Temporary relief w’as Clark Declares History Proves Nothing Is New Someone once said, "history proves that history proves nothing at all.” R. C. Clark, head of the history department, believes that history proves too much, because there is nothing new, and everything moves in cycles. Projects are proposed that have been proposed in the past, such as President Roosevelt's proposal of adding more men to the jury. "In 1809, Senator H. Williams, from Oregon, was a Republican leader under Grant, and proposed that from 15 to 18 men be includ ed in the jury Republicans were all for this proposal then, but now are violently against it. If Repub licans look in their history they would learn that history proves too much,” Dr. Clark says. "[f people knew more history it would give them more of a bal ance," continued Clark, and they wouldn’t oppose things so violently which they upheld in the past. An argument against the proposed plan is that the courts would be packed by the president’s backers, but history proves that the courts have been packed, and with only nine men. Washington packed the court to begin with, and when Jefferson stepped forward for his adminis tration he found the courts against him. By the time of the Civil war the jury was packed with southern slave-holders. Since that war the conservatives have been in the ma jority. President Roosevelt proposes a change in accord with modern times. This change is a repetition of a movement led by the first Roosevelt called the “Square Deal," which is similar to Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal.” If people knew more correct, un biased history they would know how fo deal with all the “modern changes” from the lessons learned by the changers of the past, is Dr. Clark's opinion. given by light showers at Texhoma last night.

Salacious Ballets The Ballet Russe, which delight ed a, 4000 Eugene audience two weeks ago, ran into difficulties in Seattle Tuesday, when the censor board of that city ruled the ballet, “Afternoon of the Faun,” salacious.

Robert Garretson ' In Piano Recital Beethoven’s Work Leading Number in Last Night’s Musieal Group With unusual skill of technique and interpretation, Robert C.arret son, piano student of George Hop kins, presented a recital ranging from Bach to Rachmaninoff, in the music auditorium last night.

Schumann’s "Novelette in F Ma jor,” a powerful number of mili tary nature, opened the next group of selections. The Chopin “Noc turne in C sharp minor,” a pen sive, melancholy selection, was especially well-done. The "Magic Fire Music” from Wagner’s “Die Walkure” opera, was transcribed for the piano by Brassin. The outstanding number in Mr. Garretson’s last group was “The Island Spell” by Ireland. The fly ing "Humoresque" by Rachmanin off, Ibert’s humorous "The Little White Donkey,” and the Faure Maier "Apres un Reve” were all done with exceptional tone and skill in execution.

Rythmic Vitality Sought In Oriental Art Studies Rhythmic vitality, the supreme aim of the Oriental artist for cen turies, is the element which members of Miss Maude Kerns’ design classes are seeking to portray in their original work, which has taken them to the Oriental Art museum for the past two weeks. Since Jiro Harada lectured on the campus last year, students have shown themselves as having a much more appreciative background for the study of Oriental art, Miss Kerns said yesterday when ques tioned about the work of the art students. “We are studying the Japanese prints and the Chinese paintings to see how the Orientals express ihythm with landscape forms,” she said. "We are also studying the structural organization of their works. “In order to appreciate this work,” she said, indicating several of the students’ own creations, showing studies of mountains, j mists, foliage, rocks portrayed in unusual colors, “it is necessary to know that the highest aim of the painter in Japan, as was the case in China also, has been to repre sent everything he paints in its proper relation to the infinite. "Thus these studies are done in arbitrary colors, which means non realistic coloring, not found in na ture,’’ she added. Room for the gang, TAYLOR’S, ad Wide Selection of Poems Available In Jewett Contest Students planning to take part in the W. F.

Best readers will partici pate in the final event. Records Reveal Weather Cycles Tree records of Oregon's climate for the past several hundred years show that there have been regular cycles of wet and dry years, and that present conditions of syste matic wet and dry years are not new to the state. This, F. P. Keen, U. S. ento mologist, pointed out last night at Condon hall, in a speech before Sigma Xi, science honorary. “A Tree Ring Record of Ore gon's Climate" was the title of the talk. Keen pointed out how it can be told when droughts are coming through the study of tree rings. Prior to the meeting, Oregon and Oregon State chapters of Sigma Xi met in a joint banquet at the Anchorage, honoring the Oregon State chapter's newly acquired na tional membership in the society. W. A. Miller, instructor in physics at Oregon, was awarded a letter of commendation for his recent re search work for the national body.
