You are reminded—

Do You Read "Le Carabin"?

You are reminded that Salient room in the Gym is open each Friday evening during term, from seven to seven-thirty, for the express purpose of affording students an opportunity of reading our exchange copies of news-sheets received from New Zealand, Australia and Canadian universities. Where several copies of a journal are received a copy may be borrowed.

We present a few tit-bits from recent issues. Craccum (Auckland, 30th August) runs an interesting article on university life in Czechoslovakia, with special reference to the Charles University in Prague. Mention of this country reminds us that it is the subject of a controversy at present raging in Farrago (Melbourne, July 12th. July 27th, August 8th). The bone of contention: "Was the Republic betrayed to Germany by Catholic treachery from within?" This might be valuable material for our history students. For those of our readers who are musically inclined we recommend an article, "What's wrong with music?" in Critic (Otago, June 22nd) by Dr. Galway.

Students considering a language for their B.A. course should make a point of reading an article in Critic of May 4th. Dr. Grayeff gets away from the better known pros and cons to make a plea for languages as a "training in thought" Mention of foreign languages reminds us that both La Rotonde (Ottawa) and Le Carabin (Laval University, Quebec) are regularly received, and provide some useful French reading practice. Blondes and brunettes, anxious as to the temptations being faced by their "beaus," doing air training in Canada, may be interested in "La femme canadienne-francaise" in La Rotonde (May 4th).
