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

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.”
