falmar Finnsson, late of Iceland.
A studious, earnest young man, Finnsson chose SC as the school at which to finish an education that began at the
University of Iceland. From this --
school in the capital, Reykjavik, he graduated last spring. He is now working for his M.B.A. degree in the Graduate School and plans to return to Iceland upon completion of his studies. He is absorbed in the problem of more intensive trade relationships fer his homeland.
Several students came to this country with Finnsson, landing in New York and crossing the continent by bus. One of the others is now at the University of Washington, while another is attending the University of California at Berkeley. Their entire trip took only 10 days.
Although Finnsson's native tongue is Icelandic, the original language of Leif Ericcson and his followers, he also speaks Danish and took many oral examinations in German at the northern school. He studied English for five years, but complains of difficulties with American vernacular and pronunciation, with which he is unfamiliar.
“Stunning !” he exclaimed when asked how he liked his first football game between SC and Oregon State two weeks ago.
Finnsson was reared on a farm ip. the northwest part of Iceland and is one of 11 children. By working as interpreter and guide to tourists each summer he was able to support himself while receiving his education.
Organ
PROGRAM
Bovard Auditorium Tuesday, Oct. 14 Archibald Sessions 12:10 p.m.
Tocatta and Fugue in D
minor (Request) ____________Bach
This is one of the most dramatic of all Bach’s works for the organ. The Toccata is brilliantly rhapsodical, with rapid passages alternating with massed harmonic effects. The Fugue, developed from a rolling subject, closes with an extended coda in the style of the opening Toccata.
The Lost Chord (Request) Sullivan
As a composed, Arthur Sullivan was unique in his ability to write oratorios, oipsras, church music, orchestral works, and dramatic music so superbly that there has always been a difference of opinion, as to which field of composition he really excelled in. In the eyes of the public, he will be perhaps be best known for his remarkable series of operettas including "Pinafore” and “The Mikado,” but always most loved for “Onward Christian Soldiers” and “The Lost Chord.”
Mayo Doctors Gauge Pilots
ROCHESTER, Minn. — (U.E) — An aspirant’s ability to pilot a plane will be determined before he leaves the ground—if studies now being undertaken by the Mayo Foundation for Medical Research prove successful. -
Ten Mayo specialists in vision, hearing and other fields are making first hand observations of student pilots—and are even taking the civil aeronautics board flight course to follow their “laboratories” step by step.
SERVICE REQUESTED
The research, being undertaken free by the clinic, was requested by the CAB to develop more accurate measuring sticks of the relative ability of a prospective pilot. The physicians make their observations and medical predictions and then by accompanying the student in the air, record the results of their forecasts.
The studies are being undertaken with the cooperation of the Northwest Air lines, with whom Mayos are engaged in another study of aviation medicine—development of air ambulances. TRANSPORTATION STUDIED
Authorities have pointed out that one of the most serious problems arising in the European war has been that of transporting wounded soldiers from areas isolated from all land transportation by enemy airplanes.
Large fleets of air ambulances may provide the answer to the problem, it is believed, and airlines stewardesses, all registered nurses, are keeping pulse and respiration records of special passengers to determine feasibility of such equipment.
‘Hard Luck’ Parachutist Lands on Rock Pile
RAPID CITY, S. D., Oct. 12.— (UJR)—George Hopkins, who sought to set a new world’s record for successive parachute jumps, was carried from Rapid City municipal airport tonight, cut and bruised, after landing on a rock pile after his 14th jump.
Physicians, who examined the San Antonio, Tex., professional after the jump, said he was in no condition to continue. His clothes were torn, his body badly bruised and cut, and a wound he received when he descended from Devil’s Tower in Wyoming last week reopened.
Imagine the throbbing of tomtoms as a background for a tribal ritual and you may picture the scene of the native dances, with the performers wearing the traditional dance masks.
Some of these masks are now on display in a special exhibit at Los Angeles County museum and should prove interesting to those in .the fine arts classes.
These played an important part in the lives of the Indian of the new world. It was an implement of magic. Through it he became identified with deified forces on the earth; he could for a moment .take on the power and attributes of the creatures around him.
DANCE PHASES CITED
Each week symbolizes a particular phase of the dance. The exhibition features the native characterizations of South America, particularly Guatemala and Mexico. Af.ter the conquest of Mexico and central America in the 16th century the Indians added to their old native dances new ones which told the story of the conquest.
There were ritual dances for all occasions. They were actually a type of prayer—prayer for rain for crops, plentiful game in hunting, abundant offspring. By penetrating behind the mask of nature, by himself impersonating her messengers the native felt his desires would be granted.
MASKS DESCRIBED
Used as a character in the “Dance of the Bull” is an espec-' ially grotesque mask of the monkey. The “Devil’s Mask” used in the dance of conquest is one of the most universal and popular characters of the dance drama in Mexico. Another outstanding creation is the mask of a pharisee represented in the dance depicting the conquest of the Moors by the Christians.
A 19th century mask titled the “Baile de la Conquista” portrays the dramatic battle between Spain and Mexico for supremacy.
Brightly colored in black and red these masks gave an eerie effect at the dance dramas. Real hair was often used for beards and eyebrows, and the facial outline was very lifelike. These masks gave a startling semblance to the productions.
