Charges range on upwards, depend- ing on the type of accommodations and kind of tour selected. Those who first see Japan when the sky is cloudless may deem them- selves favored of the Gods. On ap- proaching Yokohama on such a day, the ocean is hazy azure, the sea is dotted with islands and sampans manned by little native fishermen. Rising above the scene, revealed in all her beauty, towers Fujiyama. Yo- kohama itself is the gateway to the Orient for the traveller from North America. Teeming with activity, it is a monument to Japanese progress with its broad boulevards and mag- nificent buildings. Tokyo Modern Capitol Tokyo, the capitol of the Empire, where Japanese life and civilization reach their zenith ,is only a fifty- minute train-ride from Yokohama. Vibrant with contrast, it is a modern capital which has lost none of its oriental charm. Modern buildings are evident, and nearby, surrounded by a centuries-old moat, is the Im- perial Palace of the Emperor, the heritage of the ages. Ueno Park, and the Imperial Museum, the Art Gal- lery, the Zoological Garden, the Asa- kusa Temple and the many shrines are on the "must see" list when vis- iting the capitol of the land of the Setting Sun., Only four hours from Tokyo, but a thousand years in time, is Nikko, a holy place since 766 A.D. The nearby river roars under its Sacred Red Lacquer Bridge, noted for its exquisite carving. Journeying on to Miyanoshita, one arrives at Yokohama's famed hill re- sort. Delightful excursions from this resort and many recreational facili- ties combine to make it one of the mon, pleasant districts in Japan. The favorite excursion is that to Lake Hakone. Once there you gaze across this charming lake, beyond the rug- ged mountains on the western side and view t ,he sacred Fujiyama. The glorious outline sweeps in one curve from seashore to sky as one surveys it from the Seven Views." The Land of the Morning Calm and The Hermit Kingdom are two designations for the land known to the Western World as Korea. In the present capitoi, Seoul tcalled Lotus ponds and the famous big bell. Half-a-day's journey from Seoul is Kongosan, the diamond mountain, on which are situated age-old monas- teries and temples. Visit Mukden Continuing the tour, you then pro-' ceed up the Korean Peninsula, through Antung on the Yalu River and thence to Mukden. Your in- terested in Mukden will be quickened when you realize that it is situated in the eventful and history-making land of Manchukuo or Manchuria. Turn- ing south-west, one passes through the Great Wall, through the interna- tional port of Tientsin to Peiping, the capitol of China which was formerly known as Peking. The first view of Peiping should be from the top of the outer grey wall, 50 feet high and 40 feet thick-a wall already old when Columbus dis- covered America. A great city breaks against it. Straight ahead there is another city of vast, yellow-roofed palaces that perk up at the corners. The inmost city has a pink wall around it and long, white marble bridges-the Forbidden City, now open to foreigners. Still a fourth city crowds up against the wall from the south, from whose strange blending of slums and palaces arises the triple-domed Temple of Heaven. It is constructed of blue tile and capped with gold. Shanghai, the Paris of the Orient, is reached either by rail via Nanking' or down the Yangtze River by steam- er, both routes offerin ga variety of attractions. Once in Shanghai, one finds as bizarre a city as any in the world. Its impressive, modern sky- line lies behind the swarms of highly colored junks and sampans. The Bird Market at the Old Walled City, the much-pained Lake Si-Wu and Hang- chow are only short distances from Shanghai and offer considerable en- joyment to. those who will only take the trouble to leave the fascinating foreign life in the city.

New Zeppelin Is Assigned To North Atlantic, Europe for your Spring Vacation - not just a possibility but soon to be a reality! Not that the Board of Regents has decided to lengthen the vacation per- iod, but Hamburg-Arrvrican and North German Lloyd, acting as agents for Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei Ge- sellschaft, have announced a zeppelin schedule across the North Atlantic on a 60-hour basis. The LZ-129, recently tested in Germany and now on its way to South America on a trial flight, will be put into service on a regular transatlantic passenger run between Frankfurt-am-Main and Lakehurst, N.J.. in time to make ten round trips between May and October this year. It has now been christened the "Von Hindenburg." Duration of the westbound voyage will be about three days, and for the eastbound voyage two and one-half days. Seville may be included as a port of call on the journey. Cost of the trip one way is $400 each for occupancy of a double room by two passengers, and $680 for sole occupancy of a double room. Round trip rates are $720 and $1224. The Lakehurst-Seville flight would be $40 less in each case. The "Graf Zeppelin," somewhat smaller than the "Von Hindenburg," has now been carrying on a regular fortnightly Europe-South America service for four years, between April 1 and December. The flying time from Frankfurt to Pernambuco is three days, from Frankfurt to Rio de Janeiro four days, with a complete Sugar Island Is 'C Said To Offer Great Beauty Observer Suggests Ways For Greater Usefulness To University (Continued from Page 3) fire loss was suffered in 1931 and 1933. This work in forestry, together with a survey made by some of the stu- dents of the landscape department under the guidance of Prof. Harlow 0. Whittemore, with an eye toward future development, and the work of Dr. Steere and Mr. Hermann, thus far constitute the only uses the Un- versity has made of the Osborn tract since it was presented in 1929. The Regents accepted the gift with the resolution "that this land shal for the present be used principally for research and instruction in the natural sciences and forestry," but the realization has now come thet the tract can be of wider service to the entire University. The land is ideally located for re- search, but is not being considered for summer instruction in most of the biological sciences because, chief- ly, of the lack of normal ecological associations mentioned before and because ample facilities already exist. The application of the land which suggests itself to this writer is that of a summer colony for faculty and ad- vanced students in any of the fields of arts and sciences where natural surroundings might present a favor- able background. It would be a fit- ting concomitant to the program of building a nucleus of young writers here in Ann Arbor through the Hop- wood prizes if the University pos- sessed a summer camp where a group of picked young writers could study under an inspiring teacher, under ideal conditions. Similarily, a colony for artists in other mediums might well be a distinguished addition to Michigan's Summer Session. As a retreat for faculty families, Sugar Island offers boating, swimming, fishing, perhaps in the future other sports-and most precious of all- isolation. Plans for the gradual expansion of the use of the Osborn Preserve as a center for summer investigative and instructoral work from the Uni- versity are now under way under the general direction of Prof. Louis A. Hopkins, director of the Summer Session. The adaption of the grounds to accomodate a summer camp as suggested above would re- round-trip flight every two weeks. Seville and Pernambuco are ports of call on the trip. The "Graf Zeppelin" at the end of 1935 had made 437 trips, including 104 ocean crossings and a voyage around the world, and had amassed a total mileage of more than 650,000 miles. There had in that time been carried "safely and promptly, with almost clock-like regularity, and re- gardless of weather conditions," ac- cording to officials, a total of 27,900 persons, over 5,500,00 pieces of mail, and 92 tons of cargo. A case of air-sickness has never occurred on the Graf Zeppelin since it was first put into service, its officers maintain. This, they ex- plain, is because zeppelin airships are free from rolling, pitching, and other "unpleasant motion."
