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

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.

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.

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.
