Exxon donates fossils to museum
By Anita Meyer
Kansan staff writer
Exxon Corp. may have the environmental community raging over the recent oil spill off the Alaskan coastline, but some KU geology professors couldn't be happier with another action by the company.
Exxon recently gave the Museum of Invertebrate Paleontology a collection of 35,000 specimens of fossil fossilsinlids, single-cell organisms that lived from 200 to 300 million years ago.
The fossilinid fossils are preserved on slides.
Roger Kaesler, professor of geology and director of the museum, said he had been trying to obtain the collection for about four years.
"This is like winning the Orange Bowl," he said. "But unlike the Orange Bowl, this is here for all time. We've been singled out.
"Exon could have given the collection to anybody, but they've given us, over the years, other collections and liked what they saw. They wanted to make sure the collection be maintained and taken care of."
Kaesler said the specimens had been collected from around the world over a period of 25 years. He said that as he never were, found in western Texas.
"This gives Kansans a chance to see other specimens they might not be able to see in their area." he said.
Anthony Walton, chairman of the department of geology, said the collection should appeal to many.

"The greatest benefit will be to graduate students," he said. "It will be good to have comparatives. It will give them something to compare their specimens to and see if their identifications are correct."
Walton said he hoped interest would not be limited to graduate students.
"It's a place where scholars at all
levels can study to see how they evolved," he said. "You can use these fossils to determine the ages of rock and how particular organisms are related to each other."
Neither Walton nor Kaelser said he thought Exxon's connection with the oil spill would affect interest in the collection.
"People who will come to see this collection are not interested in the connection with the oil spill," Walton said. "They want to study the fossils. KU has had good connections with Exxon for a long time. Exxon is a big company. They have their geology department. They have their transportation department. They have many departments. People at Exxon we worked with are people of integrity," he said.
Regents program strikes business deal
By Jennifer Metz Kansan staff writer
Two plus two may equal a business degree for students at Johnson County Community College who enroll in a cooperative business education program involving the University of Kansas, Emporia State University and the community college
After completing an associate of arts degree at the community college, a student now may take two years of upper division business courses taught by Emporia State faculty at the community college.
The "22" program caterers to part-time students who cannot go to school full time, said Kimera Maxwell, director of university relations at Emporia State. She said the program also is designed to offer classes for people who have received an associate's degree at the community college and would like to further their education with a bachelor's degree in business.
A student who has received a bachelor's degree in business from Emporia State at the community college then can enter KU's master of business administration program
at the Regents Center if requirements are met, said Randy Attwood, spokesman for the center.
"It permits us to concentrate on graduate efforts in Johnson County," said John Tolfleson, dean of KU's School of Business.
The program shows cooperative efforts between KU, Emporia State and the community college in serving different portions of the market demand for business education, Tolefson said.
"The program demonstrates how universities are becoming more flexible in changing times." Maxwell
said.
Although Emporia State normally would not be authorized to offer courses in the Johnson County area, Emporia faculty obtained permission from the Board of Regents to teach at the community college.
This fall four business courses taught by Emporia faculty are available at the community college campus, Maxwell said. Emporia faculty who teach these courses will come to campus as a result although Maxwell said that the eventual goal was to have a few Emporia professors re-locate to Kansas City.
