Confucius, who lived from 551 479 B. C., established the school with the basic thought that society could only be saved by men of moral character, and by those set ting a good example for others to follow. Intelligence was consid ered of more importance than force. Confucius .also taught the maintenance of established ritual. Disciples Compared Several disciples of Confucius followed, each differing from their teacher in minor points. Two of these were Mencius, who believed that all men were good by nature, and Cheng-tzu, who believed that man was by nature evil and could only be educated into righteous ness. Taoism taught a minimum of organization, or the policy of “laissez faire.” Buddhism Discussed Mo-tlism counseled its followers that the way to heaven was to love all men. The Legalists advised the legis lation of lav/s adjusted to the needs of mankind, and a stern en forcement of these laws. Latourette described the advent of Buddhism and its dissimilarity to Confucianism. The former re ligion is subjective and pessimistic, while the latter is objective and optimistic. Rebec Heads Meeting Latourette concluded by com paring the attitudes of different races. “The Indian tries to forget the universe,” he said. “The white man tries to conquer the universe, and the Chinese tries to adjust himself to the universe.” After the lecture, Latourette an swered questions of the audience concerning Chinese philosophy. Dr. George Rebec, head of the University department of philos ophy, president of the meeting. All-American Girl Named Saturday At Soph Informal Margaret DeYoung Selected by Eastern Critics, Editors; Receives Cup Margaret DeYoung has been chosen as “All-American” girl of the Oregon campus. Her selection was announced at the sophomore informal dance last Saturday night at McArthur court, and brings to a close the contest sponsored by the Order of the O and University magazine. Eastern art critics and editors of the University magazine have been studying the photographs of the Fall Creek camp and the 3-C here, for the past month and acted as final arbiters in the contest. Miss DeYoung was presented during the dance with a large lov ing cup, which remains in her per manent possession. Inscribed on it is, “To the loveliest girl on the University of Oregon campus.” The winner is a sophomore art stu dent. Second to Miss DeYoung the judges named Betty Graham. The other finalists were Peggy Carper, Marian Bass, and Charlotte Eld ridge. The winners were chosen solely on the basis of the photo graphs, no recommendations being entered. Pi Lambda Theta Banquet in Honor Of Founder’s Day New Members of Group Initiated In Gerlinger; Dean Bovard Speaker at Meeting Pi Lambda Theta, women's edu cation honorary, held its annual founder’s day banquet at McCra dy's cafe Saturday night at 6:45. Preceding the banquet new mem bers were initiated in Gerlinger hall. Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, was the speaker cf the evening. Dr. Bovard’s topic was “Some Neg lected Features of Education.” Fifty members were present, two of them being out-of-town alumnae, Mrs. Helen Wilderman of Portland and Elizabeth Hall, who is teaching in the blind school at Salem. The evening opened with the Pi Lambda Theta song, followed by the candle ceremony in honor of the founders. Mrs. Wendell Van Loan gave the outline of the year’s program for work of the “Con servation of Education in Oregon Committee.” Alpha Kappa Psi Adds Eleven New Members Alpha Kappa Psi, men’s national professional commerce fraternity, initiated 11 new members Sunday morning in the men’s lounge of Gerlinger hall. The new members are Wayne Tyrell, Floyd Deeds, Donald Heis ler, Ralph Finseth, James Emmett, Edgar Perry, Howard Fox, Bruce Senders, Donald Farr, Tom Augh inbaugh, and Jack Kneeland. After the initiation the organi zation dined at the Anchorage. Dean Hoyt and Doctor Cornish were present. Guild Hall Gaieties to Offer Farce9 Chinese Grotesque The Guild Hall Gaieties, which are scheduled for next Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 and will feature as its first skit, after the opening ensemble number, a farce done in the Chinese style. Although this little bit is intend ed as a farce, it may be taken more seriously than surface ap pearances might seem to warrant. It is characteristic of the Oriental stage that mechanical precision of movement and gesture is used with great exactitude. Realism, as it is hown on the American stage, is foreign