Zoologists Makin
Models Of Animals
Found In Michigan
Models of six Michigan animals,
the timber wolf, bobcat, coyote, bad-
ger, woodchuck, and fox, are being
made in the University Museum of
Zoology by the sculpture-taxidermy
method, it was learned yesterday
from H. James Wood, museums pre-
parator.
First introduced by Dr. Carl Ake-
ley of the Field Museum in Chicago,
the method has been widely adopted
by museums because of the greater
accuracy and detail made. possible,
according to Mr. Wood, who is do-
ing the taxidermical work. Carle-
ton W. Angell, University artist, is
the sculptor.
Clay Model Made
Complete measurements of the
carcass are taken, and the leg bones,
pelvis, and skull are also used in
making up the armature, over which
the clay model is constructed, Mr.
Wood said yesterday. From the clay
model a plaster cast is made, and
from that in turn a papier-mache
cast is formed. When properly
pieced togethed, the final result is a
light, hollow manikin, ready to re-
ceive the skin, which has been pre-
pared and tanned in the usual way,
and is stretched over the manikin
and glued in place. This is in dis-
tinct contrast to the common meth-
od of "soft-filling," and makes for a
degree of detail that would not oth-
erwise be. possible, according to Mr.
Wood.
An example of this type of work
is the recently completed model of
the Australian race-horse, Phar Lap,
by James L. Clark, of the American
Museum in New York City.
Part of Series
The animals being modeled by Mr.
Wood and Mr. Angell will probably
be on exhibition in the Museums by
the middle of winter as a part of the
synoptic series of Michigan mam-
mals, it was announced. Small ani-
mals in the series, with the exception
of the badger and woodchuck, will
be done by the old means of soft-
filling. Models of these two will be
done by sculpture-taxidermy because
of their extremely thick skins.
"The clay models of the animals
are not harmed in any way during
the process, and Mr. Angell is plan-
ning on adding additional clay and
finishing them, thus forming a sec-
ond series for the Museum," Mr.
Wood said.

Keep Off Politics, Is Edict

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 4.-
Making political footballs of issues
is an old practice but making a po-
litical issue of football is something
new. However, the fortunes of the
University of Indiana's football team
and of its other athletic aggregations
are seriously menaced by campus
politics are to be believed.
These protesting g r o u p s claim
there is great danger in the possi-
bility that candidates of rival fac-
tions will be members of the same
team.
Even the coaches have expressed
their willingness to prevent the
threat of politics in the realm of
sport while student opinion has
flared up with indignation at the
possibility of dissension.
