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.

'T'HE world has a thousand

And the lamp of my soul is

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.

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.

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.

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.
