PE Building
Will Have No
Natatorium
Insufficient Funds Given
For New Pool, States
Dean Bovard
Plans Being Rushed for
Early Construction
Oregon's $350,000 physical edu
cation building will not include a
natatorium or swimming tank.
“The board told us that whatever
we should do in planning for the
new building, we should do it
right,” Dean J. F. Bovard of the
school of physical education stated
today.
With the funds available, the
pool could not be included in the
building without sacrificing.rame of
the original plans, or not “doing
them right,” according to Bovard.
Total Cost Too High
Using the unit system, plans for
a natatorium which would seat
several thousand people were sub
mitted for estimate along with
those for the administrative and
activities units. The total cost of
the project would then range from
$150,000 to $250,000, too high for
construction this year.
Dean Bovard stated that the in
clusion of the tank within the ac
tivities unit could be done only on
a small scale with space for spec
tators eliminated almost entirely.
Because of the growing interest
in swimming and the fine record
of the Oregon team, Bovard feels
that such a move would be more
expensive in the long run, would
not improve present conditions, and
would he unwise in general.
Remodeling Considered
The possibility of remodeling
the pool in the men’s gym with 600
bleacher seats extending back from
the tank is now under considera
tion, but funds have not yet been
appropriated. The work would
probably have to be financed by
the University.
President C. V. Boyer could not
be reached last night for a state
ment in regard to the remodeling
of the gym. The military depart
ment may ask for the use of part
of the building when the physical
education school enters its new
quarters.
In order that the ASUO might
handle the intercollegiate swim
ming meets, ticket booths would
be installed at the corner entrance
of the gym if it is remodeled.
Members of the physical educa
tion faculty are working feverish
ly to submit detailed plans for the
new building and its contents to
the architects.
If the plans are completed in
time, actual work may be started
| during the early winter months.
Original First Editions
Of Vanity Fair at Libe
Students who have found it a
pleasure to study the work of
Charles Dickens will be interested
to know that two of the original
first edition volumes of Vanity
Fair may he found on the shelves

These volumes, published in 1860,
were secured this summer from the
state library in New York. Of par
ticular interest is the general
makeup of the book and the styles
of printing used. The volumes are
in the basement of the building.
The Polynesian Society Journal
in 42 volumes is among other ad
ditions to the library this summer.

Marauder Eludes
Pursuit on Campus
Thief Holds Off Pursuers at Point of
Gun; Robbery Yields $270 in Loot
By Le Roy Mattingly
A daring daylight robber led
pursuers across the campus early
yesterday afternoon and twice
saved himself from capture with a
well-worn revolver and the warn
ing, “Stop or I’ll shoot hell out of
you.” He was still at large late last
evening.
Carrying about $270 in loot from
the home of E. H. Hall, 2174 Fair
mount, the robber twice held off
pursuers at the point of a gun and,
finally disappeared near Villard
ball, eluding Abram Merritt, busi
ness administration student, and a
group of student FERA workers.
Dressed in a blue cheviot suit,
light shirt and hat, reddish of com
plexion, 23 to 25 years of age, and
with a jagged tear in the seat of
bis neatly pressed pants, the robber
won his freedom when a group of
student FERA workers failed to
answer Merritt’s call for assistance
until their quarry pulled a gun on
bis pursurer on the Anchorage
porch.
Robs Hall Residence
Chase began in Fairmount when
neighbors noticed a strange man
playing with a dog in the Hall yard
and a moment latter moving about
in the house. They called Hall, who,
accompanied by Jennings King, 115
E. 11th stret, rushed to his home
to find the robber gone with jewel
ry valued at $250 and $20 in cash.
Entrance had been effected by
smashing the glass in the bathroom
window and unlatching the catch.
Hall picked up the thief near the
University campus and was held
off at the point of a gun. He stopped
Merritt who was riding on a Uni
versity truck.
Joining the hunt near the men's
dormitory, Merritt followed past
the,, rear entrance to Johnson hall
and sighted the burglar on eleventh
street as he was walking west.
Merritt asked student FERA
workers to aid in the capture.
The man became alarmed and
cut back up the street, across a
fence and across the tracks.
Cornered at Anchorage
Continuing the chase’ alone, Mer
ritt cornered him along the mill
race and chased him' across the
Anchorage porch.
Three feet behind and gaining
rapidly, Merritt stepped off t.bC j
porch and found himself looking;,
into the muzzle of a gun. “Get the
hell out of here or I’ll shoot,” the '
cornered man said. ■;
Coolly taking the risk of crossing .
the campus once more, the thief
went back up the steps in front of.
Villard hall losing the group of
students who finally came to Mer
ritt’s aid.
Dean W. L. Morse

Van Vliet Charges
To Play First Tilt
Despite several unforseen handi
caps, Maury Van Vliet, former U.
of O. grid star and now coach at
University high school, expects his
team to make a creditable showing
when it opens its 1935 conference
schedule against the reputedly
storng Albany high eleven here to
' night.
Van Vliet is a little skeptical over
the outcome of the encounter prin
cipally because of the fact that Al
bany has won its first two games
by convincingly large margins.
However, he does expect to get a
good line on the strength of his
team and the qualities of his in
dividual players.
With only eight returning letter
men, the former Webfoot flash is
as a decided disadvantage at plac
ing his men to their best advantage.
Despite their inexperience, most
of Maury’s proteges are big men
and the team should Average 175
pounds.
LETTERS UNC ALLED FOR
Two letters still remain uncalled
for at the office of the dean of
women, it wa* announced today.
These are for Eileen Moore and
Myrtle Pulled*.,.
Three-fourths of the army's total

third of its total on those services,

patrol, scouting and observation.

Oregon Graduates Treated
To Typical Chicago Scene
Chicago believes in staging an
appropriate show for the entertain
ment of visitors from the ‘‘wild’’
west is the impression received by
Miss Madeleine Gilbert, '34, who is
now enrolled in the school of social
service administration at Chicago
university. The demonstration put
on for her entertainment included
an attempted bank robbery by sev
en masked men with the attendant
machine gun fire and a defusive
barrage of tear gas.
It all happened last Monday
when the young lady went with
her uncle, Willard Shaver, ex-'14,‘
to do a little banking business atr
the University State*bank. Leav
ing her uncle to adjust the final
details in the banking transaction,
Madeleine went acitwa the street
on an errand. "
On her return Miss Gilbert found
a crowd assembled wfidre a group
of masked men had shot down the
guard and a woman near him. The
robbery was averted by turning
loose the tear gas. Customers, in
cluding Mr. Shaver, were compelled
to lie prone on the floor of the
bank lobby to escape the gunfire
and the blinding gas.
The after effects of the gas were
so damaging that Mr. Shaver was
compelled to take the remainder
of the day off after giving his de
scription of the gang to the Chi
cago police.
As the hold up men fled from the
scene of the robbery the police
gave chase and in the machine gun
fire three officers of the law were
Wounded.
information regarding this un
usual introduction to the life of the
W4ndy city was conveyed in a let
ter froip Miss Gilbert to her mothr
er, Mrs. James H. Gilbert. The let*
ter was accompanied by a clipping
from a Chicago newspaper with a
banner headline referring to the
attempted robbery and the shoot
ing that attended the event.
