Oriental Fiction, Fairy Tales Fill Shelves in GerUngcr Hall Few students are aware of the fact that an extensive collection of hooks on China and Japan was presented to the University by Mrs. Murray Warner in conjunction with the museum of oriental art. The library containing these books is located in the northeast corner of Gerlinger hall on the third floor. Jt is open from 2 until 5 in the afternoon on Monday until Friday inclusively. Included in the collection are fic tion books dealing with the orient, translations of old Chinese and Japanese classics, volumes of Jap anese prints and other forms of art, books on travel, histories, and oriental magazines. Not only the artistic but the educational, eco nomic, political, and financial phases of the orient are dealt with. Even fairy tales for children are to be found in the collection. Of special interest to the people of today are tales of the forbidden city of China, which had been closed to the outer world for centuries until a few years ago. Princes-; Dor Ling, who spent two years in the royal palace at Peking, has written several books upon her experiences in the court surround ings, the intrigues and plots that are never lacking in royal circles, and the court rules and ceremonies. The library takes about 27 peri odicals such as “Asia,” "Far East ern Review,” "Antiques,” and "Contemporary .Japan.” Current literature of the politics, art, drama, and other fields of oriental life are, accordingly, available to all students. Rare and valuable art books have been brought to the library from China and Japan by Mrs. Mur ray Warner. These are kept in locked cabinets, but are brought out at the request of any student who is interested in them. Women Debaters To Speak Sunday Frances Mays, Betty Brown, Mary Nelson, and Eileen Donaldson, members of the women's debating team, will open the debate pro gram for this year next Sunday evening. They will appear at the weekly Sunday evening forum of the Presbyterian church, James A. Carrell, coach of the team, stated today. “What Form of Public Regula tion of the Movies Should Be Adopted,” The question will be pre sented by the symposium or non partisan debate system. This dis cussion will examine the effect of moving pictures upon the public and will consider the effectiveness of various means of control, forms of censorship, etc. Questions and discussion from the floor will fol low the presentation of the prob lem. Members of the women’s debat ing team are: Helen Harriman, Mary Nelson, Eileen Donaldson, Wilhelmina Berot, Betty Tubbs, Betty Brown, Laurene Brocks chink, Frances Mays, and Marjorie Sunstrup. The next appearance scheduled for the women's debate squad is at Junction City before the P.T.A. They will go there the evening of February 5. Iliddea (Observers (Continued from I'qQC One) higher gallery got their money's worth or not. And that swaying back and forth by the sweet young things in the pink dresses failed to impress us as having any dramat ic qualities worthy of note. The piano duet, so ably rendered, provided us with a moment’s lei sure during which we munched a sandwich provided for the occa sion. The sandwich was really very vital, since without it we should leave been obliged to undergo the forthcoming inquisition on an emp ty stomach. The house was so full that it was necessary for us to ar rive at 5 p. m. in order to secure adequate seats in the high bul cony. Another skit, likewise admirably executed or should we say mas sacred came to a healthy climax with tHe singing of "Mighty Ore gon." using a parody on t lie words which could cause pandemonium in the breast of the composer. We observed with interest the splendid diversity of form and cos tume on display at the event. Ev eryone from Mahatma Gandhi to the Dionne sisters were represent ed. Those little maids with the cellophane attachments which bobbed past our line of vision at intervals, were most, inconsiderate in that they refused to pose long enough to be recorded by our in struments. Frankly, we'd like to see more of that. The music of the orchestra reached us but faintly. We were able however, to make out the fact that the members of this organiza tion had sold their birthright as he-male men and came garbed in the most atrocious makeups.. These, we understand, were sup posed to disguise them so that even their colleagues would never recognize them. All in all, they treated us very nicely. After all, you can’t blame the little ladies for being some what embroiled when they discov ered that two heartless wretches had secreted themselves in the pro jection booth for the purpose of recording on film the solemn oc casion. No one will ever be able to convince that little cop who orated through the closed door, that our motives were anything ,short of downright villainous. In an exclusive interview immediate ly following the ejection, she made temarks about our ancestry, past history and probable future destin ation which indicated that our pop ularity with her was approximate ly that of poison ivy in its most virulent form. Nor will ttie imprudent one who thrust her fingers into the aper ture through which were shooting, ever be convinced that we did not deliberately jam her little finger. Really, lady, that was an awfully sily thing to do. Summing it up, the net conse quences seem to have been divers acute attacks of apoplexy on the part of the senior cops, a couple of badly startled ladies serenely re posing in the balcony, and the con fiscation of two cameras and the attachments thereof by the munici pal police. We are not overly con cerned about the apoplexy and the ladies will regain their composure but doggone! we sure hate to lose that film. It was the nearest ap proach to an epic of which we can conceive.

