History tells of expeditions journey- ing by foot into unknown regions, and of colonizing done by many forms of transportation, but a new page will be written when airp~lanes carry pioneers into the North to build gas stations 01n the airplane trail. It is believed that the future route, of airplane travel between America and Europe will be over the top of the world, and therefore the import- ance of these expeditions cannot be over-stressed. Five countries have representatives in the race for this military and comnmercial post: the (United States, France Norway, Italy, and Russia. In .addition, the United States has three expeditions seeking scientific data: one investigating Norse ruins in Labrador and Greenland; another trawling Greenland waters for marine life, and collecting data ashore; and. that of Prof. William H. Hobbs, to ex-1 plore Greenland, and to experiment 1with the chemnical, "ice-thermite," in destroying icebergs at their source and at sea. The "Age of Discovery" will never come to an end; when one part of the world has become thoroughly known, another crop of "explorers always! finds other regions to investigate. lcetown-on-the-Arctic may be the transfer point of the future. The national pie . campaign, en- couraging the use of this desert for three meals a day, is seen as an aid to Michigan fruit growers. How about the doctors throughout the entire country? CAMPUS OPINION j Anonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communi- eants will, however, be regarded as { confidential upon request. {r What would you do if a man sud- denly came up to you in the street pointed a finger right between your eyes and shouted at the very top of his lungs: "YOU!" This is what hap- pened to tiny little Titina Thiddle, the piquant, petite premiere danseuse of the "Dora Be Decent" company the other night. The man was a big surly looking foreigner, with meance in his voice. The street was dark and Ti- tina was all alone. It was one o'clock in the morning. V{ " s* a What did the poor girl do? What could she do? Well, she kept right on walking. You see she had a cold and had cotton in her ears, and her hat brim completely hid the gesture, she htad one of those trick hats which hide all vision. So she didn't know that the man was there at all. He was so chagrined at his loss of men- ace that he shambled away in the opposite direction, a broken man. How do we know this all happened, you ask? Well, we don't, except that Miss Thiddle told us about it after-; ward. You understandt she didn't see, or hear anything, but when she reach ed home that night she suddenly de- alized what had happened. She had turned and looked over her shoulder and saw the man shambling away, as fast as he could shamble. " f*" One of the rules of this office is that# any mention or use of the word "Tam- b~ourine," for instance,, constitutes one piece of publicity for that production. For instance, if we should write "Tambourine was a punk show, we saw it last night" and Insert it either before, during or after the presenta- tion of the play, we would be hand- ing out free publicity. It is because of this that we write this. Below follows a contribution which we found on our desk. It i funny (in moderation) so we run it. Regardless of the rule, we (d0 not so because of publicity.

The campus, dramatic organizations are gradually undermining one of the world's most sacred institutions. Last fall Mimnes presented "Engaged," the same "Engaged" that was recently revived. That was all right. But then'Masques has to cone out with that Williams Pulitzer Prize Play. (Incidentally, Masques are miss- ing the opportunity of a lifetime in not advertising "Why Marry" as a "startling reply to 'Engaged.' ") To make matters worse, Jessie Bonstelle 'is coming out with the other Wil- liams-home-life play, "Why Not," Iwhich I gather, from a reading of the Idrama in Burns Mantle's. splendid year-book (not an advertisement), is about two married couples, each jmember of which decides that he or she is in love with the her or him of the other couple, whereupon they all I(divorce and get married again.

'CADY, ,JR.} SN S 'TRUM INT' SO , TORTURE P ew committees appointed for in- vestigational purposes ever make anyj report that lends material benefit to an organization, but with the an- nouncenient yest erdlay that President Clarence Cook Little had named cer- tain students amid faculty mlembers to cooperate in considering the present examination, grading, and honor sys- temns, it was indicated that for once the traditional rule of "committee for committee's sake" has been violated. With aln opportunity to make dlefi- nite recommendations which will bet- ter thme existinmg systems, the committee has a real duty to perform. It is cer- tain that changes should he made,I that more advanced and np)-to-date. methods will eventually be adopted, but it remains to be seen 'whether our educational system is human enoughI and our students of sufficient generals mentality and culture to undergo suc-' (oe 1,4ully a change from the antiquat-1' ed inellods.of grading and conductinga examinations. It is questionable whether written! examinations, as they are given now, really disclose the student's worth. President Little, speaking of the writ- ; ton'i examination in his inaugural ad- dress, called it "another refined ill- utrunment of tortumre." "A written ex-1 almni ion," he went on to say, "is! usually the amount of informationl ANhich can, undler unnatural conditions t c'autsedI by nervousmness, be unloadled n legibile form by the student within t a limnite'd periodi of time." In thisI saatement, President Little showedI his di,'trust of the present system'sf value. S Tfhe President also gave his opinion I cA' time grading system inl the same! addlress, when he said, "The result is;t then numbered and handed in to be corrected by a group of men, central- c 7y located, whose chief' recomnenda-c tlion is familiarity with the -process (f grading on a mathematical scalei the written agony of tihe students1 whom they do not know."1 The evils of the present system aret voiced in thme President's statemnents,j3 and there is little doubt as to1 thme need for some newescheme.

And what a succulent Kish it was. Here are the high lights of the lecture as reported by The IDaily of March 12: "Uncle Sam is marked down in' Japan's books as a boor," said Dr.j Galen Fisher of New York City, noted1 Orientalist.. "The recent Immigration I Act was passedl without consulting Japan, thus breaking the gentlemen's agreement initiated ill 1907-08 lby President Roosevelt'. Only war could justify such a treatment of another nation."1 Thus does another self-appointed harmonizer surreptitiously approach the unsuspecting campus and give Svent to his platitudinous ,yodel.
