MAN AND MICROSCOPE—Robert E. Beer, associate professor of entomology, has advised vacationing home owners to be on the lookout for ants, beetles, and silverfish.
Ants, Beetles, Silverfish Pox Vacationing Home Owners
Home owners planning to be away for awhile on a summer vacation trip should make a frontal attack on three insects—carpenter ants, carpet beetles and silverfish.
This is the advice of Robert E. Beer, associate professor of entomology at KU. This summer Dr. Beer is the entomology specialist at the University of Michigan Biological Station near Pellston, Mich.
Dr. Beer said the female carpenter ant is the troublemaker. It is twice as big as the half-inch male, which she kills after mating, and bores into wood.
"Persons living in wooded areas and occupying homes made of natural timbers should be especially on the lookout for the carpenter ant," Dr. Beer said.
Dr. Beer said that in summer many people get excited about carpet beetles.
"The one eight inch long dull black or mottled brown beetles are especially fond of unattended carpets, cashmere sweaters, bearskin rugs, stuffed mooseheads, or any other animal fibers," he said.
"Home owners gradually become aware of these critters when they return home from a vacation, turn on the vacuum cleaner, and suck half the carpet into the bag," Dr. Beer said.
Silverfish are three-quarters o an inch long, each with three long tail-like filaments. Dr. Beer said that the body, covered with specialized hairs which resemble fish scales, is quite flattened and the insect looks like it has been stepped on.
"The silverfish or fish moth, would walk many miles for library paste. In unattended houses they quickly eat book bindings and actually chew wallpaper right off the wall," Dr. Beer said.
He suggests that DDT, sprayed in crevices and other areas, would hold in the attack against the little "monsters."
A 12-lane double-deck suspension bridge to be constructed over the Narrows in New York Bay will be the longest in the world when completed in 1964.

Graduates Total 38% Of Summer Enrollment
Graduate School enrollment in the University of Kansas summer session reached a new high of 1,258, or 38 per cent of the student body, Dean John H. Nelson reports. This represents a growth of 254 or 25.3 percent over the 1958 summer session.
universities, colleges and junior colleges enrolling more than three-fourths of the nation's students were able to find fewer than 10,000 new full-time, well trained faculty members.
The largest increase in graduate study came in education, up 31 per cent to 674. Gains in other departments averaged 16 per cent.
Bull-Fighting Scenes Captured by Knudson
The trend is "most encouraging," Dean Nelson said, "because graduate study creates almost the entire supply of new teachers for the colleges and universities and represents the principal means of improving the competence of teachers in the elementary and secondary schools."
Graduate enrollment for the current summer session approximates fall semester figures of just two years ago. However it is short of the record all-time high of 1,411 last fall and 1,341 of the spring semester.
Dean Nelson emphasized that the upward trend in graduate study should continue to be accelerated. One cannot disregard the demands of a growing science and technology, but let's look just at the needs of higher education. Last year those
"Los Toros...Spain's Exciting Tradition," a full-page picture feature by Jerry Knudson, former instructor of journalism at KU, appeared Sunday in the Topeka Daily Capital.
Knudson has been touring Europe this summer, and his letters have been appearing in the Summer Session Kansan. The last letters—from Switzerland and Italy—will be published Thursday.
