Tiey Ttinfc The f re Human
Lincoln's Antelope Park Zoo
Houses Mischievous Chimps v
JL
Chimpanzees can develop
bad habits just as well as
humans.
For a demonstration one
does not need to go any
further than Lincoln's Ante
lope Park Zoo, where the
biggest attraction is two Afri
can chimpanzees.
'Talented?' Chimp
"Bojo, the boy chimp, has
developed the habit of spitting
water at his admirers. And
he is very accurate.
"Some- people don't like it,
but the kids adore it and egg
him on," Jim Ager, superin
tendent of parks, cheerfully
explained.
Keeping this information in
mind, this reporter took a
vantage point about 12 feet
from the cage in order to
watch Bojo show off.
Bojo went inside for a mo
ment and then came running
out. Before the reporter real
ized what was happening he
was showered on the top of
his head by the well aimed
shot of Bojo.
The really big show is
staged by Tamba, the girl
chimpanzee. Once a day at
4 p.m., except Monday, she
is taken from her cage and
dressed in her best clothes.
Ladylike Chimpanzee
She drinks orange juice
from a bottle, using a straw
when sh feels like it. With
the best of manners, Tamba
is then ready for he? second
course of fresh fruit and vege
tables, carefully eaten with
the aid of a spoon. All this is
done while she is sitting at
a little table.
In scene two Tamba does
her tight rope act. She walks
the rope adrioitly and for her
grand finale she does it blindfolded.
Ager said that Bojo used
to do the act, but since he
got big and a little too rough,
they have given the job to
the six-year-old Tamba. Both
are very responsive to the
public and are really very
big show-offs.
Several hours can be spent
touring the zoo and the time
spent can be made more
meaningful by knowing a few
facts.
There is Porky the porcu
pine, who has an interesting
background as told by Ager.
Premature 'Baby'
Two game commissioners
in northeast Nebraska, where
porcupines are found, had
killed Porky's mother. Notic
ing that she was pregnant,
they had a Caesarean opera
tion performed. Porky was
then nursed by bottle and is
now a fat, healthy two-year-old.
The oldest member by age
and length of time at the zoo
is Gus. the alligator, who is
estimated by Ager to be over
50 years old.
Running a close second to
Gus is the Blue and Gold
Macaw, a large parrot-type
bird, who has been a resident
since 1928.
Planned in 1937
The idea of the zoo was
conceived in 1937 by Chester
A per. father of Jim Ager.
Chester became first superin
tendent of the park wtien it
was completed.
The main building is unique
as far as Ager knows.
It is believed by him to be
the only building in Lincoln
that Is built almost entirely
of native Nebraska stone,
quarried and cut south of
Lincoln.
"It was comDleted in 1938

Tamba, the Antelope Park zoo's lady champanzee,
tries to defeat the heat in a ladylike way. She may have
to wear a hat, but she's no chump, and the lady chimp
makes good use of her fan.

the WPA at that time, the
chances are that the zoo
would not have been
founded," Ager explained.
As one walks into the build
ing, he sees a large caged
pond centered in the build
ing. The air is filled with all
sorts of screeching and
chattering noises as the ani
mals seem to communicate
among themselves.
Pond With Waterfall
In the pond, which is fed
by a 10-foot waterfall, are
turtles, ducks and other birds
that live around water.
In one corner there is a
dead tree to give the birds a
place to perch. Two vines
twist their way to the ceiling.
On the north, south and
east sides are the cages that
house the majority of the ani
mals. Each cage has an open
ing to the outside, allowing
the animals to get fresh air in
the warmer months.
Before Lincoln had Antelope
Park, the city had a few
monkeys and birds that they
kept in a greenhouse north of
the present building.
150 Rare Pets
Now the inventory of the
zoo has grown considerably.
Ager estimates the number
of animals at 50 and birds at
100.
"I believe we have as good
a collection of birds and
monkeys as anywhere in the
country," Ager said.
IGrant Given
For Isolation
Of Cell Line
The Damon Runyon Me
morial Fund has awarded a
$9,200 grant to the University
of Nebraska for a project at
the University's Institute for
Cellular Growth, Walter Win
chell of New York, treasurer,
announced this week. The
grant was given through the
University of Nebraska Foundation.
The project, under the di
rection of Dr. Donald M
Pace, will involve an attempt
to establish a new strain of
non-malignant human cells
for the study of cancer.
Pace, head of the University
Institute and professor of
physiology, said there is a
shortage of no n-malignant
cell strains. "There are sev
eral well-known strains of
cells now being used by dif
f e r e n t investigators. How
ever, since most, if not all,
normal cells become malig
nant when cultivated in vitro
it becomes necessary to iso
late new non-malignant lines
from time to time to use
along with known malignant
strains."
University YR
Group Awarded
National Honor
The University of Nebras
ka Young Republicans club
has been selected as one of
the top six college Young Re
publicans clubs in the nation,
according to William A.
Steiger, chairman of the Na
tional College Service Com
mittee of Young Republicans.
The citation for the Univer
sity club praised it for "pro
viding the spark that set up a
state, colleee organization."
A membership of o v e r 200
was also mentioned as a rea
son for singling out the Uni
versity Young Republicans.
Jan Rhoda of York is presi
dent of the group.
Other Young Republican
clubs cited were at Harvard,
Stanford, Brigham Young
University, Washington State
and the College of Wooster.
For Summer Viewing: KUON-TV
"The baton of world leader
ship has been thrust into our
hands," according to Eric
Johnston, "and all should be
informed and interested in
events in the entire world."
Johnston, president of the
Motion Picture Association of
Amtrica and chairman of the
International Advisory Board,
is the subject of the first of
a series of interviews by
Arnold Michaelis to be shown
on KUON-TV.
The National Educational
Television series is composed
of conversations between
Michaelis and "men who
have known success in busi
ness and public service," ac
cording to KUON-TV.
