Rockcfciier- Evidently feeling that the Union booknook lacked the cos mopolitan character and universal appeal that it should have, some ardent intellectualist has recently blessed the brousing room with the April issue of the "Young Communist Review." Within its gray and green cover picturing the usual American cou ple walking across the hillside are mild attacks on Hitler and others of that stripe, a potshot or two at the American parties, a tribute to a fellow communist youth who died as leader of the Abraham Lincoln brigade in Spain, conven tion publicity, several love pats for Stalin and the soviet big broth ers, and an article boosting the capitalistic World's Fair in New lork while landing gentle body blows to the management's mid riff for its "discriminatory labor policy" and its welcoming of the iriendly exhibitions from Italy and Japan. The solid American background (Continued from Page 1.) ning. All 7 departments in the en gineering college are cooperating to put on the most pretentious open house exhibit ever under taken. Some of the other feature dis plays will inciude such sights as a musical bubble fountain, which Is being constructed by the elec trical engineers. The electrical engineering titudenta will al.;o demonstrate inverted speech an 1 the cooking of food on a frying pan floating in mid-air. Foundry to operate at full blast The university's Iron foundry wi'l be operating at full blast dur ing the open house celebration Here students will be able to see the making of castings similar to the ones from which the median leal engineering students f jshioncd their seale working model of a steam locomotive. Exhibits by the chemical engi neers will include a moving dio rama of on iron foundry illustrat ing the processes in the refining of iron ore from the tune the ma teilal leaves the mines until it la turned out of the factory, a fin ished product. Military engineers are preparing an exhibit of model military bridges. Agricultural engineers will feature an electric brooder which will care for a family of live chickens, and the architectural en gineers will present a design for mo lern living:. Following their usual custom epch of the seven engineering ue paitments have Installed window displays. In . downtown Hiores Guides t "HI be on hand the night rrf .the exhibit to point out and cx plain a 11 phases of tho relebratlon. of the members of the "Young Communist League" which period ically gathers together these scrapes of mild sarcasm, bits of sincere concern for the felfare of the masses and Negroes, and much of the familiar trivality of youth, and publishes it in a magazine, is clearly revealed by a glance at the contents page. If thers is anything in a name the editor might strike deep terror in fascist hearts with his "handle," Joseph Starobin, but over two-thirds of the authors are plain, everyday Englishmen or Germans that can not boast even a pinkish name. Franklin, Green, Ross, Winston, Williams, Robinson and so they run with only an occasional Vrbel, Anton, Graubard or Cardozo. And this last has the healthy American air that only a justice on the Su preme Court can give a name. One article proposes that the Y. C. L. (Young Communist league) revamp its declaration of principles in the direction of a clear, outspoken and short state ment so that "members" would not need to confess with embar rassment that they had "hardly looked at the constitution for ages." Governor "Butcher Boy." Fred Fine accuses American political zoology with a major error in his fragment, "The Ele phant Forgets to Remember." In it a "fair-haired boy of the steel, packing, and railroad interests that promised all things to all men" is tailed "Butcher Boy," even tho his state difnifies him with the title of governor. His statements are pictured as "hon eyed hypocrises. Fascists are "gnawing holes" as all rats are wont to do in their spare time and the Trotskites are found, without the aid of facteriologists or even a microscope, to be mic robes. Fine hopes that the people have been "immunized" against See COMMUNIST page 7.
