Lecture on gorillas
to benefit museum
A slide show and lecture on
the habits and behavior of
mountain gorillas in Africa will
be given Wednesday at the
University natural history mu
seum.
Proceeds from the event,
which begins at 7 p.m., will go
toward supporting the Universi
ty museum. The cost is $3 for
adults and $2 for senior citizens
and for children under 12.
The slide show, presented by
University graduate and anth
ropologist Stuart Perimeter, will
include some close-up pictures
of his "gorilla friends" that were
published in "National Geogra
phic" and "Stern," a German
magazine
The event is one in a series of
fund-raising activities for the
natural history museum. Some
$13,000, more than one-third of
its $34,000 goal, has already
been raised. This means that
the museum's doors will remain
open to the public after June 30.
Each dollar up to $15,000 con
tributed to the museum is being
matched by an anonymous
donor.
