MOTHER’S PAGE OF THE OREGON DAILY EMERALD Better Oregon Discovered By Annual Meet Functions Prepare Youth For Better Citizenship, Says Dad Leader Fijdit Hundred Eighty-eiglit Attend Festivities Eighty hundred and eighty eight Oregon mothers, sons, anci daughters were present at the second Mother's Day banquet which was held in Gerlinger nail Saturday night as part of the Mother’s Day festivities of the campus. The banquet program included welcoming addresses from Gov ernor A. W. Norblad, Paul T. Shaw, president of Oregon Dads; and N. Thomas Stoddard, presi dent of the associated students, followed by a talk by Arnold Ben nett Hall, president of the Uni versity. Mrs. Walter M. Cook, president of Oregon Mothers, pre sided. “The celebration of Dad’s and Mother’s days on the Oregon cam pus, together with the late or ganization of the state board of higher education, marks the be ginning of a new era in higher education in the state of Oregon,” Governor Norblad said in his wel coming address. uuvcruur rvoroiau speaKS Governor Norblad stressed the fact that such functions were serving as means of developing a better Oregon. Extending greetings and con gratulations to the mothers from the parallel Dad’s organization, Taul T. Shaw stated that these parent organizations were assist ing the University in preparing the younger generation for better citizenship, and helping them to develop better characters, attri butes to be placed above the de veloping of splendid campuses with magnificent buildingss. “Why send your children to the university?” Dr. Hall asked in his address, “if you want them tc think as you do. Rather leave leave them at home, and their thinking will then be unimpaired by any contact with scientific thought and research.” University Has Three Functions Dr. Hall stressed the fact that one of the main objects of a uni versity education is that the stu dent learn to think for himself clearly and effectively, and with a strong spirit for research and a seeking after the truths of life. The three-fold functions of the university, Dr. Hall said, are training of the sons and daughters, the carrying on of a program of research, and the conducting of a program of adult education. Of the first named function, he pointed out, that first, the intel lectual; and second, the emotional and spiritual development of the students were necessary. Under the intellectual training, come primarily the lessons of clear thinking, loving the truth, devel oping of intellectual integrity, cul tivating a judgment widely exer cised, and obtaining a profound insight. Emotions Must Be Directed “Young peoples’ emotional out let must be directed to the aes thetic, the noble, and the sublime,’ Dr. Hall said in discussing the emotional and spiritual training of young people of today. Life is an unceasing struggle between a better and a poorer na ture, he explained, and it is through the development of appre ciation of the beauty in art, drama and literature that young people can find means of overcoming this problem. Following Dr. Hall's speech, of ficers for the coming year were introduced as follows: Mrs. Waltei E. Cook, Portland, president; Mrs W. F. Bond. Pendleton, vice-presi dent; and Mrs. Wilson F. Jewett Eugene, treasurer. Six new members were electee to the general state committee They are: Mrs. E. E. Gore, Med ford: Mrs. John Travis, Portland Mrs. Herbert Templeton, Portland Mrs. O. F.

President of Mothers Avers rTis Thrill To Be Renominated A charming mother with spark- j ling eyes was “thrilled” when the | 'nominations for new officers were read at the Saturday mass meet ing of Oregon mothers, for she i was renominated as its president. Her nomination, along with the others, was accepted unanimous ly A dozen mothers, and President Hall were all trying to talk to her after the meeting, cameramen shouting for pictures, and a re porter was trying to interview her, when it was then 5:15, and she had to dress for the banquet scheduled for 5:30. Through all she was the same charming moth er of Betty Cook, Mrs. Walter M. Cook, of Portland. “I love it,” was her expression of the Oregon campus, “and I love my work with the mothers. I was sorry to miss the water carnival this morning, But we had an.exec I :-1* jtive meeting, and a luncheon at Dr. Hall’s that were fine. We are iust a new organization, but we lave accomplished something al ready.” (This might be sustained by the amount of money the moth ers raised in a rather short time for the new infirmary. It amounts to something over $9,000.) “Early this morning we had breakfast at Peters’ Lodge, and enjoyed it im mensely.” “Well, I must be going now. Use all the nice adjectives you can think of describing how I like the Oregon campus." “No, save some for me,” said Mrs. Willard Bond, of Pendleton, the newly elected vice-president of the mothers’ organization, as both got into cars, hurrying down town to the hotel to dress for the ban quet. Mrs. Cook left immediately after the banquet for Portland, as her mother was gravely ill. Who Were Mothers? * * * v- ! Writer Couldn't Tell I Saturday came but no Oregon j Mothers. As far as appearances were concerned the University might have been an orphan asy- ! lum. As the writer stood de- J spondently contemplating the j dearth of Mothers an occasional j girl passed wearing the little yel- , low badge of an Oregon Mother. Proxies, no doubt. Their youth ful appearance precluded the pos sibility of their being actual Ore gon Mothers. A charming femin ine voice interrupted at this point i and proved to belong to a sweet girl graduate of last June who had j returned to enjoy the festivities of the week-end. After telling the (writer how handsome he looked in white knickers, she rolled those ■ big blue eyes up at him (me) and said: “And do you know, Joe, they took me for an Oregon Mother?” EMERALD OF THE AIR - By THOItNTON GALE - “Congress Club” will be featured tonight over KORE by “Emerald of the Air,” in line with series of broadcasts presenting honorary clubs and fraternities of the cam pus, announced Art Potwin, direc tor of the broadcasts last night. Their program will consist of mu sical numbers and a dialogue sat ire of Congress, which will occupy ten minutes of the usual KORE hour. A trio composed of Bob Good rich, Kelley Slocum, and Slug Pal mer, will sing a variety of vocal numbers. The boys have all ap peared before the microphone be fore, but this will be their first appearance as a trio. Bob Good rich will also be featured in some solo work. Goodrich has done a lot of singing with KORE and the station has received a lot of re quests for bis re-engagement. John Finley, accordionist, will play several numbers on his in strument. This will be Finley’s second appearance at KORE, and judging from his last program, he will be plenty good. Hal Hatton, popular campus ! tap dancer, will do two tap danc t es for the radio audience, via the j microphone. j Although it has not been defin i itely settled as yet, tentative ar ! laugements have been made for Dr. Clarence W. Spears, varsiy football coach to deliver a short address on Wednesday night on “Oregon’s Football Chances for the 1930 Season.” Beta, Tri Delt Win Attendance Cups Awards Given for Houses Having Most Mothers Beta Theta Pi and Delta Delta Delta won the cups donated by Mrs. Charles Hall and Mrs. F.
