Journal Club In Third Year The Journal Club of the Foreign Language Department was orga nized three years ago for the pur pose of “raising the intellectual temperature on the campus a de gree or two,’’ in the words of its founder, Chandler B. Beall, profes sor of romance languages. It is designed to give faculty, in terested students, and outside peo ple opportunity to bring each other up to date in the fields of scholar ship and creative work—“a project in mutual education,” explained Beall. In its first year on the campus, a few surveys were conducted on dif ferent periods, movements, auth ors, and fields of scholarship. Last year the club sponsored a series of lectures and demonstra tions devoted to the study of Ba roque style in French and Spanish literature, the arts, and music. This year’s series of meetings is to be devoted to the artistic styles and vocabularies of the Twientieth Century, in order to make students more aware of the age in which they are living. Although the Journal Club origi nated in the foreign language de partment, it is campus-wide in scope. 'Challenge of Teaching' Interests Busy Professor By JACKIE PIUTZEN Would she enter it or would she teach it ? It was always business, Miss Jes sie Smith, attractive assistant pro fessor of business administration, said, but whether to teach or to en ter the field was another problem. Miss Smith came to the Univer sity as an instructor in 1942, from the office of the chancellor of Ore gon’s state system of higher educa tion. Gaining her master’s degree in 1946, she became an assistant professor, and began work for her doctorate. As a major factor in her choice of education, Miss Smith points out an interest in the development of the individual. “I admire the inquiring mind of the student, and believe in the en couragement of the student’s abili ties.” Evidence of this attitude is the amount of individual counseling which is included in her daily ac tivities, and her advisory work in Phi Chi Theta, women’s business honorary. On leave of absence, Miss Smith attended Columbia University last year, working toward a doctorate degree in business education. A study of New York secondary schools revealed many weaknesses in the preparation of high school students for later work or study in business, she explained. ‘‘These weaknesses may be elimi nated largely through better prep aration of business teachers in sec ondary schools—the ultimate goal in the field of business education.” Toward this objective, Miss Smith pointed out the co-operation of the University schools of busi ness and education to promote an enriched program of teacher train ing in business. ‘‘The improvement of teacher training techniques is always a challenge to education." she added. But the challenge of teaching is not new to Miss Smith, who began tutoring other students before she entered high school. Nominations Slated For Theater Board The University Theater execu tive board will meet Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Theater Green Room. Nominations for the new execu tive board will be made. Clubs Arrange Film Showing At Mayflower Four silent films dealing with surrealism and experimentalism, sponsored by the Foreign Movie Club and the Journal Club, will bo presented at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, in the Mayflower Theater. R. L. Picard, assistant profes sor of romance languages, and president of the Foreign Movie Club, will introduce the hour and a half program. The pictures will not begin until approximately 4 p.m. The films arc “Rhythmus" by Hans Richter; “Ballet Mecanique,” a cubist film by Fernand Leger; “Symphonie Diagonale” by Viking Eggeling; and “Entr’acte” by Reno Clair and Francis Picabia. “Symphonie Diagonale” is an ex periment made in an attempt to discover the basic principles of the organization of time intervals in the film medium. Tickets may be obtained for 25 cents at the door, or from club members. An orchestra leader says the concertina is the greatest of all musical instruments. It's all acc ordian to how you look at it.
