UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1943
NUMBER 65
UO Reserve Status Unchanged
GEOKGE W. SHEPHERD . . .
. . . well acquainted with situa
tion..
fhina Lecture
Set for Igloo
With 20 years of actual ex
perience in China, six of them in
close association with Generalis
simo Chiang- Kai-Shek, as men
tioned in John Gunther’s “Inside
Asia,” George W. Shepherd, who
will speak at Thursday’s assem
bly in McArthur court at 11 a.m.,
is well acquainted with the Far
Eastern situation.
When Mr. Shepherd first went
to China in 1917 he was a rural
missionary in the mountain dis
tricts beyond* Fukien province.
He was forced to evacuate by
anti-Christian invaders and later
continued his service in the
Vghborhood of Foochow.
’•At that time Madame Chiang
Kai-Shek challenged the Chris
tian forces of China to develop
a Christian program of service
tO' the common people as deep
and genuine as that professed by
communist leaders. The National
Christian Council of China ac
cepted the challenge and asked
Mr. Shepherd to cooperate with
its Chinese rural work secretary
in making a survey of the devas
tated areas in Kiangsi from
which communist armies had been
driven out.
A program of rural reconstruc
tion with strategically-located
centers was organized, and as a
result of Mr. Shepherd’s work at
Lichwan, Generalissimo and
Madame Chiang Kai-Shek asked
Uje American board to led him to
^pp vitalize the New Life Move
ment. Feeling that this move
ment, without political signifi
cance, was intrinsically Christian
in ethics, the American board has
lent Mr. Shepherd for this im
portant work during the past
years.

’Punch’ Pictures
Cartoonists with the Petty ten

dency) get the chance to “show”
in the Lemon Punch cartoon con
test opening today, Charles Po
litz, Lemon Punch editor, has an
nounced.
The contest, sponsored by the
Oregana to provide new life to
the Lemon Punch section, will
be open to all Oregon students.
Cartoons may be on any subject,
but those dealing with campus
life are particularly needed.
“Cartoons should be lively—
but not too much so!”, said Po
litz.
The ten best entries will be
reproduced in the Oregana Lem
on Punch section. Drawings
should be done in black India ink
on white cardboard, 8 inches by
11 inches or larger. Deadlines

plicants are asked to send or pre
sent entries to Charles Politz at
the Oregana offices in the jour
nalism building.
The Lemon Punch will also
contain the usual “over the bor
derline” jokes and a collection of
the best JWS poems of the year.

idea, not the drawing technique.
