MacMillan, renowned Arc- tic explorer and distinguished lectur- er, gave one of the most popular lec- tures on the Oratorical' program this year last night in Hill auditorium. , "Little Known of .Yorth" "Little is known of the Northern regions," said Mr. MacMillan, "ex: plo'rers go there to obtain informa- tion. I organized my expedition, fit- ted out a schooner, and made the jouri eey in the hope of being able to make some contribution or, at least, to fill some blank page in the story of this country". He pointed out that it was their purpose to find out something more about terrestrial magnetism and to attempt to discover why it is that the needle of the compass is grad- ually moving westward. He explain- ed that when their party was 150 miles from the pole that the compass refused to act and that they were forc- ed to make their journey further only with the aid of the stars and North- emlighs The speaker took his hearers on his entire trip with the aid of his I slides and cinema. Leaving Wiskas- set, Maine, in August, 1921, the sch1ooner Bowdoin with its load- of supplies, food, and crew, set out on its exploration trip that was to last 13 months. They sailed north by Nova Scotia and later arrived at Labra- dor. 'lis pictures clearly portrayed their every perience- Shp is Frozen In Chtting through the Polar "pan" ice with their ittle schooner, the explor- er made their way to Baffin Land and here made ready for the approach of the winter. Their ship was frozen in for 274 days and during that time their experiences were numerous. These were all vividly pictured in the7 lecture. Mr. MacMillan pointed out that the, Eskimos are always happy and smil- ing and that their religion consists in the belief that everything has i\ spirit, the stars, the moon, the su)i and all things. He said that, con-a trary to the belief that glaciers ar' sometimes retreating, they are always advancing. Mr. MacMillan mentioned the fad that many valleys in that country are Iilled with coal. Scenes of seal hunt-i ing polar bears, igloo building, dif- ferent types of Eskimos, icebergs, Es- kimo dogs, and walruses were shown on the screen Moving pictures show- ing the building of snow houses was especially interesting and presented glimpses of what has seldom been seen by Americans. Carried Radio With Jimn " An interesting fact concerning Mr. MacMillan's trip is that he carried a radio with him all the way and in this manner was able to keep in touch with the outside world even whert frozen in and hundreds of miles from the civilization of the World. Dolls were taken by the explorers and giv- en to the Eskimo children. The speak- er said that their joy was especially great on seeing, for the first time these American toys. The explorer paid an excellent trib- ute to the hardy Eskimo dogs when lie said that they are untiring and' that they will pull sledges over rough ice wth no complaint for six days and more without food when they know it can not be obtained. speaker on the Oratorical lecture pro? gram. Dr. Ditmars has chosen for the topic of his lecture, "Our Animal i Friends and Foes". Has Written Several Books At the present time Dr. Ditmars is # ._ONEY FROM GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES _._ _ ALLOTMENT OF FUNDS UNDER CONSIDER ATION TENTATIVE TIME known as one of the greatest natural- ists in the country. He has written several books on animal life and has done much in adding to the knowledge of animals, reptiles and fish that has already been gathered. In studying animals he has discovered their many peculiar traits and their reactions un- der certain circumstances. With the aid of motion pictures which he has taken much pains to secure, he is able to tell of the most peculiar kinds of beasts in an unusual manner. Five reels of motion pictures will be used to illustrate his lecture. One of these reels is unique in bringing together the four types of anthropoid apes which/ Darwin has' alleged are the nearest to man. Here are scenes of the only gorilr that ever lived long enough in cap- tivity to be fully studied with the mo- tion picture camera. There are also intimate scenes of the chipmanzee I organ-outang and the gibbon. Some of the animals are introduced to the wantsof civilization and even dine at "a table in strangely human fash-; ion. Include Animals of Many Types The pictures include animals of many types, ranging from the largest elephantsown to the smallest mon- keys, also species of snakes, lizards and other reptiles, a wide variety or insects and fish of all kinds. In re- gard to his picture, Andrew Carnegie once said, "They are the most wo lder- ful motion pictures of which I hav'j any knowledge".

Some- C body with a mathematical mind popped up in Baltimore and asked: "How much would that have amounted to if, instead of hav- ing been buried with the king I j 3,400 years ago, it had been put j out in safe 6 per cent bonds and I j compounded up to the present I day?"

PLAN FORMED BY UNION, ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS Includes Underclass Games, Cap Night Cane Day, May Festival and Two Sport Meets Grouping of Apring events into nine days, from May 11 to 19, inclusive, was favorably acted upon at the Student council meeting last night. This -is the first of what is expected to be annual occasion. While no name for the week has been decided upon, Spring week has already been suggest- ed. Many organizatlons are in fio'r of the project, including the Uni , the Athletic association, and the Stu- dent council..

Cane day will be changed to Sun- day, May 13, and plans are under ay for an All-campus convocation on that date also. Wilfred B. Shaw has suggested that class reunions may be held within , these dates instedt of during Commencement as heref- fore. -Such;a plan would relieve the congestion here during the gradua- tion week and would give the visiting alumni a chance to be here while the undergraduates are still preent. 'Com- bined exhibits will be arxra-ng d . for Monday. A regatta on the Huron ngay also be held on this day altjogh one' of the later, days has been sug- gested. , Exhibits Arranged The combined exhibits will contluiiu on Tueday and the Senior pl4y may be arranged for that date.
