Institute Of Archaeological
Research To Continue
Eastern Excavations
Coins, figurines and other art ob-
jects found at Tel Umar, Iraq, by the
Institute of Archaeological Research
of the University of Michigan, will
help solve many mysteries of the an-
cient culture of Asia Minor, according
to Dr. Frank E. Robbins, secretary of
the Institute. The Institute, an or-
ganization of faculty members, for
years has carried on excavations in
the Near East and has studied the
findings which have been brought to
Ann Arbor.
Professor Leroy Waterman of the
Oriental Languages Department made
the first preliminary excavation at
Tel Umar in December, 1927, in con-
junction with the American School of
Oriental Research at Bagdad and the
Toledo Museum of Art.
In 1928-29 the University of Mich-
igan joined in the excavation. The
supporting organizations were the
same in 1929-30; in 1930-31 the To-
ledo Museum of Art and the Cleve-
land Museum of Art cooperated by
providing the financial support. The
next year, 1931-32, the Cleveland
Museum furnished all the support.
This year the financial support is
coming from an anonymous organ-
ization.
The site of excavation, today called
Tel Umar, is on the Tigris River close
to Bagdad. It is known to be the site
of the ancient Sumerian city of Ak-
shak which probably was called Opis
in the Babylonian period. When Hel-
lenistic culture covered the Eastern
Mediterranean area the place was
named Seleucia, and which centuries
later became part of the Parthian
Empire.
It has been ascertained that a large,
commercially important city once
flourished there. And although they
have been working for years, the sci-
entists do not believe that they have
yet located the political and commer-
cial center of the city.
The archaeological objects gar-
nered through the years are divided
between the National Museum in
Bagdad, the Toledo Museum of Art,
the Cleveland Museum of Art and
the University of Michigan. This
year's party is under the direction
of Prof. Clark Hopkins, associate pro-
fessor of Greek and Latin, who did
archaeological work at Dura-Euro-
Pos, Syria, when he was on the fac-
ulty at Yale.
Indiana Practices
On Michigan Plays
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 6.-
W)--Freshmen used Michigan plays
against two varsity Indiana Uni-
versity football elevens this after-
noon, and Coach "Bo" McMillin said
either of the two teams may get the
starting assignmentagainst Michi-
gan at Ann Arbor Saturday.
McMillin said this week's drill will
cover every phase of the game in an
effort to avoid a repetition of last
year's battle in which Indiana out-
gained the Wolverines but lost when
Matt Patanelli recovered a Hoosier
fumble behind the goal line.
Weather Postpones
I-M Speedhall Tilts
Due to wet grounds, the Intramural
department's fall speedball program
which was scheduled to get under-

poned until the weather' conditions

All yesterday's games have been
postponed indefinitely.

'S is And Brother'
Doing Well; Both
Appetites Growing
"Sis" *and "Brother," the twin
black-bear cubs who joined the Uni-
versity zoo in February, 1933, are do-
ing well--very well.
Less than three years ago the ani-
mals arrived at the Museums Build-
ing in two one-pound boxes. Last
Saturday Sis tipped the scales at
260 pounds; and Brother, while he
refused topget completely on the
1weighing platform, is probably able
to send the pointer up close to 400.
It seems that the zoologists aren't
the only ones who note unsual size
of the cubs, for under good weather
conditions Sis and Brother enjoy
parading back and forth for the
benefit of two to three hundred spec-
tators per day. On Sundays they us-
ually entertain twice that many.
And how did the twins grow to be
such husky youngsters? By eating
all their spinach and drinking all
their milk. They also took care to
keep the doctor away by including
apples in their diet.
Miss Crystal Thompson, Curator
of the Department of Visual Educa-
tion, reports that in the summer-
time the cubs were contented with no
less than four or five loaves of bread,
a gallon of milk, and a half-bushel
of apples each per day. Fortunately,
however, their hunger lapses in the
winter, and four or five slices of
bread in a quart of milk with a half-
dozen apples for desert will usually
satisfy them for the day.
Sis and Brother were but a few
weeks old when they were found alone
near Luther, Michiagn. Their moth-I
er had evidently been shot by some
hunter. Through the Michigan De-
partment of Conservation, the cubs
were sent to Ann Arbor.
City To Ask Lower
Electricity Charge
Alderman R. M. Burr will, present
a resolution to the Michigan Public
Utilities Commission requesting that
the Detroit Edison Co. reduce the
domestic rate for electrical current in
Ann Arbor, it was revealed yester-
day following a meeting of the city
council.
The rate requested will be four
cents per kilowatt hour for the first
50 kilowatt hours; two cents per kil-
owatt hour for the next 150; one
and one-half cents per kilowatt hour
for the next 200; and one cent per
kilowatt hour for all over 400; with
a minimum charge of one dollar per
month.
Financial Aid Asked
For Water Softener
Officials of the city water depart-
ment were in Detroit yesterday for
the purpose of conferring with PWA
officials for a possible federal grant
to help finance the construction of
the water softening plant.
City officials are confident that a
grant of $100,000 for unskilled labor
can be obtained. They had originally
requested $180,000, but federal au-
thorities have indicated that this
amount is too much.
The city expects to have funds to
finance the rest of the project from
the money received from increased
water rates.
