On Vandalism
!Pioneer Statue Defacing
Especially Decried
Resentment, Not Reprisal
Is Immediate Need
On Campus
Arnold Bennett Hall, president
bf the University, issued the fol
lowing statement last night con
cerning the mutilating of campus
property early yesterday morning
by vandals:
“The spirit of vandalism ap
peared on our campus during the
night and for the first time it pro
faned our Oregon Pioneer. In
times past this work of art has
escaped. The fact that so priceless
a statue is no longer respected by
this lawless element makes it a
matter of unusual concern. I wish
to appeal to the student body as
persuasively as I know how to do
whatever is within its power to
create within the students them
selves a feeling of resentment
against such destructive practices.
This is a matter that only student
body opinion can effectively con
trol.
“Among the quick tempered,
short-sighted members of the
group there will be the temptation
to engage in reprisals. We know
from past experience that quite
frequently such acts are done by
our own students in an unworthy
effort to stir up the spirit of un
friendly rivalry and strife. The
present incident bears some ear
marks of home production. For
our student body to be duped into
such an effort would not only help
establish an unworthy tradition,
but would also indicate a degree of
folly which I believe our student
body as a whole is quite incapable.
"We are working hard to make
our campus more beautiful and
attractive. Already we have the
promise of a new art treasure to
be placed upon our campus this
spring which will be of priceless
value. If such things are to be
come the subjects of vandalism
and if our buildings and walks are
to become hideously disfigured, we
can scarcely hope for a high de
gree of cooperation from the peo
ple of the state in our program
looking toward the campus beau
tiful.
“The institutions of higher learn
ing throughout the state are striv
ing sincerely to win that degree of
public favor to which they believe
themselves entitled. They desire
to be regarded as effective instru
ments for the training of citizens
and the promotion of community
pride and community ideals. We
can scarcely claim to be worthy
of this role unless our students are
willing to repudiate such exhibi
tions of rowdyism and show a real
eagerness to eliminate from their
midst those who cannot fit them
selves into the real ideals and pur
poses of the University and the
student body. This is one of those
circumstances in which the repu
tation of the University must be
confided into the hands of its stu
dents. We do this with a sincere
hope and belief that our student
body will find a way of showing
its disapproval of such outbreaks
and establishing student thought
and traditions that will make their
repetition impossible in the future.”
“Arnold Bennett Hall.”

“Signs to Look for Which In

department, when he speaks dur
ing this afternoon’s Emerald of

Morris’ talk will be confined to
the situation as it exists in the

and which may be expected to her

Evans Presents
Fourth Twilight
Organ Progra m s
“To the Rising Sun,” the second
of the “Norwegian Tone Poems”
by Torjussen was the most popu
lar of the selections played by John
Stark Evans in his twilight organ
recital Sunday.
The “Allegro Moderato” from
the “Unfinished Symphony” and
the “Air from Suite in D” were
also liked because of their sweet
beautiful melodies.
A selection which perhaps dem
onstrated the ability and talent of
Mr. Evans more thah the others
was the "Seherzando Dragon
Flies,” a brief, light number de
scriptive in character.
The last number, "Hymn of
Glory” by Pietro Yon, contempo
rary composer, was dedicated to
the American Legion and appro
priate to Armistice Day because of
its various moods of grandeur and
warlike atmosphere.
The fact that there is no ap
plause probably accentuates the
impressiveness of the twilight re
citals, and this, together with Mr.
Evans’ talent and his discriminat
ing choice of selections, is why so
many students as well as towns
people, derive such enjoyment
from the recitals.

By BOY SIIKEOY
Cantor at McDonald
You have probably seen "Palmy
Days” by now and are dazedly
wondering just as this reviewer is,
how in the world so many beauti
ful girls could be assembled to
gether for one picture. They al
most steal the show from Eddie
Cantor himself, and that’s saying
something, for this little 130
pounds of concentrated lightning,
is causing laughs from the first
flicker of the screen to the last.
In this picture Eddie graduates
from being a prop boy for a ma
gician to the efficiency manager
of a great baking company whose
specialty is doughnuts. The work
ing girls in the plant wear very
few clothes, on account of the heat
probably, and as we said before,
these girls are not ordinary girls.
Charlotte Greenwood is gloriously
funny as the physical culture di
rector of the company. And there
is some great music.
Another point in favor of this
program is that there is no stage
advertising. At least there wasn’t
Sunday afternoon. The usual fea
tures fill out an excellent bill at
the McDonald.
“The New Adventures in Get
Rich-Quick Wallingford,” starring
William Haines and Leila Hyams

