"The public today is so much more acutely aware of an animal', place tn ti environment and how that anfmal doesn't have a bubble around 11,'' says Leo.

"The museum might keep people in the city one mo r e day as well as give them ideas for visiting other parts of 0regon-." Dirk Forbes, a museum advisor and PSU biology professor, believes the museum could be a "malor contr~bulionto the commun~ty."He sees two roler ior the ~nrt~tutnon - to educate the publ~cand to cnrouragc research.

The biology collection was started by iormer proiesror Gwrrgr Fjsler, whore principal interert was in f~sh. S~nceForbes came to PSU in 1964, he has made a canrciour effon to expand the diverrity of specimens and to collect species series, at least I5 members of each sex, to ~llurtrate indiv~duavl ariations.

Taylor, who bervcd ar paleontology research director at the Oregon Museum of Sctence and Industry ior several years, sees the Northwest Muscum of Natural Hlrtory as a foundation from which research expedittons can ortglnate. "The rnubeum would encourage students at both the secondary and college levels to do i ~ e l dstudy," thereby bullding the museum collection, he sad Taylor's own excavation experience began ~n h~ghschool, when two fossilized mammoths were found in Southwest Portland. He went on to gather "the largest collection ever assembled from the lohn Day fossil bed" ~n central Oregon. Much of this collection was donated to the Uncverstty of Washington because there wa5 no su~tablereposjtary in Oregon Taylor ieels a malor museum would help prevent such mater~alsa, nd those irom amateurs - who are respunsihle for "a lot of the real impunant Ilnds" -from leav~ngOregon.

"A lot of animal rights groups - they've made tremendous ~nroadsand produced great lcgirlation - but they have this real hands-011anitude.

At the same time, she can tell some shock~ngstorter about humans tamperingw ~ t hreal pups, but her patience w ~ t hthe average clttzen runs deep. "The iact that they care IS wonderful.

"But I think the most importantthlng I can do as a director is to get those talented, creative, mot~vatedfolks Into the staff, and then cap~talczeon their efforts so that we're all a team working together." Leo says he feels fortunate in coming to Ponlandwhere "all the division heads are (already) those kinds of folks," addtng, "We tend to see people who are dedicated and are here because they want to be here." Although the zoo has phased out hls fht lob - the current use of admtssions employees makes ticket takers unnecessary - Leo speculates with a chuckle and perhaps a touch of pride that "hopefully today we have a future zoo director out there on the grounds somewhere " A remake of his summer of '67, perhaps Three PSU faculty members are co-authors of a new mference work on Oregon's principal lakes and reservoirs.
