Cards, flowers, dinner out — all for
MOM
Cards and phone calls will be the typical
response of most University students to
Mother’s Day this Sunday, according to
students interviewed Thursday
To make it easier to call Mom, the Eugene
Downtown Association is offering people free
calls anywhere in the continental United States
except Oregon on Saturday.
The association expects between 200 and
300 people to take advantage of the service
depending on the weather, says Ray Mclver,
manager of the downtown mall The phones
will be located in the central plaza downtown
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m
Most students interviewed Thursday
agreed that Mother's Day is a valuable holiday
"If you forget it, you live to regret it," says
Dan York, psychology senior. "I know the
value is there somewhere, but damned if I
know where ”
Bruce Sanchez, philosophy graduate
student, may have the answer "It's a day of
appreciation so your mother realizes you do
appreciate what she's done for you," he says
But not all students are totally positive
about Mother's Day
"I don't like it,” says David Westrick,
undeclared major "It makes you make a day
for mom, and you should tell her you love her
whenever you feel like it. Just one day for
mom? It seems kind of useless.” But he says
he'll still send his mom a card and flowers
"It's an excuse for everyone who neglects
their mother to not feel guilty," says Shelley
Lawrence, psychology junior She's going to
take her mother out to dinner.
“In my family, it is just another day," says
an English major who asked to remain anon
ymous "Birthdays and holidays make no dif
ference in my family, but personally I love
celebrating holidays. That's why I sent my
grandmother a card She’ll appreciate it more
than my mother would "
Annette Guidry, psychology junior, looks
at the holiday from a more feminist viewpoint
“It's a way to give women token credit one
day out of the year instead of each day of the
year as they deserve." she says "It's a token
day to pacify women and give validity to their
role as mother ”
Friends of the Library donate
a page out of printing’s past
A page from a Renaissance
romance printed less than 50
years after the invention of the
printing press has been given to
the University Library in recog
nition of its centennial this year
The Friends of the Library
gave an original excerpt from
the first printed version of Aldus
Pius Manutius' "Hypnerotma
chia Poliphilli," a romantic fan
tasy printed in 1499 The ex
cerpt is bound into an essay on
Manutius' work, written by
Theodore Lowe DeVinne and
printed in 1924 by the Grabhorn
Press of San Francisco
The gift represents examples
of the work of two excellent
printers, says Perry Morrison,
coordinator of library research
The 1499 printing of "Hyp
nerotomachia Poliphilli" is con
sidered the best book ever
completed by Aldus, and "in the
history of printing it ranks with
the most admired examples of
the art,” Morrison says
The DeVinne essay “is an ex
cellent example of the work
Everyone has fallen for
The woman Next Door’
“A love story of almost self-effacing
mastery. ‘The Woman Next Door'
is the work of one of the most
continually surprising directors of
hiS day. —Vincent Canby New Yofto Times

done by the Grabhorn famil^
generally regarded as the best
printers in the West — if not in
the entire United States — in the
20th century.” he says
"Additions such as this sup
port continuing scholarly inter
est in the history of printing,”
says James Boren English
professor and member of the
Friends of the Library. "In lieu of
complete volumes, even the
specimen page contained in the
Grabhorn Press publication
serves to illustrate classroom
lectures on the development
printing."
The Aldus volume, subtitled
"The Strife of Love in a Dreamy,
in an English translation. w£
written by Francesco Colonn?
a monk who lived in Venice The
story, a "best-seller" in its time
according to Morrison, tells of
Poliphilus wandering in an en
chanted forest and in classical
ruins in search of his love Polia
The book influenced other
writers well into the 17th cen
tury, Morrison says
He noted that Aldus is con
sidered the greatest printer of
his age
The library has other research
materials on Aldus, including
the Eugrammia Press facsimile
edition of the 1499 Aldus edition
and facsimiles of the 1592 Eng
lish translations, which were
printed on several presses
Other materials on the history
and development of printing al
so are available at the library
