KU Student Collects Brazilian Specimens For History Museum
A piggy sloth, less than one-half the size of a cottontail rabbit, was one of the souvenirs collected by William Saul, Emporia senior, while vacationing in the back country of Brazil this summer.
Saul also returned with a beetle twice as large as any beetle which can be found in the United States; and a Woodhue, which is similar to a hummingbird but is longer and has a sickle-shaped bill.
ACCOMPANIED ON the trib by his parents, Dr. and Mrs. S. W. Saul of Emporia, and Dick Conard, sophomore at Emporia State Teachers' College. Saula obtained specimens of 72 birds, 89 fishes, 12 reptiles, 10
KU Alumnus Back to Teach
Richard Dyer MacCann, a Kansas University alumnus active in journalism and communications in Southern California, will be visiting professor of speech and drama at KU this year. He will teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in motion picture history and mass media and political thought.

mammals, one amphibian and numerous insects. These specimens will be added to the collection of tropical wildlife collection in KU's Natural History Museum.
The Sauls and Conard contacted E. Raymond Hall, director of the museum, last summer about bringing back some useful specimens for the museum.
Before boarding their plane Aug. 21 in Kansas City, the group attended a session here to learn how to prepare the specimens they would be collecting.
HALL SAID that the specimens collected will be highly useful for advanced teaching and research purposes as well as for additions to the museum's collections. All were skillfully prepared and of high quality, Hall added.
This was the second such trip for the Sauls to the area. The first was made four years ago. Saul's father, a radiologist, distributed medicine to missionaries on the trip.
The group covered 1,000 miles of back country before returning to Kansas City Sept. 15. While in Brazil, headquarters for the group was set up in Belen and excursions were made by Volkswagen bus. They usually stayed in small villages with missionaries while collecting specimens and distributing medicine.
Hall praised the group by saying, "It is only through the intelligent interest of such travelers that resources for advanced teaching and research are obtained."
