Design Department Shows Finnish Glass Collection
A collection of more than 50 pieces of ceramics and glass from Finland will be shown here through the month of March. Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design announced today. The exhibition will be in room 320, Frank Strong hall.
This display consists of Karhula crystal, one of the best known Finnish products in America; the Kupittaan Savu pottery, and the Helsinki china from the Arabia ceramics works, the largest dinnerware factory in Europe.
Three kinds of Karhula glass are represented in the group; cut crystal, engraved, and blown glass, in bowls, decanters, stemware, and vases, not only in clear crystal but in shades of sea green, azure, and smoke tints. One of the outstanding Finnish designers, Goran Hongell, has achieved many of the cut crystal objects which show rhythm and a harmony of line and form.
Includes Jungell's Glass
Another well known designer is Richard Jungell, a Finnish master-craftman in the art of engraving and cutting glass, whose awareness of the pure transparency of Karhula glass has lead him to execute designs which serve to accent this quality. Recurring angles, straight lines, and large triangular areas are characteristic of his work. His designs in the hand-engraved pieces are arranged in patterns that complement each other so that in looking through the bowl or vase a complete picture with both foreground and background is created. A number of flower containers have been designed by Alvar Aalte, whose name is familiar in this country for his designs of buildings and furniture. For generations the country about Karhula has produced glass blowing families, many of whose sons are apprenticed at 14 to work in this industry.
Characteristic is the Kupittaan Savi pottery, with its colorful and imaginative decorations, consisting of wall plates, coasters, and ashtrays. The wall plates are of jade green, in attractive designs of white or all-over patterns; these may also be used for large sandwich trays or for hors d'oeuvres.
Platina Pattern in Pastels
"Platina" is one of the Arabian dinnerware patterns in the pure translucent china-ivory body, decorated with fine lines of platinum and pink, which forms a combination of distinctive daintiness.
Two child's sets, of Helsinki fainence, comprising a cereal dish, plate, and cup, with blue or red animal decorations and inscriptions representing (in Finnish) what the children imagine the animals say, are also included in the collection. The Arabian factory is also represented by the "Green Thistle" design, worked in monotone green which harmonizes equally well in either old or new settings.
Arrived by Circuitous Route
As a matter of interest, it may not be amiss to state that this particular collection traveled over a circuitous route of 5,500 miles. Originally dispatched from Helsinki in March, 1940, from Helsinki via the Baltic, the Skaggerack and the North Atlantic, is was ice-bound on the Baltic during the most severe winter on record. By the time the small Finnish steamer was loose there were naval engagements on the Skaggerack because of the invasion of Norway, and the ship eventually nosed its way back to Finland. The consignment was unloaded in Helsinki, where it remained until the autumn of 1941, when the northern route from Petsamo was established.
The exhibition is being circulated by Blanche A. Byerley of Wilton, Conn.
Indians Swear Vengeance on Japs
Albuquerque, N. M. (UP)—The peaceful Jemex Indians, a tribe of farmers and cattle-raisers, have gone on the warpath against Japan to avenge the death of a white friend.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor at first had no effect on Indians who live in the green valleys and red rock canyons of the Jemez country.
It was a different story when they learned that Lieut. William Schick, formerly attached to the Army Air base here and a friend of the Jemez tribe, was a casualty at Pearl Harbor.
The elders of the mountain tribe called a council of war and proclaimed the tribe at war with the Japs.
Elk Moutain, war captain of the tribe, came to the air base to tell the army of the tribe's decision. Officers showed him the big bombers, and he learned that the "White Father" is avenging the death of the Indians' friend. Elk Mountain went back home and ordered the tribe to work harder and raise more sheep and cattle to help win the war.
Marshall Promoted to Rank Of Major in U.S. Army
Prof. T. H. Marshall, head of the department of chemical engineering, who has been on leave since the spring semester last year, has recently been promoted to the rank of major in the chemical warfare division of the U.S. Navy.
Major Marshall is stationed at Edgewood arsenal, near Baltimore, Md., where he is chief of the arsenal's design department.

Washington, March 4.—(UP)—Franklin D. Roosevelt, war President of the United States, today completed nine years in the White House.
The fight for human rights throughout the world is now the all-absorbing occupation of President Roosevelt, just as on March 4, 1933, when he was first inaugurated, the economic im

provement of the masses of his own country was the dominating theme.
Since the United States has the presidential system of government, with fixed terms of office, Roosevelt does not need periodically to go before Congress for a vote of confidence, as does his colleague, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of England.
Nobody in history has been President of the United States as long as Roosevelt. He shattered all precedents in 1940 when he ran for a third term, and defeated the Republican candidate, Wendell L. Willkie, by 449 to 62 electoral votes. Until then it was the unwritten tradition that no President should serve more than two terms of four years each, in accordance with the precedent set by the first President, George Washington.
The "war powers" which he enjoys under the Constitution and the many laws and proclamations are so vast that nobody really knows how powerful he really is.
Roosevelt's popularity here and abroad continues to be very high, his health is good, and there's every reason to believe he will serve out his three full terms. In fact, there are some Republicans who are worried over the possibility that in 1944 he may feel impelled to break another precedent, and seek the Democratic nomination for the fourth time.
Under the spirit of "war unity" now prevailing, Congress is inclined to grant Roosevelt all he needs in the line of appropriations and supplementary legislation connected with the war effort. However, Congressmen still make a show of maintaining their independence when dealing with regional issues, or questions or agriculture, rivers and power.
As he begins his tenth year in office, Roosevelt is more and more occupying the role of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. He is the supreme director of the United States war effort, and not only deals with the large scale aspects of it, but occupies himself with much detailed matter.
Gets Congress' Support
For President
The two-party system of government is being maintained, and Republicans expect to wage strong contests for many seats in the House of Representatives and some in the Senate in the legislative elections of November. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to "rally around the President," and reduce the intensity of political divisions which normally prevailed.
Roosevelt's career, as a man who strongly fought for social reforms, improved living conditions for the masses, and then became leader in a war against the totalitarian states, undoubtedly will give him a place in history beside the great Presidents of the past-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson.
One of "Great" Presidents
The fortunes of war, and the manner in which the peace is settled, will naturally have a profound effect on the degree of importance which will be ascribed to his occupancy of the Presidency.

be about 1300 students. Attendance at the second four-week session should be about 700 (370 of the 1779 voters plan to attend; the poll was circulated to about one-half the student body; therefore, using the same ratio, attendance should be slightly over 700.) Of the 1779 voters, 595 announced their intention of coming to the regular eight-week summer courses.
