VOLUME XXXV
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934
NUMBER 119
Audit Reveals
Illegal Subsidy
Given to Dorms
Funds Said Taken From
Educational Uses
OFFICIALS ARE MUM
Organizations Not Charged Heat,
Eight, and Water Expenses
Since Oct. 1, 1932
Funds designed for other educa
tional purposes have been subsi
dized by the state board of higher
education for several years to be
used in operating the University
of Oregon and Oregon State col
lege dormitories in violation of the
state law, revealed an audit of
the board of higher education,
yesterday.
The men’s dormitories at the
two schools have failed to meet
expenses from receipts, it was
shown by the state department
audit.
Bond issues financed the dormi
tories, under an act of the legis
lative, and these were to be re
tired from profits on their opera
tion.
The audit charged the board had
used educational funds improperly
by “making direct and individual
payments on the bonded indebted
ness of the men’s dormitory at the
University of Oregon and individ
ual payments on the indebtedness
of the men’s dormitory at the col
lege and of the Oregon Normal
school dormitory at Monmouth.
“This continued at the college
and the university for several
years.”
There was a steady increase in
annual payments due to a reduc
tion of dormitory receipts, the
audit declared.
Statements Misleading
The audit covered the period of
July 1, 1932, to June 30, 1933. As
sets and liabilities were listed at
$17,222,247.67.
Funds available during the year
were listed at $4,915,822.54.
“It appears,” the audit contin
ued, “that the state board of
higher education not only subsi
dized the dormitories but also sub
sidized some of the students by
indirectly paying for part of their
room and board, since the service
rendered the students using the
dormitories certainly has not been
charged to them in full, as evi
denced by the operating losses
shown by the statement.”
The audit labeled as “entirely
misleading,” statements made by
-the higher educational institutions,
and particularly Oregon State col
lege, to the effect that the “de
partment of dormitories has been
entirely self-sustaining.”
’ Claim Changes Not Made
The audit showed that charges
against dormitories at the college
for heat, light, power and water
have been reduced from a total of
$23,635.46 in 1930-31 to only
$605.68 in 1932-33. Charges for
the same services at the univer
sity were reduced from $10,125.98
for the year 1930-31 to $988.30 in
1932-33. Such reductions presum
ably were not savings but were
provided for by transfers from
other funds.
“Since Oct. 1, 1932, it has been
the practice to refrain from charg
ing the dormitories for heat, light,
water, some repairs and certain
telephone expenses. The result
has been twofold. The net income
of the dormitories has been in
creased and the records main
tained by the dormitories made

Moot Trial Decision Causes
Wintermeir Claim to Fail
The pries of three gallons of
gasoline crashed from $3365 to 68
cents, when a decision at the
fourth moot court trial awarded
Ward Wintermeier 68 cents dam
ages, instead of the $3365 he
asked, for losses claimed to be
caused by Bill Goodwin’s taking
three gallons of gas from Wrinter
meier’s car.
The damages asked by Winter
meier were for injuries and losses
incurred when he was robbed and
knocked unconscious by two thugs,
while walking for gasoline, the
evening of May 2.
That evening Bill Goodwin had
run out of gas, his car stalling
near W’interAeier’s, outside of the
law school. Goodwin went to the
law school to look fer W'inter
meier, but, unable to find him,
left a note and 75 cents in Winter
meier’s locjcer, saying: “Winter
meier :sI’m outa gas and need some
to get home on. I’ll take about
3 gal. from your bus. Here’s six.
bits to cover. Thanks. Goodwin.”
Wintermeier, however, did not
go to his locker that night, but
went for a ride. About four miles
from Eugene he ran out of gas,
and started to walk to a service
station. On his way, he was held
up, knocked unconscious, and
robbed of a watch and about fif
teen dollars.
Lawyers for Wintermeier, C. C.
Barkley and Charles Edwards,
claimed that Goodwin’s act in tak
ing the gas was wilful, malicious,
and unlawful, and proximately
caused damages to Wintermeier to