to them, since child-like simplicity in the handling of properties is one of their persist ent charactertistics. The Chinese Grotesque is done in this manner. There is present the gong-bearer, chorus, and prop erty man, whose ^technical func tions are equal in importance to those of the hero and heroine. The chorus man's job corresponds to that of the modern master of cere monies. However, instead of that person waving a baton, as does the average American master of cere monies, the chorus man waves a fan. A prince in disguise is our hero. He is the ideal youth; handsome, brave, and romantic. He is dis guised as a servant, and falls in love with the daughter of a proud and powerful mandarin. And the mandarin, no doubt with a long and stringy black mous tache, is thundering, cruel and self ish. He pursues the eloping lov ers “with dire results,” we are told. A very familiar figure in Ori ental drama is also present in Gro tesque. None other than the god of fate. This play would indicate that he has a sense of humor. The property man is almost con stantly present, and the audience is hereby informed that they are supposed to ignore him at all times. The truth is that he is usually the most important stage figure. It is hoped that the romantic natures of the audience will be stirred by the names of the hero ine, Kwen-Lin, and the hero, Chang-Sut-Yen. On the other hand, the coilegiate readers may like to know that Althea Peter son plays Kwen-Lin Friday night, and that Joyce Busenbark does the part Saturday night. In the part of Chang-Sut-Yen appear Bill Schloth Friday night, and Bill Thienes Saturday. —--— Creator of Christmas Seal Design T Tttbefcalosfs J I IsPrermMMe « ^uraMj Hans Axel Walleen, artist of Norwalk, Connecticut, on the left, is exhibiting liis finished design for the 1033 Christinas seal poster to Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis association, and Charles L.

Dean of Women Warns Girls About Lonely Campus Walks A warning to girls walking on the campus alone after dark was issued yesterday by Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women. Mem ories of “Jack the grabber” and various other campus prowlers were revived Friday night, when a young man leaped after an unsus pecting coed as she walked down the cement walk which leads at an angle westward from the Oregon Seal in front of Villard hall. The incident was reported to Dean Schwering through a Eu gene woman who had just crossed 11th avenue after descending the steps in front of Villard hall. It was about 8 o’clock, quite dark, and somewhat foggy. Small boys riding bicycles at apparent risk of life and limb attracted her atten tion to the peculiar, soft-footed leaps of the youth who was fol lowing the girl. Though she told herself that the boy probably was a practical-joking friend of the oblivious coed, the woman was suspicious enough to watch for further developments. Briskly, all unaware of impend ing danger, the girl walked past an evergreen tree whose heavy branches sweep the edge of the walk. The "snatcher” speeded up' his kangaroo-like leaps and threw or pulled the girl into the gloomy darkness of the branches. She screamed twice, but there was no one to hear, except, fortunately, the woman across the street. The woman ran quickly toward the struggling pair. The “grab ber” broke away and hurried off in the direction of the library ten nis courts. In the fog, the only clothing detail the woman was able to note was that he wore light trousers. The girl dazedly gathered up her books and her untouched purse and felt for the buttons which had been pulled off her leather jacket in the tussle. White-faced and trembling she stepped back onto the sidewalk, where she was met by her rescuer, who offered to walk home with her, but who gracious ly refrained from asking her name. So the name of the girl and the identity of the “grabber" remain unsolved mysteries. But the wet lawn is scraped obviously in at least two places, as mute evidence of the struggle. Though she would not unduly alarm students, since there is cer tainly not a prowler behind each (Continued on Page Three) Chicago Artist To Give Talk at ASUO Meeting Assembly Tomorrow in Gerlinger at 10 CLASSES DISMISSED ‘Development of American Taste' To Be Subject of Speech By Dudley Watson Dudley Crafts Watson, member ship lecturer of the Art Institute of Chicago, will address a student body assembly tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in Gerlinger hall.

