Jade Ornaments
Reveal Customs
Of Ancient China
For centuries jade has held an
important place in China. Not only
lias it been utilized for ornaments,
vases, and weapons, but it also has
played a significant role in in the
Chinese religious life.
In the Chinese throne room of
the Murray Warner museum a case
full of various-colored, small jade
objects has just been placed on dis
play. Among these are amulets,
which, at some former time, were
placed in the mouth and over the
eyes of some dead person, and a
sacrificial vessel such as was used
during the Chou period in ances
tral rites.
The Chinese used to believe that
jade was a sacred stone, a stone
that aided one to have a long life,
that purified a person spiritually,
and that assured immortality. Em
perors would take powdered jade
internally, especially when they felt
that death was near. To eat from
jade bowls was supposed to result
in a prolonged life. When a per
son died he was buried along with
certain jade objects which would
assure his ressurection. Likewise,
amulets placed in his mouth and
over his eyes and lips were reputed
to have the property of preserving
flesh from decay.
Also in the display are two jade
wedding cups. It was once cus
tomary at imperial wedding ban
quets to have the bride and groom
exchange cups as a token of their
marriage. Completing the display
are a pair of realistic, small jade
horses, bowls, and various other
ornaments.

age and “wear and tear” or, in the
language of insurance or automo
bilism, depreciation. In ’79, ’80,
this was increased to $10.00 per
annum. Our very recent antiquity
is illustrated by this addendum,
“All such . . . tuition and admis
sion fee herein provided for, are
payable in United States gold coin,
and not otherwise.”
If the students did not rebel,
neither did the administration de
mand compensation for extra la
bor or clerical aid, for there was
none of the latter. The President
was his own Secretary, Registrar,
and Comptroller, all in one, “sit
ting at the receipt of custom” and
issuing all vouchers. I have dis
covered many a receipt for tuition
fees, countersigned by John W.
Johnson, President, eloquent docu
ment of the primitive simplicity
and voluntary sacrifice of our pio
neers.
But out of the student body of
130 the University did not realize
a correspondent amount from tui
tion, for the system as maintained
by the law under which the insti
tution was established, provided for
a number of scholarships for each
County, involving free tuition.
From these students, only inciden
tal fees were obtained. Each Coun
ty was entitled to one free schol
arship, “and an additional one for
each member and point member
of the Legislative Assembly.”
I find reference in the Journal
issue of Oct. 7, to the drawing of
lots, which named the lucky win
ners of free scholarship for that
first year: T. Kansas Hale, Mary
Hill, Jasper Stevens, Louisa Foley,
A. L. Jackson, Ella Geary, and
George Nolan. Seven from Lane
County!
Very evidently, not all the Coun
ties availed themselves of the op
portunity. But it may be readily
seen how impossible it was to ex
pect any great amount of revenue
from such a plan and how neces
sary it was for the University to
seek aid from other sources.

fellows, and the selection of an

an honor to Mr. Stromberg, but
also an act of recognition for the
department here, according to the
judgment of Oregon faculty mem
bers. Mr. Stromberg has also had
offers from the University of Ne

Other recent examples of note
include Earl Pemberton, and Joel

Black ruin billowing up out of the southwest’s great dust bowl

with buildings standing out in relief agaist the inky blackness.
Plans of Retreat
For Wesley Club
Made Last Night
More Recreation Is Object
Of Year’s Program
Final plans for the annual Wes
ley Club retreat to Newport were
drawn up last night at a meeting
of Wesley council. An attempt to
provide more recreational oppor
tunities has been embodied in this
year's program which lists only
two large general topics for group
discussion during the retreat.
Altogether about 25 members
have signed lip to make the trip.
Although some groups plan to
drive down Friday, the retreat will
not officially begin until 10:30
Saturday with a discussion of
"What’s Wrong With the Cam
pus?” led by W. P. Walters, sec
retary of the YMCA of Eugene. At
1:30 that afternoon, this same topic
will be discussed in smaller groups
and more exhaustively. At 2:30
the various discussions will be
summarized by Rev. Cecil Ristow
of the First Methodist church.
Sunday morning will begin with
a discussion of worship in which
students will attempt to find “this
thing we pretend to be worship
ping.” This discussion will be fol
lowed by a church service at 11
o’clock, after which the retreat will
be officially closed.
Anyone wishing to accompany
the group may gain information
regarding transportation and costs

Film Critic Offers Original
Method for Testing Movies
'
What the movies need is not so
much a League of Decency—where
was it when Jean Harlow described
sex in three easy lessons—as a
society to test the dramatic sub
stance of a picture. This group
could dip the film like litmus paper
into a solution to test for artistic
acidity. Shows of "Reckless’ cali
bre, for instance, would turn yel
low; the good pictures, the color
of blue blood. One would be junked,
the other circulated. Simple isn’t
it?
Harlow, of the “T is silent” fame
had only to act natural to satisfy
the requirement in a show that is
surprisingly biographical. Instead,
words that are glibly alien fall
from her mouth. Her technique was
pinned on by a careless director.
It looked mighty like other legs
were doing the more intricate parts
of her dancing which had the
laboured movement, the self con
sciousness, the ignorance of danc
ing of an amateur aesthetic inter
preter. She would make the proper
partner for George Raft.
The only provocation for her
dancing at all was the only prov
ocation for Harlow herself—the
display of limbs and lines that re
mind us uncomfortably of the per
tinent parts of biology lectures.
The plot is about a famed chorine
(she couldn't have been miscast,
could she?) who falls for the
wastrel son of a millionaire be
cause he’s such a sweet kid and
needed her. This episode gave rise
to the wedding morn when
Franchot suffers from a terrible
hangover and Jean lies tenderly
slumberous under satin coverlets.
Our only criticism to that scene
was the absence of the pink ribbon
in the hair. Did you ever eat too
many cream puffs?
The saying goes that it is a
liberal man who mixes a True Love
magazine with his classics. Then
see "Reckless.” The supreme dis
cord of her acting is a lesson in
what not to do, too. If some act
ress were told to act as Harlow
unacts, it would be a great achieve
ment in characterization.
We’re not saying anything about
“A child of ten would konw what
she stood for.”
the great catharsis scene when the y
alligator tears welled under loaded
eyelashes.
May Robson and William Powell
did penance for some old sin when
they stuck it out. We felt grateful
for their attempts to save the sink
ing ship, and also to Rosalind
Russel for her cool brow.
In finishing—we wish that Jean
Harlow and Joan Crawford would
change hairdressers.
“Mary Jane’s Pa" is a pleasant
relief and should change places
with “Reckless” as “also on the
same bill.” It’s a sound comedy,
moves rapidly, and builds to a
thrilling climax. The only Kibbee
MacMahon show that we have ever
approved of. Would have special
appeal to journalists.—C. J. L.
