Wright Describes
'Battle' in France
The battle between the dynamic
France and static France was the
point stressed by Gordon Wright,
head of the history department,
in a speech given to about 100 per
sons in the browsing room
.Wednesday.
Many areas in southern France,
Wright said, are still living in the |
10th century and it is this faction
that is opposing any change. This j
faction also wants a weak, cheap
government in France that will
protect the little man and regu- I

parties.
Opposing this group is the in
dustrial areas in northern France,
who are modem, wealthy and pro
gressive. It is in this group that
Communists have their biggest
strength.
The government of France is
traditionally in the center, even
though the Communists are the
Freshman Women
Needed by YWCA
Many more freshman women
are needed to act as "Duckling”
counselors next year, according to
Jo Kopp, co-chairman of the YW
CA program.
The YW would like to have 300
girls participate in the program,
Miss Kopp said. Petitions for the
positions are available at the YW
office in Gerlinger hall and may
also be turned in there, she said.
The "Duckling” counselors will
be expected to write to incoming
freshman women during the sum
mer and then contact them during
the first week of fall term to help
them with any problems they
may have, Miss Kopp said. Names
of the incoming freshman women
will be sent to the counselors dur
ing the summer, she said.

biggest and .strongest party. The
reason for this is that most French
Communists are Neutralists, not
•Stalinists. Wright said that a hen
and egg situation exists in their
politics. In order to get rid of the
Communists a strong alternative
leftist movement must be started
and to do this one has to cut the
power of the Communists.
Recently France has been try
ing to get rid of its colonies as |
gracefully as possible because as
Wright put it “colonies to France
are like the St. Louis Browns are
to Bill Beeck." She has been try
ing to find a way to get out of the
far east and still retain some of
her rights in the countries there. '
According to W'right there are
three reasons for the present state
that France is in, namely: the lack
of civic spirit, a strain of scepti
cism that is predominate through- 1
out France and a habit of histori- j
cal thinking.

Museum Has
Oriental Background
By Bob Ford
Emerald Reporter
The Fine Arts Museum opener]
at 2:30 p.m. on June 10, 1933, and
has stood as a memorial to Prance
Campbell, former University
president, since that date.
Following the pledging of the
last bit of money to begin con
struction on the first unit of the
museum, officially known as the
Prince L. Campbell fine arts mu
seum, detailed construction plans
were announced by Mrs. Irene T.
Gerlinger, former regent of the
University, on April 13, 1929.
Designed as “Campus Axis”
The museum, which was "de
signed to be the major axis of the
university campus,” grew out of a
love for Oriental art which Major
and Mrs. Gertrude Warner ac
quired while living in the Orient.
Major Warner possessed a keen
interest and knowledge of Oriental
art and had aided Mrs. Warner in
making the original collection.
The collection was dedicated by
Mrs. Warner in "order to promote
interest and appreciation between
the Eastern and Western mind.”
The collection includes Chinese and
Japanese art, and also valuable
items from Korea and Cambodia.
The Japanese art includes lacquer,
prints, paintings, embroideries, ar
mor, guns, swords, kimonas, and
porcelain. Long roll paintings, pot
tery, fumiftre, jade, crystal, rose
quartz, and various types of jewel
ry, textiles and sculpture are found
in the Chinese collection.
Died in 1951
Mrs. Warner came to Oregon in
1920 to be with her son. Sam Bass
Warner, who was professor in the
law school. She presented her or
iginal collection to the University
in 1921 because of her son's affil
j 'ation and interest here and the
, "need perceived for a greater ap
| Pr«ciatfon of western for eastern
peoples.” Mrs. Warner died in 1951,
and Mabel Garner of North Bend
has been director from the time
of Mrs. Warner’s death. Mrs. Gar
ner visits the art museum about
once a week. She had worked with
Mrs. Warner some 25 years before
taking over the directorship of the
museum.
One of the focal points of the
museum is the court, open to the j
sky, which was designed by former
Dean K. F. Lawrence of the arch- i
itecture school. The court was de
voted to the portrayal of the life
and character of President Camp
bell. Much of the artistic interior
was done by friends and pupils
of the art lover.
Ornaments Skillfully Carved
The green tiled reflecting pool
is surrounded by gracefully arched
corridors. Supporting the corridor
roofs are limestone columns with
skillfully ornamented capitals
carved by S. J. Patton. They de
pict small birds and animal life of
Oregon. University students as
sisted professor Richard W\ Bock
on modeling and casting the cap
itals.
Mounted on the interior wall are
a series of seven panels executed
in relief sculpture by Bock. Each
panel symbolizes an attribute of
character which was typical of the
late President Campbell.
Steps Given by Class
A pedestal at the far end sup
ports a lifesize bronze bust of
Campbell. The marble pedestal and
steps were contributed by the class
| of 1928. Above the pedestal is a
; dome constructed of gold glass
mosaic which sheds a warm glow
over the immediate interiors.
The fountain is flanked by B>
zantine style lunettes, or nympba,
playing their flutes. They weie
modeled by Oliver L. Barret, for
mer University art instructor. !
The caretakers of the musenifc
are Winslow Cuthbert and Ray
Sherwin. They have 12 hours shifts,
from noon to midnight and from
midnight until noon. Mrs. Warner
wanted someone to be in the mu
seum at all times, due to her fear
of possible burglaries. The two
caretakers alternate their shifts
each month.
