Dr. Foerster to Speak at Honors Assembly Apr. 18 Dr. Norman Foerster, director of the school of letters at the Univer sity of Iowa, will speak at the an nual university honors convocation at 10:15 Wednesday morning, April 13. Well known in the field of English, author and editor of many books, Dr. Foerster will use "The Humanitarian Illusion" as the title of his address for the occasion. Receiving his bachelor's degree from Harvard in 1910, Dr. Foerster took his master's degree from Wis consin university, and later his Litt. D. from the University of the South. He was instructor of Eng lish at Wisconsin, professor of English at the University of North Carolina, and since 1930 has been director of the school of letters and professor of English at the Univer sity of Iowa. Probably the first of its kind, this school of letters comprises the departments of classical languages, romance languages, German and English. Dr. Foerster's latest book is "Toward Standards" which he wrote and published in 1931. He has contributed to many journals, and is the editor of several im portant works. Latest among these Is "American Critical Essays" pub lished in 1930. Tho his accom plishments since are numerous, Dr. Foerster is proud of the fact that he was once a pupil of Willa Cather in a Pittsburgh high school. The honors convocation on April 18 will be the sixth of such annual recognitions of students for high scholarship on this cam pus. The high 10 percent from each college on the campus are given public recognition each year. Students receiving special prizes and awards are also named in recognition convocation.

Hill of the political science department were reiterated recent ly by D. Walter Williams, presi dent of the University of Missouri following a six months tour nf twenty-eight foreign countries. "Unless nations are able to muf fle munitions makers and to com promise their own differences," stated Professor Hill, "the present armaments race will continue con suming millions of dollars and menacing the peace of the world." According to Dr. Williams the greed of the munitions makers, coupled with the widespread press censorship is threatening world peace. However, he observed there is stronger international amtiy be tween the nations than a genera tion ago. The armament manufacturers of Great Britain and America, in the opinion of Dr. Williams, are plant ing war scares often In high diplo matic circles. This sentiment is echoed by Professor Hill saying, "Nations instinctively rise to the defense of cherished ideas but even when hesitant., manufacturers of munitions with powerful lobbies prod them along." Prof. Hill declared that if the present plan is carried out during the next five years the United States will have the largest peace time navy in history. Doctor Wil liams found all over Europe the foreign leaders from Berlin to the Vatican were asking, "what is the United States going to do."

Many Animal Types Are Seen by Manter On Southern Trip Many types of animals, ranging from one extreme to another, i" size, shape, and colors, were wit nessed first hand by Dr. H. W. Manter, university zoology profes sor, dunng his recent visit to the Galapagos islands. On these is lands, from which Darwin first de rived his ideas on the theory ol evolution, life is so unique and tre mendously interesting that zoolo gists from all parts of the earth go there to study and observe. These sixteen large, and num erous small islands are very moun tainous, are formed almost whulcly of lava, and ciaters by the thou sands cover the surface. Very littK rainfall is received on the lowet desert like plains but in the higher altitudes more moisture and vege tation is found. Worthy of Attention. Among many of the animals found here which are not found any place else in the world, altho they show relationship to some on the mainland, the reptiles most worthy of attention. "Several spe cies of gigantic land turtles, found in this group, become tremendous ly large, weighing as much as 450 pounds in many instances," Dr. Manter stated. "These animals, ex tinct in all other part of the world, were deemed by us to be of such interest that we brought back about 30 of them and placed them in the Santiago, Calif., zoo," Prof. Manter added. Just before setting sail for home the Hancock expedition secured one of these turtles just hatched which measured only 2 1-2 inches at the time. Now, after three months of a diet solely on lettuce the turtle has reached a size of about five inches in length. Strict ly vegetarians these animals thrive well in captivity and grow with great rapidity. Natives uses them for food and consider them some what of a delicacy. Two Kinds of Lizards. Two kinds of Ignanas or large lizards with long tails and posseas- insr scales also inhabit the place. The Marine Ignana occurs on most of the islands and lives on the rocks near the shore using as food the seaweed" which is there in abundance. The land Ignana is another ol .(Continued on Page 2.J,
