Court Continues investigation On Parking Meter Situation Student court members are con tinuing their investigation of the city’s action in putting up parking meters along Kincaid between 12th and 13th and along 11th between Alder and Hilyard. Members have met with City Manager Oren King but no defin ite action has resulted, Chairman Dick Neely stated after the court’s regular session Tuesday night. Neely emphasized that Susan Campbell residents may park in front of the door in the yellow zone for periods no longer than ten minutes for unloading pur poses. Still frequent is the violation of parking restrictions between Deady and Villard Halls, Neely said. Parking in this zone is pro hibited at all times, including after 5 p. m. and on Saturdays and Sun days, because of fire hazard. Many students do not realize that when they receive tickets for student traffic violations they may forfeit bail at the Office of Student Affairs during the week and are not required to attend the Tuesday evening court sessions unless they feel they have a case to present, the chairman said. Ten cases were heard by the court Tuesday; seven students were found guilty and fined $1 each. One case was dismissed, one student was merely issued a warning, and one decision was postponed pend ing further consideration of the facts involved. One final notice and two second warnings were sent out by the court. Failure to appear before the court after the final notice will result in the turning over of the case to the Office of Student Af fairs. Disciplinary measures up to and including suspension of Uni versity registration may be enforc ed by the Office.

There's No Science in China, Eberhard Tells Large Audience By S1AJN rtKMoULL "There is no science in China.” This was the statement, later somewhat qualified, made Tuesday night by Dr. Wolfram Eberhard, associate professor of sociology in the University of California and one-time resident in China. Speaking on "Science and So ciety in China” before an over flowing audience in the University of Oregon’s Chapman Hall, Dr. Eberhard’s talk concluded the Far Eastern Studies Conference held on the campus Monday and Tues day. Resist Change Chinese resistance to change of any kind, brought on by the social structure which in turn was an attempt to solve population pres sure which was a problem as early as the first century, was the es sence of Dr. Eberhard’s explana tion of Chinese lack of science. “Westerners have changed their surroundings rather than them selves. In China it is the other way; they have attempted to ad just themselves to situations,” the sociologist said. “This essential difference in approach evolved an extremely stable form of society. “But scientists wanted to use sci ence as a political weapon (which would mean change) and the ruling gentry could do nothing else but suppress science,” he asserted. Wars and trade have often been called the developers of science, Dr. Eberhard noted, but in China their effect was different. China Primitive In Europe, he observed, there was technical competition in methods of warfare, but this was not necessary in China, as the entire area, and thus all possible opponents, was primitive. And all trade, he went on, was under discrimination. The business man was of a lower social order, be neath the ruling class of gentry, who were a combination officer scholar-landlord class firmly en trenched in office through family alliances. “Trade produces change, and this was dangerous to the gentry,” the speaker noted. Between 400 and 200 B.C., he said, while government was in tran sition from a feudal state to the gentry-controlled state, a little sci ence was accepted by the Chinese from foreigners. This included rudi mentary geography, and astron omy. Then the gentry gained con trol and the chance was past. Philosophies Differ Digressing a little, Dr. Eberhard, who for 11 years taught Chinese at the University of Ankara in Tur key, explained a basic difference be tween Western and Chinese philoso phies of science. Red Cross Drive Kickoff Banquet Held Last Night In preparation for the Campus Red Cross Drive which gets started tomorrow, a ‘fKickoff” banquet was held Tuesday night for com mittee chairmen and Lane Count} workers. J. M. Mjoisness, assistant to volunteer workers in Oregon, was speaker for the dinner, which was held at the Anchorage Cafe. “The Red Cross asserts the im portance of the individual,” Mjols ness pointed out. “Its disaster work is intended to redeem a per son to take his place again in the community. It is through the neighborliness of all the people who contribute to the organiza tion’s work that we are able to help.” Stressing the importance of the Red Cross throughout the world he stated, "To a D. P. in Israeli, it. means hope and faith; to a person in the tornado-struck areas of the South, it means aid; to the vets in Oregon’s hospital at Roseburg it means a feeling of respect for campus representatives who come to entertain for an evening. Others attending the banquet were Mrs. William Stevens, ad viser of the campus chapter of the Red Cross; Mrs. Cora Purtle, Lane County manager of the Red Cross; and K. W. Onthank, director of the graduate placement service. The campus drive will extend through Feb. 28. The ten top houses in collections will be pub lished in the Emerald each day of the campaign. Stanford Prof Tells Conference Of Buddhist Art Millard B. Rogers, professor of art and curator of Oriental art at Stanford, Monday night explained to the conference on the Far East 'how he examined examples of Buddhist art in the northwest Chinese town of Tun Huang. Mr. Rogers was one of the two speakers at the conference which. • was sponsored by the University committee on Far Eastern studies. He explained that he reached the small town at the last possible moment before China fell to the Communist invasion. Tun Huang, though now very small town in a dessert, it was at one time a thriving city in a thick ly populated region. Near the town Mr. Rogers found and array of caves of a Buddhist monastic community which were very rich in wall paintings. Most of them have to do with Buddhist subjects. Mr. Rogers photographed many of the more important of paintings, and illustrated his lecture with color pictures. These paintings were described as a fundamental part to the his tory of Chinese civilization from the time of Christ for some 100 years afterward. Mr. Rogers emphasized the min ute care with which the later paintings were rendered as large formal gatherings of Buddhist dieties.
