Anthropologist' Will Interpret NegroStudies Professor At Northwestern Will Discuss Findings Of LongInvestigation "The Negro in the New World" is the topic to be discussed by Melville J. Herskovits, chairman of the an- thropology department of Northwest- ern University, in a University lec- ture to be held Friday in the Rackham Amphitheatre. Professor Herskovits went to Lon- don on a« Guggenheim Fellowship and wrote a book entitled "The Eco- nomic Life of Primitive Peoples." He has made field trips to all the areas he describes in his works. Author of two volumes on the Da- homeans of West Africa, he has ex- tensively studied the Negroes of the West Indies, Dutch Guiana, West Africa, and the United States to dis- cover all the aspects of their back- ground and the conditions of their introduction into America. His studies include not only the biological and anthropmetrical as- pects of the Negro problem but the cultural and sociological as well ., Tapping Goes South Seeking A Busy Rest' Tell of taking a busman's holiday. T. Hawley Tapping, the general sec- retary of the Alumni Association who eats luncheon in Kalamazoo, and supper in Chicago and Sunday din- ner on the train half the weeks of his life, will leave tomorrow for his an- nual vacation-and in the course of the trip stop off at better than half a dozen Alumni Clubs scattered from Pittsburgh to West Palm Beach. When he gets to West Palm Beach, which is supposedly his vacation land, he goes in for a swim, eats a banana salad on the beach, and starts back to Ann Arbor-stopping off, of course, to see the Alumni Sailors at St. Petersburg, the naval architects at Newport News, the alumni politi- cos in Washington, and finally the old business men in Detroit, gradu- ates of '01 to '39.

James of the geography department declared in an interview yesterday. "We in the United States fail to realize that the word democracy-or dictatorship-cannot be applied to Latin America in the same sense that we know and understand it." Prof. James went on to say. Because we do not comprehend the peculiar situation existing in South America today, we are all the more ready to accept confused ac- counts of insidious Nazi penetrations in that region. he added. Before we can talk of Pan-Amer- ican solidarity, Prof. James empha- sized, we must not overlook the one essential fact that South America is united on one thing and one thing alone-political independence. With this exception, the various South American countries are violently jea- lous of each other and are looking BULLETIN WEDNESDAY, DCEMBER 4, 1940 VOL. LI. No. 56 Publication in the Daily Official Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University. Notices Student Tea: Presidet and Mrs. Ruthven will be at home to students this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock. Protection of University Property Against Theft: Whenever it becomes known that property has been stolen or is miss- ing, notice should be given with ut- most promptness at the Business Of- fice, Room 3, University Hall. This applies to articles 5wned by the in- stitution or owned privately. For the protection of property it is important that doors and windows be locked, inside doors as well as out- side doors, when rooms are to be left unoccupied even for a brief period. The building custodians cannot be responsible for conditions after the hours when they are on duty or when persons with keys to buildings unlock doors and leave them unlocked. It is desirable that department heads make a careful check two or three times a year of all keys to quarters under their charge, to make sure that keys have not been lost and are not in the hands of persons no longer re- quiring their use. It is strictly con- trary to University rules to have dup- licate keys made or to lend keys is- sued for personal use. A reward of $50 is offered to any person for ipformation that directly or indirectly leads to the apprehen- son of thieves on University prem- ises. Shirley W. Smith Notice: Attention of all concernea and particularly of those having of- fices in Haven Hall, or the Western out for their own individual rights primarily. Pan-American solidarity looks con-t ceivable to us today because South< America thinks she is being threat-I ened by an invasion of her shores. In view of this fact, the South Amer- ican countries have allowed their separate jealousies temporarily to recede into the background so as to prepare themselves for a united de- fense of their independence in case an invasion should materialize, Prof. James declared. In answer to a question concerning' the recent findings made by several reporters on a "Caribbean Snoop Cruise" (an article in Reader's Di- gest), Prof. James saw nothing "in- sidious" about the alleged Nazi pene- tration in Latin America. "Since South America cannot find a market for her products in the United States, naturally she must turn elsewhere," he stated. "Ger- many is merely making a bid for that market; and South America does not want to incur Germany's ill will because she must look out for her welfare as a nation." At present, however, Prof. James continued, Great Britain is supply- ing the market for South American goods. It seems probable that only with the defeat of England will South America turn to Germany and the barter system as a market for her produce, he concluded. portion of the Natural Science Build- ing is directed to the fact that park- ing of cars in the driveway between these two buildings is prohibited be- cause it is at all times inconvenient to other drivers and to pedestrians on the diagonal and other walks. If members of your family call for you, especially at noon when traffic both on wheels and on foot is heavy, it is especially urged that the car wait for you in the parking space adjacent to the north door of University Hall. Waiting in the driveway blocks traf- fic and involves confusion, incon- venience and danger just as much when a person is sitting in a car as when the car is parked empty.

McKay. Republican national commit- teeman, last week was revealed in a recent article appearing in the De- troit News. A Federal grand jury charged that McKay and a group of individuals had used tile mails to defraud in connection with a Grand Rapids waterworks project. The defendants are alleged to have caused an adver- tisement giving notice of the public sale of the waterworks bonds to be placed in the Grand Rapids Herald. A copy of the Herald was then sent through the mails to the University library, the indictment asserts. The article pointed out the Depart- ment of Justice had used this legal technicality for the first time in Louisiana when fraud convictions were obtained on the basis of an advertisement in a newspaper which had been mailed to the Louisiana State University library.
