at work as head of the
University zoology department and
dean of the graduate school, after
a four months' zoologv expedition
which extended throughout Mex

Several
thousand bugs and
snakes were added to the Dean's
aiready-famocollection upon his
return last week. His best specimens were obtained in Guatemala,
the highlands yielding the best
bugs and the lowlands alone the
coast, the best snakes.

Funkhouser spent his first
month south of the border with
Mexican government entomologists
and members of an American expedition in the mountains along the
Pacific coast, where he uncovered
excellent material in the dense
tropical jungles across the Isthmus
and around the Suchiate region.
The Aztec civilization of Mexictf.
particularly the ancient city of
Mitla near Oaxaco. and the Maya
civilization
of Guatemala, provided additional interest for the
archeologist zoologist
and his
party.
Peculiar travel difficulties were
encountered by Dr. Funkhouser on
this trip. AH boats are now In government use and are not available

The trouble with American colleges is that thsre are
too many crusading college editors."
That brought to mind a certain favorite paragraph which
I occasionally read over when the heft of the pen begins-tfeel mightier than the sword.
We have an increasing respect for undergraduate "publics. ions, callow as they are. They are the real liberal
j junals of the country because their editors are twenty-one- .'
an editor has the lovely tart quality of

the unripe. Socially he is conservative more conservative,
probably than he will ever be again; but editorially he is
a rainbow of radical thought, largely, 'we believe, because
of the sudden orgiastic pleasure of literary expression. He
has a distinctive literary style, instantly recognizable; a
kind of pedantic sarcasm.
The first flush of printer's ink is like wine: that is why
campus papers are so alive, and why they cause deans so
much acute distress, worse than cramps of the stomach."
To be sure, I am rather biased, but I don't think that
college editors are "the" matter with American colleges.
A college editor who says what he thinks and perhaps
doesn't think as those twenty years his elders do, can do
.something better than cause cramps of the stomach.
A little "radical" thought in youth is something of a
healthy sign. It is like leavening in bread, it makes the
whole loaf more palatable.
A certain amount of sincere liberal thought is definitely
necessary, and if it doesn't come from college editors from

The student activities committee at Olivet college was
curious about how the average college man spends his time
each week, so a couple of members got out pencil, paper,
graphs and allied paraphanalia and went to work.
The result: they found that he sleeps 56 hours a week,
studies 23 hours, eats 21 hours, attends classes IS hours, listens to the radio 8 hours, reads 6 hours, gives 4 hours to athletics, plays cards 31 j hours, dances 2'2 hours, writes letter V2 hour and spends the other 2 hours attending "bull

Is Air Power Superior
To Rifle - Carrying Infantry ?

By BOB WARTH
All through the present war the
tradition-boun- d
"brasshats", with
their shiny new battlewagons, have
absorbed such a terrific verbal beating from the aggressive disciples of
air power that even the hardiest
are now backpedaling with astonishing celerity.
However, the domain of the conservative military strategist has yet
to be invaded, for they stoutly maintain that massed infantry is the
backbone of military strength. The
developing test case is the projected
invasion
of the
European continent.
The airplane, now usually regarded as the revolutionary new weapon
of increased death and destruction,
may, in our opinion, actually prove
to be a humane instrument of warfare in the long run. Instead of the
bloody slaughter of millions in long,
in drawn out struggles of great land

Letters to
the Editor

Dear Editor:
I have a note from a lady
Brooklyn who has lound a University of Kentucky ring for the year
1933 with the initials "E. T.M." inside, and "A. B on the outside.
The party whc lost this ring can
get the address cf the finder from
my office.

It is certainly open to doubt that
ground must actually be occupied to
win a war. In the words of Britain's
Chief Air Marshall, A. T. Harris.
really heavy bombing of German
dustry "hasn't been tried yet." The
raid on Cologne is merely an indication of what can be done with a
really powerful and continuous air
offensive. Is it too revolutionary foi
the orthodox military mind to grasp
the fact that air power, and not
infantry, is the key to
victory? We hope not, for it may
mean the difference between life
and death for millions of soldiers in
this, and future, wars.
But, then, as somebody put in,
there are two kinds of minds: thi
normal mind and the military mind.

MILITARY

Signal Corps s Established
An anriouncemtrt from the military
revealed that a U. S. Signal Corps
uTjit. which would defer enrollees from the
draft while they completed their training,
has been organized at the University.
According to Firt Lieutenant Murray M.
Montgomery, who head? the University unit,
the signal corps will operate as a part of the
rniJiury department in much the same mauler as does the infantry.
"There are to be 200 ir.tr. from all parts
of the University in the basic course," Lt.
Montgomery stated. "The quota for the advanced course is 40."
To be eligible, for the basic course a student need only be interested in the signal
corps, although students, with electrical
background are preferred.
Advanced course men must have had two

years basic military in any branch of the
army, must pass certain required physical
examinations, and must possess qualities
necesary to an officer. Basic training may
have been obtained in either the signal corps
or the infantry.
Beys entering the advanced course as seniors will graduate in three quarters. These
seriors must either be transfers from a signal corps unit at another school, or be senior
tlectrical engineers. Graduating cadets next
March will attend a training camp for six
wetks prior to receiving their commissions.
Classes for the basics will meet three times
weekly : Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The advanced students, who will attend class
six days per week, will be. deferred until af- ter graduating.
