ART HELD NOBLE
BY EMIUACOUES
Dark Green of Douglas Fir
Displeases Artist
LOCAL SCENES PAINTED
University Too Dependent
on Eastern Methods
“Art ia the noblest expression of
a people—it ia the criterion of its
degree of civilization.” So says
Emil Jacques, Belgian painter,
whose exhibition of paintings in the
little museum in the arts building
has caused so much interest during
the past week. The exhibit opened
Wednesday evening, January 9, for
two weeks, though Mr. Jacques
himself left for Portland on Fri
day.
“I like very much the country,”
Mr. Jacques says of Oregon. “But
the trees—I don’t like them.” His
blue eyes twinkled, and he shook his
blonde Van Dyke beard.
Paints Columbia Highway
Used as he is to beauty of a differ
ent sort, he dislikes the uniformity
of fir trees in vast forests. “They
have always, in every season of tho
year, the same dark green,” he said
of the colors. Mr. Jacques has
been trying his hand at painting
Oregon scenes, however, and there
are four or five in the exhibition.
He enjoyed tho Columbia highway,
particularly the view of the river,
J>ut there, too, he declared that the
beauty is hidden behind the trees—
a beauty of rock formations of
varying tones.
That the' University is tho
“cradlo of Oregon art expression,”
Mr. Jacques firmly believes. If
there is any criticism,1 lie considers
that wo are too dependent not only
on Europe, but on the east, for our
art standards.
New Man in New Land
“An art expression must come
out of a people itself,” ho declares.
“The more it is encouraged from
the University the more it will
grow.” Ho says that the people
must have a feeling for their own
country, their own traditions, be
fore they can do any form of art
honestly. It is that spirit of up
precaution of place that ho is at
tempting to Inculcate in his stu
dents in Portland. And so we find
this portly little man, who once
painted the sunny fields of Plund
ers, the Belgian and Dutch peasan
try, and the idyllic villages about
Vpres, destroyed during tho war,
sotting out in middle life to start
anew in a new country. Since Mr.
Jacques lost his wife during tho
war ho is indeed quite alone
equipped, however, with a brave and
undiscouraged viewpoint, and his
beloved paint brushes.
ALPHA BETA CHI WINS
FROM PHI DELTA THETA
Hajidball Games in League D Hotly
Contested; S. A. E. Defeats
Alpha Tau Omega
In league C, of the handball
tournament, Alpha Beta Chi
triumphed over Phi Delta Theta in
two straight games “1 11, 21-19.
The Alpha Beta Chi team was Bur
ton and Norman, while the Phi
Dolts had Hinkle and Fraser. The
games were hard fought and espoc
ially in the second tilt when tho
losers threatened to tie the score.
The league D contest was hotly
contested with the P. A. P.'s taking
two games out of three from the
A. T. O.’s by scores of 21-17, 19-21,
21-18. Each house won a game anrl
a third one was necessary to decide
the winner of the match. The two
sides were very evenly matched
with the winners making a spurt
in the fnial game and annexing the
necessary points to win. Crandall
and Parks formed the team for the
winners, and Dawson and Easterday
for the losers.
Kappa Sigma won the opening
game of the doughnut handball
tournament Tuesday afternoon when
it defeated the Phi Sigma Pi team
in a hard fought match. This was
the first match in league A and the
Kappa Sigs captured the initial
game 21 to 15, and were forced to
extend themselves in the second
contest, finally winning the game
21 to 18 and with it the match.
Mautz and Bliss formed the win
ning pair, and Greene and Trow
bridge were the Phi Sigma Pi re
presentatives.
The Beta’s team, composed of
Beatie and Westergren, was forced
to play sensational handball to win
from the Phi Gamma Delta team,
made up of Goodell and King, in two
contests, 21-19, 21-19. Both games
were unusually close and were only
decided after some very hot play
by both sides. The games for to
morrow will be:
League A—Sigma Pi Tau vs. Phi
Kappa Psi.
l eague B—Baclielordon vs. Ore
gon Club.
