Plan To Move
LJ.O. to O.S.C.
Resolution Condemns
Proposed Action
Cost Per Student Declared
Greater in Merged
Institutions
The Oregon Mothers at their
mass meeting Saturday morning
went on record in a resolution as
deploring and condemning the pro
posed plan for the consolidation
of the University and the state
college on one campus at Corvallis.
“We pledge our militant support
to any means by which such a
move can be defeated and urge
the cooperation of all progressive
friends of higher education in help
ing defeat a proposal so wasteful,
so demoralizing in its tendency
and so far-reaching in its destruct
ive consequences,” the resolution
said.
The average cost per student in
states where the combined system
is in effect is $50 greater per stu
dent than under the two-campus
system, the resolution said, quot
ing the U. S. bureau of education
as authority for* the estimate. The
average investment was declared
to be 37 per cent higher.
The resolution follows:
Whereas the State Board of
higher education has sought con
scientiously to reorganize the state
system of higher education along
the lines recommended by the Ore
gon Survey made by the U. S. of
fice of education, with the con
centration of work in acience, ap
plied science and technical schools
on the Corvallis campus and with
liberal arts work in literature, fine
arts, social science and the asso
ciated professional schools on the
campus at Eugene, and has, by this
action, eliminated every form of
unnecessary duplication and pro
vided for a unified administration
to insure coordination and devo
tion to the common purpose of ma
terial, intellectual and spiritual de
velopment of our commonwealth,
and
Whereas the state board has,
through the unified system and un
der the stress of a grave financial
emergency, accomp 1 i s h e d far
reaching economies by which a de
ficiency of $1,181,000 resulting
from the referendum on the appro
priation for higher education has
already been met and are’now for
mulating plans by which a further
reduction of more than a half mil
lion dollars will be made fof the
next ensuing fiscal period; and
Whereas by theso economies the
state support for higher education
has been reduced to a point where
few, if any, states in the Union
fall below it and to a point where
further economies in most
branches of higher education can
not be expected, except by para
lyzing and demoralizing the en
tire system; and
Whereas figures obtained from
the United States Office of Edu
cation show that in states where
universities and land grant col
leges are combined into one, the
average state support per student
for maintenance and operation
rises to nearly fifty dollars above
the average of states where insti
tutions are separately maintained,
and the average investment in
buildings per student is 37 per
cent higher in states with consoli
dated institutions than in states
where university and land grant
colleges are separately m a 1 n
tained; and

'Pioneer Mother’ Unveiled
i
With Impressive Ceremony
The highlight of the Junior
Week-end and Mother’s Day fes
tivities on the campus came Sat
urday afternoon in the unveiling
of the “Pioneer Mother” statue,
gift to the University of Burt
Brown Barker, vice-president.
The unveiling ceremony was per
formed by Barbara Barker, daugh
ter of the donor, assisted by Anne
Kistner, Beth Ann Johnson, Mar
garet Goodrich, and Helen Temple
ton.
Arnold Bennett Hall, president
of the University, presided at the
ceremonies, and read a letter from
President Hoover to Mr. Barker,
commending him upon his gift to
the University.
A letter of gift was read by Mr.
Barker, formally presenting the
statue to the University and to
the state. C. L. Starr, chairman
of the state board of higher edu
cation, made the acceptance in the
name of the state.
A prayer by Rev. William Henry
Meyers, Civil war veteran, and a
number, “Candle Light,” by the
University polyphonic choir, con
cluded the ceremonies preceding
the unveiling.
The statue is the work of A.
Phimister Proctor, noted sculptor,
who ulso created “The Pioneer”
statue on the northern part of the
campus. It is a memorial to Mr.
Barker’s mother, Elvira Brown
Barker, and is dedicated to the
pioneer mothers.
Unlike most statues dedicated to
the pioneers, the Pioneer Mother
does not depict the struggles and
hardships which characterized pio
neering, but shows “the pioneer
mother in the sunset of her life,
drinking in the beauty and peace
of the afterglow of her twilight
days,” as Mr. Barker himself has
expressed it.
The statue, executed in bronze,
pictures the pioneer mother rest
ing in her chair, with Bible in
hand. It is placed on a base of
pink granite, located in the wom
en’s quadrangle, between the two
women’s dormitories, and in front
of Gerlinger hall, the women’s
building. The following inscrip
tion, penned by Mr. Barker, ap
pears on the base:
“Others have perpetuated her
struggles; I want to perpetuate
the peace which followed her
struggles. Others have perpetu
ated her adventure; I want to per
petuate the spirit which made the
adventure possible, and the joy
which crowned her declining years
as she looked upon the fruits of
her labor and caught but a faint
glimpse of what it would mean
for posterity.”

