LOW RATE ROUND TRIP FARES

By AL STOFFEL
George Evcnln is comparatively
young in years, but unquestionably
old In experience. This
Russian's varied life has led him
from the wide steppes of Bussla,
Siberia, inthrough icy, show-lade- n
to seething, sinister Manchuria.
there, the trial leads to busy
From
Japan, Yokahoma, and thence to
America, by way of a 33 day voyage
across the broad Pacific in an old
fashioned sailing schooner. From
Seattle, the trail swings downward,
halfway across the continent to
Chicago, pauses, and then turns
south, ending on the campus of the
University of Kentucky at Lexington.
George was sitting on the edge
of his bed in a room situated a few
blocks from the university campus,
as he talked. Any old world touch
at all was completely lacking in the
room, and every thing from the
modern wardrobe trunk to the pile
of school books on the study table,
was distinctly American.
Clad In a gay colored dressing
gown, and smoking a cigarette,
George himself looked like any
average American ready to spend a
quiet evening at home. "In Russia," he smiled, "to go to school is
like to work.
The first school is
for boys about 15 years old. Here
years of practical work
there Is four
In agriculture and general education."
George has a "bare speaking
acquaintance" with English, since
his efforts to master the language
date only , from September 1929,
when he enrolled in the university.
"The next school, as you say, corresponding to high school," he continued. "Here we go six years
mainly to learn all about cattle.
Also we have laboratory in chemistry and physics, and do all kinds
of work."
"Next we go to college like here in
United States. In summer, there is
practical work, and in winter we
have laboratory every day from 8
until 3. Everybody must stay in
nights, and three inspectors always
watch. At 7 o'clock they ring bell
which means to study. In these
schools it is, or should I say was
when I go there, 160 rubles a year
for board, clothing, room and books."
After leaving college as a full
fledged agriculturist, George followed his profession for some time in
Saratoff, a town in southern Russia, on the Volga river. Then came
the war, and two years of service in
the Russian army in Prussia and

times, and nearly lost his right arm
from blood infection.
"You see, my arm she Is a bit
crooked," he said pulling up his
sleeve.
"The doctor say he must
cut it off, but I say 'No. If you
cut it off then I am cripple, I cannot do my work.' So they send me
for' nine months fo a hospital in
Moscow, where they fix it up. Now
it is good and strong as ever."
In 1917 found Russia experiencing
the first bloodshed of the revolution.
In 1918 came the Bolshevist regime
with Trotsky as dictator, and in
1919, we find George in Siberia

His
superintendent over a large factory
situated in the heart of thousands
of acres of potato fields. In the
factory the juice of the potatoes
was used to make a kind of syrup.
"I never have seen so much cold
as in Siberia," says George. "Sometimes it gets so cold that I have seen
birds start to fly up into the air,
and then fall down, frozen to death.
In summer it is nice, but there is
too little summer."
Harbin, a city in Manchuria, was
the next harbor of this wandering
agriculturist.
Here great numbers
of white Russians have found refuge
from the Bolshevists, and red Russians. In Harbin, George found
employment in a Y. M. C. A. post.
A man named Mitchell was the secretary, and he was instrumental in
forming an organlzaton of young
Russians in Harbin for the purpose
of eventually finding ways and
means of sending them to the United States.
The organization grew by leaps
and bounds, and by dint of much
hard work, combined with pinching
and saving, the first group of Russian young men left Harbin in 1921.
Altogether there were eight groups
which left Harbin for America.
George came with the third group

In 1923, or

rather, started out with
the third group.
This particular group was composed of 80 men, and left Harbin in
March, 1923. The first leg of the
journey was to go to Japan to await
an English steamer which was to
take the group to America. However, through some misunderstanding the steamer left before the
group arrived at Yokahomo, the
port of departure, and the band of
80 young Russians were left more or

money to take another boat, but
Oeorge lacked 150 yen of the required amount.
"Then we knew not what to do,"
continued George, shrugging his
shoulders. "I was with two friends
and none of us talk Japanese. We
looked for a Y. M. C. A., and find
one where the secretary was very
kind to us. He called all the steamship places for to get us a job on a
ship to America. Finally he found
us a job, not on a boat with steam,
but one with sails.
"It was a very tough boat, a very
rotten one. All the .men were bad,
and they made fun of us. We had
no experience so they made us do
the bad Jobs. The first time they
send us up on the masts, I am so
afraid that I never lookdown. For
ten days we had good weather, and
then came a storm, I think you
call it a typhoon.

think the men too tough to die. I
never hope for such a trip again in
all my life.
"For 3 days we sail to America
Some times we would go fast when
the wind blow, but most the time I
think we stand stllL After while
we learn something about the boat
so we could work better, and things
were not so bad. Finally we came
to Seattle."
In Seattle, the young Russians
were helped by a priest of the Rus
sian Orthodox church, Alexander
Vitchisloff, who had helped some of
the other groups upon their ar
rival. Because of George's experience as an argrlculturist, he was
able to get a job in the large apple
orchards, picking the fruit, and
pruning trees. Next came a Job in
a coal mine, then a Job pressing
clothes.
"After while, some friends of mine
tell me I should come to Chicago. I
do not speak any English yet, for
all the time in America I am with
Russians. In Chicago I find Russians again, and get a job as porter
in Mandel's store. Then through a
friend I get in at the International
Harvester Company, as a factory
laborer, where I worked for two
years.
"T can still spetk no English, so
I see I am getting no where. So I
decide to come to school. How did
I happen to choose Kentucky? Well,
Mr. Blumenthal, a Russian who is
a teacher at Culver Military Aca
demy, said I should not go to Il
linois, 'as there are many Russians
and I should not learn to speak
English as well as if I go to school
where there are none of my peo
Die. So here I am at Kentucky."
George is taking
work at Kentucky, with view to be
coming a physician. . He is master
ing English with amazing speed, and
even writing themes in a Freshman
English course he is taking. As far
as Russia is concerned that part of
his life is a closed book, except for
memories. He says he has become
thoroughly "Americanized," and has
made a permanent home in "the
land of the spree, and the home of
the shave."

Students Fail
To Heed University Rules

Sleepy-Eye- d

The University has been forced
to return to customs of old. Our
campus is now covered with brush
fences, built at the request of University officials, to keep thoughtless
students from making "pig paths"
over the beautiful blue grass sod.
Sleepy-eye- d
students, weary from
duties possibly other than studies,
leave the walks and stroll over the
campus on their way to class. Like
great herds of cattle on a western
plain they take to the grass. Signs
do no good, only some entanglement such as fallen trees and brush
can halt them from invasion.
Much improvement has been made
on the campus within the past year
and now it seems that everything
Is being done by the student body
to reverse the situation. Large
sums of money have been spent to
bring the campus up to its present
condition.
