PARAGRAPH REVIEWS OP THE WEEK THE WORLD OP FALSE FACES, by George Jean Nathan. Nathan needs no introduction to the read ing world. His “views on art and criticism, on theatre and drama, on men and women, on the world we live in and which we play” are written from a new point of view, and make delight ful reading. # * * HOWARD’S END, by E. M. For ster. The story is built about the married life of a typically successful business man and a woman of high ideals; the strug gle of the fine idealism of the woman against the crassness and selfishness which at times domi nates her husband. Forster’s style makes the story. ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI, by G. K. Chesterton. An appraisal of the greatest characters of history, one of the outstanding figures of the middle ages. Chesterton’s estimate is one of the ablest ever written. • * » THE ROVING CRITIC, by Carl Van Doren. The author is one of the foremost critics in the country today, and this latest book is an accurate reflection of his ability. “The measure of the creator,” says Van Dorn, “is the amount of life he puts into his work. The measure of the crit ic is the amount of life he finds there.” ONE ACT PLAYS, by Christopher Morley. Everyone has heard of Morley as an author of essays but few know that he is also some thing of a playwright. THE EVERLASTING STAIN, by Kelly Miller. Another story re vealing about the race problem. Miller, a new^ writer to many, throws new light on the race sit uation from a fresh point of view. * * * LEAVES PROM A RUSSIAN DIARY, by Pitrim Sorokin The fascinating account of the auth or’s wanderings, escapades and experiences under the Soviet reg ime. It is of real interest also because of - jlthe authenticity of the major portion of the narra tive, with regard to actual condi tions in Russia of late years. • * # r SHOUTS AND MURMURS, by Al exander Woollcott. Playwrights and players come into the lime light in this book', in which the writer relates his adventures among such well known per sonages as John Barrymore, Eu gene O’Neill, James M. Barrie, Prank Tinney and others. • • • THE ADDING MACHINE, by E. L. Rice. This play is regarded by most critics as typical of the so-called “new expressionism.” Romanticists might be J inclined to term it “sordid”—it does typ ify something new in the field of playwrighting. CHARACTERS FEATURE OF MOCKBEGGAR Meynell’s latest book, is a clever character study of a group of modern, moderatelv rich, English people. On the thresh old of aristocracy yet coming of middle-class antecedents, they com bine the manners and opinions of both. MOCKBEGGAR used as a title here means: “a< pretentious house where no hospitality is of fered and no charity is given. RACHEL MASSINGER and her in fluence upon the life of the circle forms the motivating interest. She is sought by all the types of men her acquaintance affords,—HUGH, WILSON, and VIVIAN, but with none can she find complete happi ness. Her nature is too many-sided to find its complement. Her mod ernity is astounding! Although the plot is meagre, one will find delight in the sincere carefulness of character portrayal. VIVIAN is the best of the six in spite of RACHEL’S constant pres ence. The change in ideas prior to the late war and in the post war days is shown with marked em phasis. Bits of satiric comment on our modern, social questions come in most unexpected parts of the book. The story is a trifle slow in de velopment but has a really whole some ending. Meynell has a most happy selection of names, some thing rare in this day of haste, and readers will not soon forget RACHEL, as, standing iin her room in Half-Moon street she ob serves, “Life is not empty, for al ways there will be love and chiv alry,—men who will brave death for the favor of beauty.” —M. C. A SYMPOSIUM The problem of sex, and the so called “ethics of sex” have come in for considerable comment with in the past few years. Many are aghast at the fact that the old ideas of morality seem to be going by the board. The freer relationships which exist between the sexes are looked upon askance by the elder generation as signs of certain de generacy in the modern standards of conduct. Each new book appear ing on the subject has borne the stamp of a single individual’s ooint of view. And now appears OUR CHANG ING MORALITY; a symposium of *CLASSIFIED ADS* <S> LOST—1 pair dark rimmed glas ses in a case from Moodys.

UNIVERSITY TAILOR on Alder near Eleventh the views of fifteen writers, critics, and social workers, as expressed in essays on the modern trend of mor ality. This book edited by Freda Kirchway, an associate editor on the NATION, represents a note worthy step in the direction of clearing the somewhat hazy atmos phere which surrounds the problem of sex at present. No sweeping analysis is made, no general pan acea is offered. Instead of one point of view being presented and upheld, there are fifteen. Ludwig Lewisohn, scholar and critic, includes an essay in the book entitled “Love and Marriage.” Ed win Muir, one of the faremost es sayists in the country, contributes an article on the question: “Wo men—Free For What?” “Modern Love and Modern Fiction” is the title Joseph W. Krutch, dramatic editor of the Nation selects for his explanation of the changing moral scheme. Bertrand Russell writes on “Style in Ethics;” Arthur Hays on “Modern Marriage,” and Elsie Clews PaTsons on “Changes in Sex Relations.” Each one is inter estingly written; each one presents a fresh point of view. —G.

WETHERELL, Pacific Coast Secretary for Unitarian organizations, will give an address on Unitarianism in the light of its first hundred years of history in England and America, at the Unitarian church Sunday morning. What Modernism is now, Unitarianism was a cen tury ago. Its history indicates the trend of evolution which Modernism in the various churches must follow. Mr. Wetherell knows his subject. Several years ago he gave a successful teaching career to help or ganize the Unitariaij. Laymen’s League. For the last three years he has been head of all the Unitarian or ganizations on the coast.

Number 11 SENTIMENT OF UNREST GROWS 0 BAR’S TOO POPULAR There has been a great deal of hostile sentiment during the last few weeks on the part of many of the fraternities of the campus. This caustic attitude is directed toward Obak’s Lodge, as may be gathered by speaking to any manager of Greek letter houses. The big complaint comes from the fact that the boys are neglect ing to come to meals at the houses, many of them even withdrawing their meal tickets and transferring them to the big white counter. “The boys get so interested in their pool tournaments that they neglect the sacred noon hour,” ex plained Bud Pearson, manager of the Kappa Sigs. “Yesterday, over half the gang were missing at din ner, and were found to be, all en joying themselves, at Obak’s. Jerry Crary, manager of the Bach elordon’s, has the following state ment to make: “I can see nothing but doom for the fraternal organi zations of the campus unless Obak’s is suppressed. Our men nearly all eat at the place amd many insist on rooming there.” Kollege OLLUM We notice that the Thetas have just received some new green rugs from Meier and Frank’s. Well, us fellows at Obak’s would sure like a chance to wipe our feet on them. The Theta’s fixin’s—new concert grand piano, and everything is sure making the new house shine. • * *’ Obak’s campus reporter went to the battle Thursday. The man who sat next to him is going to sue the company for a new suit—it was tom something fierce. But, just watch our gang go tonight; if they don’t win at Corvallis, said news hound is going to spend a hungry week. • * We were surprised at all the lat ent ability displayod last Wednes day by Messrs. Jones, Mautz and Leake. It is wonderful jwhat a little talent, and a few odds and ends can do. The whole gang at Obak’s bought their Christmas presents for their girls—those um brellas for 25 cents were a bargain. • * • If the weather continues as fair as it has been, the gang at Obak’s are going to throw their annual pic nic. We have been dickering with the Tri Delts, Alpha Phis, and the Delta Gammas, but as yet we haven’t had any luck.
