    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.

Oregana With Beards?
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.

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.”
