Libe Displays
Oriental Art
A Chinese and Japanese dis
play has recently been ei’ected in
the circulation department of the
University library. This display
was donated to the library for
display purposes by N. B. Zane,
associate professor of space arts.
Of special interest is a statu
ette of the ancient god of Chin
ese scholarship. This god guid
ed and granted good memory to
Chinese students and saved them
from temptation if they were dis
posed to cheating.
Another interesting statuette
on display is that of the door god.
He is carved of wood, laquered
with gold. The door god is sup
posed to stand at the entrance of
bedrooms and frighten away evil
spirits and bad dreams from the
sleeper.
There is a small collection of
Chinese and Japanese porcelains
including plates, old style tea
cups without handles, and water
cocks used by painters in brush
painting.
Mr. Zane collected these arti
cles during his travels in Japan
and China in 1937. They are use
ful for illustrating the religious
beliefs of these people and as ex
amples of artistic craftsmanship.

data will be reported soon in the

Discussion
A discussion that reminded
veteran political observers of the
first constitutional convention of
the Class of 1945 appeared when
a motion was made asking for
adoption of the constitution with
out reading. An objection to this
procedure came from Phil Hunt.
Gamma hall, who asked that the
constitution be read. Hunt was
"booed” by a portion of the
crowd.
Discussion centered around the
fact that all independents had re
ceived copies of the constitution
by mail. Some of them, however,
denied receiving them. The mat
ter was put to a vote, which re
sulted in adoption of the constitu
tion without reading.
Three Aims
Near the opening of the meet
ing Worth outlined the purposes
of the organization. He spoke of
the “social" aims, which would
establish more unity between the
factions on the campus. He spoke
of the “activity” aims, which
would establish a means of get
ting independents into activities.
Then his words became more
slow and measured. Each word
seemed to stand alone as he said:
“We must fight sub rosa polit
ical forces. In order to gain co
herence of common principles we
must crush the most vicious
heresy at the University of Ore
gon.”
Trump Card
The crowd was intensely quiet,
waiting for a trump card. Then it
came:
“For the best interests of both
Greek and Independent, TNE
must go.”
Except for two brief parlia
mentary tangles, last night’s
meeting was not marred by the
bickering that marks most cam
pus mass meetings. There was
almost no objection to the pro
gram, as conducted by Winnie
Green, president of heads of
houses.
Spirit
But the meeting was not lack
ing in spirit. Hendricks hall and
Susan Campbell girls marched on
masse past men's dorms singing
“Mighty Oregon.” There was mass
singing of school songs in the
Igloo before the meting, and in
dividual houses sang their songs.
The Campbell club chorus sang
two selections at the opening of
the program. Between speakers
Lulu Pali danced a hula, Ken
Dorsey gave his “Hot Shot," act
and played the guitar, and the

meeting closed with group sing
ing of “Mighty Oregon,’’ led by
the Campbell club chorus.
Nearly every independent on
the campus had been contacted by
phone or mail before the meeting,
and posters had been distributed
about the campus advertising the
meeting.
Miss Green urged the indepen
dents to pick up any posters they
saw lying around the campus.
Unless the posters are cleaned
up, she said, the University will
charge the ISA for cleaning the
campus.
