Inside' this room is the largest collection of Greek and Roman artifacts and antiquities in the South, and one of the largest in the nation. One piece, a stone seal from Crete, dates back three to four thousand years before the coming of Christ. Sitting silently and dry in this Ole Miss museum is the oldest bathtub in the Western Hemisphere a terracotta bathtub in which some unknown Greek washed from himself the dust of the city of Olynthus in the 4th century B.

C. The collection contains large sculpture, small terracotta statues, pottery of many varieties, jewelry, lamps, glass and coins. One recent addition to the museum is a collection of Roman surgical instruments a hospital set believed to have come from Pompeii. According to Dr. Lucy Turnbull, assistant professor of Classical Ar-chaelogy, these items are extremely valuable as teaching aids.

She said, "In our collection is an actor's mask believed to have come from a theatre in Cicero's hometown. When a student can see such as this, Cicero becomes much more real to him." The bulk of the collection was brought to the University by the late Professor David M. Robinson, famed archaeologist who joined the Oe Miss faculty in 1948 and remained until his death in 1958. Dr. Robinson willed the sculpture to the University.

Forth percent of the rest of the collection went to Harvard, ten per cent to the American Numismatics Society of New York, and fifty per cent to Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. Robinson gave $75,000 worth to the University. Upon Mrs.

Robinson's death, an anonymous Ole Miss alumnus purchased the remainder of the collection for the University from the Robinson heirs and has been giving the items to the University over a period of years. Last Christmas, the museum received $17,000 worth of coins. Most of the collection now belongs to the University. The museum has proved to be a valuable asset to the entire State. High school and college groups from this area of the country, and scholars from all parts of the world have come to the Ole Miss campus to study the col lection.

selling policies on exactly the same basis as men. While a great many single (and presumably younger) women work in life insurance, but the same to ken so do many who are married. It comes as no surprise that a majority of women in life insur ance live in cities or suburbs; this simply reflects the fact that most life insurance offices are physically located in populated centers. Yet about 20 per cent of women life insurance workers have their homes in a rural setting, in eluding several thousand farm re sidents. As for working time, more than 85 per cent of women in life insurance put in a full-time workweek of at least 35 hours, the Census Bureau survey shows.

Over 10 per cent of the women work part-time. What does all this data mean for the career-minded girl or woman? That there are opportunities in life insurance for women of every age, married or single, whether they live in city or country. This includes women whose children have grown and who are anxious to resume a career deferred because of the responsibilities of raising a family. open to the public on a limited daily schedule, Visitors are always welcome.

Opportunity Aplenty For High School And College Graduates What's a career-minded girl to do if she hasn't quite hit upon he career she wants to pursue? Keep on looking, of course. But here's a hint: there is one busi ness life insurance that of fers a variety of opportunities for women, with career-sparking iobs that match almost every ed ucational background, from tne high school or business graduate, to the girl with a college degree. Life insurance companies look to women for help in almost the same proportion as men, judging bv a new comprehensive study of life insurance personnel, whicn the Bureau of the Census made with the sponsorship of the Insti tute of Life Insurance. The survey show that nearly half of all life insurance workers are women. Women of all ages work in life insurance, from teenagers with a high school diploma, to mature women, some of whom are past the age of 65.

Mostly, they work in life insurance offices, either in a company's main office (the home office), or in life insurance agencies, wmch are located in nun- dreds upon hundreds of communi ties, These agencies also serve as headquarters far several thousand women who have become dreamsYille that DENIM WAX LEATHER!
