are distinguished from the petit-
bourgeoisie; and the 'small bandit
populace still remains secluded in
their mountain cache. The preasants
still live off the profits derived from
driving their goods to the little but
beloved market in the public square.
While the working classes are oc
cupying the majority of the big cot
tages which have been turned into
sanatoriums under the direction of
the Commissariat of Public Health,
th^ “government servants” occupy
the remainder of the big cottages,
and these two groups are kept up by
the Nepmen who reside in the big
hotel which resembles the Commis
sariat but which is used for the aid
of the other two classes of commons.
One engineer said that “The gov
ernment is what stands in the way of
the economic and cultural revival
of Russia; and yet Russia would have
been the worse off had it not suffer
ed the effects of the revolution. The
policy of the Bolsheviks, extreme as
they were, prevented the return of
the old regime.”
One dark-haired, black-eyed gentle
man with a swarthy complexion and
great big, dangerous looking nose of
those Caucasus mountain races said:
‘‘Russia has its god and bad points.
Amiong its bad is its loss of freedom.
In America you can kill a man and
go free; even in Finland you can kill
u Russian if you have twenty gold
rubles; in other places if you hate a
man, you can kill him; but in Russia
if you kill a man, the government
comes right along and kills you.”
Mr. Eastman’s talk will be on
“Russia and the Bolsheviks.”
ROOM RENT RAISED
(Continued from Page 1)
rent at a maximum of $60 which is
not to be increased further.
The Board, together with the ad
ministrative officials of the College,
agreed to charge this room-rent with
great reluctance, as it was brought
up that such an increase in the a-
mount to register would make a hard
ship on some of the students. “But,”
Dr. Walton said, “since there is lit
tle or no chance of the State Legis
lature appropriating any more funds
for building dormitories, this is the
only way in which we could see to
build adequate i - oom for the students
now and the ones to come in later
years.”
This money will be put aside for
the specific use of building dormi
tories and will be used for no other
purpose.
