TToVeinber 31 I&4I There's a Museum Distributed Through Willamette U's Walls By Junes Osaes Statesman Campus Correspondent Many Willamette university students and visitors to the campus have paced the halls of Eaton and Collins halls for many years obli vious to some rare articles or the numanmes ana science, nevertne-less- those articles have been on display in some 20 cases in the two . buildings and to more Interested observers have been wealth of re search and evidence. Put on display by Physical Science Prof Herman Clark, who has been curator of the articles since 1830, the articles represent about 23 per cent of a wealth of museum pieces which formerly made up the Willamette museum on the second floor of Waller halL Began ta 1M7 The museum began as such in 1 907, when Dr. James Lisle brought a huge assortment of ar ticles with him from Nebraska and cataloged them with pieces al ready at Willamette into a mu seum. They ranged from Oregon pioneer relics given to the univer sity from pioneers in the middle ISOOs to oriental objects, many of which were contributed by Lisle himself. .' The museum grew so large over the years that in 1942 it covered the entire second floor of Waller i and threatened encroachment on badly needed classroom space. In 1943, when the navy V-12 pro- Eam took ever, the museum had be crammed into half its form er space and the cost, space and full time demand on Prof. Clark led to its abandonment by the trustees In 1940. Now Clark keeps most of the Material in storage and switches the displays from this wealth of material, from year to year. . Exhibits now on display in Ea ten hall comprise implement tools, baskets and beadery handicraft works by Oregon, Alaskan and Mexican Indians. Included In the collection is a rare Indian princess necklace made of frogleg bones, prune pits rtd brass bits; a wooden canoe with paddling Indian warriors carved from a single piece of wood and a black figure-ornamented water vase molded by the Aztecs in Mexico. Some of several hundred In dian baskets take up a whole case display. Much of this collection was given by Salem s Cross fami ly five years ago and M. . Pal leske, now cf Eugene, donated many of the valuable baskets sev en years ago. Famed Collection Bought In 1938 Oregon Indian Arti facts, considered one of the rarest collections of Indian articles and wete, featured in the London Il lustrated News, were purchased by the university. Some of (hose ar ticles on display now include carved images of animals, fish and other mammal life in stone. Also in the Eaton collection js an India collection of stationery, surgical equipment and a two-foot-long opium pipe from Lisle's Oriental collection. Over in Collins hall the exhibits re of a scientific nature with geological works on the first floor nn biological on the second. Clark himself did a great deal of work on the geological collec tion, which is in his fields of in- Jtruction at Willamette, and Dr. for ton E. Peck contributed heavi ly in the biology display. Included In Peck's exhibit is a British Hon duras 32-bird collection with birds that range in fize from a small turkey to sparrows. He also has a case devoted to mammal study, which includes wild boars and smaller Jungle members of the eat family. According to Clark, the entire museum collection was greatly aided In the last century with largo collection from Wilbur aoa demy in Wilbur, Ore, contributed by early pioneers when Tether" Jtoyall presided over that Metho dist Institution.

