New Zoology

Museum Opens
The opening of a new Zoology
Museum which contains a variety of
specimens has been announced by
the zoology department.
Located in room 10 of the Funk-houser

Biological Sciences building,
the museum contains a set of skeletons of mammals illustrating numerous orders of animal life. Among
those represented are the gorilla
and the rare duckbill of Australia.
Also on display is the skeleton of
the noted racehorse and sire, Hanover.
First plans were made for the
museum in 1933 when, the designs
for the Biological Sciences Building
were made. A single room was set
aside on the ground floor. After
the building was completed, the
room was left empty because funds
were not available to furnish it.
During the war it was used in the
ASTP training program.
Two years ago the University authorized funds for the project and
the first unit was set up. The new
unit consists of cases, along three
walls. Each case has a filtering device, modern lighting, and circulating water in the aquarium tanks.
Some of the specimens, including
a set of mounted birds, were obtained from the Smithsonian Institute of Washington in exchange for
archaeological study materials from
Kentucky.

Graduate German Exam
Will Be Given In April
The graduate reading examination in German will be given at
2 p.m.. April 24, in room 302, Miller Hall.

President H. L. Donovan Tuesday
urged teachers in the Ashland area
to abandon their plans to reces:
school and march on Frankfort in
the hope of obtaining more state
aid.
rjr. Donovan, a past president of
the Kentucky Education Association,
said in a wire to the Ashland Educ?-ma- n
tion Association, "Such a move, in
my Judgment, will not win friends
for the schools. If there is anv
marching on the Capitol we had
better leave that to the parents oi
the children. We will find a solution to our difficult educational
problem only by attacking it in a
professional manner."

opportunity for a year of study
in Germany on a pe:
exchange basis is available to a University student with certain qualifications, it has been announced by
Mr. Bart N. Pea'.c, director of the
An

YMCA.

Under the plan, the UK student
would exchange p'.ices with a Ger- boy. Malte Neidhardt, son of a
Stuttgart physician, and v;ould live
in Dr. Neidhardt's home. The stu- dent would attend Stuttgart Institute of Technology, which, in addition to engineering, offers excellent training in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and good
training in geology, geography, biology, history of art, and German

can be obtained in the Kentuckian
office, next to the Post Office in

In previous years, 500 books were

to increased printing and engraving
costs, only the books subscribed to
before the Feb. 28th deadline will be
ordered.
Many people were disappointed
because 'they were unabls to buy a
1949 Kentuckian. The few that
were left at the beginning of the
year were tied up by 1949 senior orders. There are a few 1949 books
left, .which seniors failed to claim.
These can be obtained in the Kentuckian office for $5.
Some 1943 Kentuckians were sold
for $1, because there was a big surplus, due to a mistake in ordering.
The 1949 and 1950 Kentuckians are
$5, and there will be no surplus.
Work on the 1950 Kentuckian is
nearing completion, Charles Patrick,
editor, said. The last pictures will
be sent to the engraver this week.
The cover has been ordered from
the Kingsport Press and will be different from Kentuckian covers of
former years.
Two new appointments to the
