Popular Russian Course Attracts Faculty, Students undergraduates, graduate stu dents, and professors alike rut ft&ows in the first year Russian class opened this term with Dr. Berthold C. Friedl as instructor. Dr. Friedl taught a similar Russian course to ASTP students at the University of Missouri. Students in the first year Russian class are there for in terestingly diverse reasons. The professors no doubt intend to use their knowledge of the Russian language to further their plans in scientific research, to go deeper into the study of Russian drama, or in seeking answers to the sociol ogical enigma of the Soviet Union. Reasons Given Members of the University library staff are studying the language in order to acquire the necessary tools for communicating with Russian institutions of learn ing and for enriching the library’s Russian collection. ^Undergraduates are planning their careers along lines which make a knowledge of the language necessary; as engineers, business administrators, foreign servants of the United States government, journalists, and in other capacities. Though the 6-hour class in Rus sian is a regular college course, the method and instructional ma terials are drawn from the ASTP course in Russian as taught by Professor Friedl at the University rf Missouri during the war. Dr. Friedl believes that the A.STP curriculum, developed ex i- =?< I 756-760 Willamette EUGENE, OREGON Telephone 3131 Keep trim with a haircut from KAMPUS Barber Shop Leo and Mac 849 E. 13th | perimentally during the war, has genuine significance for peace time language teaching in as much as it integrates language with area. Two More Two other classes in Russian and on Russia are sponsored this term by the Bxtension Division. One is on Russian culture and civiliza tion and the other a two-hour study of the Russian language. The University library has ac quired many new books in Russian and on Russia, and is making plans to develop an important Russian collection. The Warner Collection in the Museum of Art is also contemplating enrichment of its Russian art and book collec tion. Mrs. Mabel E. McClain is directing research effort into the field of Russian materials in the Pacific area. Library Exhibits There is now on display in the library an exhibit on Education in the USSR. It contains pictures of children in schools and school ac tivities from nursery to college. Also in preparation for exhibits in the near future are Russian Art and Architecture, and The Soviet People at Peace. Plans are in progress to give several musi cal programs and show various films on Russia this term. Says Dr. Gage Math Is Rage Dr. Dan Gage was explaining to his principles of accounting class, by the use of blackboard illustra tions, how to enter the new inven tory on the books. “Now note that I don’t just scratch off the old figure. I sneak up on it by adjusting the debit or credit side with the difference be tween the two inventories,’’ ex plained Dr. Gage to his supposedly eager listeners. Dr. Gage lectured on, the class slept on (that is, assuming this was an average University student group), and as the hour drew to a close the professor asked an open question pertaining to the current assignment. “Now how do I put the new in ventory on the books?’’ From the back of the classroom came the droll voice of an ex-G. I., “You just sneak up on it.” Prof: This exam will be conduct ed on the honor system. Please take three seats apart and in al ternate rows. It's as Good as It Looks .. . Planning a Valentine Party?
