BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 9 The New Books One of the newest additions to the English Reading Room library is the book Woodrow Wilson , a picture story by Gerald W. Johnson. The book tells the story of the great peace crusader's life with emphasis upon the part spent in pub- lic life. The first chapter is an account of his life before his entrance into politics, and the succeeding chapters tell the story of his political career with pictures and explanatory captions, The author gives without prejudice Wilson's faults and those qualities which made him a great man. The details of the tremendous wave of enthusiasm which greeted Wilson on the European continent as well as the tragedy of Wilson's tour of this country' to defend the League of Nations are brought out. This book is well worth the effort spent to read it, for many little known details of Wilson's life are told. The pictures and cartoons are particularly good. They depict.practically every event of impor- tance in Wilson's political life as well as many lesser ones. Woodrow Wilson is written in an easy manner and can be read in approximately three hours. -.T asf---,IU . 1 -I . 1 i r ' . :-itil .- ' V 1 1 Ulf- '.Z-.

TH E DEAN'S OFFICE The dean wishes to commend Mr. Stewart, faculty- adviser, Byron Bur- gess, president of the sophomore class, and the committee for the splendid job they did in planning, and carrying out the plans for the Freshman-Sophomore Picnic. Registration for the first semester closes Saturday, 'October 'l. Anyone knowing a possible student who is hesitant should speak to him, since it is very advantageous to enter the college the first semester as the begin- ing of many subiects are not offered the second semester. On the campus within the next few days there will be some young women, members of the first class of nurses to enter St. Monica's Hospital. Most of these will be memberstof the Cadet Nurses Corps, who for the first se- mester will receive most of their train- ing on the campus by virtue of a co- operative plan which was worked out during the summer. Sophomores who plan to graduate next May should file their graduation petitions with Mr. Monroe in the Reg- istrar's office before 5 o'clock Monday. xx .ff The runner-up after a rugged bat- tle of wits and hard work, Mr. Arthur Phelps, NOT talking about the litmus. ti ' V -i ea, it V ABOUT THE MOVIES tThis week Bear Tracks inaugurates a new series of composite movie reviews with the summary of leading magazines' reviews of the movie Wilson . These reviews will con- tain no opinion of any staff member, but are based on the opinions of magazine movie crit- ics. lt will be the policy ot this department to offer review: to the students of P. J. C. of all of the important movies before they come to Phoenix.-Ed.l Wilson is not great, but it is an en- tertaining and absorbing film. The makers of Wilson have gentled, simplified, and softened Wilson's character in every possible way. fFrom Timel Woodrow Wil- is shown chiefly in his family's' bosom, and the picture succeeds in showing that a man who was stiff and chilly in public could be warm and gay in private. CFrom The New Yorkerl. Wilson conveys little of the feeling of terror of the World War. The millenial, piteous surge of hope that took Wilson to Paris has been reduced to nothing, tFrom The Nationl. Nothing is shown of the American people as a motivating political force, and Wilson seems to op- erate in a political vacuum. fFrorn Timel. Manny Farber said in The New Re- public that the major events of Wilson's life such as his trip to Paris, the Ver- sailles Treaty, and his fight for the League of Nations are slighted, and the insignifi- cant events are made to seem important. He said that Colonel House, who plays a significant role in Wilson's career, is hardly in the filrn, and two minor char- acters, a cheerleader and an economics professor from Princeton, are highly over- rated. Wilson leaves three false impres- sions. The first is that the United States had nothing but the highest moral aims and actions in the First World War. The second one is that the Germans are in- curable gangsters who will never get over the idea of world conquest. The last one is that the whole affair of Versailles was a vague incident in which Wilson argued nobly and without opposition with Clem- enceau. There is no hint that the Treaty of Versailles was unjust and unbenevo- lent or that anyone was sold out. One of the good parts of the film is the news- reel account of the World War. fFrom The New Republici. Wilson is a pageant-like Technicolor show with its many elaborate sets accu- rately checked for authenticity. It is one handsome group photograph after an- other. tFrom The New Yorkeri. PM recommends Wilson as a picture every American should see and ran the script serially. W
