POLAR RESEARCH UNIT:
Name Zumberge To Head Geology Lab

Panhellenic Plans Re-evaluation

By HELENE SCHIFF
Prof. James H. Zumberge of the
geology department has been se-
lected to head the new Glacial
and Polar Research Laboratory
of the Institute of Science- and
Technology.
This project was set up primar-
ily to study the effects of past
and present glaciers in North
America, Prof. Zumberge explain-

one of the non-polar regions being
studied, has a 10,000 year-old his-
tory since the glaciers retreated.
It is believed that the Lake Su-
perior depression has been in
existance even longer.
Leads Expedition
Prof. Zumberge led an expedi-
tion to Antarctica in 1957 at which
time they set up Camp Michigan.
In 1959 they were forced to aban-
don it after three seasons' use
because it was buried under snow
and ice, he explained.
This October another expedition
will explore the south polar region
under the direction of Dr. Charles
Zwithenbank, Research Associate
of the University. It will operate
out of McMurdo Sound and use
motor sledges to study the glaciers.
This expedition will be composed
of three to five men.
The expeditions must take place
from October through February,
during the Antarctic summer
months. At this time temperatures
sometimes get as high as 20 de-
grees above zero, Prof. Zumberge
said.
In 1960 a universal treaty was
signed by the Soviet Union, the
United States and other nations
which declared the antarctic a
free and open territory. "Now this
vast area is one big laboratory
for anyone wishing to explore it
and it is the only place in the
world where no one needs a pass-
port," Prof. Zumberge noted.
Political Situation
The North Pole involves a com-

pletely different political situa-
tion, he said. The Arctic Ocean is
bounded on one side by, Russia
which recognizes its strategic as-
pects and on the other side by
Canada. Thus governmental in-
fluence and military requirements
have restricted research in this
area.
These research projects are
financially supported by the Na-
tional Science Foundation, he said.
At present the United States is
doing more research on antarctic
glaciers than any other country.
Other schools which have similar
research laboratories are Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Stanford and Ohio
State Universities.
fver since the plans of the In-
ternational Geophysical Year of
1957-58 were announced there has
been a growing interest in polar
regions, Prof. Zumberge noted.
However, even with this increased
support for research there still
is a need for scientists to explore
the polar regions, he said.
The Polar Research Laboratory
will publish reports on their re-
search as data is compiled, Zum-
berge said.
Last year Zumberge served as
chairman of the University Com-
mittee on Polar Research. This
committee called for additional
financial support of colleges and
universities, more polar "centers"
or "institutes," and an increase in
scientific manpower. They also
proposed an Association of Uni-
versities for Polar Research.

There are several programs
which Panhel will work on this
year. The Election Study Com-
mittee will have its report in by
Thanksgiving, studying the Pan-
hel Election procedures, and eval-
uating them.
Panhel is also sponsoring a
workshop October 10 for the
Executive Council and members-
at-large of all the sororities on
campus. This workshop will work
on the case study method.
Panhel Journal
A Panhel journal is another new
addition this year. Carole Feld-
man, '63, public relations chair-
man for Panhel, is working with
Junior Panhellenic members to
put out this journal five times
each semester.
"We plan to work towards re-
vamping the social calendar. We
are striving for a healthier bal-
ance in programs according to the
varied interests within the hous-
es," Miss Stillerman said.
"Serious consideration will also
be given to the value of the Big

is studying the antarctic ice cap
and the geologic history of the

Laboratory facilities are now
being set up at Willow Run, he
said. A cold room will be used to
preserve all specimens that are
brought back by the expeditions
so that they may be studied under
the proper conditions..
Glaciers originally appeared on
this continent during the Great
Ice Age, he noted. Lake Superior,

Upperclassmen May Apply
For Rhodes Scholarships

By MICHAEL HARRAH
A tabulation of census statistics
by the Washtenaw County Plan-
ning Commission classifies 3538
housing units in the campus area
as "sound," 424 as "deteriorating,"
and 85 as "dilapidated."
The commission defines deter-
iorating housing as needing more
repair than would be provided in
the course of regular maintain-
ance, which includes broken plas-
ter, rotted window frames, and
stairs.
It classifies as dilapidated hous-
ing that does not provide safe and
adequate shelter, with critical de-
fects that indicate continued ne-
glect and serious damage to the
structure.
Reveals Average
The survey also revealed that
housing units in the campus area
average 2.5 rooms per unit, with
non-white housing averaging 2.4
rooms per unit.
The number of persons per unit
averages 1.7 with non-white per-
sons averaging two persons per
unit.
Among the housing units, 406
averaged more than one person
per room.
No units in the campus area
were valued at less than $5000

October, 1962 are now available
from the Office of Junior and
Senior Counselors, 1223 Angell
Hall.
The application should be pick-
ed up immediately in order to get J
the necessary materials prepared.
The scholarships are good for
study at Oxford University in
England. The appointment is
made for two years with a third
year possible if the Scholar's rec-
ord at Oxford and, his plan of
study warrant such an award.
To be eligible for the scholar-
ship a candidate must be an un-
married male citizen of the United
States with at least five years
residence. He must fall within the
ages of 18 and 24 on Oct. 1.
Junior Standing
The candidate is also required
to have at least junior standing
at a recognized degree-granting
college or university in the Unit-
ed States. He must also receive of-
ficial endorsement from his col-
lege or university.
The value of a Rhodes Scholar-
ship is £750 a year which comes
to $2,100 in American currency.
This should be sufficient to en-
able the Scholar to meet his nec-
essary expenses for term-time, and

or more. The average valuationf
was $19,950. The average campus
rent for the 3113 rented units was
$84 per month as opposed to $92r
per month for the whole city of
Ann Arbor.
Deteriorating Units
Fifty-eight of the deteriorating
units are occupied by non-white, as
are 38 of the dilapidated units.
Of the 17,940 persons living in
the campus area, 1061 are non-
whites. The campus area in these
census figures was mostly ,the
area east of Division St., south of1
Oakland St., and North of the'
Huron River.
City Building Inspector Ralph
Lloyd indicated that any of thej
houses that are beyond repair will
be condemned and raised on mu-1
nicipal order if they are "nota
brought up to the code," which1
supposedly the dilapidated houses
cannot be.