Two Speakers Will Appear in Villard Tonight Slate First Talk at 7:30, Second at 8:15 SCHEDULE CHANGED Miss Rankin and Dr. Nakamura On Program; General Topic Foreign Relations Miss Jeannetle Rankin, first woman elected to the United States congress, and Dr. Kaju Nakamura, Japanese diplomat, will both speak at 7:30 tonight in tho Villard assembly hall. Miss Ran kin will be the first to address the group, her topic being “Interna tional Relations.'1 At approxi mately S:15, Dr. Nakamura will speak on “Japanese-American Re lations.” This arrangement has been made because of conflicting schedules of these two noted speakers. Miss Rankin, formerly of Mon tana, is now residing in Washing ton, L. C., where she is prominent in government politics. Since her term in congress she has worked persistently for the establishment of peace. She has attended the meetings of the assembly of the League of Nations, and for several years has been associate secretary for the National Council for Pre vention of War. Between sessions of congress she has organized for peace and spoken on the lecture platform. Dr. Nakamura is well known throughout the United States and abroad. He was formerly- director of the Fukutoka savings bank and of the National Marine Products company, and is now editor and publisher of a monthly magazine, Japanese Abroad. Nakamura has personally conducted six tours for travel and observation in Europe and the United States. He also organized the summer college of Oriental culture, con ducted at the Tokyo Imperial uni versity, intended to help aliens gain a better knowledge of Jap anese culture. Dr. Nakamura has secured for the faculty of this col lege, which opened in the summer of 1931, the services of outstand ing authorities in Japanese aca demic circles. During the summer of 1932 more than 100 American men and women registered for study courses in this college. Miss Rankin’s major interest is the prevention of war and the or ganization of the world on the i basis of the Briand-Kellogg pact. She graduated from the University of Montana and also attended the University of Washington and the New York School of Philanthropy. Teaches at Brown Ivan R. Taylor, who received his M.S. degree from the University in 1924 and who later earned a Ph.D. degree at the University of Pennsylvania, has a position as as I sistant professor of physiology at 1 Brown university at Providence. Miss Rankin Shows Interest In Varied Group of Activities Miss Jeannette Rankin, first wo man elected to the United States congress, who will speak tonight at 7:30 in Villard hall and tomor row, was born where women from the beginning have carried their full share of work and responsi bility and were first given the rights of citizens. Her early home was in Missoula, Montana, and she is a graduate of the University of Montana. She early in life became interested in the needs and problems of other parts of the country, for she stud ied at the University of Washing ton and the New York School of Philanthropy. She led and won the campaign for suffrage in her own state in 1914. In 1916 Miss Rankin was elect ed to congress as a republican while a democratic landslide was sweeping the country, her victory was therefore a personal tribute to her popularity. She cast her first vote in congress in April, 1917, when she voted against this coun try’s entrance into the war. Since her term in congress, Miss Rankin has worked persistently and fearlessly for the establish ment of peace. She was one of the prominent figures at the Interna tional Meeting of Women held si multaneously with the negotia tions of the peace treaty. She has attended the meeting of the As sembly of the League of Nations. She worked hard for the outlawry of war. While Miss Rankin’s major in terest is the prevention of war and the organization of the world on the basis of the Briand-Kellogg pact, she has many other inter ests. Her efforts both in and out of congress for humanitarian meas ures recently led a labor official to declare her record on such ques tions “better than one hundred per cent.” She is regarded as one of the most attractive women speakers on the public platform today. Her topics include “Disarmament and the Disarmament Conference,” “Implications of the Kellogg Pact,” and “How Public Opinion Can Promote Peace.” Tonight Miss Rankin will ad dress students at a meeting at 7:30 o'clock in Villard hall. She will ad dress a mass meeting of women students in Gerlinger tomorrow at 3 o’clock. This meeting will be fol lowed by an informal tea, at which (Continued on Page Three)
