The Museum of Natural History is richer by 1,500 specimens as the result of a six-week expedition to Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska by a K.U. team of eight, including five graduate students in zoology.
HOME FROM THE HUNT—Four members of the K.U. expedition to Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska, and a student employee of the Museum of Natural History, examine some of the L500 specimens collected on a recent six-week trip. The expedition was organized to provide training in field natural history for students and to obtain specimens for the museum's research collections. Shown, from left, are: J. Knox Jones, Jr., assistant curator of mammals of the museum and leader of the expedition; William C. Stanley of Wichita Falls, Tex., graduate student in zoology; Linda Browning of Lawrence, K.U. student employed at the museum; Robert R. Patterson, museum taxidermist and Jose Alvarez of Mexico City, graduate student in zoology.
Museum Richer by 1,500 Specimens
The primary purpose of the trip was to provide training for students in field natural history and in collecting and preparing specimens of vertebrate animals, according to the expedition's leader, J. Knox Jones, Jr., instructor of zoology and assistant curator of mammals.
A second purpose was to obtain needed specimens for the museum's research collections. The Black Hills, the High Plains of northwest South
British Text Uses Passages by Gunn
A passage from a book by James E. Gunn, administrative assistant to the Chancellor, has been selected to appear in a British textbook used by foreign students studying advanced English.
The selection is from "Station in Space," published by Bantam Books in 1958, and will appear in "Indirect Speech: Its Principals & Practices," to be published by Longmans, Green & Co. Limited of London.
The passage, from the story "The Cave of Night" which begins the book, is in the form of a radio message from an Air Force captain who has just entered a capsule in orbit after a frantic, worldwide effort to rescue an astronaut who could not get back to earth.

Aug. 14-20, and Fran Warren in "Flower Drum Song." Aug. 21-Sept. 3.
Starlight officials are selling $10 coupon books for $8. These can be traded for tickets to any show for any night.

Dakota, and several isolated mountains in central Montana provided excellent sources for these specimens.
The majority are mammals, although the group also includes birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. The largest specimens obtained were several raccoons, two species of deer, and pronghorn antelope.
The K.U. team found several species in previously unknown areas. The group extended northward the known range of several species of bats, including the long-eared bat and the hairy-winged bat, and the known range of several species of rodents.
Sixteen olive-backed pocket mice and twenty meadow jumping mice, both rare, were obtained, as were several representatives of two comparatively rare species of shrews.
"The trip gave the students the opportunity to observe vertebrate animals first hand and experience in obtaining and preparing specimens," Jones said. "They can now go on
Another "first" for the group was the obtaining of a small-footed bat in North Dakota; this species had never before been taken in that state.
Fine cultured pearls—the genuine articles—run as high as $7,500 per necklace. A new simulated pearl, said to ape the finest cultured pearls, commands a price of only $10 per strand.
