Jade Buddha, Dragon Displayed at Thayer
The buddha is of grey green jade with gold armlets. It is sitting in an attitude of meditation, with hands clasper and resting in its lap.
A jade buddha and jade Ju-I-Sceptre are being shown in the Masterpiece of the Month case at Thayer museum for April.
The Ju-I-Sceptre is made of white jade, and is a dragon carved in relief: It was once the sceptre of statesmen and sages and its possessor is supposed to get whatever he desires.
Jade was known in China as the "lucky stone" and the Chinese sages have always revered it above all other stones. They believed that jade was a protection against misfortune, considering it an omen of good luck, slow and sure.
Confucius compared jade to virtue, saying that it is warm, liquid, strong, and firm like politeness, and like truth it gives out a bright rainbow.

Denver—(ACP)—Peacetime military conscription was favored by a scant majority of University of Denver students in a sample ballot conducted by The Clarion poll staff this week.
Denver U. Favors Postwar Conscription
The poll results showed that more women voted "yes" than did men. Most of the men gave negative opinions and stated that they felt such policy would not be sufficient to prevent wars. Those men in favor of this proposal stated that it would serve to build up the coming generation physically.
Of the 300 students contacted at the School of Commerce and on campus, 54 per cent voted in favor of the proposed plan while 44 per cent voted the plan down. Two per cent were undecided in the matter.
Other reasons given for peacetime military conscription were that it would prevent future wars, promote national health, and maintain national safety.
"Training such as this would be a means of being safe instead of sorry," one girl answered, while another wrote, "I am not so optimistic that I believe in permanent peace."
"A large trained military organization is not conducive to peace," a Commercial claimed. While most of the voters wanted some type of peace-time conscription, 51 per cent of students voting believe that no action on the plan should be taken until after the war. Only 37 per cent want immediate action on the plan, and 12 per cent were undecided. This would indicate that even those
Those opposing the issue for the most part agreed that a peacetime drafted army would only lead to more wars.

Would Eliminate YMCA. Jay Janes
Don Cousins, Navy trainee, member of the council, suggested a mere modification of the present system, with elimination of representatives from organizations such as Jay James and Y.M.C.A.
Students objected to this plan on the basis of politics, saying that these organization representatives are the only council members who are comparatively free from political sway, and that politics would be come even more corrupt and student government more undemocratic if such a plan were followed.
"At K.U.." Miss Bixby said, "this is not true, for all the parties on the Hill are working for the same thing. At election time, party platforms are basically the same, without any collaboration."
Parties Have Same Objective
The three plans drawn up by the elections committee were not discussed fully at the meeting, but plan three received more emphasis than the others.

Plan one, in addition to the elimination of organisation representation, suggests that the campus be districted, with representatives from each district chosen proportionately.
Plan two, will abolish the present districting system and establish a new system by dividing the men and the women, each group to be represented proportionately on the council. There are to be no organization representatives under this plan.
Plan three, eliminating organization representatives, sets up three divisions, Greeks, organized Independents, and unorganized Independents. These divisions in turn will be divided into divisions of men and women, each to be represented proportionately.
