45 Years of Work, Still No Solution
Have you ever started out to do a job, found out that something else had to be done first, and get started on this secondary job never to return to your principal project? That is exactly what H. B. Hungerford, professor emeritus of entomology, has done for the past 45 years.
H. B. Hungerford
He started his work in the field of the biology and ecology of water bugs in about 1915. He had just started this project at Cornell University, where he was working for his Ph.D. degree, when he found that there were no keys published for the identification of water bugs.
He began to search for a method to use in identifying water bugs. In 1928 he went to Europe and took a pair of every type water bug he could find—both identified and
unidentified. This launched him on his secondary project, the taxonomy of water bugs on which he has spent his life working.
Prof. Hungerford was recently awarded the Joseph Leidy Memorial Award medal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia in the first presentation of this medal west of the Mississippi River. He was awarded the medal for his work on the taxonomy of the aquatic and semi-aquatic water bugs.
Prof. Hungerford said the work he has done during the past 45 years has simply been getting ready so that others can begin where he planned to start in 1915.
Prof. Hungerford taught for 30 years in the entomology department, 25 of which he was head of the department. He retired in 1956
He is also the author of about 200 papers.
But has his work stopped now that he has been awarded one of the highest awards in his field? By no means! Prof. Hungerford still goes each day to his office in 318 Snow Hall and tackles the problems of the aquatic and semi-aquatic water bugs.

Traffic Violations Lower This Year
KU parking violations this semester are running about 1,500 less than last year, according to Campus Police records.
Police Chief Joe Skillman gives his opinion of the reason for the reduction.
"I would like to think that the reduction in violations came about through a better educational process on the parking regulations and the reasons the regulations are necessary," Chief Skillman said. He continued:
"Also, the fact that everyone, both faculty and the students, who has qualified for parking space on the campus has been assigned a regular parking space has been a factor."
Chief Skillman also said that strict enforcement of traffic and parking regulations has contributed to the reduction.
Civil Service Exams Available
Students interested in taking Federal Civil Service entrance examinations should contact James W. Drury, associate professor of political science for application blanks.
Written tests for 60 different career fields will be given on the campus following application.

Mrs. Taylor will offer $125 in prize money for student book collections. The contest, open to any graduate or undergraduate student at KU, will begin shortly after the spring semester.
The Taylor Student Book Collection Contest will be sponsored by Elizabeth Taylor, Kansas City, Mo., for the third year at the University.
Book Contest Set for Spring
The collections will be judged on content and quality as they reflect the stated interests of the contestants. The size, value, age, and rarity of the collections will not be of primary importance.
The contest is handled through the University libraries, with Robert L. Quinsey, assistant director of libraries, in charge.
