RESEARCH PROJECT-A basic research project in insect taxanomy to advance and strengthen
scientific knowledge in the field of agriculture has started under the joint sponsorship of the Uni-
versity and the Dow Chamical Company.
Project director is Henry Townes, right, research associate and former associate professor of
entomology at North Carolina State College. Associated with Townes in the project is Robert R.
Dreisbach, left, Dow consultant and authority in the study area.
The University has provided laboratory space and general facilities for the project in the Mu-
seum of Zoology and Dow is providing necessary funds.I
Taxanomy is the classification of plants or animals according to a recognized system. It pro-
vides a reference frame for correlating biological facts and for making predictions much in the man-
ner that mathematics serves these purposes for the physical sciences.
"Too little is known about the myriads of insect species, either harmful, beneficial or suppos-
edly neutral, to deal with them as effectively as we should," Townes said. "While any kind of re-
search on insects would benefit from more effort, it is generally understood that insect taxanomy
is a field in which more rapid progress should be made."

HAGGLE WITH INDIANS:
TU' Astronomers Seek Site
For National Observatory
Locating a site for a National Astronomical Observatory has been
like the Dutch colonists' quest for land in Manhattan.
Directed by two University astronomers, Prof. Robert R. McMath,
director of the University's ,McMath-Hulbert Observatory, and Prof.
Leo Goldberg, chairman of the Department of Astronomy, the search
has extended to the top of Kitt Peak, Arizona, in Papago Indian
territory.
However, these Papago tribesmen were not willing as their
counterparts in Manhattan to settle for $24, or some such compensa-
tion for use of their reservatilon by the scientists.
According to reports of discussions at Papago council meetings,
many of the Indians were dubious about leasing their property
because they didn't know what an observatory was. Others hesitated

because they believed the earth is
flat an dthe mountain is of reli-
gious significance.
Hesitant tribe members were
soon calmed, the scientists relate,
when they were taken to view the
moon through a telescope and had
learned why astronomers believe
the earth is round. Only then did
they consent to rent the peak to
"the men with the long eyes."
Further studies to determine
how, satisfactory Kitt Peak would
be for an observatory are now in
progress with full tribal blessing.
The Indians are getting $50 an
acre rent for the ground occupied
by the investigators' campsite and
are given preference for all em-
ployment available on the survey-
ing project.
The need for this National Ob-
servatory is great, Prof. Goldberg
commented, because the problems
of astronomy required a wealth of
basic data of the highest possible
quality.

And His World Famous Orchestra
The "Duke" Is Applauded By His Fellow Musicians .
"THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER WORD THAN MUSIC -- tapestries, perhaps; a blending
of vivid colors-to describe what Duke Ellington writes. His musical moods induce a hypnotic effect
in the listener, transforming him into the party of the first part. The 'Duke's' fans follow him around
the world to hear him play some of his 2,000 compositions. Whatever he writes is inimitably
Ellington." -JACKIE GLEASON
"IT IS THE RARE ARTIST who has the imagination to continually meet the challenge of change.
Duke Ellington who predates swing has not only met this challenge but projects into the future."
