...swim back up the Columbia River to spawn and die exactly where they started. The system, consists of 1) two separate "stairways" (of one-foot waterfalls separated by pools 16 ft. wide) for fish who feel like climbing to the headwaters under their own power; 2) four "lifts," somewhat similar to ship locks, for fish who prefer a free ride up. For several years controversy has raged between Government engineers, who said the system would work, and Oregon's $10,000,000 salmon industry, which faced ruin if it failed. This spring Bonneville's fish ladders were...
...life along strictly Nazi lines. Dominant in the official Nazi attitude toward music were: 1) the Nazi theories of race, 2) Nazi objections to all satirical, "unwholesome" or experimental types of art.

Therefore it will leave a concentrator much freer in his later years if he can get Anthropology A or 1 out of the way Freshman year. (Freshmen need permission of the instructor to take them.) Otherwise he will have to do some very intricate...
