Kilter Your Baby in Romane s Annual Pretty Baby Contest Each Entry Receives One H x 10 Portrait ROMANE’S STUDIO 993 Willamette Eugene 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. Again I See (Continued from Pat/c Two) 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.

New York, ; where he will work on rural sociol ogy. Cornell is exceptionally high | in its standards for selection of fellows, and the selection of an Oregon man is considered not only 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 braska. Other recent examples of note include Earl Pemberton, and Joel Kerreman, who both received theii M.A. degrees in sociology here, i Mr. Pemberton received a fel ■ lowship at the University of South ern California, and last June was granted a Ph D. degree from there He is now engaged in FEU A re search work in San Francisco. Mr Berreman went to Stanford on a fellowship, and is at present teach ing and working for his Ph D. de gree there. Dust Blots Out World as Ink Pall Rolls Up Black ruin billowing up out of the southwest’s great dust bowl here rolls slowly over the Panhandle town of Pampa, Texas, a suf focating wall of dust blotting out daylight and moving on to wreak havoc on the sparse crops remaining in the blighted district. Like an impenetrable screen of smoke it appears in this remarkable picture, 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.

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.
