In SU Browsing Room Tonight
The "Chinese Novel" will be dis
cussed by D. S. Willis, assistant
professor of oriental languages at
7:30 p.m. tonight in the Student
Union browsing room.
In his lecture Dr. Willis will ex
plain the various types of Chinese

significant individual works in
Chinese literature. He will also
show how the popular novel has
developed in China.
Willis has studied eight foreign
languages and first became inter

guages during his undergraduate
days at the University of Wash

attempt was Japanese, which he
undertook in preparation for an
appointment to the state depart
ment.
He was graduated from the Uni
versity of Washington in 1943.
During the war he served as a
Navy intelligence officer in the
Pacific area.
In 1947, Willis received from the
University of Colorado, a Chinese
ministry of education cultural
scholarship, in order to further his
education in Chinese. Willis Intro
duced the first course in Chinese
language and literature here short
ly after he joined the faculty in
1948. He is a member of the far
eastern studies committee.
The discussion leader will be
W. A. Roecker, assistant professor
of Germanic languages.
The lecture is open to the public
and sponsored by the University
of Oregon library and the asso
ciation of patrons and friends of
the library.

Fantasy Society.
The club sponsored the first few
issues of the magazine but it is
now inactive. At one time the ac
tive membership was over 40 per
sons, consisting of people from
16 to 60 and ranging from pro
fessors to ditch-diggers.
"That was the reason the club
degenerated," Wright said. "It was
hard to find a meeting time that
fitted the working schedule of all
the different occupations. I may
reorganize the club if the demand i
warrants, but the new one would
be a campus club only.”

Much of the work that went into
the February issue was done by
students. Henry Lewis, a graduate

lie’s far too sophisticated to be amused by
slap-stick comedy! From the minute the curtain
went up, he knew that you just can’t judge
cigarette mildness by one fast puff or a single, swift
sniff. Those capers may fool a frosh — but
he’s been around and he knows! From coast-to-coast,
millions of smokers agree: There’s but one
true test of cigarette mildness!
It’s the sensible test . . . the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels
as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day,
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once
you’ve tried Camels for 30 days in your “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), you’ll see why . . .

magazine, called Art Concept, also
published and edited by Wright.
Donna Covalt. a junior In archi
tecture and allied arts, did the
sketch illustrating a story called
Two Wuys From Sunday. Gerald
Pearce, senior in history, reviewed
a publication culled Space Medi
cine, Bryce Decker, sophomore In
chemistry, helped set type.
Putting out the magazine takes
about six months. Even with the
Linotype, many of the pages arc
still hand set. As there isn't too
much type In any one style, the
magazine Is printed a few pages
at a time and then the type for
those pages re-distributed. This
means that the number of copies is
limited by the number of pages
printed in the first run.
Sells for 10 Cents
The February issue will be only
about 500 copies, Wright reporter :
Some of the copies are on sale at i
the Co-op for ten cents each. Us- i
ually all of the copies are sent to ,
subscribers and none arc left for
distribution through stores.
"Selling through the Co-op is an
experiment," Wright said. "There
won't be many copies. 100 at the
most. I want to find out if students
are interested in the subject."
Eusifanso contains a feature
story concerning events in time
and a grey rug. The rest of the
magazine is reviews, poetry, arti
cles and assorted editorial com
ments.
Almost the entire magazine in i
printed in color. The sketch dlus
stratmg the time story is colored >
in shades of green, as is the body ;
typo of the story. A few pages arc
in the conventional black and i
white, but most type is printed in
colors from green to purple.
Kosco Wright. 5th year educa I
tion student, has been in the ama- :
teur publishing business since his
high school days. His first publica- ,
tion was in the science fantasy
field and was hexographed, a pro- 1
cess similar to mimeographing. !
Since then, he's always published i
Navy. This was done by proxy \
through a friend.*
Art Work Trained
A professional science fantasy1
magazine, Imagination, said about
Eusifanso in a recent issue that
it, "Always runs to good art work." ;
Wright has been interested in the
arts aspects of science fantasy for
a long time. He hopes to demon
strate the possibilities of the field
in his new magazine which will be
devoted to art.
Art Concept, me proposed mag- >
azine, will contain many paintings, ;
drawings and sketches along with \
commentaries und some poetry.
The first issue will be out some
time in July. Wright hopes to get
contributions from many of the
students in art and said it would
give them a chance to have their
work recognized.
"I plan to send copies to the
editors of professional magazines,"
he said. “From the comments I’ve
received on Eusifanso, I know they
look at what I send them. Work
done by University artists will be
noticed. And if the editor’s like
it, it might mean a job."
Landlord Helps
Although Wright is the owner
of most of the equipment and the
editor and publisher, his landlord
Ed Zimmerman and Vern McCain,
a professional writer, are virtual
partners. Besides helping set type
and print the magazine, they have
contributed to the purchase of
much of the type and- presses.
Zimmerman, an avid science fan
tasy fan, distinguishes between
science fiction and fantasy. "Sci
ence fiction has to keep within the
realm of facts." he said. "The ideas
can be extensions into situations
other than tho*e we know, but
they must be based on fact. Fan
tasy relies only on the imagina
tion.”
Science fantasy appeals to many
classes, Wright said. “Educated
people like it as much, or perhaps
more, than the unschooled.”

At least they were last fall

Journalism professors haven’t
