The 15 tribes of Indians who in
habited what is now the Mexican
state of Oaxaca believed at the
lime of the Spanish conquest that
:hey were descended from trees.
Many trees, particularly large or
jld ones, were held in veneration.
Do you like a bargain? You’re getting one in
gasoline. Except for taxes, gasoline today costs
just about what it did in 1925. (And it’s better
gas; 2 gallons now do work that then took 3.)
Why? Largely because of competition among big
oil companies.
“Ami
supposed to be
glad you're big?”
Many people write us such comments as
this: "Fee heard people talk against big
companies like you. Lately Fee been read
ing your statements about bigness. Am I
supposed to be glad you're bigl"
The answer to this question depends on
your answer to certain others. Some people
have come to feel that bigness itself may
be bad. Consider the good that comes from
’ this same bigness.
Do you like new and better things? Standard
has spent over $35,000,000 on research and tech
nical service in the last 5 years, developing new
or improved products, and new raw materials
for other companies. Yet only when allowed to
grow big, by serving you better, can we take on
the work and risk involved.
Do you want to keep your country strong?
It takes big companies to back our fighting men
and keep defense goods in full supply. Standard
is at work for our government on aviation gaso
lines, atomic research, synthetic rubber, and
Other vital projects.
//// *?/// ■ /////////,!
Are you glad you have the conveniences of
this “machine age?” They depend heavily on oil.
You’re assured an ample supply of oil by the en
terprise of big companies like Standard. We seek
out new crude reserves, in this country and
abroad, with exploration that may cost millions
before the first gallon is found.
Obviously, there are countless ways to express the benefits you gain by our bigness ..;
countless questions we could ask, to which you’d probably answer “yes” just as readily.
And if you like the things that bigness brings, then you can be glad we’re big.

Honors Program Participation '
At Low Ebb Says Leeper
By Walt Wakafield
Participation in the honors program is at a low ebb, accord
ing to Robert W. Peeper, professor of psychology and chair
man of the Honors council.
Object of the program is to provide superior students with
an opportunity to carry on independent studies beyond the gen
eral requirements for graduation. Successful completion of the
program earns ror me siuaeni a
bachelor’s degree with honors.
Faculty Supervision
Courses designated ‘‘research,’
“reading and conference" anc
"thesis’ ’are utilized for this pur
pose. Each student receives neces
sary supervision from a faculty
member in his or her department.
To qualify for honors work the
student must complete 93 term
hours t>f study, including all lowei
division requirements, with a grade
point average of at least 2.75 01
obtain the approval of the Honors
council on recommendation of a
department head.
Begins Junior lear
The work generally begins ir
the first term of the junior year
The student must maintain a grade
point of 3.0 or better while work
ing for honors.
According to the catalog, the
interested student must first reg
ister with the chairman of the
Honors council. The tendency
however, has been to handle every
thing within the individual's school
or department, Leeper said.
Only Six in 1931
In 1951 only six students were
graduated with honors. This repre
sented only .5 per cent of the 1197
baccalaureate degrees received, a
20-year low. A high point was
reached in 1945 when 17 of the 317
degrees granted were with honors.
Leeper suggested that the lack
of participation might be due in
part to the increasing number of
graduate students at the Univer
sity. Figures from the registrar’s
office show an increase from 268
to 772 graduate students during
the five-year period ending in 1951.
Cuts Down Tirni*
Individual instruction of gradu
ates cuts down on the time faculty
members can spend supervising
honor students, Leeper said. For
this reason, students might not be
encouraged to participate in the
program.
Some departments feel that
there is no place for the honors
program at all, Leeper said.
Students Hesitate
Another possibility, he pointed
out, is that students just hesitate
to take on the added work. Also,
there may not be sufficient aware
ness of the program.
For students who are willing to
exert themselves, two types of hon
ors are available. To earn general
honors, the student must complete
work in at least two departments.
For departmental honors the work
need not extend beyond a single
department or school.
Honors work generally involves
writing an essay or thesis. In addi
tion, the honors student must pass
an examination conducted by the
school or department supervising
his program. The words “with hon
ors” then appear on his degree.

Fine Collection
At Art Museum
By Helen Jones
One of the finest Oriental art
collections on the Coast is kept on
the campus, yet barely half the
students have seen it.
The collection is housed in the
j Museum of Oriental Art, the “win
dowless building" facing the quad.
! Of the 50 per cent of the students
who have been inside—and this is
a generous estimate—few have
done so more than once.
Original Donation In 1921
Mrs. Gertrude Mass Warner do*.^
nated the priceless collection to
the University in memory of her
husband, Maj. Murray Warner, and
to stimulate interest in the Far
East. After her original bequest
in 1921, Mrs. Warner made many
trips to the Orient to augment the
collection.
Included in the exhibits are Ori
ental handicraft, jade, screens,
clothing and furniture. Many of
the displays contain true objects
d'art, from imperial palaces.
Old Chinese Tainting*
There are Chinese paintings on
silk dating back to 456 A. D. There
is a roomful of Russian ikons (al
terpieces). There are contempo
rary sketches by Westerners,
showing their impressions of the
Far East.
Visitors from all over the state
come to the campus especially to
see the Warner collection. Oregon
students view it only on such occa
| sion.s as Homecoming and Mother's
Weekend when they usher visiting
parents around the campus.
Windowless Building
The windowless building was de
signed to house the Murray collec
i tion. It was constructed in 1930 as
a memorial to Prince Lucien
Campbell, former president of the
University.
Oregon citizens paid for the
$200,000 structure with a series of
fund-raising campaigns during the
1920's. Ten thousand dollars was
collected in a postal card drive in
1925. The same year a club was
formed to solicit funds. Delta
Ganrna sorority donated $1000 in
1929.
Sunlight Protection
Windows were omitted from the
building to protect the exhibits
from damaging effects of sunlight.
Lighting in the structure does
not depend entirely on electricity,
however. In the center there is an
open court, the tile floor of which
was designed by ■ art school stu
dents. A covered corridor sur
rounds the court, and a pool and
fountain are in the center. The
fountain plays water into a basin,
which cascades into the larger
pool.
No Director
Mrs. Warner served as director
of the museum until her death in
1921. No new director has yet been
named. Mrs. Mabel K. Garner, the
assistant director, is now in charge
of the museum.
Ten Delegates
(Continued from f'ru/e one)
large) who have petitioned (and
who are considered pro-Robert
Taft), the Eisenhower men chose
ten of the filers, despite some com
plaints from unchosen filers who
have also expressed partiality to
ward Eisenhower or for the state's
choice.
A spokesman for the Eisenhower
camp said it is unfortunate that
the move had to be made— leaving
some Ike supporters comparatively
out in the cold—but the situation
in Oregon which allows candidate#
to run unpledged necessitated tho
counter-tactic.
