Scattered over the campus in laboratories, animal houses, borns and in classrooms, are approximately 25,000 mammals and 18,000 fish, birds, amphibians ond reptiles. In addition, the university has millions of insects all under control. The zoo may expand greatly within a few hours with contributions of many litters of guinea pigs, mice and rats. It also may shrink overnight with the extermination of a million member strain of Drosophilia (fruit flies). Many of the university's zoo resi dents are sacrificed for good causes. Many others, though, live out their lives in comfort. Picturod here are a few representatives from the university collection. V- F IGHING IN.
