Straub May Be Name Of Dormitory j Seniors Propose Naming Of Hall After Dean Bust Being Made of “Grand Old Man”; Upperclassmen Favor Renaming of Sherry Ross A special committee of faculty members will meet at 2 p. m. today to confer on the proposed naming of the men's dormitory after the late John Straub, dean emeritus. If the committee, which was ap pointed by E. M. Pallett, registrar, decides that the dormitory should be so named, Mr. Pallett will sub mit a recommendation to the state board through Chancellor Kerr. The suggestion to change the name to honor the University’s “Grand Old Man" was previously submitted by the senior class to the board. The board was report ed to have been favorable, but de layed action because it felt that more knowledge of the situation was needed. Cecil Espy, president of the senior class, will be present at to • day's meeting. The senior class is havfng a bust made of the dean emeritus and is highly enthusias tic to have his name given to the dormitory. No definite comment on-the sit uation could be obtained regarding the proposal, but it was reported that the technicality regarding a land donation was not greatly in volved. The land had been given on condition that a hall bear the name of Sherry Ross. It was also reported that the committee might do one of three things at the meeting today. One is to recom mend the move. Another is to turn it down, and the, third is a. possible failure of the committee to complete its investigation.

Of Gift Statue | Pioneer Mother Unveiled, Dedicated Year Ago - ] Barker's Presentation Marked New Conception of Early Da> Theme , Just one year ago today a large campus gathering witnessed the unveiling of the statue of the Pio neer Mother, a gift of Burt Brtnvn Barker, vice-president of the Uni versity. The statue, which is sit uated in the women's quadrangle, was executed by A. Phimister Proctor, noted sculptor, and was dedicated to the memory of Mr. Barker’s mother, Elvira Brown Barker. A notable assemblage of Oregon pioneers were present at the dedi cation. Mr. Barker delivered the address of the day, tendering Inc gift to the University. The speech of acceptance was made by C. L. Starr, president of the state board of higher education. The statue is an entirely new conception of the theme of the pioneer mother. Other sculptures ! reveal her braving the hardships of the frontier days, aiding in carving out a home in the wilder ness. Mr. Barker pointed out that the Proctor representation of the pioneer mother rather portrayed her in the sunset days of her life, looking calmly and serenely across the scene of her earlier efforts. Commenting on his mother, tp whom the statue was dedicated, Barker said: “My mother endowed me with powers which teachers trained in to a love for beauty. Therefore, I wish to do honor to my mother, for without her zeal I would have fallen by th% way early in life. Accordingly, I wish to dedicate the statue of the Pioneer Woman of the State of Oregon in memory of my mother, Elvira Brown Bar ker.” In the editorial columns of to day’s issue is reprinted an edito rial commenting on the unveiling of the statue. Thirteen states and one Cana dian province are cooperating with the United States depart ment of agriculture in an effort to develop wheat strains for the soft winter wheat belt which will withstand winters better than present varieties. x — Dedicated One Year Ago Today Pioneer mother statue by A.

Bright Tobacco is another reason why Chesterfields are Milder and Taste Better i Mellowness is a quality you can’t get overnight. It has to begin in the young tobacco plants. And that’s one reason why we use just the right amount of "bright” tobacco from old Virginia, the Caro linas and Georgia. Because it’s full of Southern sunshine... with a fine, light color that "smiles right back at you.” We age this leaf for two years, and then blend and cross-blend it with the other kinds of Domestic and Turkish tobaccos in Chesterfield so you get a cigarette that’s milder and tastes better. • We believe you will thoroughly enjoy Chesterfields! (Jieste mm 11 1 1 © 1933, Liggett & Mvm Tobacco Co. r There are four absolutely different types of tobaccos in Chesterfield Ciga rettes. One of them is Bright Tobacco.
