Entertainment section readers: On March 8 this newspaper printed a special feature article describing the visit of one of our reporters to a new restaurant called Louie’s Village, located at 947 Franklin Blvd. The restaurant, through its attorneys, has complained that the article contained false and defamatory statements. This newspaper takes the position that the statements of fact reported by our reporter are true and neither need nor deserve any retraction. However, if any statements in the article were false defamatory or misleading, we express our regrets and extend an apology for any such statements. In particular, with reference to a statement regarding the fortune cookies found in the last full paragraph of the article this newspaper acknowledges that such statements were made in jest and not seriously, and admits, therefore that such statement was not true. We do believe, however, that any establishment offering food and services to the general public invites truthful and candid comment upon that food and services and we reiterate that we will continue to bring our readers our recommendations in issues to come. At ASLJO hearings Draft Center asks for cut in budget By SCOTTA CALLISTER Of the Emerald Tom McGarry of the Dran and Military Information Center (DMIC) presented a $4,590 budget request during the executive budget bearings Friday morning. The request represents a $2,709 decrease from this year’s budget. Hearings for two new programs, the Community Video Access Center and the Office 01 Handicapped Student Support Services, were also held. The decrease in the DMIC budget is due to the present dormant draft system, according to McGarry. McGarry said that the program, which offers in formation to perse— in military reserve programs and counseling for Conscientious Objectors, has been concentrating on reaching 18-year-old men. He said that the Army has been recruiting in high schools, of fering “attractive packages” which include good pay, benefits and ROTC scholarships It is necessary to present an alternate viewpoint, he added.

What is firmly grasped cannot slip away. It will be honored from generation to generation.” A walk through the lobby of Lawrence Hall will show one the epitome of this ancient Japanese philosophy—the “living sculp tures” called Bonsai. The display is a selection of student work from Winter Tom’s Seminar an Bonsai class, offered through the department of Landscape Ar chitecture. Hie display ran he seen all this week. Hie Seminar on Bonsai class is taught by Bruce Balshone, a graduate student at the University. What is Bonsai? It is the Oriental gardening art oi dwarfing trees (and some other plants) and planting them in small, moveable containers. Balshone says the art was started by the Chinese but quickly picked up by the Japanese. Hie Japanese have been avid prac titioners of what they call “the art of living sculptures” for several centuries. The Imperial Collection of Bonsai in Japan contains many specimens well over 300 years old. In Japan Bonsai is regarded as a very formalized art with a great amount of significance, according to Balshone. As in the flower arranging art of Ikebana the number three is basic as it symbolizes man, heaven and earth. Therefore, branches are often pruned so as to grow tiers in SPRING SPECIAL VOLKSWAGEN ★ TUNE-UP Includes replacing plugs, points, lube and oil, valve cover gaskets. ★ DIAGNOSIS Over alt safety check, we check brakes, electrical system, tires, suspension system: Steerins. shocks.

Other significant num bers which are worked into the sculptures are one, two, three, five, seven or nine. Four (and multiples of four) are avoided as four is the symbol of death. The number two can be used, however, as it symbolizes the oriental concept of yin-yang. Bal shone explains the significance of Bonsai and its reference in nature by comparing it to the reference in nature found in Haiku poetry. In both Haiku and Bonsai the emotions of man are expressed by being given the physical dimensions of nature. There are five basic principles, or styles, to work with in Bonsai, the first is the Wind Swept style. This style is well-suited for native Oregon trees such as the Juniper. The other styles are the Grove, consisting of several trees in one container, the Nature Container, which consists in potting the plant in something like a hollowed rock (but Balshone cautions against using wood as it rots ton fast), the Formal Upngm, ana the Twin-Trunk planting Balshone says that Oregon is ery well suited for the practice jof Bonsai—the climate is right so die pots don’t crack, and man) natural specimens are available. Specimens can be obtained through a nursery or propogated from seeds, but the best specimens can usually be ob tained in the forest, he said. (A permit should be obtained fitnr the Forest Service before any plants are taken from wilderness areas according to Balshone.) For those who are tuinMng of trying their hand at Banal,, Balshone is quick to emphasize J that although these plants are, smaller versions of the tree* we are use to seeing, they are not house plants. They must be k®t outside if they are to live, just as any pine or juniper mist be kept' outside. “It’s really a crime," he says, “when someone gives a Bonsai as a gift (and it’s done often) and that person doesn’t really want to dedicate them-' selves to taking care of it. It’s even worse when some lady of the garden-circle type keeps a Juniper tree in her front room for three months! No wonder they die.” Balshone went on to explain that the display in Lawrence Hall is bing shown inside only because no other room was av»u«M» In the Japanese tradition of the home and family being basic to all life, part of the value of a Bonsai is that it is something you can keep forever. Balshone says Bonsai is not the sort of tabby you should begin if you want something to show for it im mediately. “Bonsai is something you have to commit yourself to. You begin one with the idea that this is something your grand children can have. It takes a least ten years before a Bonsai really begins to have any value.” There are many traditional plants for Bonsai, including Japanese Maple, Japanese Black Pine, White Japanese Pine, several types of Junipers and some types of Rhododendrons and Azaleas.
