USSR School Asks Oregon For Exchange Siberian Institute Seeks Education Magazines P. .1. Devine Sends Request to Dr. Bossing; Desires “The High School” The Research Institute of Edu cation at Nowosibirsk, Siberia, U. S. S. R., sent two requests to the University of Oregon school of education for an exchange ac count with the educational period icals. The periodical which they requested is “The High School,'’ an educational publication which has been recently suspended be cause of financial conditions. "The High School” was pub lished by the school of education at the University. Letters re questing exchange came to Dr. N. L. Bossing, director of University high school, and offered “Proswes chenie Sibiri” and other issues in exchange for the publication. P. J. Devine, professor of education in the Siberian institute, said in his letter, “Our institute, the only scientific institute of educational research in Siberia, and one of the few in the U. S. S. R., is busy working out the theoretical and practical questions of education. We know the educational maga zine published by you and appre ciate it very much. We largely receive foreign educational maga zines from all parts of the world by way of exchange.” Professor Devine offered in ex change, the magazine “The Edu cation of Siberia.” In this maga zine the educational work of the professors and scientific workers of Siberia are printed. Reading -and Writing PEGGY CHESSMAN, Editor W/HAT one of us has not thrilled 1 ™ at some time or another to Jeffry Farnol’s “The Broad High way,” "The Way Beyond,” or other novels of adventure and ro mance ? The author affords us another opportunity for enjoyable, inter esting reading in “Wind3 of Chance,” an exciting narrative that is a swift and swaggering chronicle of the sea and the South American jungles. The plot is crammed full of dire perils and numerous horrors, the heroine is a young woman who openly re belled against the customs of her times, especially those in regard to the gentle, quiet conduct of the fair sex, a young woman of fire and spirit. A book that fits in very well with the news of today and yes terday is Lauren Gilfillan's “I Went to Pit College.” The au thor, a demure and diminutive girl, was graduated from college and set out to see things worth writing about. So she went to a mining town, lived with a miner’s family, and became one of the people. She went through a strike with the miners, begged with their children, dressed as a boy, and descended into the mine herself. Her book is the recording of the human toil and tragedy in the sor did town of Avelonia. It is a strange and fast-moving factual human document. * * * To the many students and fac- i ulty members who became ab- j sorbed in Hervey Allen’s “An- j thony Adverse” comes the inter- | esting announcement of the publi cation of “Toward the Flame,” the author's latest production. It is an extraordinary personal narra tive of the war, written in the same captivating style that made “Anthony Adverse” an internation al best seller. That novel is soon , to be published in France. Holland, ! Denmark, Germany, and Sweden, following a most successful publi- ! cation in England. * * * Eric Linklater, author of “Juan in America,” has made of “Mag- j nus Merriman” such an original; and alive novel that it is no won- i der it tops the list of England’s ! best-sellers. Magnus has been j created so that he is a figure worthy to stand beside ‘Gargantua 1 and Tristam Shandy. * * * For an excellent appreciation of I Charles Dickens, secure a copy of the book “Charles Dickens,” by Stephen Leacock, himself a humor ist, Dickensian lover, and a schol-1 ar. The biography is brilliant and portrays a living figure. * * * Books interpreting the status of Germany today are still pouring forth from the press. One of the latest is “Nazi Means War” by Leland Stowe. Paris correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune, winner of the Pulitzer prize in journalism for his reports of the Young Reparations conference in 1930. He went through Germany to learn the-, truth and his finding: 'T'HE spring social season on the campus will be officially opened by the Gamma Alpha Chi fashion dance Saturday night at Kokonut Grove. This dance is an annual affair, sponsored by the members of the womens national advertising honorary, and is one of the two big cam pur dances to which the women ask the men. The affair will feature a fash ion parade displaying the very latest spring styles. Caroline Card is general chairman for the dance, and has announced that long in formals will be in order. Patrons and patronesses will be Mr. and Mrs. W. F. G Thacner, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Collins, and Mr. and Mrs. Arne Rae. * * * Exchange Desserts This evening Delta Tau Delta will entertain Gamma Phi Beta with dessert and dancing.

She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Mr. Ste show careful investigation. They are soberly told but are startling and rather disturbing. “Germany wants nothing but peace” Adolph Hitler told the world in October of 1933. But, says Stowe: 1. There are 1,000,000 disci plined men in uniform in Germany, in addition to the army and Prus sian police. Are they merely a political farce? Are they mere>* “firemen” and “night watchmen” as Hitler calls them? 2. There are 237,000 men in the labor corps-drilling. Are they merely another Civilian Conserva tion Corps ? 3. All motorists are under the absolute command of a Nazi lead er. 4. 1,500 boys and girls of the Hitler Jugend are taught the glories of war by a government whose ministers say “the germ of the military idea must be planted in the youth now growing up.” 5. The leaders of German thought and education are preach ing a nation-wide mobilization of the war spirit.

