President Erb Says Harvard
Plan Would Not Work Here
By PAT ERICKSON
Impractical for Oregon, was the comment made by President Don
ald M. Erb on a new plan started at Harvard giving undergraduates
control in hiring and firing their teachers.
Asked unexpectedly what he thought of the Harvard plan, the
University’s new prexy thought there were a “lot of jokers” in the
idea.
Harvard students are endeavoring to give undergraduates real
Pomona College
Glee Club Offers
Concert Tonight
Singers Directed by
Ralph H. Lyman,
Ex-Music Dean
With one of the opening pro
grams of their 46th season, the
Pomona college glee club will pre
sent a concert to an audience at
the school of music auditorium at
8 o’clock Saturday night.
The 32-member group will pre
sent a series of numbers among
which will be the famous “Torch
bearers,” more popularly known as
“The Ghost Dance.” The dance is
one of the most famous college
songs ever written, and is an adap
tation of a weird Indian war dance
obtained in the early days of the
college by a Pomona student and
two professors who watched the
Indian ceremonial from a hiding
place on the slopes of San Jacinto
mountain.
Lyman to Direct
The men will be directed by
Ralph H. Lyman, formerly dean
i of the University of Oregon music
I school, and for 21 years in the ser
vice of Pomona college.
The Eugene concert will be one
of the most important of a series
of 35 concerts to be given in Cali
fornia and Oregon by the group.

join a party of engineers who will
make a geological study of the
mountains in southern Oregon.
Mr. E. K. Nixon, state director
of the department of geology, will
also be in the party who will work
through the mountains and on up
the coast.

dent committee representing eacl
department in the school. Th<
committee would have voting
power in the advancement or dis
missal of faculty members.
Saying, with reservations, thal
a student committee, if it wer<
non-voting, might be a feasible
plan for the University, Presidenl
Erb looks at the general idea o1
the Harvard committee as “ghast
ly.’'
A university, believes President
Erb, should attract students main
ly by the established advantages
it has there to offer. They are not
“shanghaider,” as he put it, into
attending college, and considering
that, they should come with the
idea of getting the best from what
is there, not trying to make the
school over for each individual.
“I shudder to think what such
a plan might lead to,” the presi
dent said. “For instance, differ
ences in opinions among students
themselves would be confusing.”
Most generally opinions are upt at
all unanimous. This lack of unity
among the students themselves
| would be a serious drawback, then,
i to the establishment of such a
plan as the Harvard committee.”

Gov. Martin
and
Bonneville
The allocation by the President of funds for the
construction of the Bonneville project was, in a
large measure, due to the activities of General Mar
tin while serving this State as a member of Congress.
%
Declaring that the project should be adminis
tered for the best interests of all the people in the
State, the Governor has, to this end, pledged himself
to co-operate with the President and Administrator
Ross in every way possible.
It was largely through his efforts that ship locks
were included in the Bonneville project—thus mak
ing it possible for sea-going* vessels to take on and
deliver cargoes as far up stream as The Dalles. lie
has never ceased his fight for the canalization of the
Upper Columbia in order that the grain growers and
shippers of the Inland Empire may enjoy such
favorable rates as are obtained through water com
petition.
