SCIENTIFIC HONEYMOON:
Anthropologists End 20-Month Hunt

By DOLORES LASCHEVER
Two young scientists who spent
their honeymoon unearthing evi-
dence of ancient man in the Aleu-
tian Islands are expected to re-
turn to the University any day.
Theodore P. Bank, Jr., botanical
anthropolgist who was director of
the Michigan Aleutian Expedition,
and his wife Eleanor have just
enmnletedl a 20 month expedition
sponsored by the Office of Naval
icesearch
* * *
BANK IS NOW convinced that
the first humans did not come tc
North America via the Aleutian
Islands.
"Grayer heads than mine will
add up the evidence," the 26
year old scientist reported to the
Navy, "but I think our material,
when coupled with all that col-
lected earlier, will show pretty
conclusively that the Aleutians
never were man's stepping stones
from Asia to North America.
"Instead, it seems more likely
that the Asian migration came
across Bering Strait, drifted dow
the coast and part of it moved
eastward along the Aleutians."
r*
BANK'S ATTRACTIVE 21 year
old wife was more than a spectator
on the journey-she accompanied
the research group as acting eth-
nologist.
The couple taught school in
the tiny Aleut village of Atka
during the winter and spent the
summer doing their scientific
work.
Accompanying the expeditions
part of the time was Prof. Albert
C. Spaulding, of the anthropology
department, who is associate cura-
tor of archaeology in the Museum
of Archaeology.
ACCORDING TO Dr. Spaulding,
arrangements were made for his
archaeological work in the North
Pacific island chain before he went
up to complete it.
Bank said the purpose of the
expedition was threefold:
1) To make a substantial col-
lection of Aleutian plants which
had been neglected by American
science;
2) To learn all possible informa-
tion concerning Aleutian people
through thorough excavation at

and uses of plants and animals-
especially such resources as were
used for foods, medicines and poi-1
sons.
THE INFORMATION obtained
was to be made available to Naval
and military sources, Bank said,
adding:
"Archaeological materials will
be made available to the Univer-
sity of Michigan museum and to
the national museum."
By flying over the entire Aleu-
tian chain, Bank and his wife, ac-
companied by a Navy research
team, discovered at least 15 an-
cient village sites, detecting them,

from the air by the markedly dif-
ferent vegetation patterns and
colors.
Indicating that early man mov-
ed from the Alaska mainland to
the Aleutians, Bank said, is the
fact that ancient village sites now
being unearthed are buried much
deeper on the Eastern end of the
chain than on the western islands.
He explained this would indicate
they were covered by succeeding
villages before the western groups
were.

A MAJOR discovery of the ex-
pedition was an ancient wooden
mask typical of Southeastern Alas-
ka Indians but never reported be-
fore in the Aleutians. Bank un-
earthed it while exploring a cave

on Kagamil in the Island of Four
Mountains group.
"It at least shows some con-
nection between the Aleutians
and mainland people," Banks
pointed out, "but we'll have to
wait until we find more of them
to be positive of its place in his-
tory."
Banks became interested in the
potentialities of the Aleutian ex-
pedition when he served in thef
Aleutians as a Naval reservist dur-
ing the recent war.
Before their return to the Uni-
iersity, the Banks will deliver a
;eries of lectures at western edu-
cational institutions and then
make an official report to the Of-
fice of Naval Research in Wash-
ington, D.C.
Romeo and
Juliet' Set
To Play Here
T 11
"Romeo and Juliet" will be giv-
en its first campus performance in
more than 20 years when the Uni-
versity of Michigan Theatre Guild
presents the Shakespearian trag-
edy at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
in Pattengill Auditorium.
The principal roles will be played
by Eleanor Littlefield, '50, and Ed-
mund Johnston, 'Grad, who an-
nounced their engagement lift
month.
* * *
BECAUSE the play is being pre-
sented in its entirety, 23 scene
changes are necessary, according
to Mark Harris, '50, producer.
"We have decided to present
the drama in full length because
for most people the romance in
cut form seems absurd," Harris
said.
Ted Miller, '51, who designed the
sets explained that the scene
changes have been accomplished
by utilizing a semi-flat technique,
instead of attempting to complete-
ly surround the stage with various
settings.
"However, through careful light-
ing, none of the effect has been
lost," he declared.
MILLER, although he has had
no previous experience, had a
teacher' who grounded him thor-
oughly in the theatrical art.
"My grandmother, an artist
who went blind in her later life,
spent a great deal of time ex-
plaining the functions of art in
the theatre to me," he ex-
plained.
Miller, who was recruited from
the cast in which he plays Paris,
and James Harris, '50, are the
stage managers for the play.
THE PRODUCTION will be
highlighted by recorded music for
the Shakespearian prologues and
dances directed by Prof. Juana de
Laban of the physical education;
department.
Tickets for both performances
are on sale in the lobby of the Ad-
ministration Building.

Newspapers should welcome
outside criticism, Nathaniel
Howard, editor of the Cleveland
NTews, told a journalism audience
yesterday.
"Although some of it is unjust
a cessation of criticism would
nean only one of two things,"
Howard said, "either the public
has lost interest or, worse yet,
hey have stopped reading news-
papers altogether."
* * *
ACCORDING to Howard, two
things may incite attacks on the
press.
The first is its accessability.
"The newspaperis always in the
public eye, which makes it an
easy and vulnerable target," he
said.
"The other," Howard continued,
"is its size. The public has an
underlying fear of the mass-
produced printed word, which is
the dynamic power of a news-
paper."
THE RELIABILITY of a paper's
news facts is one of the first things
brought to question, Howard
stated.
"In this problem the time ele-
ment is always against a news-
man, because there has always
been a public appetite wanting
news as fast as it can be ob-
tained," he declared.
Many people claim that a news-
paper overemphasizes some ar-
ticles, underemphasizes or slants
others, Howard asserted.
* * *
"THESE persons, should remem-
NATHANIEL HOWARD
ber that editors, after all, are
only human. I have yet to find
two people who view one set of
facts with the same importance."'
Other criticisers say that
newspapers are too faithful a
servant of private enterprise,
Howard observed.
"While it can't be denied that
this argument is, necessarily true
to some extent, I have found that
in most circumstances the papers,
which are neither too hostile to
private business nor too subser-
vient, are the most successful," he
said.
criticism of Newspapers Worthwhile
States Howard of Cleveland News
THE POWER and control which
the press exercises over public
thought, is no great threat to any
individual's freedom, he pointed
out.
"The progress which the press
has made in the last 50 years has
been prodigious: It has become
more enlightened, more conscious
of its social responsibility and
should continue to do so," Howard
concluded, "as long as it does
not shy away from criticism.'
Winfield Will
Talk on China
Gerald F. Winfield, author of
"China, the Land and the people,"

China" at 4:15 p.m., Monday in

Winfield, promotion secretary

tian Colleges in China, recently re-
turned from that country after
making an agricultural survey as
a member of the ECA's Commis-
sion for Rural Rehabilitation.

The Correct Way
Children should be taught to
answer the telephone courteously
and intelligently. A course in
"telephone etiquette" for children
would consist of instructions on
how to speak plainly, to take a
message properly, and call anoth-
