Emerald Inquiry Reveals
Artistic Controversy
D. L. Lewis Is Silent
Conditions for Approval
On Project Unknown
To Lindstrom
t By GEORGE CALLAS
Emphatically condemning the
inartistic painting and renovating
in the Women's building this sum
mer, Mrs. George T. Gerlinger,
guardian of the building, climaxed
a controversy on the matter by her
arrival on the campus last Friday
and by her subsequent statement
which appears elsewhere in this
issue.
Mrs. Gerlinger was summoned to
Eugene ],y the Emerald after re
ports which drifted into the office
were investigated. It was dis
covered that many students and
members of the art school con
sidered the work unfortunate.
Lewis Handles Work
This work wras one of several
projects that were undertaken this
summer by the University physical
paint under the direction of J. O
Lindstrom, business manager of
the University, who had charge of
the work during the absence of
Earl M. Pallett.
In planning the renoavtion of
the building Lindstrom called on
Donald L. Lewis, superintendent
of the University physical plant,
and specified the work that was to
be done. Two representatives of
Portland paint stores were called
who suggested several colors of
which one was chosen.
Caen Stone Painted
Mrs. Gerlinger particularly dis
approved of the renovation in
Alumni hall where a panel of caen
stone, a valuable importation was
painted in yellow, whereas it
should have been only washed. She
also objected to the antique effect
that was attempted on portions of
the room's woodwork, and the
bright glaze that was applied to
the ceiling.
Lindstrom stated that he was
unaware of Mrs. Gerlinger’s status
in connection with the edifice since
he is new on the campus, but that
had he known, he would have con
sulted her.
Will Attempt Correction
He added that he would do all
in his power to restore the caen
stone to its original condition and
atone for the mistake, since he had
no knowledge of the technical as
pects of the work.
Lewis declined to make a state
ment for the press when inter
viewed by a representative of the
Emerald.
Technical Dexterity Marks
Halbert’s Violin Program
By J. A. NEWTON
Howard Halbert, who appeared
last night in a violin concert pre
sented at the music building, is at
his best when playing selections
calling for unusual technical dex
terity.
In addition there is an intensity
and vigor of expression in his play
ing which fairly demands that the
listener “get” the musical feeling
which he sends out. His program
was of such a nature that this
phase of his abilities was given full
play.
The high spot of the program is
difficult to point out, since the
program itself is a musical high
spot.
The biggest number was the
Concerto in B Minor by Saint
Saens, consisting of three move
ments, the first and third being
particularly sweeping and dynamic
in effect, while the second was of
a melodic, quiet nature in good
contrast to them. Halbert executed
the second movement in excellent
taste and understanding, making
the most of the contrast.
Following this was “Zapateado"
by Sarasate, a number often at
tempted but seldom played. Hal
bert played it. It contains a jumble
of technical traps—pizzicato and
stacatto mixed, and lengthy pas
sages in harmonics. The audience
called for and received a repetition
The Improvization l,y Block was
a rather somber and wandering
number, moving uncertainly to a
strong climax.
The final number, the well
known Rondo Capriccioso Saint
Saens, was a number not heavy,
but sparkling enough to add a fin
ishing touch to a good program.
As an encore Halbert played
Schubert's Ave Maria with an in
terpretation full of delicacy and
the quiet reverence necessary to a:
selection of its nature.
Halbert has the ability for big
ger things than he has thus far'
attempted as far as concert ap
pearance are concerned. He may
some day realize upon that ability.
Speaker
Mohan V. Raj, much-traveled
Hindu student at the University,
will deliver his first lecture on the
campus this afternoon at 4 o’clock
at the Westminster house. His
talk will be a feature of a Y. \V.

ulty members are invited to attend

The faculty committee whose

Clark, director of general exten
sion and professor of history, is
chairman of the committee.

