See coL 2 NUMBER VOLUME XLVI Oriental Books Unearthed in Museum By DARRELL BOONE Few of the students that pass the imposing structure of the Ori ental art museum each day realize that within its windowless walls is housed an excellent library of more than 5,000 volumes dealing with the Orient and the Pacific basin. Entering through the after noons, between 2 and 5 p.m. every day except Friday, one follows the signs. Although the library has al ways been a reference library, last 3rear the practice was started of allowing the duplicate copies of some of the books to circulate for a short period of time. Books in this collection are writ ten in English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German, Persian, Hebrew, and French. The rarer and more valuable books are kept in the cases that line the walls of the outer room of the library while there is a smaller inner room that contains the books on open shelves, where the students can go to browse and study. The library has two sets of books of which only one other copy exists in the United States. The copy of one set is in the library of congress and the Metropolitan Mu seum of Art has an incomplete set of the other. Included in the library is a catalog of the art collection of the late George Eumozropoulos whose collection of Oriental art was sold to the British museum for six million dollars. The library has all but five volumes of this cata log and hopes to get the rest soon. The oldest book in the collection is a Japanese volume of military exercises. Naziism Caused by Nihilists, Says Pauck By MARGUERITE WITTWER ^“Naziism came out of the last war with men who had no cultural responsibility of their own. They were nihilists, des perate men who hated the civilization in which they could find no place,” declared Dr. Wilhelm Pauck of the University of Chicago, Thursday, during an interview at the Osburn hotel. The chief interest of the Nazis is to stay in power, he con tinued. Their only philosophy is not a. philosophy at all, but merely a means of staying in power. And the only way they could stay in power was to go to war. No one can go into Germany from the out side, after this war; they will have to reeducate themselves. Saving Germany from national socialism ■SiKl its after-effects will require the development of democratic ideals in Germany. “War is always followed by dis illusionment,” Dr. Pauck, a gradu ate of the University of Berlin, pointed out. He was refused per mission to stay in Germany because of his connection with the under ground movement which 10 years ago already was fighting against the Hitler gang. “War is never a cure; victory doesn't settle problems. It is truer than during the last war that this war is a war for democracy. It is essential for all people to believe in democracy. If they do not be lieve in what they are fighting and working for, they defeat them tVives in spite of victories,” he added. The closer alignment of churches on a worldwide basis will help post war reorganization because the churches will be able to enter into immediate relationship with churches in the enemy countries and there will be available a point of contact which no other field of cultural endeavor can provide, Dr. Pauck said. • Professor of historical theology at the University of Chicago and guest speaker for the lectureship on religion and world politics on this campus,” Dr. Pauck is a mem ber of the Federated Theological faculty which is working for ecu ij^nical cooperation in the move ment for world Christianity.

Today's World THE WORK - OK - JAIL bill Thursday passed the house and was sent to the senate. As it now stands, the decision of whether a man is needed rests with his local draft board. FROM LUZON comes news of a new landing- at Nasugbu, 20 miles south of Corregidor, the rescue of 513 Bataan and Cor regidor prisoners from behind Jap lines, and of the 6th army troops’ advance to within 22 miles of Manila. ACCORDING TO German broadcasts, vanguards of the Soviet army are between 30 and 39 miles of Berlin. THE WESTERN OFFEN SIVE gained momentum as the last German foothold was beaten from Belgian soil. In many places Allied troops have reached seemingly deserted parts of Siegfried line fortifications.

Hungry Shack Rats Get Story; No Steak By SHUBERT FENDRICK and JEANNE SIMMONDS Her cool limpid eyes looked into Shubert’s, and she flicked her lashes coyly. She shook her smooth brown head with a cas ual air and ogled the Emerald reporter. Was she going to speak to us ? Would she say a few words for the press ? The crowd stood breathless as her lips parted, and, with a look of casual interest, she cooed in one well-chosen phrase, "Moo.” Some of the adventure and ro- j mance of the old west returned to the campus yesterday when a small brown and white calf fell off a passing truck in front of Villard. Then began the chase: we met our prey coming down Thir teenth street, and pursued her to the Anchorage. Proceeding refreshed from there, we caught a hurried glance of the art build ing, McClure, and Friendly as we followed the trail to Ger linger. Our muddy footprints followed hers through the cem etery, and in front of McArthur court she was corralled by five Uni high sophomore minute men. But she escaped and out last glimpse of her was as she galloped into the setting sun gaily humming, “Don't Fence Me In.” Law Publication On News Stands The Oregon Law Review will be ready for distribution this week, according to its editor, Kenneth J.

Dr. Pauck launched the first lecture on religion and world poli tics of a series which will be given this week on the campus by three guest speakers. He was introduced by Acting President Orlando John Hollis. Discussing his topic, "Is Re ligious Faith Necessary for Sound Political Decision,” Dr. Pauck com pared the present period in which new philosophies and economic po litical organizations are being in troduced. The bourgeois system in at a point of exhaustion, he said. Tilings to Come Dr. Pauck told of predictions of Oswald Spengler, author of ' De cline of the West,” and H. G. Welly, author of “The Shape of Things to Come,” which have come to pass. Decisions of men are greatly in fluenced by the past, Dr. Pauck commented. Honest contemporar ies of an era must be loyal to tra ditions. We cherish doubts but be liefs determine all our actions, lie continued. Dr. Pauck remarked that the Nazis designed a new religion wit h Hitler as the “Almighty One" for (Please turn to pai/c four) What Is'It?
