The exhibit, subtitled "Scenes from the Aransas Wildlife Refuge," features about 60 color photographs of animals from the Texas wetland and Gennrich, director of public education of the natural history museum.
"Whooping cranes are definitely the biggest attraction of the refuge and also of the 'South of Winter' exhibit," Gennrich said.
In addition to cranes, the exhibit features photos of several of the 400 other bird species habitating the refuge. Also, the exhibit displays pictures of land animals and reptiles such as alligators, turtles, wild pigs and prairie chickens.

The Aransas Wildlife Refuge is a wetland area on the Texas coast from Matagorda Island in the north to South Padre Island in the south.

Gennrich said the U.S. Government bought the original 47,000 acres of land in the area.

Wetlands are nurseries for oceanic animals that birds and land animals prey on, Gennrich said.

Eighty guests to hear TV, radio personality speak
By NOEL GERDES Staff writer
Charter Counseling Center of Lawrence, 3210 Mesa Way, opened Sept. 28. The center provides individual and family counseling with an emphasis on eating disorders and chemical dependency.
Television and radio personality Art Linkletter will be in Lawrence Oct. 27 to dedicate a new counseling center, a representative of Charter Hospital of Overland Park said yesterday.
Linkletter will speak to 80 invited guests, including Lawrence city and civic leaders, at an 11 a.m. luncheon in the Lawrence Charter center, said coordinator for Charter Hospital of Overland Park
An open house will follow from noon to 1 p.m.
During the open house, Linkletter will autograph photographs and hand out Charter teddy bears.
Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx said yesterday that he planned to give Linkletter a key to the city duri-
Linkletter, 75, has been crusading against drug abuse since his daughter died in 1969. Nineteen-
year-old Diane Linkletter fell six stories from the balcony of her apartment in Hollywood. She had been using LSD.
Davis said that Linkletter also would be in Overland Park on Oct. 26 to dedicate the hospital here and would be in Olathe the morning of Oct. 27 to dedicate the Charter Counseling Center of Olathe.
Pat Green, clinical director of the Lawrence Charter center, said the center was planning an intensive outpatient program for people addicted to alcohol and other drugs. Patients would attend sessions four evenings a week for six weeks, as an alternative to hospitalization.
The regional Charter centers are part of Charter Medical Corp., based in Macon, Ga. The corporation operates about 80 hospitals in the United States and Europe.
Linkletter was the star and writer of television shows "People Are Funny," "Life with Linkletter" and "Art Linkletter's House Party." He has written more than 15 books, including "Kids Say the Darned Things!"
Regents plan to discuss financing
The Kansas Board of Regents will hold its monthly meeting today in the Morrison Hall Board Room at Wichita State University. During the meeting, the Regents will discuss supplemental appropriations, fee releases, Margin of Excellence and selective admissions
KU is asking for an additional $485,414 to compensate for its enrollment growth this fall. That amount is 75 percent of the additional fees the University collected from the increase. The KU Medical Center will request a supplemental $117,338 because of a fee shortfall caused by an enrollment decline.
Both Margin of Excellence and selective admissions are on the Regents agenda. No formal action is expected be to taken on either issue. The Regents are expected to decide this fall whether they will ask the Legislature to consider restricting in-state admissions at some or all of the Regents schools.
The Reeves will also consider minor wording changes in their AIDS and alcohol policies.
