ronmentalist and scholar Jane

The TSU Speaker Symposium
Committee has scheduled Ms.
Goodall to speak at 11 a.m. in the
Wisdom Gym. This is the same
committee that brought Henry
Cisneros to speak to the students

Goodall is famed for the scien-
tific study of the chimpanzees in
the wild. She began this study in
1960 in East Africa on the Gombe
Stream Game Reserve on the
shores of Lake Tanzania, |
In the course of her research,
she witnessed chimps make crude
tools for eating and drinking and
was the first to discover their de-
sire for meat, not just fruits and
vegetables.
Goodall married Baron Hugo
van Lawick in 1964. He was a
photographer sent to cover
Goodall's and the chimpanzees'
story. They became a husband
and wife team, studying the lives
of the wild chimps.

jects. Students have the choice of

covering topics that are
troublesome.
