This structure houses the Bird Navigation-Propagation Range. Inside these fences are seven tanks containing some 200 ducks of ten major varieties, and a few cross-breed types. This one-acre range is also the home of approximately 80 Need Cited For Study In Religion ncy.

PENNSYLVANIA Inhabitants With Birds Prof Puzzled, Popular Bike Taken Again The case of the mysterious dis appearance of a Raleigh bicycle belonging to Kelly Yeaton, asso ciate professor of theatre arts, was partially solved by the Campus Patrol yesterday. The bicycle, which disappeared from its usual parking place be side Schwab Auditorium, was found in the bushes behind Home Economics. Although the thief can now claim to be the owner of one front wheel and lire, a small generator, several tools, and a green bicycle seat cover, he cannot claim to be the first per son to steal Yeaton's bike. The Campus Patrol are puzzled as to the identification of the thief, but Yeaton is puzzled as to the extreme popularity of his bi cycle. The first time it was stolen he didn't own a car and the bike was his only source of transportation. The second time it was stolen, Yeaton could hardly walk because of an injured ankle. But this time Yeaton was not quite so unlucky since he can both walk and drive. Henry II of France in 1547 was the first to wear silk stockings.
