Dinosaurs' Is
To ic of Speech
Giant Footprints Found 1
In Texas, Says Hussey
"Chickens may be the direct des-
cendants of the swamp-living dino-
saurs of prehistoric times, so enjoy
your Thanksgiving reptile," Prof. R.
C. Hussey of the Geology Depart-
ment said in his lecture last night
on "The Parade of the Dinosaurs."
"Footprints of these reptiles as
large as bathtubs were recently dis-
covered in a Texas region," Prof.
Hussey said.
He stated, "The brains of these
dinosaurs were probably no larger
than a clenched fist, but after all, in
those days they didn't have much to
think about.
"As some of the larger ones
weighed between 30 and 40 tons they
didn't do much walking, but spent
most of their time wading in the
swamps and eating, because with
such thin necks and large bodies it
was necessary for them to eat all the
time."
The lecture, which was under the
auspices of Phi Sigma Society, was
illustrated with a series of colored
slides.
