Scholarship Applicants Chose France For Study
More than 25 per cent of the applicants for Fulbright scholarships want to study at French universities, Dr. J. A. Burzle, campus Fulbright advisor, said.
When the competition closed on Oct. 31, the final number of applications was 35. Nine students had turned in applications for France; six applied for England. Next was India with four: Austria and Norway each received three. The Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, and Luxembourg got two applications, and one student in each case applied for the Philippines, Italy, Turkey, and New Zealand.
The applications received will be processed in New York, Washington, and in the countries for which the students applied. The committees abroad consist of educational experts both from the foreign countries and from the United States. The decision about applicants is expected for Australia and New Zealand in January, 1951, as the first semester of the academic year 1951-52 will start in these countries in March 1951.
For the first time this year two Fulbright awards have been set aside for applicants in the student category from each state and one from each of the territories and the District of Columbia to assure the widest possible geographic and institutional representation.
Out of 500 national scholarships, the university received six scholarships last year: three to France, and one to England, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.
Former Student Finishes Training
James William Erhart, former student with the class of '51 and now a naval aviation cadet, recently completed his aircraft carrier qualifications aboard the U.S.S. Wright. He took off and landed an SNJ "Texan" trainer six consecutive times on the carrier to complete his qualifications.
Cadet Erhart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Erhart, 800 Ohio, was an engineering freshman in 1947 and enlisted in the navy soon after the spring semester was completed. He was first stationed at Pensacola, Fla., and was then sent to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he is now stationed.

Exhibition Shows History Of Horse
A new exhibition case displaying the geologic history of the horse has been installed on the basement floor of the Museum of Natural History.
B. W. Wilson, associate curator of vertebrate paleontology, said the new display is part of a program to improve all the exhibits in the museum. "We are making them more colorful and making the description on the cases more appealing to visitors. Museums throughout the country are working on the same program."
The display was prepared by Russell Camp, preparator of vertebrate paleontology.
Added to the renovated exhibit are three skulls and a series of eight teeth showing the evolution of the horse beginning in the tropical rainforests about 60 million years ago.
The display also shows the change of the feet. In the tropical rainforests the horse bore its weight on three toes until today it has one toe which is adapted for running.
The skulls are arranged on a spiral grade resembling a highway. Changes in the length of the crown of the teeth indicate that the horse has adapted itself to eating coarser food as the ages changed.
Dr. Wilson said such a display preserves the material from breakage by handling in class laboratories.

South Had Quake In 1811
A violent earthquake in the lower Mississippi valley today, such as struck this region back in 1811 and 1812, would be a great human catastrophe, notes the National Geographic Society. At the time no loss of life occurred because the area had not yet been settled.
BEAT OKLAHOMA
light are the famous keys of national honor societies. No. 9 is an important newcomer. It's the Bell System's new keyset for the direct dialing of Long Distance telephone calls. And, though not yet "national," it already has "chapters" in more than 900 cities and towns.
By pressing these keys, your operator can dial calls straight through to telephones in many distant places. Calls go through faster, more accurately.
Automatic dialing of Long Distance calls by operators, a development of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, is being extended steadily. This new method of putting through Long Distance calls is especially important right now, when the nation is counting on telephone service to help speed the job of defense.
