Students Reject Assembly Talk Of S. Grathwell Foreign Element Heel urea Speaker Gave One-sided Word-pielure of China Indignant comments denyiny tin* rather unlovely word picture of China painted by Sam Clrathwell, lecturer and traveler, ?it the Tliurs I day assembly, were heard on the i campus yesterday. Especially have ' the foreign students, who are more or less acquainted with conditions of the Orient, taken up the sword against < i rath well. Tlio Emerald has received several letters censuring him for telling of China’s ‘‘rotten money system” . . . filthy sewage conditions . . . the dirt and squalor of a Chinese village. lie told of the buying of wives for a few pounds of rice. China, he said, was the victim of avarice, a condition hinging on the poor fi nancial status. • "I wish to comment on Mr. Crath well’s speech,*’ writes lien Padilla, “ . . . time and again foreign speak ers try to present other countries which they have semi for a short tinie% with the result that they show only one side, the bad one. “What did Mr. (Jrathwell try to tell the audience,” he continues. “The realistic China.1 Xo! lie told of tin* unfortunate China, the land when* the foreign devils are boring in. lie is inducing other nations to join the feast. “lie tried to justify the foreign occupation in China by putting the old argument, that, foreigners have tin* right to govern them and bully j them.

The nrtiele is written from Chi eago and eoneerns the reorganiza tion of the University of Chicago’s library system by Ur. Ulowellyn. Haney, until recently head of the John Hopkins university library, and nationally known as an expert on educational library systems. Dr. Rnnev believes that extreme centralization, and extreme decen tralization are both disadvanta geous, and is working out a plan whereby the University of Chicago library will be divided into sections. At one end of the campus will be a. concentration of all books dealing with the humanities, and at the other end a. collection of all scien tific works. Douglass’s Viewpoint M. II. Douglass, university librar ian, lias ideas of bis own about tlie ideal universily library arrange ment. “Tbe University of Chicago's library system is notorious because of ils extreme decentralization,” be said. “ 1’raetieally every School and department lias ils own little li brary. Consequently students inter ested in several subjects are obliged to go to several places on tbe cam pus for (heir reference work. Ap parently, Ur. Raney lias been called ill to remedy matters, and lie lias chosen a modification ol the decen tralized plan, which will possess smile advantages not lo be had with the extreme centralized form. “Here at Oregon we have been forced to adopt a. decentralized ays tom to considerable extent. Lack of adequate facilities in our main library building has forced us to (list rilmto many of oar liooks to Condon liall, the business adminis tration school, tho art school, and so forth. New Library Plan “But if we obtain the new library building called for in expansion plans of the university,” he went on, “we will probably place all boohs under the one roof except highly specialized volumes requiring constant reference by the students using them Law boohs and arclii- j teetural works will come under this' classification. “If most of the professors had their way,” Douglass said, “every .department would have its own ref erence library in its own building. This would be very convenient, for them, and for some students doing highly specialized work, but. for most students it would mean the bother of running from one place to another ort the campus to study. “But. even with that disadvan tage, the decentralized system would probably be the better of the two if it were not for the fact that the cost of operating it efficiently is prohibitive. A much larger force of employees is required to maintain a number of small libraries than one or two large ones. Also, there are many books that are used bv stu dents of several schools. Under the decentralized system, copies of the j volume would have to be supplied to each of the several libraries. “For instance there is a volume in our Condon hall library, a work on social psychology, which is listed as 'a text by students of education, social science, psychology and so ciology. If we had a separate li brary for each one of those schools we would have to have four times as many copies of the book as we have now.” Flies Resemble People, Declares Dr. Huestis; Alcohol Attracts Them You feed them on bananas, anil they reproduce so rapidly that it' they would all live, you would have thirty three trillion, seven hundred fifty billion and one at the end of a year. They have red eyes, yellow e\s, and pale cream-colored eyes. They have irrideseent wines, and some of them have wines like airplanes. Kneh one is approximately two and one half millimeters bio, from the tip of one wine to the tip of the other. They are flies that Hr. T?. T5. llnestis, associate professor of ani mal biology, and his students of genetics raise. “When you keep them a while, they get. to lie just like Tegular pets.'' explained Or. llnestis. “Yes, you get quite attached to them.’’ The students cross them to see how many different types of flies they run produce. Originally, tlie j \vi I■ I fly would havo say, yellow | eyes and straight wings. By cross- j i u g with a. taxi fly, a, brood could] ho produced which would have rod eyes and airplane wings. So much experimentation has been carried on, that now there are flies with dim or 400 different characteristics. The flics reproduce so fast be cause they complete their life cycles within two months. Suppose that the eggs are laid to day. By tomorrow night they would have hatched. Then they are larvae. (The larvae look like transparent gelatinous seals with black noses, only they haven't flippers; just squirm around— minute and tiny). After five days of crawling around eating, the larvae go into a pupa j stage. They remain in this stage ! for four days, and then hatch out— j adult flies.

It will remain here permanently. The doll was awarded the state of Oregon by the International Friend shift (.lommitt.ee of the Federated Churches of America. Tt. was brought to Eugene through the efforts of Harold S. Tuttle, professor of edu cation.
