THE IiCHIGAN DAILY U Students Toured Europe's High Spots i Pre-War Days By PAT ;OUSER Mental images of a cruise to Europe and sight-seeing tours of the Continent were in the air, for both students and faculty members of the University were anticipating such trips for the following summer. That was in 1938. The Student's International Travel Association was at that time sponsoring trips abroad. Bicycle and motorcoach tours through England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy were making zealous appeal to American students. "Travel Industry Primed for Big Season; Visitors Are Attracted by Desires To See People, Places Mak- ing History" headlined the April 3, 1933 Daily. Advertisements of five tours, personally conducted by mem- bers of the University faculty, encour- aged liberal art and music students to see the Continent in from 41 to 64 days. Pre-War Europe Feature stories that Neville Cham- berlain was seeking the solution to English problems, that France, in a political turmoil, considered a "strike more important than a franchise," that Czechoslovakia was confronted with' 3,000,000 German soldiers, that" Mussolini was leading a cheering sec- tion of some 40-odd million Italians while fascist powers throttled Spain, that the totalitarian state of Russia had made more changes in 20 years than had any other country, that German rearmament was a new em- pire in the making-all these stimu- lated a desire in University students to get a first-hand review of histo- rical, political, and social changes in Europe. But the scene is different now. To be sure,, students are still making trips to Europe, but Uncle Sam is host of the "ocean liner" which carries them, to England and the Continent. rhe tours are still conducted but this ine by commanding officers instead of University professors. Gay Paris And the places-yes, they are :hangcd too. Paris, once gay, has uio bright lights. Back stage of the follics and the opera houses, baller- nas and prima donas wear furs and .oats over their costumes in order o keep warm. Bicycles are the vogue now, for gasoline is scarce. And French cuisine is cut to almost K- rations. Notre Dame, Louvre, Ver- aaille, Cain all stand in the minds of these GI "students," but the voy- age lacks the' excitement, enthusi- asm, and curiosity that'were preva- lent in 1938. German "P-Bell" One of the most interesting places visited by University students is Heidelberg University, where the stu- dents and faculties were said to have been "extremely cordial to Ameri- cans." The Schnitzelbank, Heidel- berg's P-Bell, where carved initials mark tables, chairs, and even remote corners of the ceiling, may now be a Yank hang-out, ringing with Am- erican voices. "Don't miss the Black Forest, the Valley of the Rhine," they said. Like before, the Germans are vishing they could eat those words. WAIT TWO YEARS: Chinese Girls Reach' U' After Arduous Trip from Far East SAVE! Allen Stresses Value of War1 Conservation By JEAN ENGSTROM The fear of losing our "American1 Way of Life" in this war has resulted' in the "production of twice as much goods and resources as ever before," and has shown that "a victorious nation can produce enough to spread the salvaged American Way of Life to Americans and help to spread it through the world," Prof. Shirley W. Allen of the forestry school said in an interview. i Because the United States still has problemsof natural resources, capi- tal, and labor, it must learn the les- son in conservation taught by this war, he added. Speculation on what might have happened if this country had not been making a conscious effort to conserve natural resources for the last 30 years leads to a realization of its importance. Had there been no attempt to regulate the pro- duction of petroleum, to grow for- ests, to conserve soil, to harness water, we might never have been able to win this war, Prof. Allen pointed out. The value of scrap salvage is one of the important lessons we have learned and must remember, he said. The re-use of any material made from natural resource materials "re- lieves the strain on actual natural resources and on human effort," Prof. Allen added. Few people realize, he said, that rationing, "A" cards, homes heated to only 68 degrees, salvaging of tin cans and paper all led to conserva- tion-"the kind of conservation that spells good management of natural resources." For instance, Prof. Allen pointed out, in the paper drive every 15 stacks of paper as high as a broom handle that are salvaged, make it pssible for a cord of pulp wood to be left growing in the forest. More than 7,000 log tons of tin cans from Michigan alone had been cleaned and used by detinning com- panies