"'IVe seen you on TV,'" the small bey, about to liave his picture taken, said to Dr. Bertrand Schultx, director of the University State Museum. But, Dr. Schultz doesnt play the part of Captain Video in the edu cational -Great Plains Trilogy" produced by the University, and the influence of the State Museum in Morrill Hall is not limited to the area reached by television im pulses. During the last six years 6R9 city and parochial schools and 560 rural school groups from Nebraska and several adjoining stattes have visit ed the museum. One day this spring over 20 groups wsnt through the museum according to Natural ist Guide Newefl Joyner who is in charge of the Museum guide service. "The Museum has become a very important unit of the overall educa tional system of the state as well as the surrounding region," Dr. Schultz said, "Our exhibits are used as a classroom by University and secondary school groups. Schultz said that the Museum's exhibits are being revised and new displays are being constructed that are of an educational nature. Joyner said that the purpose of the exhibits is becoming more edu cational than purely recreational. It is our desire, he said, to make our facilities available to teachers when students are interested in some particular phase of study. The Museum is divided into eight tjnits, anthropology, botany-herb-vrium, entomology, geology, liealth sciences, invertebrate paleontology and zoology.

An attempt is made to make each tour an enjoyable, education al, experience, Joyner said, and there is no set, memorized lec tures that the guides use it is more of an informal discussion.
