SU Board Considers
Representation Chanae
The Student Union board Wed
nesday considered a plan to
change the method of selecting
new school representatives on the
board each year. *■
Changes, recommended by the
SU board executive committee,
call for the entire board to screen
petitioners. Previously, a joint
committee, composed of appointed
representatives from the SU board
and ASUO senate, has screened
applicants.
Actual appointment to the SU
board would still be made by the
university president, as before.
Board chairman Andy Berwick
cited two reasons for the change:
1. The SU board chairman, in
selecting board members at his
own discretion to serve on the
present joint screening committe,
could possibly control the resulting
appointment indirectly.
2. A position on the board is
considered important enough that
Eclipse Predicted
Monday Afternoon
Most of the United States will
witness a total eclipse of the moon
Monday, according to E. G. Eb
bighausen, associate professor of
physics.
The eclipse will begin at 4 :50 p.
m., five minutes before the moon
rises in Eugene. On Monday even
ing the sun will set at 5:03 and the
total eclipse will begin shortly af
ter. At 6:17 p. m. the moon will
reach the middle of the earth's
shadow and it will begin to come
out again at 6:47 p.m.
"By the end of the eclipse, the
moon will be fairly high in the
east," stated Ebbighausen. No
telescope or other optical aid will
be needed to view the eclipse. An
eclipse of the moon occurs about
two or three times a year and can
be seen over half of the globe.
(the board itself should make the
recommendations for appoint
! ments.
The plan was sent to a commit
tee for further study and will be
read at the meeting next week.
The board will vote on the change
j the following week.
Appointed to the committee to
investigate the plan were Malcolm
Montague, chairman, and Don Col
lin and R. C. Williams. ASUO
j president Tom Wrightson commit
! tee alternate, will take Collin’s
j place if he does not return to
school.
The board also approved revis
ions in the SU house organ. The
old name of “Chattersheet” will
bo replaced by "Union Crier,”
which was selected over "Union
Press” by the board.
"Union Crier,” which will be
distributed tp SU personnel Jan.
25, will have its nameplate print
ed on mimeograph paper by the
University press. Editorial con
tent which will include a few per
sonnel columns and items from
a national union bulletin, will be
mimeographed or dittoed, Berwick
said.
In other business the board sel
ected McArthur court as the loca
tion for the George Schearing con
cert Feb. 10. They set the price
of tickets at 85 cents.
Four petitioners for the board
vacancy of graduate school repre
sentative will be interviewed by
the joint screening committee next
week, according to Virginia Dail
ey, vide chairman of the board.
A change in the special attrac
tions committee was announced by
Berwick. The group, which has
previously selected attractions to
bring to the campus subject to
approval of the board, will take
over the additional job of handling
tickets, publicity and set-up ar
rangements of each attraction.

Faculty Adopts
Course Chanae
Starting next fall, all majors
in the college of liberal arts will
have to fulfill six-course group re
quirement as the result of a decis
ion made at the University fac
ulty meeting Wednesday after
noon.
In other actions at the meeting,
the group laid on the table a mo
tion by A. H. Kunz, head of the
chemistry department, to estab
lish a major in medical sciences
leading to the degree of bachelor
of arts or bachelor of science.
A motion to allow the substitu
tion of English for one of the for
eign languages required of foreign
students for the doctor of philoso
phy degree was passed. The mo
tion will affect only foreign stu
dents whose native language is
other than English and whose na
tive language is essential to their
research program, G. N. Belknap,
University editor, stated Wednes
day evening.
The new requirements for liberal
arts majors will mean that stu
dents will be required to complete
two sequences in each of the three
groups: science, social science and
arts and letters. Two upper divis
ion courses may be used to satisfy
the requirements.
Under the current system, with
a requirement of four-course
groups, students take one sequence
each in the three groups and a sec
ond sequence in any group they
choose.
Exactly how the new program
will go into effect was not known
by Belknap Wednesday. Whether
the program is effective with in
coming freshmen or includes stu
dents now enrolled in the Univer
sity will have to be decided by the
faculty committee, he said.
Oriental Art Topic

Jiro Harada, staff member of
the Tokyo National museum, will
speak on “The Art of the Priest

Millroce is Green;
Reasons Unknown
The Millrace was a bright
green today. Why, no one seem
ed able to find out.
A check with the city mana
®tr’ Robert Finlayson, brought
only a chuckle after a rather in
volved explanation of just what
was wrong with the Millrace.
He promised to contact 'the Em
eraid if he found out anything.
No one else came forth with
any explanation. One Campbell
club initiate was fishing off tha
Hilyard street bridge at noon
and evidently caught a couple of
fish. Various fraternities are
holding initiation this week, but
just who turned the water green
is not known.
Japan Influence
Shown in West
"Japanese Ukiyo-e art has had
a definite influence upon Western
art and especially upon the archi
tectural designs of Frank Lloyd
Wright," Wallace Baldinger, as
sociate professor of art, told an
over-flow crowd in the Student
Union browsing room Wednesday.
Illustrating his talk with many
slides of Japanese prints and pho
tographs, Baldinger said that the*
influence of the Japanese may ,b&
plainly seen in the work of famous.
American architect.
Wright has adopted the princi
ple of fusing a building’s form and
function, of making the furniture*’
an integral part of the construc
i tion and of a dependence of inter
ior and exterior upon each other
for an over-all effect.
Discussing the “Art of the Com
mon Man in Japan,” Baldinger
stressed the love of this common
man for nature and for life itself.
Many of the slides were photo
graphs taken by Baldinger last
year when he was in Japan study
ing the history of her art an A.
teaching the history of Wester rw
art at Kyoto.
