Ten Students
Solo in Flight
Training Class
Blanche McClellan
Second Coed to Fly;
Soloist Total 13
While instructors stayed on the
ground, ten more flight course
cadets qualified as soloists in their
initial lone flights, raising the
number of solos in Oregon’s civil
air training school to a total of 13.
Blanche McClellan became the
number two coed soloist yesterday
as she took off and landed her Cub
trainer with the instructor’s seat
empty.
Jerry Andrews, CAA instructor,
turned in the following list, of solo
hops from the airport, all occur
ring since Friday.
Blanche McClellan, Nick Dallas,
Paul Smouse, John Sherman, Harry
Findley, Merle Peters, Don Root,
Richard Sears, Wendell Haley, and
Ralph Boak.
Pierce Mallory was first to bring
his plane in alone, followed by Joe
Walker and Maxine Glad. Maxine
is credited as the number one coed
solo in Oregon and according to
reports, first in the Northwest.
The ruling forbidding any pre
vious soloists from enrolling in a
civil pilot's training school has been
repealed, Carlton E. Spencer, direc
tor of the course reports, opening
applications to several more po
tential students. Only license hold
ers will be barred as ineligible un
der the law’s new interpretation,
he declared.
Violent 'Rug' Cutting
(Continued from page one)
An eastern Oregon city still has
an eight-mile-an-hour speed limit
on the books. The law decrees that
motor vehicles “be firmly secured
so that they will not move unguid
ed and uncontrolled down the
streets.” When gearshifts were the
latest automotive wrinkle, the
| cars had a habit of slipping into
gear and running wild when the
motor was left on.
One city has an 1867 ordinance
that offers a bounty of five cents
a head for rats, killed within the
city limits. Another law gave the
town marshall a 81 bonus for ev
ery arrest and conviction.
An idea of the seriousness of
labor shortage during the last war
is evidenced by a statute that re
quired every male from 16 to 60
to be engaged in some “useful oc
cupation” and work for at least 36
hours a week. Today, legislators
are fighting for a 30 hour week to
relieve unemployment.

The Sea Tower
By Hugh Walpole
Hugh Walpole weaves the
psychological “silver cr/rdt”
theme into a tale of Gothic hor
ror in The Sea Tower. The psy
chological aspects of a waaped
and devastating mother love
become the vehicle for Wal
pole’s skillful presentatioa of a
chilling, Situation.
London-born Christina came
to Scarlatt as the bride of Joe
Field, and met his eccentric
family for the first time in the
gloomy vastness of their medi
eval home. Congreve, the elder
brother, was a thin, cold, bril
liant shadow of a man, who
found life only in painting.
Archer Field, handsome and
sickly, was an ineffectual hus
band and father. Aunt Matty,
stupid and rattle-tongued, was
concerned only with the nar
row, provincial social life of the
town. Captain Tim’s precise
status was indeterminable. Bes
sie Field, the mother, looking for
all the world like Queen Victo
ria in her plump, soft round
ness, ruled Scarlatt with an
iron hand. And Simpson, the
formidable servant, was devoted
to her mistress to the point of
murder.
Upon this oddly - assorted
group, the beauty and youthful
force of Christina acted like a
chemical precipitate. She awoke
in Congreve and the Captain
new life-energy, and in the
heart of the mother a hatred
that broke out one fearful
night in a cataclysm of torture
and insanity. Scarlatt had been
a kingdom where Bessie Field
reigned supreme, completely
'dominating in habitants. For
her husband, her sister, and the
captain, she cared nothing. Her
sons were her life; she had pos
sessed them so entirely and so
subtly that their souls were be
ing slowly swallowed up in hers
— until Joe brought his bride,
Christina, home to her. She re
alized the end of her world in
Christina, and her sickening
brain began to twist a plan for
its salvation. The growing ma
levolence shadowed the atmos
phere with a terror and a hor
ror which were felt by all the
inhabitants of Scarlatt, and un
derstood by Christina alone.
The end comes with shocking
swiftness.
Readers will enjoy the typi
cal Walpolian atmosphere, but
Walpole admirers will be disap
pointed in the carelessness
with which the book is written.
With the exception of Bessie
Field, the characters are unani
mated and inadequately por
trayed. The captain, for in
stance, is an improbable figure
to begin with, and the situa
tions which develop about him
are forced situations rather
than events which occur out of
a natural development of his
improbable character. His end
is too melodramatic even for a
book which is highly romantic.
Christina has too little strength
and personality to make prob
able the destructive changes
which are sttpposed to be owing
to her. But in Bessie Field the
author has fulfilled the expec
tations associated with a Wal
pole novel. Her personality,
characteristics, mental and
physical makeup are drawn with
clarity. She dominates the story
just as she dominated Scar
latt. The reader, if he will bear
the disappointment in the work
manship of the book, will find
The Sea Tower a swiftly mov
ing novel, generously supplied
with thrill, to provide a fascin
ating evening’s occupation.
The Sea Tower was pub
lished by Doubleday, Doran and
can be found in the book de
partment of the University
Co-op store.

Notice has just been given from
the office of Dean Eric W. Allen of
the school of journalism that a new
scholarship will be open for the
first time this year for seniors in
journalism.
Tt is to be called the'r. Neil Tay
lor scholarship, and will consist of
$.r>0 awarded to the writer of the
best thesis for the year, A com
mittee composed Of Dean Allen
and other members of the journal
ism faculty will judge the theses.

alism.