Philippines Move Toward Freedom MANILA, Jan. 31. < AP i Def inite move toward establishment of a Philippine commonwealth gov ernment and eventual freedom from the United States was made tonight by the constitutional con vention which adopted the last clause of its proposed charter. Recess was taken until February 5, when leaders hope the conven tion will approve the document as a whole. They hope also to receive President Roosevelt's approbation of its provisions. With this ob tained, a ten-year commonwealth form of government would be es tablished to permit of economic ad justments preceding final indend ence. 8)r. Parsons (Continued from Pac/e One) leisure time speculating and won dering about things that aroused his curiosity and which he did not understand. This was thinking, the beginning of culture. Magic Is Beginning Ceremonials and magic practices of religion were the beginning of art, music, drama, literature, and all of our present culture. Its development was intricately tied up with religion and it has never been separated from it. It was later, Dr. Parsons said, that we developed an aesthetic sense for this culture itself. As civilization advances gods arise which are concerned with ; morals. Standards of right and ! wrong are set up with the great | power of God as perfection .As long j as these ideas or standards exist, ; the society grows and continues to survive. All great civilizations have fallen when they have outgrown their religion, Dr. Parsons said. Importance Shown Rationalized religion perhaps j represents the very best maturity ! of the race while man’s mind de ! t ached from this great, uplifting, I fundamental idea becomes senile j without its support. This is Dr. Parsons’ belief drawn from a study of history and the calamities fol lowing an overthrow of religion by civilizations. Dr. Parsons’ address last night was the first of a series of five lectures on “Religion and Learn ing" which is being presented here. The second lecture will be held at the same place on February 7. It will be given by Dr. George Rebec, dean of the philosophy department, lie will talk on “The Role of Re ligion in History." Series Announced Other speakers who have been secured for the lectures are Rev. J. Hudson Ballard, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Port land, Dr. Olof Larsell, head of the department of anatomy of the Uni versity medical school, and Dr. Flam J. Anderson, president of Linfield college.

Mystery Shrouds YWCA Brownie Sale February 13 What are “brownies" ? Well, anyway, the YWCA fresh men are going to sell them at a sale to be hebl on the campus February 13. Two gushing freshmen women approached a news reporter yes terday and asked him if he would write a story about their “brown I ie” sale. “What are brownies?” the girls! I were asked. ; “We want to keep that a secret," j they replied, with a giggle. “Brownies" are going to be priced so low that even the most frugal students can buy them. They must be quite small and much in demand because they are priced at 30 cents a dozen for the 1 first five dozen. If five or more j dozen are purchased, a special rate * of 25 cents per dozen is to be of- j fered, the girls said. Stands will also be maintained on the campus in front of the library, Co-op, and YWCA shack, where “brownies” will be dispensed at two for a nickel. Attempts to determine the iden tity of “brownies" were futile. The girls were determined to keep them shrouded in mystery. So in the meantime, anyone who is cur-; ious about the identity of a “brown ie” will have to try to pry the se cret from the following girls who are in charge of the event: Isa belle Miller, chairman; Barbara Roome, Gayle Buchanan, Sue Men zie, and Catherine Cummings.
