May Be A New Record, But It Sounds Pretty Fishy
A new scientific record may have been established here recently but Dr. Frank Cross, instructor of zoology, is having trouble making sure.
Dr. Cross recently had the head of a sheepshead fish brought to him with the explanation that the fish, which is a marine species, was caught in the Kaw river. He finds that there is only one other record of the fish being caught in fresh water and that was in the Red river in Oklahoma, considerably nearer the sea.
University Players Will Meet Today
The University Players will have an important meeting at 4 p.m. today in the Pine room of the Memorial Union, Leola Claussen, education senior and president of the players, said today.
There is only one drawback to proclaiming a new record. Dr. Cross cannot locate the man who is supposed to have caught the salt water fish.
A discussion of candidates for the April 8 election of officers also will be held.
Any member who cannot attend should contact Mrs. Leola Claussen at 2789L4 or Kay Peters, fine arts senior, at 781.
Prof. Allen Crafton will discuss a revision of the constitution, and the Kansas Theater forum which will be held at the University in May.
The new Veterans hospital in Kansas City, Mo., will be an affiliated hospital of the University of Kansas, Dr. Edward H. Hasinger, dean of the School of Medicine said today.
New Veterans Hospital To Affiliate With KU
Supervision of the professional staff, residents and undergraduate teaching will be under the faculty of the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
The head was originally taken to the Lawrence Journal-World and then to the Francis Sporting Goods store. The head changed hands several more times and was finally given to Dr. Cross. In the course of all this the man who first brought the head in was lost.
Dr. Cross said it seems "possible the story may be accurate" but the fact that the head was cut off the fish and that the man who caught it is not to be found makes it rather "suspicious."
In the course of trying to trace the missing fisherman Dr. Cross was shown a white sturgeon by a man he met fishing from the Kaw river and a frozen northern pike by Gib Francis, owner of the Francis Sporting Goods company.
The sturgeon caught in the Kaw river and the northern pike which Mr. Francis said he caught in the Wakarusa river a number of years ago are both records.

Dr. Cross said he at least has uncovered two new records if he never finds who caught the sheepshead, but he intends to keep on hunting the missing fisherman.
