Million-Year History of Inland Empire Shown in Film; UO Classes Attend By CORINNE ANTRIM The whole history of the Inland Empire since the time it supported a lush tropical growth many millions of years ago until it reached its present arid state is reviewed in a federal film shown to the physical science and astronomy classes yesterday, and still to be shown to the general geology class at 9 this morning. The film, “Hold That River,” is a story of the Grand Coulee dam and opens with a reconstruction of what geologists say must have happened when the Grand Coulee was formed. It first shows the tropical verdure which once abounded in the area and how it was destroyed by a violent volcanic upheaval which covered the basin with hot lava and volcanic ash killing every living thing. lee Sheets Next Next came the ice sheets from the north which further defaced that portion of the earth. The final recession of the ice sheets left the arid waste which characterizes the Coulee country today, poten tially fertile but supportnig only scant desert growth, because of a lack of life-giving water. Dam Construction Shown The latter part of the film shows the construction of the Grand Cou lee dam from the building of the first coffer dams and the pouring of the first concrete to the time the film was made, about a year ago. The narrator explains that the dam, the most gigantic en gineering feat ever attempted by man, is expected to reconvert the Big Bend country into the fertile valley it once was. The film succeeds in giving one an impression of the gargantuan size of the undertaking and the engineering skill with which it is being constructed. Double Feature, No ‘Bingo’ Accompanying “Hold That Riv er” is “Earth in Motion,” an edu cational picture filmed by the Uni versity of Chicago. It is a graphic explanation of the earth’s annua! motion around the run, the change of seasons, and the standard proofs of the spherical form of the earth and its rotation. These films are the property of the extension division at Corvallis from which they are rented by the physics department of the Uni versity. Other educational films from the same source are shown in the physics department every week as a regular part of physics courses.

Twenty-two hundred of the year books, the entire issue, an all-time record number, have been signed on the dotted line, Williams re ported. Not only that, but there is already a waiting list in case more copies turn up. However, the waiting list, num bering the lusty total of 10 at this early date, faces only a bare pos sibility that their waiting will be rewarded, it was indicated. Their only chance is for someone to fail to call for an ordered yearbook. Not exactly a gloom provoker in the Oregana office is this sales record of clean shelves a month before the campus will see what the Oregana builders have worked out for this year. Last year at this time, through duplication and oth er errors, there were books on hand to be disposed of, a problem no matter how much in demand the product. Forerunner of the advent of the ■ finished product to the campus is not so far off, Williams said, with' a bound copy of the book due here i within the next ten days, which! will still be three weeks before .issue. Editor Don Root’s job is all done, the Oregana office is practically deserted, except for Dick Williams’ work in collecting for Oregana space and subscriptions, and even that work is due to end before long. Final activity for the office, however, will not come until actual distribution is finished. Pound is also national vice-presi dent of the American Association of University Women.
