The exclusively chartered cam pus subsidiary of the Hays of fice will pick the 10 best cartoons in the Oregana-sponsored con test, while keeping its one good eye for “overly liberal eccentrici ties,” Politz said.

Wesley Sullivan, editor of the Oregana, announced Wednes day that the school division of the Oregana has been sent to Portland, making over half of the yearbook now in Portland. The military department ha.3 the same status as a school this year, Sullivan stated, and the college of liberal arts, because it is new, is being given a much larger section. Emphasis this year is being placed on how the University is aiding in the war effort. In this connection, the tail pieces at the end of each section, consisting of Donald Duck cartoons drawn by David Stone, sophomore in archi tecture and allied arts, will stress the correlation between college and the war. Itcv. Shepherd will conduct a forum at 3 pan. In alumni hall at Gerlinger instead of at 4 p.m. in Chapman as originally plan ned. The change was made be cause of conflict with the YWCA assembly. The forum will end in time for students to attend the Y program. A Congregational missionary in China for twenty years, Rev. Shepherd was enlisted by Madame Chiang Kai-Chek in her New Life Movement. The plan was started by Generalissimo Chiang to puri • tanize the Chinese people, and to fight superstition, ignorance and corruption. At the time Japanese were marching on Nanking in fateful 1937, Rev. Shepherd was sent on a special mission to England and America by the Generalissimo. He was recalled to China a few months prior to the fall of Canton and Hankow. As the Japanese broke through 1he outer defenses of Hankow, China's First Lady asked Shep herd to assist in the evacuation, of thousands of women workers and their families. With Colonel J. L. Huang, he helped transport, the women to Chunking and oth er centers of Free China.
