Napkins in Bean do more than clean faces;
students comment through 'Napkin Board'
By Deana Hamby
Managing Nows Editor
"I understand that other people like
Christmns carols but could you
please not play them so loud?"
This question is one of several
messages written on napkins and
posted on the Napkin Board a place
for students to express compli-
ments complaints or comments
about the Bean.
The Napkin Board located out-
side the Bean is a way to receive
students' input on areas of concern
in the cafeteria said Ed Jenkins
director of food services.
Jenkins addressed as "Mr. Ed"
on the napkins by students said one
or two new napkins appear on the
board each day.
After reading them he writes a
Scientists discover oldest known dinosaur
By Thomas H. Maugh II
Los Angolos Times (01993
i : 1 ft
Chicago scientists have discovered
the oldest known dinosaur a three-foot-tall
25-pound ancient ancestor
of Tyrannosaurus rex that walked
on two legs and lived on the flesh
of other species.
Discovered in the arid foothills of
the Andes in Argentina the new
species called Eoraptor or "dawn
stealer" lived 225 million years
ago.
It lacked nearly all of the special-
ized characteristics of later more
evolved dinosaurs but clearly was
one of the first of the breed.
"We arc just a couple of steps
away from the ancestor of all
dinosaurs" said paleontologist Paul
Scrcno of the University of Chica-
go who announced the discovery at
a Washington press conference
Tuesday. 'This fossil confirms our
suspicions that dinosaurs began as
small carnivorous bipedal ani-
mals." Because Eoraptor was not large
enough to hunt the plant-eating rep-
tiles of the period Scrcno said "It
would have been a crafty hunter
probably eating small animals and

response to each one and has a sec-
retary type them onto cards. The
cards arc then posted on the board
next to the napkin to which it is
responding.
When Jenkins received the stu-
dent's complaint about the loud
Christmas music the machine that
played the music coincidcntally was
stolen that night.
"So we answered 'You're in
luck' " he said.
Four to six hours arc spent main-
taining the board each week Jenk-
ins said.
The Napkin Board helps improve
students' images of the Bean he
said.
Jenkins' desire to make the Bean
pleasing to students is visible in his
responses on the Napkin Board.
One student missed being able to
snatching trie young of larger
species."
"This is definitely' an important
animal'' said paleontologist
Michael Brett-Wurman of the Smith-
sonian Institution's National Muse-
um of Natural History. "It forces us
to redefine the meat-eating dinosaur
group."
Researchers believe the first
dinosaur probably emerged about 5
million to 10 million years before
Eoraptor probably following a
major extinction that wiped out
many land-dwelling animals and
opened new environmental niches
the dinosaurs could fill.
They dominated the Earth until
about 65 million years ago when
they disappeared most likely as the
result of a comctary impact that
filled the atmosphere with light-
blocking smoke and dust.
The discovery of such a complex
dinosaur from that period suggests
that dinosaur evolution proceeded
rapidly.
Scrcno noted however that it
lacks the hinge-like jawbone that
allowed later carnivorous dinosaurs
to trap and hold struggling prey. It
also did not have the massive pelvic
bone typical of later dinosaurs.

Hi
heat muffins because the
microwaves had been removed
from the Bean.
Jenkins responded "Thanks for
your suggestion. Microwaves will
return by the spring semester."
Naturally several prank napkiiw
have appeared on the board during
the semester.
A napkin bearing Dan Quaylc's
signature contained the word "pota-
toe" throughout the message.
One napkin demanded "More
steak fingers!" while another nan
kin inquired "Arc you Mr. Ed as in
the horse guy?"
ilowcvcr Jenkins said he finds
these napkins amusing and said he
has received positive responses
from students about the board.
"It's their Bean. We want to be in
touch with them" he said.
The absence of these features sug-
gests that Eoraptor was present
before the three main branches of
the dinosaur family tree were wide-
ly separated.
But it did have the grasping
ihrcc-fingcrcd hands characteristic
of the thcropod family of dinosaur
which includes T. rex. Such hands
were designed to rake flesh from
the dinosaur's prey.
The skull of Eoraptor was found
in October 1991 by Argentinian
student Ricardo Martinez who way
participating in a expedition to the
Ischigualasto Valley led by Scrcno
and paleontologist Alfredo Monctta
of the National University of San
Juan.
Martinez was drawn by the glint
of teeth in the skull which wn
lying in a pile of rubble. t
The team subsequently recovered
all of the skeleton except for a few
bones at the end of the tail.
They could not be completely
sure of its identity until all of the
bones were carefully separated
from rock and thoroughly studied ft
process that took nearly a year.
A full description of Eoraptor
will be published in the British
journal Nature.
