College Students Paid Wage
In Russia, Says Dr. Mueller
Only Soviet Sympathizers
Allowed in Institutions;
Education Sought
How would you like to be paid
for attending the University in
stead of being charged tuition?
Such is the case in Russia, reports
Dr. John H. Mueller, professor of
sociology, who spent one month of
his summer abroad in the interior
of that country.
“Only those in sympathy with
the present government are per
mitted to enter the Russian col
leges, and they are paid a wage,”
Dr. Mueller said. “Among young
people competition to enter the
universities is very keen. Univer
sity education is closed to the sons
and daughters and members of the
old czarist aristocracy, independ
ent merchants and priests, all of
whom are disfranchised by the
government, inasmuch as they are
looked upon as a potential source
of counter-revolution to the Soviet
government."
There is a strong reaction
against the czarist form of educa
tion for display only, although cul
tural education is not entirely neg
lected, Mr. Mueller pointed out. It
is the present Russian belief that
each individual must prepare him
self for contribution to society,
and so the students spend one-half
of their time in college and the
other half in travel, farm work,
and practical labor.
A university professor is highly
respected in Russia, and is highly
paid, but he must interpret all
knowledge in terms of Marxian
philosophy, Dr. Mueller stated. The
university pedagogy is one of in
doctrination; no time is given for
open discussion, he added.
“Churches are closed by vote of
the district and may be converted
into a club house, storage plant, or
even torn down. Churches are,
however, closed by the government
itself, when the church is suspected
of counter-revolution. Free religion
does not exist in Russia; priests
are disfranchised and neither Sun
days nor church holidays are rec
ognized," he said.
While the tendency of the Unit
ed States is to display wealth, the
tendency in Russia is to hide it,
Mr. Mueller noted. An example of
this which seemed especially strik
ing' was the fact that the Russian
people attend grand opera in shirt
sleeves. This economic necessity is
rationalized into a virtue which
recognizes fine raiment as evi
dence of bourgeois sympathy and
therefore something to be con
demned. he explained.
"Peasants bring bags, baggage,
babies and teakettles to the rail
road waiting rooms and'there they
wait, and while waiting often sleep
on the floor in the third class wait
ing rooms because the railroad fa
cilities are not enough to satisfy
the demand for tickets which are
given out in order. They usually
carry with them hard-boiled eggs,
dried fish, cucumbers, and tea, and
cook their own meal.
“The laborers work four days
and rest one throughout the year,
with the exception of five national
holidays and a two weeks vacation
with pay. Under this system one
t'ifth of the population is resting all
the time. The old aristocratic man
sions have been taken over by the
soviet government to be turned
into rest homes where the workers
spend their vacations. The work
ers’ clothing, manners and demean
or so intimately associated with
the inlaid floors, hand-carved ta
bles and luxurious paintings in the
dismantled mansions give a very
strange atmosphere to the place,”
Dr. Mueller said.
Journalism Quarterly
Publishes Allen Article
History of Fourth Estate Told;
Divided in Four Periods
“Economic Changes and Editor
ial Influences” is the title of an
article by Eric W. Allen, dean of
the school of journalism, in the
September issue of the Journalism
Qjjarterly, a magazine published
by the Associated Schools and De
partments of Journalism and the
American Teachers of Journalism.
His article is devoted to investi
gative studies in the field of jour
nalism in the United States and
gives a historical sketch of this
field and the steps of advancement
it has taken in relation to economic
changes.
He divides the history of jour
nalism into lour major groups
which are: Party Press, 1801-1833;
Golden Age of Personal Journal
ism, 1833-1872; Period of Material
ism, 1872-1900; and New Condi
tions, 1900-1931.
“It is revealing no secret,” writes
Dean Allen, "to say that editorial
writers and schools of journalism
are disappointed, because both
have been developing their proced
ures on the theory that there is
such a thing as a social science
and that there is such a thing as
an expert, whose conclusion it may
become the main function of jour
nalism to study and broadcast.”

Editing Class To Make
Readers Survey Soon
Habits of Daily Perusal Are Being
Studied in Work
A survey of the Eugene Regis
ter-Guard readers’ habits will be
the undertaking of Dean Allen's
editing class, and will extend over
a week period starting Monday. A
similar survey of the old Register
readers was attempted two years
ago and proved to be an interesting
experiment.
Merlin Blais and Ted Montgom
ery, seniors in journalism will man
age the project. Students of the
class to make scientific survey will
go into the homes of some of the
readers and find out what they
read, not just what they like to
read.
Various facts. such as classes,
occupation, nature of work, wheth
er reader is man, woman, or child,
and if from the country or city
are to be listed in the survey.
At the end of the week the re
sults will be tabulated in statistical
form to show the trend of reader
interest.
DISCOVERED ELEMENT
ACTIVE ALKALI METAL
(Continued from Fape One)
yet. The discovery of this ele
ment 87 by the Cornell man may
be only a verification of the dis
covery of the Alabama scientists.
If the discovery of the Alabama
man was valid, this is true. It
may be, however, that he did not
make the discovery—only thought
he did. In this event, the Cornell
man is the discoverer.
“Concerning its properties,” Dr.
Caswell continued, “its position in
the periodic chart tells us that it
should be the most active of the
alkali metals—the group including
sodium caesium, and potassium.
Likewise, it should be the heaviest.
The metal itself has, according to
reports, not been isolated, but we
have every reason to believe that
it will be a silvery white metal.”
“Just how was the discovery
made?” he was asked. “How did
the scientist know when he had a
new metal?”
“The periodic chart of the ele
ments,” he went on, “tells us what
the spectrum of the missing ele
ment should be, and when the
lines supposedly characteristic of
element 87 were seen in refined
slag, the scientist had every rea
son to conclude that he had dis
covered a new element.”
The periodic chart of elements
is the arrangement of all the
known and as yet undiscovered
elements in a scheme according to
their electronic and interatomic
construction. The spectrum of an
element is the peculiar pattern of
lines produced by passing light
from a volatalized element through
a prism which breaks the light up
and reveals the characteristic pat
tern.
The research being carried on
by the physics department of the
University of Oregon plans to
make use of the spectrum in chem
ical analysis. Dr. Norris and his
associates are endeavoring to find
a .method of analyzing substances
by use of a spectrum technique
whereby the characteristic ele
mental spectrum patterns will re
veal the composition of the sub
stance.
"This element 87 should have
great scientific value, since it
should be more powerful in photo
electric work than any of the ele
ments used for that work now,”
Dr. Caswell and Dr. Norris agreed.
"Photo-electric cells,” Dr. Cas
tvell explained, “have given to the
ivorld television, telephotography,
rnd the measurement of very faint
stars. Anything which would in
tense the power of photo-elec
tricity may be regarded as espe
:ially valuable.”

By RALPH MASON
Jack Holt at Fox McDonald
“Dirigible,” starring Jack Holt,
Fay Wray and Ralph Graves, is
filled with a variety of scenes and
circumstances. The theme is the
same old triangle affair—minus
the shooting. Fay Wray feels that
she has married a “headline,” and
is on the point of giving Ralph up
when the news of his crash at the
pole reaches her. She begs Holt
to rescue him, which he does in
the Los Angeles.
The scenes at the Lakehurst air
dock are interesting and impres
! sive. Shots of the ship in the grip
I of an Antarctic storm are dimly
I recorded but quite hair raising.
“Dirigible” is a “conglom” of
“snowstorms” on Broadway, New
York, blizzards in the Antarctic,
airplane crashes, and lonely wives.
We hate to mention it, but those
clouds in the snow scenes did look
very much like the Hollywood var
iety. “Dirigible” is showing for