Miner Building
I Case in Hands
Of Circuit Court
Decision Will Be Known
In Several Weeks
DOUBT TAX STATUS
Cortland Security Savings and
Trnst Company Holds
lOugenr Property
Testimony in the case of the Se
curity Savings and Trust company
of Portland against Lanp county
concerning whether or not the
Miner building in Eugene is taxable
was completed Wednesday and the
case has been taken under advise
ment by Judge G. F. Skipworth in
circuit court. Judge Sqipworth
said last night that a decision
would not he reached for several
weeks.
The building was donated to the
University of Oregon by the late
W. E. Miner, and the property is
being held in trust by the Security
Savings and Trust company.
The contention of the plaintiff
is that it is exempt from taxes
claiming that it is now ownetl by
the state, but the attorneys for
the county contend that it is not
owned by the state and that the
state has not contro lover it. They
contend that the trust company
holds it under a trust agreement
for the benefit of the late W. E.
Miner and his brother, H. T. Miner,
and their creditors.
The attorneys for the plaintiff
make the contention that where
property is deeded to the state a
different rule applies than in cases
where it is deeded to a municipal
ity. in cases where a municipality
is given such property it is taxa
ble' unless used for corporate piff
poses, it was pointed out. The
plaintiff also contends that the
property being in trust, the same
rule is followed.

about the band players is quite
vague, one student stating that
“It’ll be ‘Red Penney’ and his four
nickels,’’ and another, that “Dean
Morse will lead the parade.’’
The feature originally planned
for the law school dance was a
reading of “The Face on the Bar
room Floor,” by Walter Hemp
stead. However, in view of the
fact that he has given this reading
every time for three years, it was
changed to “The Cremation of Sam

Anti-Military Ball
To Be Held Friday
in Gerlinger Hall
Bolling- Van Lydegraf Are New
Appointments; Ticket Sales
Reported Good
“I will not cross the boundaries
of another country to kill or de
stroy, nor will I support my gov
ernment in so doing.” This is the
pledge which will lie on a table
at the anti-military ball in Ger
linger hall on Friday, May 18,
from 9 to 12, to be signed by any
one who wishes to do so.
The pledge, written by Albert
W. Palmer, president of Chicago
Theological Seminary, appeared
about three weeks ago in the
Christian Century and is to be
presented next month to the Na
tional Council of Congregational
Churches in Oberlin, Ohio, ac
cording to Rev. Clay Palmer, pas
tor of the First Congregational
church of Eugene.
Final plans for the dance were
discussed last night at a meeting
in the Y hut, and a practice ses
sion was held by the verse-speak
ing choir which is to entertain
during the intermission.
Besides directorate members al
ready announced, Richard Bolling
was appointed clean-up chairman,
and Lester Van Lydegraf was ap
pointed to take charge of the
peace pledge. Harold March is
general chairman of the dance.
Through a misunderstanding,
Henry Ireland was mentioned yes
terday as co-chairman. Ireland is
music chairman, and has arranged
for Sherwood Burr’s orchestra to
play.
Verne Adams, ticket sale chair
man, reported good early sales,
but stressed the importance of
house representatives pushing the
tickets, which are only 50 cents
a couple. A small charge of 10
cents a couple will be charged for
checking service.
Eleven campus groups are spon
sors cf the ball. The Eugene
Council for the Prevention of War,
while not officially a sponsor, has
expressed its agreement with the
sentiments of the supporting
groups opposing war and war-like
attitudes, through Rev. Cecil F.
Ristow, president of the Eugene
chapter.
One of the brighter moments in
a ticket salesman's life was re
ported by Gottfried Hesse, Cosmo- j
politan club representative. An
anonymous donor has offered to
present, through Hesse, a free
ticket to the peace dance to any
coed who has converted a militar
ist into an anti-militarist.