Service Men Receive State Tax Concessions
CHICAGO — (U.E) — Army service may not be the most desired type of life in the opinion of many eligible selectees, but it does have its advantages.
Tax concessions to men in military service are already on the statute books of many states and still others will be enacted, the Federation of Tax Commissioners re.ports.

“Dusty was brought up according to the latest scientific guidance approach, that is, scientific counseling or advising rather than by the instructive method. But sometimes the good old-fashioned authoritarian system of spanking works better.”
Thus remarked Miss Helen Hall Moreland, counselor of women, as she talked of her blond cocker spaniel. To demonstrate her statement, Dean Moreland called Dusty and told her to lie down on the sofa. Proving the exception to the rule, the dog, in front of strangers, obeyed.
DUSTY IS NICKNAME
Two-year-old Dusty is a native of New York and her real name is Stardust. After Gov. Herbert Lehman’s physician raised her to the a’fee of six months, Dean Moreland took her.
Although the counselor of women has done much traveling, she is a native of California. She was born in San Francisco and graduated from the University of California. While at the university, she participated in many activities: president of the senior women, chairman of the senior advisory system, a member of Alpha Phi, social sorority, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a member
of Prytanean women's honorary society.
In 1924, Dean Moreland received her master's degree in social economics from Mills college and Columbia university. After receiving her degree, she went to Washington, D. C., to teach at the National Cathedral school, her former alma mater.
From Washington, she returned to Mills college to become the dean of residence and assistant professor of history. Dean Moreland remained there from 1923 to 1933, when she went to New York State College for Teachers as dean of students.
STUDIES MERIT HONORS U
While in New York, she received honors for her studies in student J( personnel administration. The dean of students stayed at the teachers hi college for seven years.
Early in 1940, she went to Stephens college, Columbia, Mo., and became the dean of women.
She remained there until the present year when she took up the PQsition vacated by Mjss Mary Sin- r< clair Crawford. ei
Dean Moreland engaged in many H; outside activities during her years Ss in office. While at the teachers br college she was vice-president of th the New York State Association of in Deans of Women. At present, she of
Films and Plays IN REVIEW
by Tom Foose
Those who like movies with potency and punch have fretted and fumed about the 1941 crop of films. Only “Citizen Kane” abated their irritation. Now a powerful film, “The Little Foxes” arrives to change their mood and make them cheer.

trying to defraud and overwork their townspeople, they try to cheat or blackmail each other. Till the last reel, the film is a tense battle of nerves.
FILM PRODUCED WELL
Samuel Goldwyn has produced Lillian Heilman’s thrilling play in a brilliant manner. As Regina, nastiest of the family, he casts that specialist in neurotic roles, Bette Davis. To match Miss Davis’ performance, he chose members of the play’s Broadway cast.
The play is really an old-fashioned stage thriller, with the characters simplified by being either very worthy of very malicious. Fortunately Goldwyn and Director William Wyler made no attempt to sweeten or glamorize the characters. They were as realistic about the family’s daily, domestic unpleasantness as about their large-scale malice.
HUBBARDS ARE RUTHLESS
The Hubbards are ruthless in their money deals. Stronger and slyer than Regina or Oscar is their brother Ben. Bachelor Ben (Charles Dingle) thinks up their poisonous schemes. In a determination for a large cut of the profits, though, Ben can’t match Regina.
Stifled by the petty social life of a small southern town, Regina’s mania is to grasp a fortune and move to luxurious Chicago. A possible fortune awaits her ill husband (Herbert Marshall) if he puts money in one of the brothers schemes. Most of the story is about Regina’s relentless efforts to goad her husband into investing.
OSCAR MARRIES MONET
Even more a victim of Hubbard harshness is Birdie, wife of humorless Oscar (Carl Benton Reid.) One of the most tear-pulling scenes in recent films is that wherein Birdie relates her marital tragedy: how Oscar married her only for money, how her son has all the crude Hubbard traits. Patricia Collinge, as Birdie, makes this the finest 'scene in the picture.
Balancing all this unkindness is a pleasantly interested adolescent love affair between Regina’s daughter (Teresa Wright) has few of her mother’s traits and provides a needed occasional relief from the vile Hubbards.
Beautifully sustained as is her performance, Bette Davis steeps Regina too much
GALVESTON, Tex. — (IIP) — This gulf coast city is preparing for an event which contrasts strangely with its boast of “pollen free” air.
Galveston’s fourth annual hay fever contest goes on deck tomorrow. An estimated 4.000.000 sufferers in the nation have a blanket invitation.
The best cases of sniffles and sneezes win the titles “king” and “queen” and a week's stay at leading hotels. The junior titlist, “duchess” and “duke,” get a week’s residence at smaller hotels and the youngest and oldest candidates, a day’s free visit.
This year, as previously Galveston was prepared for the beginning of the hay fever season. A theater held a matinee with bundles of ragweed as the admission price. City employes cleared vacant lots of vegetation that might produce the wrong kind of pollen.
The best protection, however, against the spores that cause nasal and throat irritation is the fact that the wind of Galveston generally is from the south. It sweeps over hundreds of miles of Gulf water before reaching shore.
