Col. Duesenburry to Hold
Federal Inspection
on May 18.
Col. Oury and his P.. O. T. C.
staff will itress special training
in the cadet corps in the next two
weeks in preparation for federal
inspection May 18. According to j
the Colonel, the new inspector, Col.
Duesenburry. is a "very close
marker."
The Cadet Corps parade held
Tuesday afternoon was designed to
prepare Uie batalions for the pa
rade and review requirements of
federal Inspection. Said Col. Oury
concerning the parade, "It isn't for
fun; it'a for instruction."
Concentration Necessary.
Altho the local R. 0. T. C. unit
has received an excellent rating
every year under Col. Oury, the
commandant expressed doubt that
the high mark would be retained.
He declared that a good deal of
concentrated effort was necessary.
Three ordinance inspectors from
corps area headquarters are here
for the week, checking every rifle,

Another interesting part in
cludes the invertebrate display,
where various small animals such
as clams, mollusks are shown,
these small animals are found in
different strata arid are used to
tell the age of the formation.
Microscopes have also been fitted
out with lenses containing micro
scopic invertebrates to be used by
spectators if they so desire.
Microscopic Exhibits.
The study of minerals too small
to be seen by the naked eye has
been placed at the public's dis
posal. Polarized light is used to
identify these minerals. The
amount of refraction of the light
determines the type of mineral.
The Flourescent mineral display
is believed by geologists to be well
worth the trip to Morrill Hall.
This is a display where minerals
that are dull and drab under the
sun or under electric lights are
brought to a dazzling degree ol
brilliance when subjected to the
light rays emitted from a mercury
lamp.
The practical part of the de
partment will also be on display
with many maps that indicate the
methods used by geologists to lo
cate oil fields and rock formations.

The world's finest library, the
Austrian National Library, is be
ing purged by the nazis, according
to the Associated Press. In the
magnificent Hofburg, former resi
dence of the Austrian Hapsburgs,
and now seat of the famed 1,200,
000 volume collection, orders were
received that all non-Aryan books
should be relegated to the furnace.
Accordingly, all works by Jews,
including ancient volumes valued
at thousands of dollars, were de
stroyed. Included in the purge of book
shops and libraries are the works
of Thomas Mann, the German
genius, who Is now touring this
country; Jacob Wasserman, au
thor of the great classic. World's
Illusion; SLeian Zweig, the great
biographer, who has written Marie
Antoinette and Conqueror of the
Seas; and Vicki Baum, female
;.uthor deluxe, author of Grand
Hotel.
The Viennese collection contains
manuscripts of tremendous value.
It was begun in the reign of Maxi
millian 1 during which period it
was necessary for all publishers to
donate a copy of every new book
to the library. It is especially rich
in music lore, possessing some 50,
000 books by and about the great
masters, including autographed
scores of Bach, Haydn, Mozart,
Strauss, and Beethoven.
And so another masterpiece of

Dozens of books were coming
home to roost after disappearing
in a most mysterious fashion.
During this week, the city library
is sponsoring a book campaign to
recover the 8,000 odd books which
have been "lost, strayed, or stolen"
from that institution in the last
three years. A huge book at the
entrance of the library entitled

In Student Union's
Cultural Programs
Although theia are as yet no
definite plans for musical activity
in the Student Union building, a
large place on the Union program
will be given to music if the stu
dents desire it, according to Miss
Marion Steel, social director.
Initiative in rernrfl to music Will
be left to student, committees with
suggestions and encouragement
from the directors, Miss Steel, in

I'm Still Alive, by Grace, receives
the homing books.
During this period, all fines are
removed, and persons returning
books to the library will be spared
the embarrassment of questioning.
Citizens who complain about the
high taxes or rave about politics in
government may prove their sin
cerity by returning any book3
which some little bird has acci
dentally placed in their homes.
It is reported that when Boston
sponsored a similar drive that so
many books were returned in the
first three days that four special
policemen had to be hired to hold
back the crowds.