Also "Three on a Honeymoon." Sally Eilers, Zasu Pitts. Colonial — “Cross Country Cruise," Lew Ayres, Alice White. By J. A. NEWTON On Shearer’s Shows A precedent was broken yester day when I failed to tell you what I thought of "Riptide.” Well, I think it is very good, but would j I say it is a bit drawn out. But a | half hour or so extra of Norma Shearer is entertainment in any country. This English actor. Herbert Marshall, has been ballyhooed as a gent to stir the feminine heart, and I don't wonder. Actors with the polish which he displays are few and far between. He is an excellent choice for the part of an English lord. And in addition to this polish, j he has a wonderful, deep voice j which is quality all the way | through. Somehow he stands out in this cast. Not that he over shadows the others or “steals" the picture. That would be impossible, since Miss Shearer picks her own stories and takes plenty of time about it. and also since she is Irv ing Thalberg's wife, and lastly, | since her brother (as I recall), Douglas Shearer, was the chief sound recording engineer. Never theless, Marshall is a prominent factor in the success of this show. Story of a husband's doubt as to his wife's faithfulness. The girl’s devotion, it seems, is con siderably stronger than the man’s. Not Seen “Cross Country Cruise “Good comedy which turns to melodrama as the film progresses. Playboy Lew Ayres sees June Knight taking a bus to San Fran cisco and buys tickets for himself and Arthur Vinton. Alan Dine hart, who planned to travel with June, cannot shake suspicious wife (Minna Gombell), and complica tions set in over the scenic route. Alice White plays deluxe hitch hiker. Fine supporting cast."— Photoplay magazine. Norbert Lusk in Picture Play The blonde is Pat Patterson, British stage beauty, and the gent under the hat is Charles Boyer, Parisian aetor. The two were im ported to Hollywood recently, and little Danny Cupid did his stuff. They are' man and wife now, or were, at last report. also gives a gentle hurrah for this show. Says it contains a murder with an arrow. The murderer puts the victim in a department store window with a group of dummies playing bridge. Describes it as a harrowing ride for the passengers. And tomorrow uncle will tell you whether the critic in Photo play and Dusk of Picture Play know their business. VACATION NOTES Crime-of-the-month: Katharine Hepburn given the Academy oi Motion Picture Arts and Sciences prize for “the year’s best perform ance” in “Morning Glory,” over May Robson's unapproachable work in "Lady for a Day.” Best pictures: “I Am Suzanne.” Romantic musical. Full of the be witching Lilian Harvey. “The Ninth Guest.” A corking mystery. Eight people in a pent house, sealed in by electrified walls. Radio voice gives them in structions. They are killed off one by one. Outstanding. “Only Yesterday.” Seen a sec ond time, and paid for! "F. P. 1.” English-made, and displaying the improving English | technical ability. Adventure. Fine shots: The crashing thirty - j second climax in “Bitter Sweet.” Killing off the old sick lead sled dog who hobbles along with the team he used to lead, in “Witli Byra at the South Pole.” The slave market revue in “Ro man Scandals.” Greatest of its kind. Physics Students Play With Train A toy electric train costing over $100 has just arrived for use in ex periments in Dr. Will V. Norris' physics classes, and Dr. H. J. Un ger, physics research assistant, is now at work mounting an electric motor and searchlight on one of the flat cars which will be used to illustrate gyroscopic motion. The light from the flat car will always shine in the same direction, even when the train proceeds along its rather intricate track because of the gyroscope on the car, Un ger said. He explained that the train is a very elaborate one, and that Nor ris had said to him in regard to it, “This is a train for kids like you and me.” OPTIONAL MEMBERSHIP IN THE A. S. U. 0. (Continued from Page Tu'o) of independent-minded students who objected to being compelled to buy tickets for things in which they were not interested.” The Eugene Register-Guard said on March 20: “The supreme court might take a different view of the matt.er, if a friendly test suit were carried up, but the chances are Mr. Van Winkle would be sustained. In any event, the student fee issue which was raised a few month* ago has not been pacified with a few gestures. It has become acute. “A complete revision of the status of these activities seems to be the problem before the board. . . “There will be much wailing over the situation. In all the schools, football is almost the only activity which really pays, and even football profits are uncertain. Minor sports, student newspapers and annuals, class dances and a wide variety of diversions (or oc cupations?) have been dependent on these fees. It is easy to say they can be sold on merit, but in the past it hasn't always worked that way. “Moreover, the auxiliary corpor ation known as the Associated Students in most of these schools has heavy debts to pay: the A. S. U. O. still owres about $30,000, and it is said to be in splendid shape relatively. “The trouble might have been avoided by a more considerate at titude toward those students who have been demanding a reduction of the charges for activities. For depression, the activity fee of $5 i a term has been too high. Many students struggling to get togeth er enough money for bare neces sities have resented bitterly being forced to contribute to activities for which they hp.ve little time or opportunity. ISiow the whole set up is open to change, and it is a good thing. “The activities will not perish, though some curtailments may be necessary. Long before colleges boasted these elaborate organiza tions, most of the ‘activities flour ished beautifully. There has been too much ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ at California or Washing ton or Stanford. Oregon could make -some educational history and profit (educationally) by a re turn to simplicity. There is more truth in poetry in the charge that in*most American schools ‘activi ties have become a mild form of 'racket.' “ ‘Activities’ are an inevitable phenomenon of youth; even the most zealous educators concede their value, but they have been over-developed and over-empha sized, and in many cases they have become an unjust tax on those who can ill afford to pay.” * * * The state board of higher edu catibn is scheduled to act on the matter in Portland on April 16.
