This, department workers say, is chiefly because the hopeful teachers have taken the wrong combination of subjects.

Museum Display Has New Fossil In Rare Specimen Two rare fossil specimens, show ing steps in the evolution of the horse, were recently unearthed in Nebraska, and one of them, found near Hay Springs by Theodore Gelusha, fossil collector, is now on display in Morrill hall. It is be lieved that only one other skeleton of this type has ever been discov ered. The Merychippus, a species of the lower Miocene period is, how ever, not as formidable as its name implies, for it stands but three feet in height It it believed that this three-toed horse, which lived in this region several million years ago, had an appearance similar to that of the deer. The Merychippus forms the third link in the series of changes that led to the development of the horse as it is today. The second link is represented by the skeleton of a Mesohippus of the Oligocene period. This speci men, discovered in the Bad Linda near Crawford, Neb., is somewhat smaller than the Merychippus.
