If you have a date with a Russian who doesn’t speak English and whose language you don’t talk, try saying it in Japanese.
That’s the solution offered by Rhoda Knudten, sophomore and music major, who was born in Japan and lived there until a year ago.
A Russian wedding in Tokyo was responsible for the befuddling linguistic situation. Miss Knudten was a bridesmaid and the Russian problem was her escort. Instead of ushers in Japan they have escorts for the bridesmaids. PUBLIC WEDDING
“The service was held in the Russian Orthodox church. There were some little children playing ball in one comer and people sightseeing in another while the wedding was going on,” Miss Knud-tefi explained.
The marriage of the young people involved a brief ceremony at a small altar, from which they moved on to a larger altar where crowns were placed on their heads. Together they held a lighted candle. After kissing the ikons the couple went to their new home where their parents made the sign of the cross over the youijg folks’ own ikons. The marriage was over. And the fun began.
DAUGHTER OF MISSIONARIES
Rhoda Knudten is the daughter of Lutheran missionaries. Her parents also are attending SC, having been forced to leave Japan because of international conditions. While living in the Orient Miss Knudten received her grade school training at home.
Then she went to the American school, which had a board of trustees consisting of mission workers and business men, and a cosmopolitan faculty.
The family was stationed in Nagoya, Japan’s third biggest city and an important port.
FAMOUS FOR ART
“Nagoya is flat with mountains all around in the distance. It is famous for its castle with the golden dolphins, its china ware, and its really good cloisonne.”
Nipponese roads as a rule are poor and bumpy, Miss Knudten noted.
“Between 15 and 25 miles are about as fast as you can drive, and there are so many bicycles to keep from hitting. There are no sidewalks, and the roads out of town are aUey size.”
TRAINS DESCRIBED
“Trains are first, second, and third class. We always traveled third to get the student reduction,” remarked Miss Knudten. “The seats are hard, and remind me very much of the street cars around here. They smoke a lot in the trains, and the babies cry. But 3* enjoyed talking with the people, from a sort of social and psychological viewpoint.”
Tokyo dance halls were quite nice, Miss Knudten maintained.
“The orchestras are really good. They play American music, often getting their arrangements from records.

PROGRAM
AT TODAY'S
LECTURE^
Bovard Auditorium Thursday, Oct. 23 12:10 p.m.
Archibald Sessions
Fantasia in G minor _______«. Bach
This Fantasia leaves other works of the type far behind, because its passage-writing is expressive and full of harmonic suggestion, and even more because of the skill with which these passages are balanced and contrasted by fine polyphony, chains of suspensions, and daring modulations, the whole being held together by a fine pedal part.
Clair de Lune ________ Karg-Elert
No composer for the organ, since Bach, has shown greater contrapuntal ingenuity than Karg-Elert.
Athletic Professor Reveals Hidden Talent in Painting
Besides being professor of physical education at SC, William Ralph LaPorte is an artist at present, at present he is showing five paintings in the Exhibition by Peninsula Artists in the gallery of the Palos Verdes public library.
“I always wanted to paint,” admitted Professor LaPorte.
“My mother used to. I finally got	____
an outfit and started on my own about five or six years ago.”
Professor LaPorte specializes in sea* and landscape, particularly of desert pictures. His favorite among his own work is “Palm Springs,” showing verbena, sage brush, smoke trees, desert, and distant mountains.
HAS TO WORK FAST
“I fit in my painting between .times, so I have to work fast. I dash off a picture at one sitting usually taking two or three hours,” said Professor LaPorte.
“It would be nice to take a year Off just to paint, but there is too much schedule and routine and I can’t turn loose. Yes, I’d like ,to be a professional artist.”
FREE MEDIUM BEST
Self-expression in a free medium is the greatest pleasure of art work,
Professor LaPorte believes.
u ... to get rid of ideas, splash paint. You never know what you’ll get in oils. There is that element of uncertainty ”
Professor LaPorte has recently moved to a new home in Palos Verdes, set in a eucalyptus grove and catching a view of ocean beyond. There he has a study and studio where he can blend vocation with: avocation.
GROUP OF ARTISTS "There are a number of artists, about 15 or 20, on the peninsula,”
Professor LaPorte announced with civic pride. “The library art gallery will display the work of resident artists, instead of that of outside professionals, until after Art week. This is the first entirely local exhibit.” *

SANDY, Utah, Oct. 21.—(U.E)— The 1941 municipal election at Sandy, Utah, tonight became the first Democratic casualty of America’s defense boom—not because officials suspended the vote, but because the town’s 2000 busy citizens forgot all about it.
The deadline for nominating petitions for the eight city offices passed at noon today without a single entry.

ON TO CAL * • . The weatherman says we’re going to have more of the same for the rest of the week, so in view of the discouraging signs outside our forth floor retreat, we suggest a new motton for the Cal trip:
“Take the Train—Beat the Rain.”
And then again, there’s the year that Daily Trojan desk editor, Ran •Henderson, left all of Monday’s paper in Modesto where he had to console a sick friend on Sunday night. . . .
0\ ER-READ . , . Newspapers come and go, but there’s always the good old Herald-Express to fall back on for a laugh now and then. Seen recently on an inside page was this rather mangled set of headlines:
JABANESE WAIT SHIBS and JABAN-U.S. TALKS FAIL
And then again, there’s a lot of talk about the Chinese in Cbina being harrassed by the Jabs.
MORE ABOUT CAL ... We remember our freshman year when we took the train . . . all the way to Glendale, and then a man in a blue uniform came around for something called “tickets’* which we were unable to produce . . . anyway, they have a nice station at Glendale. . . .
We almost forgot to mention the fact that when you’re looking for a nice place of abode in the Bay city, think of that hotel that is synonymous with castle ... get it . . . swell. . . .
“Forty-five to Frisco . . ” so they all said, and urged. . . .
We tried our best ... we tugged and groaned and sweated . . . the needles rose . . . 37-38-39-40-42. We were fascinated when it reached 43, proud as it touched 44 . . . scared stiff when it hit 45. . . .
The gaskets blew, we lost our main bearings, all the fenders fell off, the exhaust back-fired, but we made it . . . we were going 45, but we didn’t reach Frisco (by automobile.)

ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITIES
This girl could be seen attacking the numerous responsibilities thai go with editing a paper, and we asked Miss McCorkle if she hac found it difficult to make “those big boys on her staff take orders.’
To this she laughed and saidj “No, I had no more troubles than the editor of today’s Trojan has i( face. Some days we had smoot sailing, but on others, oh dear,’1 and she threw up her hands as ii] remembering those latter days.
“I do think that we had morel trouble printing our paper ,though/ she continued, “because the print-1 ing shop was much farther away from campus, and it was exceedingly difficult to make those print-] ers ‘behave.’ ”
