Dunn Display Being Shown At Libe Now Contains Many Different Poses of Washington Great Variation in Contour and Expression in Works of Each Artist A display of reproductions of protraits of George Washington from the personal collection of Frederic S. Dunn, professor of; Latin, is now being shown at the library. The 12 American postage stamps which bear the picture of the “father of his country” in com memoration of the bi-centennial of his birthday are shown with the portrait copy from which the prints were taken. The poses, dress and age of the famous man are as varied as the rainbow of colors chosen for the stamps taken from them. One picture is a full-length painting of Washington when a boy. It was done by John Trum bull, the general's aide-de-campe, in 1768. Below it is a copy of a lottery ticket signed by Washing ton when he was president of the 13 states. Attached to this same j picture is a reprint of a letter from him to Madison asking the j latter to frame an address which the president would be called upon to give in the near future. The head from this portrait is found on our 7 cent stamp, and the 6 cent stamp print of Washington in his general’s uniform, is also by Trum bull.. The original of this is now in the Yale university collection. A striking difference in expres sion and even contour is found in the works of different artists. The bust of the first president as done by Jean Antoine Houden in 1785 j can hardly be recognized as the | same man shown in the portrait painted by William Williams in 1784. That the intervening years, even in the life of a harrassed statesman, could bring about such complete facial change is hardly plausible. The front view of the illustrious leader in the lacy neckpiece and dress coat of the time as done by Gilbert Stuart is perhaps the best known of any portrait. It is the picture which is on the 2 cent stamp. Four of 14 portraits done by Charles W. Peale are repro duced on stamps, the one on the 3 cent stamp being taken from a painting of the general while at Valley Forge. ASUO MEETING HELD IL LEGAL; TO TRY AGAIN (Continued from I'ar,e One) upon the call of the executive council on its own initiative or upon the petition of 200 mem bers, provided that 24 hours no tice shall be given of any spe cial meeting by publication of said notice in the Oregon Daily Emerald.’ “The record shows, and the stu dent president of the Associated Students of the University of Ore gon admits, that the technical re quirement that '24 hou^s notice shall be given of any special meet ing by publication of said notice in the Oregon Daily Emerald’ was not fulfilled. In fact, no notice of the meeting was ever published in the Emerald. “The committee has taken into 1 consideration the fact that the stu- j dent president, Mr. Robert Hall, was ill for several days preced ing the meeting and the failure to publish the notice is probably thereby explained. Further, the committee is aware of the fact that a very large number of stu dents, undoubtedly many in excess of 500, which is necessary to con stitute a quorum as required by article II, section 3, was in atten dance at the meeting. Neverthe-j less, the constitutional provision as to notice is clear and unequivocal, and a decision other than that ren dered by the committee would con stitute an abrogation of the con stitution. “However, because of the sig nificance of the proposed amend ments to the A. S. U. O. consti tution which were read at the ir regular meeting the committee de sires to call attention to the fact that unless 500 students attend the next special meeting called in ac cordance with the constitution, it will be impossible for the students j to vote on said amendments this quarter. . . .” Hall said last night that a slight technicality had been overlooked in the calling of Friday’s meeting. His complete statement: "The amendments offer obvious improvements over our present j constitution. It is essential to the best interests of the student body that they be voted upon and passed before the end of this term, since one of the main advantages is the great improvement in the manner of conducting A. S. U. O. and class elections. “A special meeting has been called by the executive council for 1 o'clock on Thursday at the Music building. At this meeting the pro posals will be read and discussed thoroughly. "Show that you are actively in terested in your student govern ment and attend this meeting A quorum of 500 members is needed. James D. Barnett Blushes in Chapel Over Theft of Bell r)R. JAMES D. BARNETT did not steal the college bell clapper! The well-known professor of law and political science yester day declared that he had not purloined the tongue of the car illon at the College of Emporia back in 1888. Defending him self before his 8 o'clock class in city government (eight strong), Dr. Barnett maintained that he had turned red in chapel at mention of the theft merely be cause the president had glared at him. Sophisticated students of the section are inclined to believe Dr. Barnett's contention an ex cellent example of the doctrine of self-incrimination, but as to who stole the bell-clapper— well, that's another story.

