Keesing of Stanford University on Tuesday night in Chapman Hall, in the first of the annual Condon lecture ser ies. The Pacific Islands are no long er, nor were they ever, the idyllic paradise depicted by romantic fic tion writers, stated Keesing. Mod ern civilization no longer passes them by, and the need for island products coupled with modern transportation has expanded the Islanders’ previously narrow hori zons. Recent developments have proved that the Islanders do not need to remain human curiosities and the wards of more developed members of society. Population Increasing The once declining population of the Islands is on the upswing and the region increasing its popula tion at an accelerated pace. Kees ing gives health programs adminis tered to the Islanders, coupled with improved economic conditions as possible causes for this increase. Many islands are rapidly becoming over-crowded, but others still re main sparsely settled. Keesing also dissolved much of the mystery surrounding the ori gin of the large stone ruins found on Easter island. These works are merely ceremonial carvings of a Polynesian race, who were for some reason forced to end their activities, and the carvings cannot be tied in with any myth concern Carey] Presides Over Frosh IFC Bill Carey, Phi Kappa Psi pledge class president, was elected presi dent of the Freshman Interfrater nity Council at the organization’s second meeting, Tuesday night.

This results in “pidgin Eng lish,” which produces such descrip tive gems as “capsize him coffee along cup,” for “pour the coffee” and “big fella box, you hit him he cries” for “piano.” There are two kinds of adjust ment which the Pacific Islanders have made, explained Keesing. One is voluntary adaptation of easily utilized outside cultural habits, and the other is of .a forced nature, such as dispossession and govern mental restrictions by other na tions. Wartime Experience During the war Keesing worked with the Office of Strategic Serv ices in Washington. He was also instrumental in training American naval personnel for administrative work among the Islanders. At present he is senior commissioner on the South Pacific Commission for the United States. Keesing will present his second lecture of the present series “Pa cific Islanders: Problems of To day,” tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in 207 Chapman Hall. Psychiatrist To Speak Gerhard B.

EAT AT THE LEMON "O" Sodas undaes Sandwiches hakes "Doc" Ireland 13th and Alder First Film Club MovieSets High Standard By Warren Collier Members of the foreign film club were introduced to a season of top - flight movie entertainment last night with the showing of “Symphonie Pastorale” at the Mayflower Theater. Professor R. L. Picard of the romance languages department, in a short speech preceding the show ing of the French movie, urged all present to join the club if they had not already done so. He also sug gested that members voice their requests for future titles, espec ially in regard to a probable second sequence of six films. “Symphonie Pastorale” is the story of a pastor who discovers a blind girl whose grandmother had just died. The grandmother, a peas ant woman, had been unequal to the task of educating the girl; the. pastor virtually transforms her to full humanity. In the process a deep bond of love develops between them, and the pastor slowly and unconscious ly rejects his family in favor of her. But when the pastor's eldest son returns from England, he too comes to love her despite his en gagement to a neighbor girl. The fiance realizes the situation and postpones marriage until an opera tion—unconsciously delayed by the pastor—has restored the blind Ger trude’s sight. Gertrude sees the son, but is under the impression he is the pastor.

Bill must have a certificate of eligibility from the Veteran's Administration for the specific school and course desired. Up until this time the registrar’s office has been accepting certifi cates of eligibility for any institu tion or course, explained James D. Kline, assistant registrar'. Kline emphasized that this has no bearing whatsoever on veterans already enrolled in the University. Civil Service Has New Job Openings A new Junior Professional As sistant and Junior Management Assistant examination has been announced by the Civil Service Commission. Many positions covered by this examination are located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. This base is head quarters for research and develop ment, procurement, and industrial planning and supply distribution for the United States Air Force. Closing date for applications is Nov. 8. but only when she feels his hands does she realize her mistake—and too late, for the sight of him tells her that this is the man she loves. She cannot conceal her feelings from the pastor, and the son pres ses his desires to marry her. Un able to resolve the conflict of emo tions which revolve on her, Ger trude commits suicide. The pastor discovers her body, closes the star ing eyes whose vision has taken her love from him, and carries her away. If you've had our hamburgers you know they are the best.
