Don't Worry About Points, Says Scientist
Detroit, Mich. (ACP) — Housewives plagued by the need of devising varied menus in the face of rationing and everdwindling stocks on shelves of the corner grocery could simplify their tasks considerably by utilizing some items eaten by paleolithic man and would still be able to furnish their families with a balanced diet. So says Dr. George Lechler, instructor in anthropology at Wayne university. Whether the squeamish appetites of modern Americans could survive some of the dishes enjoyed by their primitive ancestors is, he admits, a somewhat debatable point.
Dr. Lechler claims it is quite possible to reconstruct the diet of ancient man by studying bones excavated in paleolithic dwelling-places and by examining eating habits of contemporary primitive peoples.
Such study, he contends, indicates that, while Neanderthal man was partial to bear meat, our more immediate ancestors 100,000 years ago had a more catholic taste and enjoyed mammoth, rhinoceros, bison, reindeer, and horse indiscriminately. And, to prove that they knew facts which modern research has only recently uncovered, he says, they ate not only the choice cuts but organs such as liver and kidneys as well. Furthermore, they drank the blood of the animals they killed and apparently devoured with relish the half-digested contents of reindeer stomachs. Primitive hunters in Siberia, Dr. Lechler observes, still eat this "reindeer spinach," which tests have shown to be exceptionally rich in vitamins.
Succulent leaves and cruciferae, an order of plants which includes cabbage, radish, and cress, must have been among the vegetable dishes favored by ancient man, Dr. Lechler believes, as were many bitter plants which were processed by putting them into pits and allowing them to ferment.
MALOTT--
(continued from page one) said in recent months that the first 48 hours of peace would be the most dangerous time in the history of Europe. We could elaborate this statement to say that the two or three years following the armistice will determine whether or not the world peace is a reality we can establish, or the idealist's vague and fantastic dream."
Chancellor Malott also cautioned against following the same path traveled by the United States after the first World War.
"In 1920 we faced restoration versus reconstruction. We had an opportunity to build a new world on the ruins of the old. It was a pioneer task worthy of our pioneer traditions. We chose normalcy; we yearned for a past which could never return. We deluded ourselves for a decade with a false prosperity wherein we loaned Europe to pay her debts to us. Instead of a healthy and vigorous plan for united action, the world fell back into her old mistrusts, the old alignments, and the old suspicions, resulting in a period of 20 years of spiritual doldrums in which moral and political action was confused and uncertain. We did not plan for an adequate peace."
The Chancellor paid tribute to University men who have been called to service, and summed up his feelings in regard to the past year.
"The senior year for the class of 1943 has been one of disorganization," he said. "It has been one of uncertainty of tenure and of future plans; of curtailed activities, and disruption in almost every phase of your lives. It has been an unhappy year for students and faculty—for each individual person in the University community.
"Yet it has been a glorious year in the annals of the University. By the very reason of the generous spirit of cooperation and willingness down to the last man and woman. Your classmates have gone willingly and on short notice, by the hundreds, either by enlistment or by the accelerated calling out of the enlisted reserves. To them we pay special tribute and honor in these

Governor Schoeppel declared that an acute awareness of the uncivilized menaces which now threaten the American ideal is important to the spiritual stimulation of American young people. The governor emphasized a belief that the traditions of democracy and the United States should be accented in the educational system.
"Never before has education been called upon for such high service," Governor Schoeppel said. "As a people we have come to take our American privileges far too lightly. We had, and even today there still are too many who still have, no vivid mental concept of how we should be individually affected if the Axis emblem of barbarism should supplant our democratic heritage.
"We do not know how long the present struggle to maintain these hard-won privileges will endure. But we do know that it is high time that the drama of our historical national record should be presented adequately and forcefully in our schools—woven warp and woof into the pattern of present day preparation for war in such manner that it shall become the integral part of our lives that it must be. Loyalty to the ideal of the American way becomes a demand upon every citizen when it is remembered that the spirit of American college men and women is the spirit that is helping America and her allies to win this war."
Never in history, the governor pointed out, has the University, as now, epitomized the growth of American democracy. Today, at the end of 67 years, it stands stalwart and strong, a bulwark against ignorance, fear, and intolerance, even through the shadows of war lick against the stone of its walls, he said.
Chinese, Greek and Russia recently were added to the curriculum of Finch Junior college.
