Norse patriot now in RAF to speak at SC
Capt. Per Land, who spent four years with the Norwegian underground and is now with the royal air force in Canada, will speak tomorrow at 8 p.m. in Hancock auditorium.
From 1940 to 1944 Captain Land worked with his countrymen in Norway and was then sent on missions to Germany and England. He smuggled himself through the lines disguised as a German officer and walked in and out of prisons and concentration camps to get necessary information for the underground.
No glamor or thrill 1s attached to such a service, according to Captain Land. He said that it was a desperate, sometimes tortuous business. Physical discomfort was the least of it, for every minute, every hour brought the underground worker closer to the inevitable moment of discovery.

“No single area of activity has been more picturesque and challenging than Norway, and the world as yet ha„s received too little information from this field of action,” stated President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. “For this reason Captain Land’s speech should be especially interesting.”
Heavy registration of women expected
“The largest registration of women in Troy’s history is expected this fall,” declared Miss Helen Hall Moreland, dean of women. This is evidenced by the calls for rooms in women’s residence halls. Usually the waiting list does not begin until November, but there is one already started of some quantity.”
Dean Moreland added that women have never been failed in these accommodations, and that all elig-i’ > women can still out in applications.
Pottery aids social misfits
Demonstrations of techniques and guidance in the making of pottery has been used effectively to help correct socially maladjusted and delinquent children and adults, according to Glen Lukens, assistant professor of fine arts, who spoke at a meeting of the We Are One club Friday.
The project, which Lukens wras instrumental in starting, began at a government housing community where Negro and Mexican adults were taught to make pottery skillets. vases, kitchenware, and figures.
The people attending the class-ers were encouraged to use their own ingenuity and methods for making the pottery objects. Leisure time activity was substituted for drinking and gambling. The classes are still in progress, and many of the products are being sold.
OMier groups have been set up in junior high schools where boys and girls who tend to be delinquent are given instructions in pottery making.
“These children are not mentally retarded. Actually they were so far advanced, they were not interested in the work at school and sought other methods to express themselves,” Lukens said.
By interesting the children in one field other abilities were awakened.
Lukens exhibited a dozen objects which had been made by people in the various projects in Los Angeles.

This Wampus is so stupendous that they even had to add to the staff to make it more so. Miriam Franz, ADPi, former office manager for the campus humor mag, is newly appointed assistant editor.
“And contrary to popular opinion,” states Miss Conrad, “Gordon Gray is really miscellaneous editor. Who else could run around gathering opinions on various and sundry matters, keep the office humming, and, in general, confuse us all.”
