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 Students Given Scholarships Five scholarships, awarded by the National Association of Furni- ture Manufacturer, have been granted to University students in the School of Forestry and Con- servation. Stipends valued at $750 have been given to Norman C. Franz, Joseph W. Streidl, Roland Howell, Lee K. Morse, and Carl Forslund.

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, k and his wife Eleanor point out to Lt.

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 * *k * 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. Call Engineers To HeadJobs Engineering seniors are needed to fill positions on senior class zo3mmittees. Positions are open on the cap and gown, commencement an- nouncements, publicity, and spe- cial events committees according to Bill Upthegrove, '50E, president of the senior class of the Engineer- ing College. All interested students should turn in their names and commit- tee preferences to the section of- fice in West Engineering Bldg., Upthegrove said. The deadlne is Friday. NO! NO TUX for PAUL BUNY1 WEAR JEANS - Dec. 3 Tickets atf * * * 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," will speak on "What Next in China" at 4:15 p.m., Monday in Rackham Amphitheatre. Winfield, promotion secretary for the United Board for Chris- 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.