PROBATION LIST SHOWS
MARKED IMPROVEMENT
Students Flunking Out May Petition
For Readmittance After
Nine Months Absence
Eighty-two students in the Univer
sity are on probation under the sev
enteen hour rule for failure to make
nine scholastic hours last term. Of
this number sixty eight aro men and
fourteen women. At this time a year
ago over a hundred students were
placed on probation and this year’s
number indicates an improvement in
general. Although thirty three stu
dents flunked out of college entirely,
this number is also less than that of
the students who were dropped at the
end of the fall term of 1922.
Students who flunked out of tho
University are permanently dropped
except in cases where they petition
successfully to be readmitted after
•nine months have elapsed. Those
cases are fow, however, and the toll
of the three hour rule is gradually
decreasing to the figures of the last
| two years.
Those wno aro now on probation
are required to make a total of seven
teen hours during tho fall term and
the present one in order to bo rein
stated in the University.
JOINT MEETING TO BE
IN GUILD HALL TODAY
Women’s League and Y. W. Will
Hear Reports of Student
Volunteer Convention
Three of the delegates to the
student volunteer convention, held
in Indianapolis during tho Christ
mas vacation will speak at a joint
meeting of the Young Women’s
Christian Association and Women’s
league, which will be held in Guild
hall this afternoon at 5 o’clock.
Mary Bartholomew, who attended
the conference ns a delegate of the
1 oung Women’s Christian Associa
tion, Women’s league, and the
faculty women of the Universitv,
will give a report. Mary Donald
son and Edith Howe, who attended
tho convention also, will make
short reports.
A brief business meeting of the
Women’s league will be held at the
beginning of the meeting.
FIVE WOMEN’S HOUSES
LEAD OREGANA DRIVE
Alpha Chi Omega is First
Group Over the Top
With the cio.se of the first day '
of the Oregana drive, Myron Shan
non, business manager, announces
that five women’s houses on the
campus have subscribed 100 per cent
and a great many more only lack
a few to go over the top.
Alpha Chi Omega stands first ,on
the list, as it subscribed its 100
per cent quota before noon yester
day. Other houses whose whole!
membership have paid its $2.501
initial fee are: Alpha Delta Pi,
Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Xi
Delta and Alpha Phi.
Kappa Omicron, Pi Beta Phi, Tau 1
Nu, Hendricks hall, and Sigma Pi ,
Tau each have only a few sub
scriptions yet to make before going
over the top 100 per cent.
Owing to the fact that several
students did not have the oppor- 1
tunity to take advantage of the
drive yesterday, the booth will re- I
main in front of the library until |
noon today before closing. This is j
positively the last chance that stu
dents will have to subscribe for ^
the year book.
“The Oregana cannot afford,”
says Mr. Shannon, “to have more 1
books printed than orders have
been placed for, and it is therefore j
up to the members of the student
body to place their orders at once
in order to make sure they will get
a copy. It is also necessary that
at least 1,200 copies be ordered in j
order to hold the drive down to j
$4.50.”
No definite estimates have been
made of the number of books sold
upon the campus yesterday, al
though at the booth in front of the
library 180 wore sold. “If you
haven’t the money yourself, no
doubt your room-mate has, so sub
scribe now and you won’t be sorry
afterwards,” is the word the busi
ness staff wishes to leave with the
students.

more in the geology department of

While walking on the beach, Cala
?han found a rock about twice the j
iize of a man's read, in which were
several pieces of bone. He brought
it to the University and upon el
imination, after it had been cleaned
ind the rock chipped off, the bone
was found to be the back of a skull
of a toothed whale. T|ie front
of the skull and the lower jaw
ire missing, so the entire skull can
not be reconstructed. This is the
second specimen of a whale’s skull :
;hat has been found near Newport,
out the two specimens in no way i
resemble each other, as the first
was of a toothless creature. This
lew specimen brings some informa
ion as to the ancestry of the mod
:rn toothed whale.
A number of fossils from the
Miocene period of several million
ears ago have been found on this
>eacli from time to time.
