Audubon Society Sees University Reservation
Dr. Henry S. Fitch, assistant professor of zoology and resident naturalist, told the group about present investigations of native animals.
Sixty members of the Topeka Audubon society were recent visitors at the University of Kansas natural history reservation.
Dr. Fitch pointed out the activities carried on at the 500-acre tract, which is used to study native animals and grasses. The reservation is located about five miles north of Lawrence. He emphasized the economic importance of the animals studied and the fact that the studies are not only carried on to increase knowledge, but also to assist people in their work.
Of particular interest to the guests was the study of the cardinal which is being closely observed by the aid of portable blinds. Although halted for the season, the project is determining the habitat, feeding habits, and natural history of the red bird. This study is seeking to determine the winter population of this bird in this locality.

Miss Peterson To Speak At YWCA

Kay Conrad, College sophomore, will explain the national program of the Y.W.C.A. and its purpose. A general discussion by the cabinet members of both subjects will be led by Diana Sherwood, education senior.
The retreat, designed to furnish inspiration and instruction for the year's program, will begin with a breakfast at 8 a.m. in the Union cafeteria and close with a songfest at 11:30 a.m. at Henley house. The retreat will also include devotions, speeches, and discussions.
Dr. Fitch told the visitors about the marking and tagging of small animals. The specimens which are live-trapped are those living underground, in leaves and grass, and in rocks. By marking he is determining the movements and ages of many animals.
