Library Busy Despite Many Distractions Student Literary Taste Is Fine, Says Librarian Rental Shelves at Co-op Stocked With Number of Good Books By Popular Demand University students may display bad taste in their treatment of rebel campus politicians, but they still show excellent taste in select ing books for their recreational reading, Mrs. Elsie Belknap, Co-op librarian, said yesterday. Placing another verbal bouquet on the heads of University stu dents, the Co-op librarian stated that in spite of alluring attraction of the great outdoors which our early spring has brought, campus students are not neglecting their recreational reading. Explaining the Co-op rental li brary’s policy of constantly re stocking its shelves with the newer books—yet at the same time keep ing those books for which a de mand continues — Mrs. Belknap stated that for the past school year University students have kept on her rental shelves a col lection of books that would grace the library of a D.Litt. Of this group of popular books a majority are non-fiction. Fran cis Hockett’s “Biography of Henry VIII," Arel Munthe’s “Story of San Michele," James C. Adams, “The Testament of Youth,” Her vey Allen’s “Anthony Adverse,” Margaret Ayer Barnes’ “Within This Present.” and Hasty Carroll’s “As the Earth Turns” are some of this group. Rivaling the non-fiction books in popularity are the novels of John Galsworthy, Ernest Heming way, Sigrid Undset, and D. H. Lawrence. The plays of Eugene O’Neill and Noel Coward also en joy a continuous demand. CAMPUS CALENDAR {Continued From Page One) Tuesday at 4 p. m. in 105 Com merce.

The Student Church By HELEN DODDS 'T'HE world has a thousand creeds, and never a one have I; Nor church of my own, though a million spires are point ing the way on high. But I float on the bosom of - faith, that bears me along like a river, And the lamp of my soul is alight with love, for life, and the wrorld, and the Giver. Ella Wheeler Wilcox—Heresy.

ALPHA DELTA SIGMA MEMBERS REVIEW FILMS (Continued Frayn Payc One) heights and the hero and heroine strolled down to the senior bench while the party went on. Relics of days now past were all the “broken tradition’’ scenes, so touching when the picture was first shown. Points that never would have been noticed unless Godfrey had mentioned them were that the villain didn't know how to handle a canoe, neither the heroine nor the rescuing hero knew how to swim, and that the charming comedienne could not drive even the ancient Ford more than a few feet. “If I could only have picked the cast,” sighed Godfrey. “'But all the boys who had anything to do with the production had girls who just had to be in it." Which doesn't mean that the boys weren’t pretty good pickers. The coed of 1929, ac cording to this showr, was an excel lent prospect for the Real Silk hos iery man—or at least that seemed to be the consensus of opinion among the Alpha Delta Sigma members. Theater Passes Won Howard Kessler and Reinhart Knudson, reporter for the Emerald, won passes to the Colonial theater for the highest number of stories for last week. Miriam Eichner was winner of the theater pass giv | en for the greatest number of tips. 1_ ; “Patronise Emerald advertisers.’• RURAL SCHOOLS TO HOLD MUSIC TOURNEY HERE (Continued, From Page One) of the Santa Clara h-.gh school. 9:20—Address of welcome, Dean Landsbury.

England Student Desires to Study Drama at Oregon Assistantship Requested; Holds References From Australian And British Educators A letter received from the south west of England recently by the graduate division office in Johnson hall, contains a request for a re search assistantship or a teaching fellowship in English from one R. C. Bald, who desires to undertake the reading for a study of the de cline of the English drama during the 17th and 18th centuries, espe cially in relation to diction and sentiment. Although teaching in Exeter, England, with a special assistant lectureship, Bald is a citizen of Australia by birth, and received his honors degree from the Univer sity of Melbourne. He has had sev eral books, pamphlets, articles and reviews published, among them "Literary Friendships in the Age of Wordsworth,” and “Donne’s In fluence in English Literature.” Bald holds references from prom inent educators in Australia and England, either former professors of his or colleagues in his eight years of teaching in his native country and at Cambridge and Ox ford colleges in England. .Since the University budget has made allowances for very few fellowships this year, due to the straightened finances of higher education in Oregon, the reply to Bald’s application has been writ ten to that effect.

Colonial — “Forty-Second Street,” Warner Baxter, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell. Also “Only Yesterday,” Margaret Sullivan, John Boles, Jimmy Butler. Sunday, “The Bow ery.” By J. A. NEWTON Pair of Aces The thing about this “Forty Second Street” is that it doesn’t make the stage production busi ness a job for any tender souls or any physical weaklings. Dance director Warner Baxter drives the chorus girls until they can hardly stand, and he spares himself the least of all. It is so realistic that one prac tically feels the exhaustion of Ruby Keeler as the chorus girl who steps into the star's role and must rehearse all day preceding the opening performance, and of Warner Baxter, the driving, re lentless, machine-like director. Ned Sparks, the old original sour face, is the ever-present pes simist who always cries "It can't be done!” “Only Yesterday” introduced Margaret Sullivan, a girl from the stage. And she may stay in Hol lywood for good as far as I’m con cerned. Not only is she an attrac tive girl, but she can act, and very excellently. * * # In "Jimmy the Gent” James Cagney plays the smart guy with the fast New Yoikster lingo on his KOAC Broadcasts Spanish Course Prof. W. G. Beattie, acting man ager of radio station KOAC, re ports that the course in Spanish which is being broadcast by Prof. Melissa M. Martin, of the State college, on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, has an enrollment of nearly 100 students. When the course was first an nounced the staff expected an en rollment of quite a number of stu dents, but they were surprised when after about two preliminary announcements, they had received 50 or 60 applications. The course began the second of April, and nearly 100 people arc now enrolled. Lessons begin at 10:05 and con tinue until 10:34. The course will end on June 8. tongue. He's just an uneducated guy with a heart of gold, and a tendency towards the crooked, the exciting and the lucrative. Bette Davis is the blond stenog who gets tired of Jimmy’s unaf fected toughness and leaves his rather old-fashioned office to help in that of Alan Dinehart, where they serve waiting clients tea, and where the general design is very modernistic. Jimmy drops in just to see how it is done, and decides to do it himself, as ha wishes to impress Miss Davis. He does it. Hence, “Jimmy the Gent.” Contains a number of rowdy laugh gags. Alan Dinehart is good in the humorous villain role. Allen Jenkins, as usual, is the dumb as sistant. “As the Earth Turns” presents the troubles of a small and inter locked group of farmers in Maine. It is a serious effort at an artistic movie, but doesn’t seem to hit the spot. David Landau has a pretty good part. He’s one of these featured players who are fine actors. There are lots of them. There’s also a very attractive young lass named Appleby, of all things, who plays the wanton and entertainingly attractive young daughter of one of the families. When I saw it, the picture was suddenly stopped just as it got interesting. This girl and one of the young men neighbors were at the lake side. She was dangling her legs over the low bank, kick ing up ripples with her little white toes. A curse upon the censors. Extra!