LINDSTROM REMARKS ON BRISTOL CASE (Continued from Page One) the medical school Tor instance. And, so far as I know, the faculty generally has been well satisfied. Although there was a little talk of your charging too much, but I knew as well as you that the charges were on the whole quite reasonable. “So far as your general conduct is concerned, the main complaint I have to make is your going ahead on your own initiative with matters which should first have been referred to the business of fice. The instance of Timperlake, for example.” Domas says in reply: “If there were an iota of truth in the statement that complaints of tardiness poured in, how does it happen that not once did any body reprimand me on that ac count? It is clear that the wor thies who spoke disparagingly of my work were not particularly anxious for an investigation of their charges." The Timperlake incident, stated Domas, referred to the activities of a man named Timperlake, a salesman for the equipment com pany. Timperlake, he says, made a habit of coming into the plant and working over the machines. Domas wrote the home office ex pressing dissatisfaction with what he considered interference. “The result,” said Domas, “was Timperlake and Lindstrom came down to the office soon after and the former stated in the course of our discussion: “ ‘You made it necessary for me to get in touch with several old time friends of mine, who were forced to take up much of Chan cellor Kerr's valuable time ex plaining the situation to him.’ “Of course, Chancellor Kerr saw no necessity of hearing my side of the case,” said Domas. "And it i? only reasonable to expect the firm for which one is doing the buying to do everything in its power to maintain pleasant rela tions with every salesman seeking to transact business with it; other wise, it would be saving money, and who wants to save money now-a-days?” Mfl\A/ ANY SKAT, 15c HU ft Shows at 7-9 GRAND HOTEL Starts Thursday— HARLOW —GABLE RED DUST Starts Sunda>—First Kun— ' JACK OAKIE in j UPTOWN NEW YORK Subsidizing Said Still Practised for College Football In an interview broadcast re cently over an N. B. C. network of stations. Dr. Howard J. Savage, secretary of the Carnegie Founda tion for the Advancement of Teaching and author of its report on college football, declared that recruiting and subsidizing of ath letes still exists in American col leges, ana laid much of the blame i on the graduates who never grow up. and who think only of victory at any cost. “Tkey are the gentlemen who impair the moral fibre of young men by recruiting them, weaken ing their initiative, making them self - seeking and self - centered, causing them to barter their birthright as American boys for I a mess of athletic subsidies," Dr. Savage said. "I have opposed, and I hope I shall be able to con tinue to oppose, the doings of these men.” "To say tjiat any particular team or member of a team is sub sidized,” he said, "requires proof. Whether or not college editors have that proof is impossible to say without going into the matter at great length." Dr. Savage was interviewed by Captain Charles B. Scully, director of life saving of the American Red Cross. Ed Stanley, Bob Butler Win Colonial Passses Ed Stanley, senior, still holds first place on the list of Emerald reporters handing in stories for publication for the week ending February 28, and thereby contin ues a long unbroken string of vic tories in competition for Colonial theatre passes.

In his talk, which is the fourth of a series of lectures by the Uni versity faculty, Professor Erb will consider present problems and emergency proposals for economic relief, rather than long run eco nomic planning. He will summar ize what he considers the best plans for economic relief which have yet been made, and the pro posals which he thinks give the promise of the most constructive and the quickest results. This series of lectures, which was begun February 8, one being given every week, is an annual project of the committee on free intellectual activities. The lectures, while not too difficult for the av erage student, are intended to be interesting to advanced students and to the faculty. Admission is free. The series will be concluded next week, with Dr. L. S. Cressman speaking on “Some Anthropologi cal Problems of the Pre-History of the Pacific Northwest.” Alpha Kappa Delta Has Talk on State Medicine At a combined social and busi ness meeting of Alpha Kappa Del ta, national sociology honorary, held at the Pi Phi house, “Tlje Costs of Medical Care” was dis cussed by Miss Katherine Morse and Miss Gwendolyn Shepard. Various phases of state medicine were discussed by the speakers and the group. The talk was a result of work done by a commit tee which was appointed earlier in the year. Alpha Kappa Delta has made several studies in current social problems and uses these investi gations as a basis for their meet ings. Miss Zulieme Tibbetts is president of the organization. Ancient Pottery on Display In Old Library Show Case A little, crudely-made jug, about four inches long, with a tiny open ing at the top—used by the an cient Carthaginians to weep into, and to place, filled with tears, on the graves of their dead as an of fering! Such is the description of the “tear jug,” one of the pieces of ancient pottery now on exhibit in the glass case in the center of the old libe. These exhibits which were put on display Tuesday morning and will remain a week, are the prop erty of Dr. A. R. Moore, physiol ogy professor who recently was appointed visiting professor in To huku university at Sendai, Japan. Dr. Moore, who has been collect ing pottery for' the last ten years, has one of the best collections in the West, some of his pieces dat ing 2400 years ago. One of the most valuable and beautiful pieces is a small jug with black painted designs which was found in Athens. According to an authority on the subject, who was consulted by Dr. Moore, this jug was painted about 470 B. C., by the same painter who designed the famous Yale cup, now in the Yale museum. Although the name o'f the painter is unknown, all his work can be recognized by cer tain characteristic features. An other artistic Vvmrk is a seventh century B. C. limestone head, chis elled so carefully and so well de signed that it surpasses much mod ern art. "An ash tray!" was the exclam ation heard as one observer looked at the object on the left hand side of the case. And indeed it does resemble an ash tray but, no, it is a lamp, used in the sixth century B. C. At that time artificial light could be made only by pouring ol ive oil into a container, inserting a wick, and lighting that. A cere monial lamp, of Roman or early Christian times, which is also on exhibit, was used in the same way, but is shaped smaller, higher, and more round. The oldest piece in the collec tion is a jug from Cyprus, which is judged to be a relic of the bronze age, about 2000 B. C. It is the kind of pottery known as incised ware; and is much better propor tioned than one would naturally expect in pottery made almost ‘ four thousand years ago. Mansfield To Lead Symphonic Group The National Symphonic Sing ers, an all-soloist ensemble under the direction of Carroll K. Mans field, will be heard in concert Fri day evening at 8:15 at the First Methodist Episcopal church under the auspices of the Wesley founda tion. This group of singers offers something that has not been heard before in choral music, because its members have been trained to give an impression of symphonic music through the projection of the voice. The concert is free to Uni versity students and faculty mem bers, although a free-will offering will be taken for the benefit of the Wesley foundation and to defray the expenses of bringing these singers from Portland. The National Symphonic Singers are heard every Sunday evening over radio station KGW. This is their first appearance in Eugene. Noble Receives Public Pamphlets A set of interesting public docu ments on the present government in Manchuria has recently been received by Dr. Harold G. Noble, assistant professor of history.

These pictures will be placed on display by Dr. Noble in the Warner library in Gerlinger hall. Students interested in the present crisis will find these pic tures quite illustrating.
