Senior Assembles Bones
By Ron Wilcox
KU students who think they can not find enough time for their studies may feel differently after they hear what a KU senior is doing in his spare time.
Terry Sutton, Junction City senior, is putting a human skeleton together for the anthropology department. He is a chemistry major and hopes to enter the KU medical school this summer.
"TVE BEEN WORKING on the skeleton since the first of the semester and hope to have it together by final exam week." Sutton said.
SUTTON HAS spent many hours figuring how the bones fit together. He said that fitting the ribs in the proper place was the most delicate part so far.
The skeleton is of an Indian woman found in Campbell County, South Dakota. It was excavated near the east bank of the Missouri River in 1957 by Dr. A. L. Bowers of the University of Idaho. He later submitted it to the anthropology department at KU.
Sutton said it is difficult to tell how the old skeleton is, but it is estimated to be at least 200-250 years old. The Indian woman was approximately 35-40 years old and between five feet one inch and five feet five inches tall, he said.
Presently he is working on the
Official Tours Guerrilla Area
SONG MAO, South Viet Nam — (UPI) — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara today toured South Viet Nam's south central Communist guerrilla-infested region and said afterwards that he found government communication facilities in the area were "inadequate or non-existent."
He said he was "very surprised" to find that more progress had been made in solving the communications problems in the rural areas and said he would "accelerate" U.S. efforts along these lines.
ALTHOUGH HE acknowledged there were "certain shortages" in the U.S. military aid program in South Viet Nam, McNamara said he was "very impressed" with the overall efforts being made under the program.
He said American military advisers with whom he talked were an "extraordinaryly able group of men." He said these advisers had shown "great knowledge of what is going on here."
Gen. Lyman L. Lemmitzer, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, who accompanied McNamara on the tour, said one of the "most urgent problems right now is the stepping up of the training of the (Vietnamese) self-defense corps (Militia) and the civil guard (National Guard)."
McNAMARA AND Lemnitzer were accompanied by Gen. Paul D. Harkins, chief of the U.S. Military Assistance Command in South Viet Nam, Nguyen Dinh Thuan, Vietnamese assistant secretary of state for national defense, and Gen. Nbuyen Khanh, assistant of the South Vietnamese general staff.

sternum (breastbone). Due to the decay of the cartilage this particular section of the body is made out of plastic.
ASKED WHY he undertook the project. Sutton said:
"The only remaining thing to do is to put the fingers of the hand together," he said. "This will be a job in itself."
"Since I'm going into medical school I thought it would be a good idea to know the bones of the body."
However, Sutton will be rewarded for his hard work. If he gets it together by the end of the semester he will receive credit for three hours of "A" in a course entitled "reading and research in anthropology."

TEL AVIV, Israel — (UPI) — Israel marked its Independence Day with the largest military parade held in its 14 years of existence.
C "COLUMBIA" MARCADS REG. PRINTED IN U.S.A.
About 500,000 persons, the greatest Independence Day crowd since the first in 1948, lined the streets of this city to watch the parade in cool weather.
There were many Americans among the foreign visitors, including singer Frank Sinatra.
President Izhak Ben-Zvi, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, Chief of Staff Zvi Tsur and other officials reviewed the 90-minute parade in light rain from a stand near the Yarken River.
All branches of the armed forces were represented in the review. Three helicopters carrying Israeli colors preceded the infantry spearhead of the parade. Then followed Sherman and Centurion tanks, troop carriers, half tracks and armored cars.
Despite light clouds, the air acrobatics program was fully staged. Sixteen Ouragan jet fighter bombers, 16 Meteors, 16 Mystere jet fighters and
12 Super Mystere fighters zoomed across the sky.
One of the most popular features of the parade was the march-past of women soldiers. Military service is compulsory in Israel for unmarried women up to the age of 27.
Independence Day celebrations began before dawn all over Israel with firework displays and street dancing.
