Natural History Museum Opened To Public at Eugene Eugene U.R The first mu seum on the West Coast to offer correlated displays from all fields of the natural sciences has been opened to the public in a reconstructed building on the University of Oregon campus here. The University, which has planned the collections for years under direction of Curator J. Arnold Shotwell, combined the artifacts from four smaller mu seums scattered around the campus and added many new displays to create its Museum of j Natural History. Illuminated Display Fields of anthropology, geol ogy and biology are included. One electrically illuminated dis play demonstrates the formation of 10 classes of volcanic rocks. Another shows changes in the I climate and life of eastern Ore gon for the past 50,000,000 years. Excavations along the Colum bia river by the University of Oregon and Yale University pro duced displays proving that hu man life existed in that part of Oregon at least 8000 years ago. Idea for the museum was first conceived 20 years ago. on its top, ending up about 200 feet off the road. Police said Mrs. Brooks was thrown from the bus and pinned beneath it. Bell said he tried to run into a ditch but that the speeding bus jumped over it. Police said the accident could have been much worse if he had tried to keep the runaway bus on the highway since the hill was fol lowed by a much steeper hill. The bus had left a farm just after 2 p.m. to return the young sters to their homes in Portland. In addition to Brooks and his son, four children were treated at Tualatin Community hospital here and nine children and one adult at Emanuel hospital in Portland.
