Alaskan Tour
Described By
Major Royce
Commander Of Selfridge
Field Relates Flight Of
Army AirCorps
The extensive development of air-
ways and air services in Alaska during
the recent years was stressed by Maj-
or Ralph Royce, commander of Sel-
fridge Field, in a lecture Monday
night at Natural Science Auditorium
on the Army Air Corps Alaskan Flight
which took place last summer.
There are over 70 landing fields in
the Alaskan territory, Major Royce
stated, and without the facilities they
supply, the progress of Alaska would
now be retarded 50 years. Major
Royce illustrated the importance of
airways in Alaska by describing one
rather small town, Cordova, in which
part of a nearby mountain had been
leveled into a flat surface sufficiently
wide to provide a landing field.
Major Royce was the director of
operations for the Alaskan Flight,
which covered 7,500 miles in its tour
from Washington, D. C., to Fair-
banks, Alaska. The purpose of the
flight was three-fold: to generate
good will between the United States,
and both Canada and Alaska, to test
recently developed equipment, and to
photograph large-areas of Alaska for
a geological survey map.
Ten planes, all of which were Mar-
tin bombers with retractable landing
gear, and 30 officers in the United
States Air Service mde up the flight.
Each plane was equipped with two
radio sets, and communications be-
tween planes w e r e maintained
throughout the trip.
The flight made an average speed
of 175 m.p.h., during its trip. In
Alaska approximately 22,000 square
miles of land were photographed, and
Major Royce estimates that the en-
tire cost of the photographic work
amounted to 100 times less than the
cost of making a similar survey on
the ground.
Radio Talk Is
Given On Sand
Dunes Of State
Michigan is not a desert. Never-
theless it has some of the finest ex-
amples of sand dune areas so far dis-
covered, Professor Irving D Scott
of the geology department disclosed
in his talk in the Michigan, My Mich-
igan Series at 2 p.m. yesterday over
WJR.
"The most prolific source of sand
dune formation," said Professor Scott,
"is the beaches, past and present, of
the Great Lakes, and of these, Lake.
Michigan is best known for the per-
fection and magnitude of the dunes
which skirt its shores."
Explaining the formation of these
dunes, Professor Scott said that dur-
ing storms the sand is thrown high
on the beach. After the storm abates,
the sand dries out and is moved in-
land by on-shore winds. On the
shores of our lakes is found a type
of grass that is known as dune grass
and has a faculty for withstanding
considerable burial by upward growth.
Inasmuch as the sand is rolled along
the ground to a large extent when
moved by the wind, he continued,
much of it is trapped by the stems
of the grass which takes hold just
out of reach of the waves. Thus,
there is built a sand ridge back from,
and parallel to, the shore which con-4
tinues to grow as long as sand iscbe-
ing added to the beach.
Professor Scott stated that these
sand dune areas were exceptionally
advantageous spots for summer, re-
sorts. "The location along the shore
of the lake," he said, "insures cool
temperatures and clean air, for the
winds prevail off the lake." He fur-
ther added that the sand of these
dunes is exceptionally clean, having
been washed by the waves. This sand,
according to Professor Scott, has a
definite value for building purposes
and for making cores for casting.
Increase Is Noted
In Use Of Library
This last semester has seen a phe-
nomenal, and for the most part, un-
explainable increase in the circula-
tion of the General Library, it was
revealed yesterday by Dr. William W.
Bishop, librarian of the University
and head of the department of library
science.
The increase has become more pro-
nounced toward the end of the semes-
ter, the daily circulation at present
amounting to well over twice that foi
a similar period in former years. In
the past the number of books given
out in a single day never amounted to
more than 1,200. This semester, how-
ever, this figure has been surpassed
on every Saturday in December and

jobs for them. Therefore, I think
the number of committees should be
materially reduced.
NUMBER III
It seems to me that the government
of the League hasha tendency toward
over-organization.
In regard to the merit system, it
is my opinion that it is a bad thing,
since it tends to encourage women
to spend time doing work which is of
no possible benefit to them except in
the campus glory it gives them. The
women might, for the most part, be
better employed at their studies since,
after all, they are probably sent to
college for this purpose.
NUMBER IV
I feel that the new League system
is a good idea which has been too
highly organized, but perhaps this is
due more to the fact that this is it's
first year rather than poor manage-
ment. In a less organized form it
might prove more efficient.
NUMBER V
My only objection to the present
League system of organization is that
I feel that any such system, which is
represented as being based on merit
should be just that. I feel thatmpoli-
tics play almost as important a part
in the present systm as they did
before.
NUMBER VI
As for the merit system now being
used in the League, I approve of it
inasmuch as it eliminates attaining
offices through politics alone. It is
encouraging to do some of the lesser
jobs of the League when one has the
prospect of a higher office as a reward.
But the system has much room for
improvement, for example, doing
away with a lot of its unnecessary-I
system. The idea of merit and re-
ward is very fine, but the distribu-
tion is poorly regulated as yet.
NUMBER VI
I think the League system is inade-
quate in fulfilling its purpose. There
is bound to be sorority competition,
and the one sorority holding the ma-
jority of League positions will see that
it has a representative to fill the of-
fice the succeeding year.
Positions are to be selected by ap-
plication but unless an applicant has
approximately an equal number of
points as her competitors, her oppo-
sition will undoubtedly be overlooked.
NUMBER VIII
The League system based as it is
on merit and application rather than
campus vote is an improvement. How-
ever, the League fosters too many
useless offices. It is in my opinion44
