Nagy Discusses Russian Policy In Portland Talk Ivan G. Nagy, professor of poli tical science, spoke Tuesday before 450 members of the Portland Ro tary Club on “Global Policy of the Soviet Union.” The main features of the Soviet system, according to Nagy, are the facts that it is global, and that it is a long-range plan.

University Library to Display v War-Time Printed Swiss Books Five hundred Swiss books print ed during World War II will go on display at the University Library Feb. 1 to 15, under the auspices of the Legation of Switzerland. Opening the exhibition on the campus will be an introductory talk on “Modern Switzerland and the Amazing Activities of War Time Swiss Publishers,” by D. M. Dougherty, head of the foreign language department. Two Swiss films will also be shown on the initial program. One, “G.I’s in Switzerland” reflects life in Switzerland. The second, en titled “Winter in the Alps” pic tures the winter sports and scen ery of the Swiss Alps. The aim of the exhibition is to acquaint American book lovers with the achievements of Swiss writers and publishers in the past few years. CULTURE SAVED “Switzerland republished works of German, French, and Italian authors during the war when no printing was possible in these countries, thus saving the Western European culture,” Fernand Ro chat, representative of the Swiss consulate from San Francisco, ex plained. Rochat was on the campus Wed nesday arranging details of the exhibition which is now being shown at the University of Wash ington. The exhibition should appeal to students especially, Rochat be lieves, because of the student ex change program between Switzer land and the United States. “Students who plan to study in Europe can gain an understanding of European way of thinking from the exhibition,” he pointed out. SCIENCE WORKS INCLUDED The collection includes books from all fields with special empha sis laid on scientific works. The majority of the books are in Ger man or French, Rochat said. The collection of books has al ready been shown at the Library of Congress in Washington; at Chautauqua, N.Y.; at the Cleve land Public Library; at the Archi tectural League of New York, un der the patronage of the Ameri can Institute of Graphic Arts; at the University of Missouri; the University of Oklahoma; and the University of Utah. From Oregon the books will go What the little kids would like to save for a rainy day is school.
