WAGE EIGHT Dug Up Coins May Help Solve s ia n Culture 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- way yesterday afternoon with six fra- ternities competing, has been post- poned until the weather' conditions are more favorable. All yesterday's games have been postponed indefinitely. ROUND TABLE ON POLITICS Profs. Ralph Aigler and Edgar Durfee of the Law School will con- duct a round table discussion of the coming election at the regular meet- ing of the Lawyers Liberal Club at 7:30 tonight in Room 116 of the Union. Professor Aigler will favor Governor Landon. THE MICHIGAN DAILY THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, OCT. '7, 1 '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. DAVIS G.
