Bring Wrd Of Winter Trip
Across Greenland
Henge Bangsted and Prof. James
E. Church of the (University Green-
land expedition have returned safely
to Mt. Evans from their daring winter
trip over the Greenland ice-cap, ac-
cording to a series of radiograms
from Mt. Evans, dated March 17-20,
received her'e by 8AXZ, local R. 0.
T. C. short-wave station under the
direction of Lieut. Richard E. Schlos-
berg.
The first message received Satur-
day night read as follows: "Return
today after good trip. All well. Have
full report tomorrow. (Signed) Bang-
sted." This was the first word which
had been heard of the expedition since
they set out late in January to make
meteorological observations from the
ice-cap.
The local R. O. T. C. station was
kept busy from 8:30 until 10:30
o'clock on Sunday, Monday, and Tues-
day nights copying the report of the
expedition as it came through the air
from the Mt. Evans radio station, op-
erated by Paul C. Oscanyan, Jr., radio
operator for the expedition.
Message Received
The following message from Bang-
sted was copied here Sunday night.
"We have not obtained distance but
have obtained results. Our farthest
gave 4elevation of 2,000 feet. 'the
travelling was hard because no snow
on the ice, which snow survey will
show: Have daily weather records
for 50 days, morning, noon, and night.
Have had some very violent storms,
especially the 25-26 of February. We
have some very interesting evapora-
tion records showing that the ice-
cap is evaporating very rapidly. Low-
est temperature was minus 43 Fal-
renheit. (Signed) Bangsted."
Reports from Bangsted of the hu-
man element in the expedition came
through the ether Monday .night. The
following is, an excerpt: "Our expedi-
tion to inland ice started Jan. 15 in
teeth of a howling storm. Church
made his way to the first depot on
route ahead of the sledge, but I and
my eskimo wer forced back to camp
in order to repair sledge smashed on
ice in violent blow. Two days later
I made a fresh start. Our party con-
sisted of myself, Dr. J.' E. Church of
University of Nevada, my young es-
kimo helper, Marius, and our sledge
with 10 dogs. I
Road Lay Up Fjord .
"Our road lay up the frozen fjord
to the big glacier river system which
is named Watson river by the Hobbs
Greenland expedition. The route was
very bad sand, stones, and slippery ice
in river with little snow at certain
places. It was very hard work for
the poor dogs to pull the 500 pound
sledge load through. When we came
to frozen rapids we were stopped by
steep ice wall and big rocks. Only
way to get through was, to carry out-~
fit end sledge on our backs. We had 1
to carry more than 2,000 pounds this
way......
"On the ice-cap itself we struggled
in as far as was safe and were often
stopped by strong gales of wind. We
made our camp in a tent and for
safety in stormy weather we built
a big wall of snow blocks all around
the tent. Beyond that we had to pro-
tect the snow wall. This wasturned
toward prevailing winds with our
sledge which we tipped over on the
side. The primus lamp gave us heat
for cooking and we could use one
quart of kerosene a day. Blubber
from seals hunted in the fall was
burned in a small lamp made of a
developing tray. This lamp gave us
heat and good light. ,
"Our meals consisted of oatmeal for
breakfast, pemmican and bread or
foam cakes for lunch, and pemmican
for supper together with a cup of
hot black coffee and two lumps of
sugar. Ptarmigan and arctic hare
furnished fresh meat which all of us
enjoyed. We slept in deerskin bags
on fur rugs above a thick layer of
straw which we picked up on the way.
The dogs slept outside in all kinds
of weather without any protection

Will Rogers, noted cowboy humorist,

night, April 2, in Hill auditorium,
under the auspices of the Ann -Arbor
theater league, the organization which
s.ponsored his appearance here last
year, according to an announcement
made yesterday by Wilfred B. Shaw
of the Alumni association.

"FOR THE LOVE OF PETE" RECALLS
LIFE ON CRUISE, SAYS PROFESSOR
"I was delighted with Junior Girls'
Play, 'For the Love of Pete.' It re-
called vividly the efficient crew, thel
dignified faculty, the frolicsome stu-1
dents, and the much-scrubbed deck of1
the Ryndam on the pioneer float-
ing university," remarked Prof. W.f
Carl Rufus of the Astronomy depart-
ment in an interview yesterday after-
noon.
Professor Rufus, who was a member
of the faculty of last year's cruise,1
thought the performance very well
done. "The excellent dancing," he
said, "reminded me of two of our r
stars ab~oard, who danced by-royal in-1
vitation before the king and queen
of Siam. The pompous dignity of the
Median officials in the play quite ade-1
quately represents the majesty of the
Sultan of Lahej, who invited 30 of
our party to his palace with the spec-c
ial order that a number of beautiful
American girls be included. And the
sprightly guards of 'For the Love of1

Pete' might easily be mistaken for the
Sultan's army, the bodyguard of -the
Prince of Monaco, or, by substituting
kilties, for the superb Highlanders at
Edinburgh castle."
"We doff our hats to Barbara Crow-
ell's Captain Blake," continued Dr.
Rufus, "whose austerity reminds us
vaguely of Captain Lieuwen of the
S. S. Ryndam, Dutch, round, and jov-
ial. Once when a pleading 'co-ed'
placed her hand on our captain's
arm, lie straightened up and quiz-
zically remarked: 'Young lady, please
remove your hand-I can't think.' The
love scenes of the play aretexception-
ally well done, and quite excel those
on the floating university, to my
knowledge, although I can't admit an
extensive knowledge on that subject.
"Mrs. Rufus, an astute judge of fac-
ulty men," he went on, "admired each
one of the play's professors in turn,
although her eyes most closely fol-
lowed Professor Pettibone's coat-tails.
The policy 'to educate mercilessly'
abundantly justified the penalty im-
posed on the delinquent students,
whose attempt to mutiny was sadly
ineffective because they failed to se-
cure faculty permission!"E
Tickets for the remaining perform-
ances of the play this week, which
will be given tonight, tomorrow night,
and tomorrow afternoon at the Whit-
ney theater, are still available, ac-
cording to officials in charge, though
the advance sale for these perform-
ances has been the largest thus far.

proposition it was., determined yes-
terday that questionnaires should be
sent out to the members of the faculty
body for the puspose of collecting and
defining the issues. This action was
the only result of a special session
of the faculty called by President
Clarence Cook Little for further con-
sideration of the proposal.
President Little placed before the
faculty two misconstructions which
were liable to be placed on their re-
cent rejection of the Uniersity Col-
lege proposal by the Board of Re-
gents and the general public. The,
first of these he stated arose from the
wording of the resolution passed by
the body, declaring that the project

ern and historic interest and is value
at close to $100,000. Among th
models are reproductions of the fan

Thomas Jefferson, and Winan's Camel

terest are models of a Santa Fe freigh
engine, an articulated-mallet type lc
comotive with 16 drive wheels, an'd
modern passenger locomotive of th
5,200 class. All of these models ar
complete in every detail and are ac
tually working models. Along th
same line the New York Central line
have sent a model of the De Wit