Spring Concert
Of Gleemen Will
Be Held Tonight
Second Performance Is
Slated for Tomorrow
PROGRAM IS VARIED
H e a v y Classical Compositions,
Comical S8ngs, and Mystery
Number to Be Given
The annual spring concert of the
Eugene Gleemen, will take place in
the University school of music au
ditorium tonight at 8 p. m. with
another performance scheduled for
tomorrow night.
The foremost number will be
“Dark Valley,” arranged by John
Stark Evans, professor of voice at
the school of music, and director
of the 85-piece group. The concert
has been divided into two parts,
the first classical in nature, to be
followed by a series more informal.
Several University students and
faculty will have important parts
in the program, including George
Bishop, tenor, in Sir Arthur Sulli
van’s “The Lost Chord”; Earl Pal
lett, Don Eva, Clifford Constance,
and others. Cora Moore, who ap
peared here -recently will act as
accompanist.
Selections Added
The guest performer for the oc
casion, Austin Frye, will give a
special number. This part of the
program has been added since Sun
day. A “mystery” number will
also be presented.
The first series, includes classi
cal numbers, opening with an old
Dutch melody, "Prayer of Thanks
giving.” This song is by tradition
the opening composition on all
Gleemen programs. This will be
followed by Henschel’s “Morning
Hymn,” which begins with the soft
er tones depicting the dawn, and
gradually increases in volume in
the style of Grieg’s "Morning.”
A distinct change is noted in
“Drake’s Drum,” arranged by
Fletcher, in which the old “tar” of
the Spanish Armada fame instructs
modern sailors as only a sailor can
do. The program immediately re
verts to a penetrating study of
softer music, in “The Long Day
Closes,” by Sir Arthur Sullivan.
This number was written specifi
cally for men's choruses.
Composition Revived
Another Sullivan composition,
internationally known, "The Lost
Chord,” follows. In this number
Delbert Moore, instructor of mu
sic in Eugene public schools, plays
the violin obligato part, arranged
by Evans. This is a request num
ber.
The closing songs include “I’ll
Sing Thee Songs of Araby” by
Clay, and the aforementioned
"Dark Alley.” The fqrmer compo
sition was revived by the Gleemen
after it had been abandoned in
their concerts several years ago.
Jack Carpenter, tenor, sings the
incidental solo. The latter is the
better type of negro spiritual, sol
emn, and full of religious feeling.
The program from here on
swings over into a lighter, in fact,
more comical type of compositions.
The first number, “The Handorgan
Man,” by Von Othegraven, sung in
German dialect, in the fashion of
the rollicking German student
songs, will be sung by request. A
similar number is “Johnny
Schmocker,” arranged by Raphael
son. The constantly recurring
theme is
“Johnny Schmocker, dearest
comrade,
Can you sing, can you play?”
Johnny’s ability in these lines is
proven by the Gleemen, who per
form on the drum, triangle, trom

Latin Value Is in Reading
Inscriptions on Tombstones
At last the practical ‘‘hard
boiled” business man recognizes
the values of Latin—in reading in
scriptions on tombstones.
At any rate such might be the
assumption from a letter received
by Frederic S. Dunn, professor of
Latin, from the Virginia state
chamber of commerce, in response
to his note of commendation of
some of the publicity sent out
from the state of Virginia.
The letter from the state cham
ber of commerce follows:
“When a mellowed professor of
Latin takes the trouble to write
a note concerning the publicity of
a distant state, whether he is
pulling one’s leg or really genuine
in his appraisal of the effort, he
at least makes himself an eligible
target for additional publicity
shafts.
“I am having sent to you a copy
of the first number of the new
monthly magazine published by
the Virginia state chamber of
commerce, entitled ‘The Common
wealth,’ and will see that you re
ceive a copy of the spring number
of ‘Virginia,’ our pictorial review.
“When you are in the East,
don’t forget there are many things
of interest to a Latin scholar in
the Old Dominion, for many of our
tombstones of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries are inscribed
in Latin.”
