.
The House gave Mr. Brownell authority to use wiretaps—including those now on hand—in such cases involving espionage and similar offenses. But the House stipulated that he must get a federal court order to authorize wire-tapping in the future.
Summer Housing Blanks Available
Applications for housing during summer school are being accepted now by Mrs. Ruth Nash, secretary of housing.
Mrs. Nash said that there are plenty of vacancies now, but there will be a rush shortly before summer school opens.
Many students will be housed in private homes, but Battenfeld and Oread halls will be open for men, and Miller and Watkins halls will house women. The halls will be operated as dormitories rather than scholarship halls. Theta Phi Alpha sorority has also offered its house for summer occupancy. No meals will be served at any of the organized houses.
Applications can be made in the Housing office in 222 Strong.
U. S. restaurants serving breakfast outnumber those that don't nearly two to one, according to a survey by American Restaurant magazine.
