"Contrary to popular opinion
that dunes are found only in ex-
tremely dry or desert climates,
}great dune formalions are also
characteristic of humid climates;
especially along bodies of water,"
b was the statement of Prof. I. D.
?t Scott of the geology department,
m speaking of the dune forma-
tions of Michigan which he will1
examine during a leave of absence
ifor the next semester granted by
1! the Regents recently.
"Sand along the lakes dries and
'then blows inward from the shore,
away from the water. The most
distinctive dune formations along
the Great Lakes are found near
Lake Michigan, as far north 'as
Manistique. So far, very little sci-
a entific. research from a geological
Sustandpoint has been done with
dthese dunes. The Indiana forma-I
tions have been studied but they
.tell only a part of the story," Pro-,
fessor Scott explained.
Last summer on an expedition'
Professor Scott examined superfi-
cially the whole extent of the
dunes from Indiana to the Upper
Pensisula. He discovered that they
extend in rows about a mile wide
for as much as fifty miles at a
stretch. The dunes occur in great
horseshoe effects with the open
end facing the water, exactly op-
A British war pilot, Flight-Lieu-
tenant. DiArcy Greig, has attained
the highest speed ever recorded by
man in his supermarine Napier
plane at Calshot, Ergland. He
averaged 319 miles per hour in six
test flights. In one flight he reach-
ed a speed of almost 350 miles per
hour. " At left, above, the plane is

posite from the types whic o!cur
in the desert regions.
"The dunes of Michigan are very
complex," Professor Scott went on,
I "because smaller types have form-
ed on top of the larger ones, and
also because wave action along the
shore has partially destroyed the
typical outlines. A great deal of
examination will be required to
unravel and explain the forma-
tions."
In order to obtain a key to the
situation Professor Scott has stu-
died the dunes farther north. The
dunes in the north are spread far-
ther apart and these could be stu-
died individually. He discovered
that there were two distinct series, Round Table Club
one formed at the time of Lake I
Mippising, (one of the lakes formed To Hear Sharfman
during the glacial period) and an-
other series formed just previous "Public Ownership" will be the

But Haitang island, a spot of

afforded a haven where wearers of

though upsetting policies of pre-
