Smith Gives Talk On Indian Villages
Pawnee Indian villages during the 18th century were the subject of an illustrated lecture by Carlyle Smith, archeologist and assistant professor of design, at a meeting of the Snow zoology club Thursday. Dr. Smith, his wife, and seven students spent the past summer studying Indian villages in Nebraska and northern Kansas.
Colored slides were used to show the processes of uncovering the circular houses of the villages. Dr. Smith also told of the burial monuments built by the Pawnees and the bison skulls that were a part of their religious ceremony.

Dermestid Beetles Clean Museum Animal Skeletons
The dermestid beetle is a small insect which does a better job than zoooligists in cleaning the flesh from animal skeletons.
The dermestid system of cleaning skeletons was discovered more than 30 years ago at K.U. by the late Charles D. Bunker, then in charge of birds and mammals in the Museum of Natural History in Dyche hall.
The Museum still uses the beetles and the system has spread to other universities. The brownish-gray beetle feeds off the flesh of decaying animals and literally "picks them clean," if placed under the right conditions.
Dermestids are easy to find and they do not damage the bones of the animals. Before the use of the beetles, zoologists boiled and scraped
the skeletons, often damaging delicate bone structure.
Before Mr. Bunker discovered the usefulness of the beetles, they were regarded only as pests by museum personnel. Dix Teacheron, a student working on small bird skulls at the time of the discovery, attempted to isolate the skulls from the insects by placing the skulls in tightly closed cans.
When Mr. Bunker opened the cans he found the delicate bones of the skulls picked clean of all flesh, and yet completely undamaged by the bugs. Dermestid eggs had been laid in the cans before they were sealed. The cans had provided darkness, a condition favorable to the work of dermestids.
The room where the dermestids clean animal skeletons is kept at an even temperature and is in total darkness at all times. All feathers, hair, and skin is removed from the animals before they are placed in the dermestid room.

Major Norm Hays, Oklahoma A&M,'40 -Aviation Executive, U.S. Air Force!
A native of Grove, Oklahoma, Norman Hays graduated from Grove High School in 1935. The following year he entered Oklahoma A&M, where he majored in engineering; also took public speaking.
Active in national 4H Club work while in college, he helped organize its statewide activities, won a national 4H championship in Public Speaking. In 1940 he received his BS degree in engineering.
A month later he began navigator training as an Aviation Cadet. In 1941, he received his navigator's wings and a commission as Second Lieutenant . . . married his college sweetheart.
Sent to an RAF Navigation School in Canada, he graduated with the highest possible rating of Specialist. Norman served overseas for 18 months in the Aleutians, Italy and Saipan.
Accepting a regular commission after the war, he was assigned to development of navigation instruments; navigated the B-29 "Pacusan Dreamboat" on its famed Hawai-Cairo non-stop flight in 1946.
Typical of college graduates who have found their place in the U. S. Air Force, Major Hays is Chief, Navigation Section, at Headquarters in Washington . . . with a secure career . . . a promising future.
If you are single, between the ages of 20 and 26%, with at least two years of college, consider a flying career as an officer in the U. S. Air Force. You may be able to meet the high physical and moral requirements and be selected for training. If you do not complete Aviation Cadet training, you may return to civilian life or have opportunity to train for an important officer assignment in non-flying fields.
Air Force officer procurement teams are visiting many colleges and universities to explain about these career opportunities. Watch for their arrival or get full details at your nearest Air Force Base, local recruiting station, or by writing to the Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force, Attention: Aviation Cadet Branch, Washington 25.