I'd always been Intrigued by that particular section of the store myself but never did know just what the story was behind any of the treasure. m The other day I stopped by and talked to Helen and Zoe and they kinda showed me around their de- Eartment Now I know I have to aep my wife home. There were figurines from Italy, lamps and brass from China, xmi six boxes from Switzerland, Quim per china from France, ten pat terns of glass stem ware, old clocks, commodes, and chests from pioneer homes, gay bits of this and that, hand painted in the pea sant manner of Lith Kaye, and other curios from all over the .World. Have you ever heard of Royal Eopenhagen Christmas plates? ach year in Denmark an out standing artist is chosen to design the plate of the year. Immediate ly after that year the moulds are destroyed and the number made restricted. The first plates were made in 1895 and hav rinn h come collector's items sought by the discriminating all oyer the World. Each plate is dated and the paintings, depicting historical landmarks' and fairy tale scenes, are out of this World. Now this, I thought, would be e ideal Christmas present so I' ked Zoe the price of the plates. "They're ten. dollars," she told ne. Well, that's not so bad, I thought "How many art In the set, X ask ed. "Oh, they're? ten dollars each. They're really ? collector's items," Zoe replied just as easy. I didn't answer at once because it's difficult td talk when you've just swallowed your tongue. They're really worth it but I'm going to have to stick to collecting ma ten book covers awhile longer. That Quimper china is beauti ful too. Henriot Quimper lives in a small village in France and has made the section famous for the quaint provincial characters he paints on his china. Of particular interest at this time is the collection of distinct ive Christmas cards. Unique Peter Hunt designs, hand blocked prints by Les Cigales Studio in San Francisco, and the exclusive per sonalized creations from Alice Da ly's California Studios. The Daly Cards are created by the use of three - dimensional, life - like lit tie dolls and are the type of cards receivers remember above all oth ers. The story of Helen Becke and Zoe Maison is interesting, too. They started a little antique shop on Winter street some years ago and, like the beanstalk, they grew and grew and ; grew They soon outgrew their small quarters on Winter street and expanded to en larged space on Elfstrom's third floor. Their success can be attri buted to exquisite taste and their knowledge of what type of art ob jects the discriminating women want for their home.; But don't tell my wife about the "Gift Box." She has too many relatives and friends and, as I said before, she always was a "sucker for Christmas. See you next week.

AP Nowsfoataroa Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 2MP-You are away behind the times If you think men want wives who are beautiful but dumb, says Dr. Frances scoti. Dr. Scott is president of the National Federation of Business and Professional Womn (140,000 members). She is also associate professor of hygiene at Smith col lege. In both jobs she meets lots of girls and men. "I see silly girls who still think they have to do the 'Oh you great big strong man! act," she says. They don't get second dates. "College surveys show a man doesn't want a beautiful but dumb wife. He may like such compan ionship for an evening. But he wants a life partner with a few brains and ability td' use them. Times have changed. Partner and partnership are words frequent ly used by both men and women to express what they want in mar riage today." Dr. Scott - - a physician of 30 years standing --sees that change as typical of times in which the world is juggling more problems than ever before and women have extended their rights and activ ities to outstrip by far what they did in the past. "Another thing to consider is the greatly improved health of women," she says. "In 1800 we had such a fixed Idea that women couldn't do phy sical activity that mothers didn't even want their daughters to take gym. Now women in industries and nurses and WACS who work ed at the front have shown us that, given good health, today's woman can stand as much physi cal strain as men of comparable strength." Dr. Scott is a smartly coiffed, softly tailored woman with in telligent eyes and a friendly grin. Her creed is balance. She helps keep it in her life by frequent ses sions with her carpentry kit. Her father gave her one when she was five. In her Northampton, Mass. house she refinished floors, reset doors, changed locks and sawed and put up shelves. Dr. Scott believes the time has come for women to stop talking about women s rights and work harder on their responsibilities, to vote, to hold office and to be at least as interested as men in the civic and government affairs. "We have won most of the legal and civic rights and now we should get out in our communi ties and show what we can do with them," she says. ','In the next few years it is ex tremely important that two things be done. First, we must see that more qualified women are elected to office and appointed on boards of policy. Second, we must quali fy more women for those jobs. I cannot see that our communities are well served by government that Is about 99 per cent men. "Men and women look at life differently. A man is a very im personal sort of being in his bus iness and community. He thinks in terms of money and material. Women think of the world in terms of people - - of human re lationships. "Take a school board. Men are primarily concerned with the school plant, cost, budget, salar ies, appearances and the way the school reflect the pride of the community. Women look at the teacher that is dealing with their children, the safety of transpor tation, the food served and soon. If you have all of one sex on the school board - - or any other policy-making body --one set of these factors will be overempha sized at the expense of the other. What we need Is balance created by the thinking of both women and men."
