Vandals Ruin
HaywardField
Despite deliberate destruction to
Hayward field by an unidentified
car of vandals last Sunday night,
the Oregon-O.S.C. homecoming
game will still be played there
December 1.
According to Mike Steddom,
supervisor of athletic fields, re
pair of the field as it should be
done will cost $1000. “We will be
able to get the field playable by
the game,” he said, “but it will not
be in good condition.”
The vandals were forced to pull
up posts and drive through a space
79 inches wide to get onto the
field. They drove a car up and
down the field at break-neck
speed, virtually tearing the field
to pieces.
On the same evening the same
car drove across the campus be
tween Villard and the Art school
causing considerable damage
there.

Atomic Control
Not Feasable
Says Speaker
The three great words of
our age are opportunity, power
and responsibility, asserted
Dr. Perry E. Gresham, pastor
of the University Christian
church in Seattle, in an as
sembly sponsored by the Stu
dent Religious council yester
day at McArthur court.
“The war has broken up old
traditions and ideas, and remote
places are now familiar names,"
said Dr. Gresham. “Now is a time
of great opportunity to do some
thing significant."
Atomic Age
He explained that old habits and
customs of control have broken
down and that people can “ex
pect anything.”
Comparing the atom bomb to
a genii in a bottle Dr. Gresham
stated, “We have enough power’
to pull the cork out, but we can't,
control it."
The responsibility for guiding
the world now is in the hands of
the college students, Dr. Gresham
declared. “We have a part in it, a
part we cannot evade,” he said.

Chamber Music Scores Bought
By University Music Department
Susie Fennel Pipes Library Included in Collection
Of String Chamber Music Valued at $1000
The Susie Fennel Pipes musical
library, consisting of string quar
tets and other string chamber
music scores, has been purchased
by the University school of music,
Acting Dean John Stehn an
nounced yesterday.
The collection contains prac
tically all of the standard works
for string quartets and string
chamber music and a good mai^y
modern compositions, according to
Dr. Arnold Elston, assistant pro
fessor of music, who first exam
ined it. Although it was purchased
for $1000, the original and intrin
sic value was much more.
Foreign Plates
Many of the foreign plates were
destroyed during the war, and they
may never again be replaced. A
numbr of the Leipzig publishing
houses are represented in the libe,
and, as their plates were almost
totally destroyed, it is doubtful if
many of them will be reprinted.
Included in the list, which Mrs.
Pipes collected over many years
of active work in Portland as
director of the Noahkahnie string
quartet, is ensemble music, sona
tas for violin and piano, violin
solos, all of the standard works on
violin techniques and exercises,
and a large collection of scores of
chamber music. Mrs. Pipes played
first violin in the quartet which
she directed, and she was a life
long enthusiast for string chamber
music.
Chamber Collection
“The library is an excellent
one,” according to Dean Stehn. “H
fits in with the plans Dean Kratt
has for building up chamber music
in the school. And it is opportune
because we now have our own
string quartet which will appear
publicly several times during the
year. Some of the music will also
be used for student classes. The
scores will be extremely valuable
to student of the composition ami
analysis classes.”
The Carnegie room at the music
school has been selected as the
location for the quartet and en