by January, 1945. Washte- naw County's contribution of 340 long tons would take the place of two shiploads of iron ore and more than half of another load, Prof. Allen said. The country which has natural resources available through conser- vation will be in a better position to win a war with smaller loss of life than will its poorer enemy, Prof. Allen added. Macbeth Is 'Found' On Scottish Moor It happened in English 60! The class had finished its assignment in "Othello, the Moor of Venice" and was now beginning "Macbeth". Prof. H. T. Price read a few lines aloud, and then asked one student to ex- plain what the heath was. The girl looked perplexed. "Heath?" she ask- ed. Then, suddenly the light broke; she beamed. "Oh, heath. Heath, that's the moor of Scotland!" Ann Arborites Voted Democratic-Once Things were not always the same in rock-ribbed Republican Ann Ar- bor. Research by Prof. Lewis G. Vander Velde, of the history department, proves that Washtenaw County vot- ers can and did change their minds on a national election-once. Washtenaw County left the fold of the Republicans once after the party's inception, in 1864. That's the year they picked to vote Demo- cratic, and against Lincoln. Bombs Blast Gap Near No. 10 Downing Street BRISTOL, April 21-(IP)-Prime Minister Winston Churchill disclosed today that German bombs had blast- ed a "Hideous gap" in the British Admiralty building-only a few hun- dred feet from famed No. 10 Down- ing Street-while he was looking on. Churchill did not give the date of the bombing. By PAT CAMERON Nine American Indians have at- tended the University as holders of the American Indian Scholarships created in 1932 in recognition of a land gift from five Indian tribes to the University. The gift was made in 1817 at the Fort Meigs Treaty between repre- sentatives of the Wyandottes, Sene- cas, Delawares, Shawnees, and Pot- tawottomies, and Lewis Cass, gover- can McArthur. The Indians granted six sections of land to be divided equally between St. Anne's Church at Detroit and the "college at De- troit". Indian Lands Sold The "college", chartered in 1817 as the * Catholepistemiad of Michigan, became the University of Michigan in 1821 and was moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. The land given by the Indi- nor of the territory, and Gen. Dun- ans was sold and the proceeds were used for general purposes. The creation of five American In- dian Scholarships to repay this first benefaction was approved by the Board of Regents in 1932. Must Be of Indian Blood The conditions for receiving one of the scholarships are to be of In- dian descent, complete the regular admission requirements, and be rec- ommended by the Office of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior. Nine students have met these conditions. One scholarship holder, Arthur L. Biggins,cJr., was graduated in 1942 with honors in political science and was a member of the varsity debat- ing team. He received Freshman, Sophomore and Senior Honors and was a member 'of Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Beta Kappa. Snow White lopper The season's favorite coat! Short... white.

The four Chinese girls, all gradu- ates of Chinese universities, took competitive examinations given by the Chinese government in 1942 and had been waiting for transportation in Chungking since that time. They were finally given permission to take a plane from Chungking over the- "Hump" to Calcutta in November, 1944. From Calcutta they traveled by train to Bombay where they waited until Jan. 29, 1945, when they were given passage on, a Navy transport vessel. They arrived in Los Angeles late in February. Even though the young ladies were anxiously waiting for transportation they were not idle. Miss Kwen Chen, 25, from Hang Chow worked for a branch of the American Em- bassy in Chungking. She was in charge of the translation of Americanj text-books that had been transferred to microfilm. Miss Shen Chen, 30, of Hang Chow graduated from Che Kiang University in 1938 and since then has been working for the Na- -ional Bureau of Industrial Research. The major part of her work was re- search in the attempt to refine gaso- line from Chinese Wood Oil. Miss Yu Chuen Wang, 26, of Peip- ing worked for an associatiQn of four government banks in Chungking. She will continue her schooling in the 'field of economics. Miss Ying Ying Hung, 27, of Peiping worked as an assistant in the Chinese National University and also taught chemistry.' --- U' I j V4V# MOT ER'S AY -- MAY13 She doesn't forget YOU -- Remember HER! ae 10 r WI p ? n e 0&e xT~o~2i We .specialize in That's why you'll GREETING CARDS. find finest quality and largest selection at . . .
