P^= lfGETE THE MICH IGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1953 1 1 KISSING AND SIAMESE TWINS: Aquarium Features Unique Fish Ay JON SOBELOFF Who'd kiss a fish? A kissing gourami would. THE GOURAMI, a fish itself, isn't being affectionate when it carries on its underwater oscula- tion. It uses the peculiar "kissing" action of its mouth t6 eat algae. One of the "57 varieties" of fish sold by the University Aquarium, hungry gouramis sometimes seek algae on each others' mouths. They may get stuck together this way for as long as 15 or 20 minutes. Ranging from popular and rela- tively inexpensive angel fish, black mollies, guppies and zebra fish to a rare $65 dollar discus fish which is practically round and looks some- thing like a large angel fish, the Aquarium's stock contains items for fish lovers-novice or inveter- ate. The Aquarium is the unusual and thriving enterprise of Ed Shafter of the speech department and Mrs. Shafter and Frank Bou- wsma of the speech department and Mrs. Bouwsma. OTHER UNUSUAL fish featured at the aquarium are a knife fish which can swim backward or for- ward because of its peculiar fin and tail arrangement, a fish that jumps out of the water to deposit English Honor Plan Offers Intense Study Small classes, individual tutor- ing with a member of the English department faculty and an exten- sive study of English literature are offered to academically qualified students in the English Honors Program. The Honors Program consists of four lecture courses in English lit- erature from Chaucer to contem- porary writers and two seminars in criticism. In the second year of the program, the student is ex- pected to write a critical essay and take a comprehensive exam. The acceptance of approximate- ly 30 students a year into the pro- gram makes small classes pos- sible. English honors are awarded to the best of these at garduation: Last year, twelve out of nineteen graduates from the program re- ceived honor degrees. Sophomores interested in the program may consult Prof. Carlton F. Wells, concentration advisor, be- fore the end of the semester. Alumii Plan 'U' Reunion Ann Arbor mailmen, class offi- cers and the Alumni Association have been busy during the last few weeks making plans for the annual Reunion Weekend which will begin June 11. Graduates of classes from 1903 to 1948 returning to the Univer- sity, will be encouraged to enroll in the Alumni University, a tra- ditional feature of the alumni re- unions running from June 8 to 12. The purpose of the Alumni Uni- versity is to keep interested adults informed of recent trends in sci- ences and arts. Members of the University fa- culty will conduct a series of short courses designed to provide alum- ni with a basic knowledge and sti- mulus for further study in new fields. Some of the classes will be leasing fraternity houses for the Reunion Weekend. HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISTS: Students *. WillTour 'U TWriters Will Visit Campus For 26th MIPA Conference More than 1400 student journalists from 63 Michigan high schools are expected to invade the campus today for the 26th annual Michi- gan Interscholastic Press Association convention.

The jumping Copeina Arnoldi uses its tail every 30 sectnds, flips water onto the slate where its eggs are deposited as it swims by,sfeigning unconcern, to mis- lead other fish which it fears may eat the eggs before they ma- ture and drop into the water. The "siamese twins," guppies, have lived for three weeks and may be kept alive although one of the bottom-to-bottom attached pair invariably swims on the top get- ting much more food than his up- side-down twin. "FISH ARE interesting and nice for' kids because they teach the children responsibility," Mrs. Shaf- ter claims. For about $12, the beginning collector of tropical fish can buy a" two gallon tank, necessary ac- cessories and a small assortment of fish. A ten gallon tank with about five or six breeding pair, considered a more practical starting arrangement, costs about $20. The fish require a constant 75 to 80 degree temperature, and can be fed cooked unsalted potato, egg yolk, bits of meat, spinach or pab- lum, white worms, or prepared commercial foods. Also on display at the aquarium are alligators, turtles and aquar- ium supplies such as plants and snails. r____- - - ---- Michigan Christian Fellowship invites each of you to its SPRING PICNIC Saturday, May 9 Lake Huron State Park 2:30 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.