By RALPH MASON
Loretta Young at State
Are women sweet smelling fash
ion plates? That is what Robert
Williams calls them in the “Plat
inum Blonde,” featuring- Loretta
Young and Jean Harlow.
A house constantly rippling with
laughter gave proof of its approv
al of this picture which sparkles
with smart satire, witty come
backs and the Platinum Blonde.
Williams refers to his ten-dollar
flat as an outstanding example of
Oklahoman architecture dating
from the period of the Missouri
renaissance, plays hop-scotch on
the flag-stones and falls in love
with a girl who unsuccessfully
tries to make him a ‘‘bird in a
gilded cage.”
Jean Harlow is stunning in her
role as William’s Bohemian side
kick. The scenes of the press
room, while funny, plainly prove
that it is just one place where the
camera does not belong.
“Lover Come Back,” starring
Betty Bronson and Jack Mulhall,
is the entreating title of the film
coming for a three-day run to
morrow.
* * #
“Waterloo Bridge,” at Colonial
Punctuated by the toots of the
little cars on the London streets,
and bolstered with subtle English
humor, Sherwood’s drama “Way
terloo Bridge,” becomes a picture
that resembles quite closely “Jour
ney’s End” in several respects.
Starring Mae Clark "and Kent
Douglass in the leading roles, “Wa
terloo Bridge,” is characterized by
unusually fine acting, unadulter
ated comedy overshadowed, how
ever by biting irony and a swift
climax ending in stark tragedy.
Joe Daniels will present five
units of vodvil, “Varieties” on Wed
nesday and Thursday of this week
in addtion to "Forbidden Adven
tures,” the regular film.

Homecoming Hop

For Dance at Igloo
Saturday Night
Five hundred tickets for the an
nual Homecoming dance to be held
at McArthur court, Saturday eve
ning, are being placed on sale to
day at the Co-op and the various
living organizations, according to
Harry Schenk, business manager
of the Homecoming committee.
In order that the alumni and
others may secure tickets for the
dance, the sale will be extended to
Saturday. This Homecoming fea
ture will be the only dance on the
campus that evening.
Don DeForrest and his lt-piece
dance band, from Portland, have
been engaged for the affair. This
orchestra was formerly at Jantzcn
Beach and will bring plenty of en
tertainment to the campus.
“The decorations promise to be
novel and are being made by a
Portland decorating firm,” said
George Vaughan, in charge of dec
orations for the dance. “This is
the first time that the Igloo has
been completely decorated for a
Homecoming dance.”
Pootry Group Hoars Buyer
At Sunday Night Mooting
Dr. C. V. Boyer, dean of the
school of English, read from the
Icelandic sagas, at the Poetry
group meeting Sunday evening at
Kappa Alpha Theta.
After a brief analysis of the
sagas as a whole, he read parts
from the one known as "The Burnt
Neal." The account of the feud,
running through the saga, was ex
tremely interesting, as were those
selections which dealt with the
courtship and marriage customs
and with the payment of the “wcr
geld” or blood money.
Frosh in Church
Group Dramatize
Peace Problem
A one-act play, ‘‘Mother Earth
and Her Children,” was presented
by the freshman group of West
minster house last Sunday evening
at the Central Presbyterian church.
Taking world peace for its theme
this dramatization presented a hu
morous tale concerning the love
affairs of two sisters, Miltaria and
Pacifica, daughters of Mother
Earth, played by Pauline George,
Sage Madden and Laura Gold
smith respectively. Three jolly
suitors, Bob Poley, Harold Myers,
and Bill Gerhart as Orientus, Brit
tanicus, and Americus, all sought
fair Pacifca’s hand. They all failed,
however, and in turn fall for Mili
tary's line. At the last moment,
however, Tom Ballantyne, as the
handsome Utopia, appeared, fol
lowed by the logical conclusion.
