Artist turns anthropologist with help of KU instructor
By CAROL DeBONIS
Because of the encouragement and help of William Bass, associate professor of physical anthropology, an Omaha, Neb., art student is pursuing a long-time ambition.
After repeated discouragement, Peggy Grinvalsky is well on her way to a career combining her artistic abilities with the study of anthropology and archeology.
"It's like a Cinderella story," says the pert, brown-eyed brunette.
LAST YEAR, while she was a
student at Clark University in Dubuque, Iowa, Peggy began investigating the possibility of such a career combination. She sent inquiries to numerous anthropologists throughout the United States.
Replies were discouraging. Many felt there was no opportunity for such a career. None offered substantial help.
AT THE SUGGESTION of a member of Clark's sociology department Peggy wrote to Bass. She received a "fantastic" three-page letter. Correspondence between the two continued.
Knowing that she was interested in participating in a "dig," Bass invited Peggy to join his own group in Mobridge, S.D., last summer. She did and, in her own words, "it was great."
Bass was writing a field and laboratory manual on osteology, and he needed an illustrator. He saw Feggy's work and offered her the job.

"ALAS POOR YORICK!"
PEGGY CAME to Lawrence in late August and finished most of the illustrations before school started. A week before enrollment, she decided to transfer to KU when Bass offered her a job illustrating for the anthropology department.
Peggy Grinvalsky, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, sketches an Indian skull from an Aricara burial site in South Dakota. She does illustrations for the anthropology department.
Since that time, she has been busy on numerous projects. She has illustrated an article which will appear in "Science" magazine. Bass is hopeful that one of her illustrations will be used for the cover.
An article on buffalo bones illustrated by two of her drawings will be published by the Smithsonian Institution. She is also working on a publication concerning the Salina Indian burial grounds.
Peggy, who hopes to get her B.A. in anthropology and her M.S. in art, loves KU and says she thinks "Dr. Bass is an angel."
