black torso, ancl she needs it bad
ly. You see, it's this way:
Last term at the art school, Edie
sculptured a beautiful . . . ahem
. . . torso in black plaster, and
it was either lost, or someone
"borrowed” it. At any rate, Edie
wants it back, at least Icr.g
enough to enter it in the Odeon

“The person who has it now

Art Censored
By Punch Board
The Order of the Half-Shut
Eye, notoriously liberal and spe
cially chosen Lemon Punch cen
sor board, will blue pencil entries
to the Lemon Punch cartoon
contest, Charles Politz, section ed
itor, announced yesterday.
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.
The beard, composed of J. Wes
ley Sullivan, Oregana editor;
Roy Paul Nelson, managing edi
tor; Jack Billings, ex-Emerald
news editor; Bob Linde, freshman
in business administration; and
Politz, will meet this week in se
cret session to decide on a “rub
ber band policy—very flexible.”
Aspiring cartoonists should
make their drawings in black in
dia ink on white cardboard, 8 by
11 inches or larger and present
entries to the Oregana. offices in
the journalism building by noon,
February 6. Cartoons will be
judged more on the idea than on
the drawing technique.
Students who have the ideas
but no drawing ability may com
bine talents with cartoonists and
apply for the prize— which is re
production of the drawing in the
Lemon Punch section of the Ore
gana.
Boss Deadline Nears
For WAA Banquet
Petitions for chairmanship of
the annual WAA banquet must
he turneii in to Goldie Puziss,
WAA president, at Hendricks
or Gerlinger halls before 6 this
evening. The banquet will be
held February 18 in Gerlinger
hall.
Oregana Sections
Hit the Inkpaths
J. 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.