no required readings or written re
ports. Ora! discussion will be

Winner to Get Gup
First Day’s Subscription Is
Expected to Reach
500 Mark
Six houses reported 100 per cent
Oregana subscriptions in the va
rious organizations yesterday. The
six perfect scores were rolled up
by Pi Kappa Alpha, Zeta Tau Al
pha, Delta Gamma, Alpha Delta Pi,
Phi Mu, and Alpha Gamma Delta.
This list is not in the order of the
filing of results.
The winning fraternity in the
contest is obviously Pi Kappa Al

is made against possible errors,
said Newton Stearns, business
manager of the yearbook.
Winner to Receive Cup
The winning fraternity and so
rority will each receive a silver
loving cup, the cups now being
held by Delta Delta Delta and Pi
Kappa Alpha. Each 100 per cent
house will receive a free Oregana
for the chapter library. The sales
man in each house scoring 75 per
cent or higher in subscriptions will
receive an Oregana.
In order to simplify the figuring
of percentages where there are sis
ters or brothers in the house, the
two may be counted as one.
While returns are not complete
from all houses, the first day sub
scription sale is expected to reach
the 500 mark, according to Sam
Bikman, circulation manager.
Assistants Appointed
The appointment of Jack Mc
Girr, Margaret Petsch, Kenneth

Rooters' Lids If ill Be
Given Out at McArthur
Court Today for Game
Oregon rooters lids—six Inin
dred of them —will obtainable
at the A.S.U.O. offices begin
ning today for the small cash
deposit of seventy-five cents.
The hats, to be worn at the Ore
gon State game Saturday, en
title the wearer to a seat in the
rooters’ section on the fifty
yard line.
The seventy-five cent deposit
will be refunded upon the return
of the lids at any time subse
quent to the game, declares
Tom Stoddard, assistant gradu
ate manager.
The new arrangement regard
ing lids was made possible by
the graduate manager’s office
and the Oregon rally committee,
who were seeking a method in
which to make an improvement
over the poor showing made by
the Oregon rooting section in
last year's Beaver game.
“Oregon State’s rooters have
shown us up,’’ announced Joe
Renner, student body presi
dent, last night, "and we must
take some measuures to organ
ize our rooting section. It is up
to each student to cooperate by
getting a rooter's cap, wearing
a white shirt, and obeying the
commands of the yell leaders
and rally committeemen.”
Sproul Takes Rap
At Charges Made
Against Students
President ol’ University
Flays Vigilantes,
Violence
By Chandler Harris
(Editor University of California at
Los Angeles Daily Bruin)
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6—(Spec
ial to Emerald)—Doctor Robert G.
Sproul, president of the University
of California, today took a hand in
the controversy over “radicalism”
which has seethed on the campus
at U.C.L.A. growing out of the re
cent suspension of five students for
“communistic activities.”
Dr. Sproul took a slap at the
newly formed vigilantes, stating
that he disapproved “of commu
nists who use violence and I also
disapprove of vigilantes who use
violence. Both are nuisances and
one breeds the other.”
In response to questioning as to
the percentage of radicalism on the
U.C.L.A. campus, Dr. Sproul said
that students were the same all
over the nation. Dr. Moore, provost
of the Los Angeles institution, had
said that U.C.L.A. was a hot bed
of communism.
Various strikes scheduled at
U.C.L.A. and other institutions in
protest against the “communism”
charges failed to materialize.

Cockroach Stops
Pendulum Clock
In Main Library
Now a cockroach may be a per

has stopped “Father Time” at the

The pendulum wall clock of the

the other day, and, lifting up its
hands in horror, refused to move a
pendulum. A nasty cockroach had
lodged in its bosom.
Even now that the offender has
been rightfully removed “Master

Obsidian Group Hikes
To Hell’s Hole Sunday
Members of Obsidian, a hiking
club composed of Eugene people
and a few students, hiked to Hell’s
Hole Sunday, November 4.
The party, composed of 20 peo
ple, rode as far as the Western
Fir Logging camp near Westfir.
From there they hiked in seven
miles and forded one of the forks
of the Willamette river.
Hell's Hole is about 100 yards
long in length and about 200 feet
in depth. This slide is at the top
of a ridge which has slid down to
a lower level. The lateral displace
ment of the ridge is about 10 feet.
Hell’s Hole is an example of slump
faulting.
