Annuitant Night Editor a Julia Currie, Jean Garman, Thornton Shuw, Mildred Dobbins A Tribute to Mrs. Gerlinger JF THIS edition of the Emerald could bo dedicated to any one person, it would be dedicated to Mrs. Irene II. (Jerlinger, who for 12 years has been a member of the hoard of regents of the university, the donor of the (Jerlinger enp, and the vice president of the Alumni Holding company, and who, more than any other one person eonuected with the university, has been instrumental in bringing beauty into the lives of the students —and beauty is a tiling to he most desired in the life of a man. Mrs. (Jerlinger s work is well known; her indefatigable energy in soliciting funds for the Campbell Memorial fine arts building, which will become an art center for the entire state; in soliciting for the Poernbecher Memorial hospital, and in soliciting for the Woman’s building. More meaningful than these things, however, is the taste and the wisdom, the patience and the loving care which has gone into the planning of these buildings after they have been bought and paid for. bvory line in the Woman's building is a straight line, a good line. It is a solid building and belongs lo a pioneer state. The furnishings of Alumni hall are way beyond the ordinary standards of anything we know in absolute simplicity and unity of arrangement. Hendricks hall and Susan Campbell ball, both of which were furnished under the direction of Mrs. (lerlinger, are famous the United Slates over for their good taste—and the place a girl lives in, its beauty or its bareness, will influence her whole life. The Doe rn bee her hospital, which has treated over il.OOO children in two years and nearly 4,000’ clinic, patients is the work of Mrs. (lerlinger. This is a thing of mercy—and it makes the lives of children beautiful, straight and whole. So, it is for the intangible things: the patience, the no bility. the depth id vision, the charity, the generosity, rather than for the executive ability, the entirely practical things, that we thank Mrs. (lerlinger. Hoi woi k and her life have become a symbol o! loveliness. Frosh Viewpoint on Steps I was a child, I played as a child; I thought as a child. Hut when I became a man, I put away childishj t lungs. ’ ’ Corporal punishment is a remnant of childhood, and yet every Criclay morning freshman men are subjected to a pad dling. Wind good does this chastisement do the frosh who has already been much chastised in his living organization? None, evidently, or tile punishment would in time get less and less until at the end of the term it would be almost, nil. Moreover, the use of force is always a tacit admission of the failure of personality and character. If it is necessary with men who are old enough to go out into life and take up the worlds work, as most of the freshmen are, it shows the in efficiency and invalidity of | be tradition. Therefore, we. are opposed to die library steps procedure '• 11 im ""I a manly thing; it is not a dignified thing “• 11 ls ll"t accomplishing its purpose. II. It shows the foolish uessol the tradition it is teying to maintain. 4. It is an evidence id weakness in upperclassmen for which weakness we think less of them. —C. 11. 1 mie to Stop Library Steps A NOT11LK atavistic session known as “enforcement of tradi tions ’ took place on the library steps yesterday. We sin cerely doubt that the strenuous efforts of tile paddlers bad anv wholesome otloet m strengthening respeet for llir *)nliT oj the ■'(), ili,> Oregon Knights, or llio weak-kneed I radii ions which wore oiled hv those organizat ions as an excuse for their in excusable action. Keen more sincerely do wo doultt that one meiuhor of the paddling squad had any thought, of traditions as his stave des j ceinh'd. It is one of the incongruous things of the! ‘■aiupus that a supposedly enlightened student > ho-l\ can countt'iiauce such proceedings. Xo tradition is worthy of such support, marking' as it does some of the outstanding' students °* l,h-‘ muvrr.siiv as only slightly above kimler^art on iutelli U'eucc.

We nun all lie brothers under the skin, but not until we1 have truly discovered that we are will we attain the' interna tional mind. Say Hello C'RESHMEN arc in back of Oregon traditions and want to A boost those that are worth while to the skies. No intelligent person, however, accepts a tradition and perpetuates it merely because it was a custom before he was wearing short skirts or rompers. The freshmen are showing intelligence in their attitude toward the library steps, but the “hello” tradition, which seems to have been lost in the hurly* burly of paddles and paddle-wielders, was one of the distinc tive and personality invoking traits of the university. The freshmen want to .revive the tradition. We say “HELLO” to you. Please smile and say hello to us. /T'IIE staff which edited this paper wishes to thank tin; Emer aid, and -Mi-. George Turnbull, freshman newswriting ad viser, for this chance to express freshman ideas and having the responsibility of really doing all the work. CAMPUS/: lJfjnv Kditcir: Oregon is ;i student governed university, u Jnnd of the free, u democracy in itself. When elec tions roll around the cry goes up, “I’ll give your man n position if your house votes for my man.” I’ll give you a stick of candy if you’ll let me ride on your kiddie-car. The idea is fine. it brings power to the strong houses. Usually the best man wins. But doesn’t it make a sort of .joke of popular elections! The students vote but their stand is decided by a few politicians who may or may not know best, it is, of course, nothing to get excited about but a freshman coining into the thick of it gets a vivid impres sion of a feudal custom slightly out l»f place.

College Side Inn Aerial view of San Francisco A Novelty in ’71—A Necessity Today ACCORDING to old records the first passenger elevator in l San 1' rancisco was installed in a photographer’s gallery on Montgomery Street in 1871. Time has wrought great changes since then, and the San Francisco of today is a great city with many tall buildings in which Vertical Transportation is a necessity instead of a novelty. From coast to coast, American cities are constantly growing; populations increase each year, and buildings mount higher and higher. The Otis organization, which pioneered the way with the world s first safe elevator, is today meeting the needs of the present and planning to anticipate the requirements of the future.
