Libe Spotlights Javanese Art The library display this week is devoted' to an interesting- col lection donated by Dr. and Mrs. Paul Means. These articles were brought over from several is lands in the Orient. There are two traditional de signs shown. The first is the pea cock, the royal bird of Jakjahar ta in central Java shown woven into a rajah sarong from west Java; a finger bowl from west Java and a rice spoon with a han dle made from corbo horn. The second traditional design is the Wayong figure which represents the actors in Javanese drama. This design is shown by a Javanese sarong, woven with pure silver threads and a woman’s sarong from west Java. In spite of the fact that the Bataks are ;|'jneral considered primitive people, the hand work on display shows very fine work manship and is intricately de signed. Also on display is a figure carved by hand and brought over from the island of Bali; a Batak pin made of pure silver; a Batak ear ring made of silver and dipped in gold; a Kolanton spoon from north Malaya, and Malacca charm made of gold and worn by the higher families of Malay to weddings and special functions. Many of the Batak Rajah robes were special gifts to Dr. and Mrs. Means by grateful fathers for aiding their sons and daughters in attending school. Dr. and Mrs. Means went to Sumatra in 1927 and returned to America in 1939. Mrs. Means managed two schools in Geyleny, one English speaking school and the other Chinese. Sophs to Vie ( Continued from pacie one) noticed. However, Sheriff Jim Burness and his capable posse are still on the lookout for beardless sophomores and promise prompt and lasting punishment for all those caught. A public dunking in front of the College Side will be given to all “captives.” Skull and Dagger and Kwama, sophomore service honoraries, will sponsor the ticket sales be ginning Tuesday, October 28, it was anounced by Og Young, head of the ticket committee.

Many’s the bewhiskered sophomore physiognomy which will peer cloudily out from the pages of the 1942 Oregana if some thing isn’t done about the schedule which lists five men’s houses as due for Oregana pictures during the weeks also set aside for sophomore growth-growing. High school students all over the state, upon opening the Oregana to find out just what Oregon has to offer, would probably be quite startled to see Gargantua-like faces grinning out at them from the pages of their favorite fraternity. One suggestion is to include footnotes on such pages, to the effect that such hirsute adornment is just one of the many delights to which a new student may look forward when at tending the University. Another suggestion is to omit the names of male sophomores, listing them all as “fraternity mascots,” “pets,” or “camo flage for national defense.” Everything else has been blamed on national defense . . . but after all maybe it would be a better idea simply to change the schedule. Frosh Choose Candidates While ballots were being count ed last night in the first vote on the class card issue, members of the freshman class nominated of ficers, whose names will presum ably appear on the ballots next Tuesday. Elections will be held in the YMCA hut from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday. Nominations were: For president, Fritz Gi-asecke, Ted Yaw; for vice-president, June Hitchcock, Win Kelker, Thorn Kinersly, Bob Perdergass; for secretary, Gerd Hansen, Dorothy Patterson; for treasurer, Louis Felsheim, Stan Hagar. (See story on page 1) Mr. President of 1964 (Continued from page one) President of the Young American Party.” This was in the fall of 1940. In the meantime Brown and Belt had proceeded with the organiza tion of the party. At the time Belt was also President of the National Junior Newspaper league through his efforts on a little sheet he called the “Low down.” The setup proved to be a natural. The young editors of America were entranced by the idea, and took up the torch for Belt. Every State Joins With the combined efforts of the novel publicity campaign and the help of the enthusiastic young newspaper men, Belt and Brown were able to make contacts and get campaign directors in every state in the Union. Buttons, simi lar to the rare Willkie pins, were distributed among the supporters. Clogans such as “A Cinch with Belt,” “Rely on Belt—Save Your Pants,” “Buckle Down with Belt,” and “With Every Thing Slipping the Nation Needs a Belt” were adopted. Pamphlets, leaflets, lit erature of all kinds were dis tributed. Belt, himself, was writ ing an average of 25 to 50 letters a day. Then someone conceived the Radio Workshop Beckons Students Students interested in the ra dio workshop should see Mr. Krenk, of the speech department, as there are still positions to be filled. The first term of the radio workshop is non-credit work to acquaint the student with the work. Credit is given the second term. The radio workshop consists of an hour program every Thursday night over KOAC from 7:30 to 8:30. Plays and musical selec tions are broadcast. The work is done by students for the most part, with occasional guest art ists featured. idea of a national women’s club as an auxiliary. Rosalind Crowe of Columbus, Ohio is now presi dent of the women’s group. Not to be outdone by this was Jimmy Phil’ips of Martin, Tennessee. He sponsored a junior organization for kids under 12. Other - social groups have pledged their sup port and prominent men a'l over the country have indicated their interest in the idea. The campaign has continued to gain momentum like an ava lanche and today Bill has no esti mate of how many thousands or tens of thousands are backing him. Born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Bill’s folks soon moved to Portland where they remained for ten years before moving to Hermiston. First Lady Contest Most interesting of the develop ments so far, at least to Bill’s way of thinking( is the first lady contest. Letters and pictures of eligible young ladies keep pour ing in to the campaign offices. Next to this is the plan of a national convention to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in March, 1942. Belt doesn’t have too much to say about his platform, his stand on politics at the present moment or his chances of election. How* ever, one optimistic supporter has already started a movement for a second term with the slogan “Back Belt and Get Belt Back in the White House in 1968—One Good Term Deserves Another.” Music Lovers...