Week-end. Awards were made Sat
urday evening at the Mothers’ day
banquet by Mrs. F. W. Bond, re
tiring president of the Mothers’ or
ganization.
Between 800 and 900 mothers
and their sons and daughters at
tended the banquet, which official
ly brought to a close the festivi
ties of the week-end. Dr. Arnold
Bennett Hall, president of the Uni
versity, made what was probably
his last appearance at a Mother’s
day gathering at the University
ar.d was the principal speaker.
Mothers Fight Unification
A resolution urging the militant
support of the Oregon Mothers in
fighting the consolidation of the
University with Oregon State at
Corvallis was read at the banquet
by Mrs. J. F. Hill of Portland. The
resolution was adopted.
One hundred pioneers were hon
or guests at the banquet, sitting
at the center table. Cal Young of
Eugene was the principal pioneer
guest.
Dr. Hall, in his talk to the moth- j
ers, appealed to them to keep in
close contact with their sons and
daughters while they are in school.
“You send your children here for
four years, and come down to visit
them, meet their instructors, talk
over their problems, and meet
their friends semi-occasionally, yet
you would not entrust the building
of your home to an architect and
contractor with such negligent su
pervision,” the president declared,
i Home Support Needed
The opportunity for training and
developing the finer emotions, ap
preciation of the finer things in
life, are necessary in an educa
tional system, Dr. Hall asserted, |
but these can only best be achieved
through the much needed support
of the home.
In touching on the reorganiza
tion of the educational system of
the state, the University president
predicted the “finest future for
higher education. We are building
on a sound foundation,” he said.
“Rather than dissolving, the Ore
gon Mothers must become even
! more effective and dominant. The
need for them is developing a body;
i of campus ideals, hopes, intellec
j tual aspirations, and integrity is !
! becoming more and more appar
ent every day.”
Other speakers on the program
included C. L. Starr, who brought
greetings from the state board of
higher education, of which he is
chairman; Brian Mimnaugh, A. S.
U. O. prexy, who welcomed the
mothers for the student body; R.
A. Booth of Eugene, who spoke for
the pioneers; Mrs. Thomas Wells
! of Eugene; Howard McKinley
| Corning of Portland, who read his 1
poem, “Horizon Women;" Mrs.
i Walter M. Cook of Portland, hon
! orary president of the mothers,
who presented a mother's pin to
Mrs. Burt Brown Barker; and Mrs. i
F. W. Bond, who presided.
The student committee in charge
of the banquet were: Betty Anne
Macduff, chairman; Louise Ansley,
serving: Mary Jean Warner, dec
orations; Neal Bush, ushers; Jim

Symphony with Music
The greatest attraction of “Sym
phony of Six Million” for us was
the music. This show has one of
the finest musical scores we ever
heard in a show. Not the great
est, but one of the finest.
The main theme music seemed
to us to be one of the better known
of modern selections, but we could
not place it. One of the several
intensely dramatic scenes was
much enhanced by the famous
"Kol Nidre,” which was first
brought to the general public in
A1 Jolson’s “Jazz Singer” when
the talkies were young.
The story concerns a Jewish
family in the Ghetto of New York.
The ambitions of a business
minded brother of the humanity
minded doctor-hero leads the doc
tor to take up Park Avenue prac
tice—you know, telling all the
wealthy ladies to take these pills
three times a day and get plenty
of rest.
So he loses all his noble and
needy friends in the Ghetto and
eventually has to return for his
own happiness. Irene ounn as me
lame Jessica is particularly ap
pealing, and Ricardo Cortez once
more proves that he merits the
position he has worked up to in
the profession. But Anna Appel
hasn’t a chance against Marie
Dressier.
Traveltalk, and Thelma Todd
Zasu Pitts comedy.

Wonderful Singing
Lawrence Tibbett isn’t a won
derful actor, but he's a wonderful
singer, and that’ll get him past in
any show. He has a personality.
He’s at his best as a happy-go
lucky fellow who sings when and
where he feels like it. That man
can sing anything and make it
good music.
“The Cuban Love Song’’ is an
other show we would mark excel
lent. It has an extremely tender
and romantic love story for a plot,
and packs quite a lasting emo
tional kick. Lupe Valez is love
able and vivacious as usual. This
is the show which introduced “The
Peanut Vendor.” You'll never hear
it sung as Tibbett sings it. “The
Cuban Love Song” itself is already
famous. Don’t miss it.
