‘Divine Mirror’ Shown At Co-op Has Odd Story\ - - By MORRISON BALES The “Divine Mirror of Japan.’’ prized for centuries by Japanese j as an object of special supernatural powers, was placed on display at j the Oriental balcony of the Co-op book store today. The divine mirrors are round, some having a handle, much like the handle of a frying pan; but to attempt to liken any part of this venerated metal mirror to the more prosaic frying pan would cause ancient Japanese to turn over in their graves and direct ominous threats toward any such presum ing and atheistic infidel. From out the mass of heiiefs in spired by the mirror in Japan, comes a tale, pathetic, touching: A young mother, afflicted with a fatal disease, called her daughter to her bedside and presented the daughter with the mirror. The young mother explained to her daughter that when she was over come by melancholy and yearned to gaze upon the face of her moth er, she had only to look, into this divine mirror and there behold her mother. The daughter, who grew more like her mother with each succeeding day, did this with reg ularity and always with resultant peace of mind. The surface of the mirror which is used for reflecting the image is highly polished. The reverse side is ornately emblazoned with di verse objects—all signifying hap piness and good will. Like some other Japanese arts, that of mirror-making was lost about 200 years ago with the dis covery of glass. I'he art. is gone, but the product remains. Firing Line (Continued from paqc three) available at center and guard, but there's nothin gwrong with Center Erling Jacobsen and Guard George Jones. Other linemen, who may be con sidered possibilities but not proba bilities, are Emery Hobbs and Stan Kunzman, ends; Lloyd Beggs, and Bill Stein, guards, and George Schweiger, center. The other day thin column spouted a hit on the Hl-straight winning streak of the California frosh and the odd fact that the frosii didn't seem to get anywhere when they reached the varsity. Such often happens, when just an evenly-halanced group of young sters, with no outstanding indi viduals, makes up the first-year team. But Oregon's frosh have not only the haluuee but the standouts. Boh Smith, Jensen, Rowe, Gray ■iitimitiminimiHiwiiimiiimiiimiiii beal, Lance, Reginato, and a few of the others are, barring the un predictable, varsity cinches. If it wern't for the Pacific coast, this column's prognosticating rec ord would be much better. Last Saturday, for the second consecu tive week, our own home boys on the Pacific slope cheated us. Just for your edification, if any one cares, the score last week was 29 right and 11 wrong. And about half of those on the wrong side of the ledger were coast games. Per centage was .725. I he Passing Show (Continued from fiat/e one) home last night. The singer lapsed into a coma three hours before the end and never recovered conscious ness. The beloved singer had expressed a hope years ago that the predic tion of an Indian ipedicine man would come true —that she “would drop dead in the middle of a grand act on the stage, singing, singing.” 1*1 1VIII IEPSILON TO DINK Pi Mu Epsilon, mathematics hon orary, will hold a get-together din ner Wednesday night at 0:00 in the Del Rey cafe.

However, Sergeant Harvey 31ythe, ROTC instructor and match official, explained the reluctance to be based on respect of students for superiors who control oppor tunities for a high, GPA. Casualties Feared ‘‘Both teams will not fire on the range simultaneously,” stated the rifle coach. Authoritative persons confirmed the rumor that this pre caution will be taken to prevent intimidation by the shooting pro fessors and wanton show of antag onism by the markswomen. Lucille Bachman, organizer of the student group, was elected its manager last night. Outstanding shots include Marjorie Bates, Betty Baker, Opal Stillwell, Louise Wood ruff, Florence Sweitzer, Betty Jean VanAtta, Blanche Moore, Mary Bailey, Leola McCracken and Caro Cogan.

Girls Get Medicine (Continued from page one) Though he had planned to come home right after the game, the thought now dawns that perhaps he should stay up in Corvallis—you make it sound like everyone’s do ing it. “Naw," he mutters, and all is lost. Again there is the unhappy soul who shuffles around, stands on one foot and then the other, grins 3tupidly, and mutters something in distinguishable, blushing a fever ish red all hte while. The poor man, not knowing what she is talk ing about, decides to be on the safe side, and utters a sage “Well, yes and no,” probably thinking to himself “the girl’s a moron, by gosh!” Too embarassed to repeat her request, the poor soul takes herself off, to weep bitter tears in a secluded corner, and meditate on the brutality of man. Many and varied are the ap proaches that a coed should not use if she wants to proudly escort the love of her heart to the dance Saturday night. They range all the way from a discouraged, negative, “I don’t suppose you like to dance” to the coy, “Wouldn’t a dreat bid mans like you like to go to the dance Saturday with little me?” which will probably bring an em phatic and brutal “Yer darn right [ wouldn’t!” The trick is to be aggressive. bon’t be timid, shy and backward! Valk up boldly and with a gleam n the eye that defies all argument, ay to him “Would you care to go o the dance with me Saturday light? You would? Mmmmm — hat’s good!” Whereupon you whip iff before he has a chance to re use. Simple? Of course, you may lot be able to find him when Sat lrday night comes—but don’t say rou weren't warned!
