Women Dare
Stormy River
For Research
Seek Botanical Data
Become First Of Their Sex
To Make Perilous Trek
Down Colorado River

By CARL PETERSEN
Two University women stand out a
heroic pioneers and record-breakers
following their feat this summer i
traversing 666 miles of stormny Colo-
rado River.
Miss Elzada Clover of the botany
department and Mis Lois Jotter
Grad., her assistant, became the first
women ever to make the perilous jour-
ney when they accompanied a seven-
man-expedition led by Norman Nevr
ills, veteran Utah riverman, on the
journey from Green River, Utah, tc
Boulder Dam, Colo. for the purpose of
botanical study.
In a thrill-filled voyage which made
the front pages of newspapers all over
the country, the expedition was forced
to negotiate over 300 rapids and travel
down water which sometimes attained
s, speed f 30?miles an .dour.
Due to arrive at Lee's Ferry, Ariz.,
Jilly 4. to complete the first 30')-mile
leg of the trip, the expedition was not
sighted until July 7 after search by
4oa t uard planes and land parties.
Scoff At Danger
Safe in Lee's Ferry Miss Clover and
M iss'Jotter reached fr their powder
puffs and pooh-pooed ther dangers
they had run, belittling such nerve-
wracking experiences as:
Los ing a bat.
Spending a chilly night alone on the
rivr bank.
An overturned craft which shot one
of their number into the flood-stage
stream.
Guidltl X fr'l bOats ov" foaming
rapids which poundd against tower-
ing Mliffs.
Watching food supply dwindle to
virtually nothing while traveling
through an uninhabited wilderness.
Miss Jotter spent one cold night
alone on the banks of the river,
haemmxed in by precipitous cliffs.
hAfter 20 miles of calm sailing down
the Green diver, the craft were
caught in an eddy at the junction
with the mighty Colorado. Beached
after a terrific struggle against swift
currents and whirlpools, one empty
boat broke away. Leaving Miss Jotter
on shore the other adventurers rowed
after the wayward craft.
The boat was retrieved at night-
fall but the party spent the night
in groups of two, three and one-
Miss Jotter. '
Leaves Expedition
At Lee's Ferry, Eugene Atkinson,
Grad., another University member of
the expedition, left the group saying
that it had thus far accomplished its
purpose of botanical study. He left to
do research work in Texas.
With what was considered the most
treacherous leg of the journey behind
them, the expedition set out July 13
on the second leg of their trip from
Lee's Ferry through the Grand Can-
yon to Lake, Mead. After an 80-mile
trip which Nevills "would not recom-
mend for weak-hearted persons," the
party reached Lake Mead on July 18,
the two women again reaching for
powder puffs to cover bad sunburns
and voicing the inevitable feminine
query, "How do Ilook?"
The party left for Boulder Dam
July 22, a 247-mile jaunt, made with'-
out incident and arrived there Aug. 2.
Miss Clovier and Miss Jotter, again,
couldn't be kept from their powder
puffs and ordered a victory dinner
of rattlesnake steak to celebrate the
completion of their 43 days in the
lagged gorges of the Colorado. The
rattler, on which they dined was
caught by the expedition a few days
before and brought to Boulder City
to be cooked.
Miss Jotter said -she was going to
the California Institute of Technolgy
for a visit before returning to Michi-
gan and Miss Clover is at present on
her vacation in Canada, far from the
stormy Colorado and the jagged
gorges and rapids which she and Miss
Jotter traversed and on which they
had, in the words of Nevills, "borne up
eln."

Freshm~en Flaunt
Traditional Pots,
Customs Of Past
By STAN SWINTON
MICHIGAN: 1938
Johnny, lacking that circular grey.
atrocity known as a pot, walked
through the Engineering Arch. It
was a nice September day and mir-
aculously not raining. Ann Arbor
looked fine to him. He went over
to the benches to the right of the
Arch and sat down for a cigaret. In
a minute, when the good looking'
blond came over and sat down by
him, he stopped thinking about what
college life was going to be 'like and
started a conversation.
She was, it seemed, a senior but
her boy friend wasn't in town yet and
she was lonesome and yes, there
certainly wasn't any reason why they
shouldn't go down town for a' beer,
MICHIGAN: 1920.
Johnny, lacking that circular grey
atrocity known as a pot, walked
through the Engineering Arch. The
two big guys stepped in front of
him, looking tremendous, aggressive,
lethal.
Pot, Frosh!
"Where's your pot, frosh?" the un-
shorn one asked. His statement was
a masterpiece of inflection, the first
three words a query, the last freight-
ed with scorn.
"I haven't got one."
"I haven't got one, what?" the
other said, stepping forward omin-
ously.
"I haven't got one, sir," Johnny
said, scared, wishing he were back
in Three Corners High.
. ...The Oak Paddle
"Well, get one before we see you
again or . . . ." He raised the heavy,
oak paddle that had been dangling
from his right hand.
"Yes, sir. Right away, sir."
When they had gone away Johnny.
went over to the benches standing to
his right and sat down to recover
from the shock before he went over
to buy the pot.

As freshmen come into town they need some information on how to
get around campus. To aid them, the Daily is printing the accompanying
map with explanations of each building.
Starting in the Southwest Corner is the Michigan Union,,center of
activities for men, situated at the junction of State St. and S. University
Ave. It has a swimming pool, bowling alleys, barber shop, billiard room,
lounging room, restaurant service including a cafeteria, women's dining
room and main dining room, sleeping rooms and an assembly hall adapted
to use for banquets, meetings conventions, smokers, concerts and dances.
Behind the Union and not shown on the map are the Allen and Rumsey
Houses, dormitory units for men, which are under the management of the
Union. Morris Hall, headquarters for the Varsity Band and radio broad-
casting station is located directly north of the Union.
In the next block opposite Angell Hall is Newberry Hall in which are"
found the museum collections of classical archaeology. Included in this
building are such archaeological discoveries as are unearthed by expedi-
tions sent out from the University into Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria.
North of Newberry Hall on State St. are Helen Newberry and Betsy
Barbour Residences. These offer rooming and boarding accommodations
for undergraduate women of all classes. The Student Publications Building
is found directly behind Helen Newberry Residence. Here are situated the
offices of all student publications: the Daily, Gargoyle and 'Ensian. The
Daily offices include most of the upper floor in addition to a composing
room and flat bed press for printing its own paper on the ground floor.
One block north of The Daily on Maynard St. is located the School of
Music. This building, which was annexed to the University in 1927, contains
its own auditorium and studios and practice rooms for piano, voice, violin
and all other musical instruments. -
