BIT O' SCOTLAND
Freshman Plays 'Pipes
In Cemetery Practices
By Paul Keefe
Emarcld Managing Editor
'Ave ye ’erd 'e pipes aplayin’?
Many Oregon students are
hearing Scottish bagpipe music
for the first time as they walk
across campus during the after
noons or evenings. The music is
provided by Homey Armes, fresh
man in music education.
Armes got his 50-year-old
ivory and African Blackwood
’pipes last week and has been
practicing quite regularly out
nl the cemetery. He often has
quite a large audience.
Armes and Dick Harper, an
other freshman in music educa
tion, are both members of a
30-piece bagpipe band which
practices every Thursday at 8
p.m. in the Carlson, Hatton and
Hay Garage in downtown Eu
gene. Harper, however, does not
have his own set of bagpipes yet.
To be a member of the "band,’’
according to Armes, one must
spend from six months to a year
on a "practice chanter" before
playing the 'pipes. Armes said
that he has been practicing since
the middle of August.
Many residents of Susan Camp
bell hall and the Vets’*dormitory
were awakened Sunday morning
when.Armes, a Eugene resident,
began the first of his practice
sessions out by the tombstones.
“Some of the (music) profes
sors don't likt it,” Armes said
when asked how bagpipe playing
fitted into his music studies.
“They put iip with it, at least
for the time being.”
Harper and Armes, both of
Scottish descent, are members of
the Clans MacFarlane and Bu
chanan, respectively.

Army Produces
Warning Device
WASHINGTON 1AP1 — The
Army said Wednesday it has a
i device which can give instant
warning of a germ warfare at
tack.
Called an aerosoloscope, it can
count germs, dust and moisture f
particles in the air. It was de
veloped at the Army’s bioligical
warfare center at Camp Detrick,
Md.
The gadget can count micro
scopic particles- germs, dust,
radioactive particles—at the rate
of 10 per second.
Particles ranging in size from
one micron (forty millionths of \
an inch) to 64 microns can be
counted and measured "one thou- i
sand times faster than by the:
ordinary method of collecting j
them in a medium or an a suit- j
able surface and examining them ;
through a microscope.”
Concentrations of airborne par- |
tides up to 15,000 per milli- j
meter are drawn through the !
instrueent, each particle being j
individually illuminated.
symphonies, and abstract musical
pieces. His "Ballet Meeanique”
evoked a storm of controversy
when it was first performed at
Carnegie hall in 1927.
Antheil began his musical ca
reer as a concert pianist in 1922.
He later was assistant music di
rector of the Berlin State theater
and holds the honor of being the
first American-born musician to
hold this position. He returned to
the United States in 1933 to be

Goodies Grumble;
'Gotch Falls' Falls
SALEM —Marion county
has more Gooches than it has
Catches, so a resolution to name
a waterfall "Admiral Thomas L.
Gatch falls” lies dead in com
mittee.
Sen. Lee Ohmart, Salem, spon
sor of tire measure, is happy, too.
Killing it means that the Gooches
will get off Ohmart's neck.
Ohmart said that after he in
troduced the resolution, the
Gooches descended upon him in •
force, protesting that these falls
have been called "Gooch falls”
for almost a century.
The senator said he was even
afraid to go home at night. One
night, he said, he found a Gooch
on his doorstep waiting to pro
test.
The Senate Resolutions com
mittee tabled the measure Tues
day, deciding to let the US For
est Service name the falls.
Both the Gooches and the
Catches are pioneer Marion coun
ty families.
The waterfall is near Marion
lake, in the Cascades.
The late Admiral Gatch, a na
tive of Salem, commanded the
USS South Dakota in World War
II, and then was judge advocate
of the Navy. After the war, he
practiced law in Portland.
US Aesthetics Dates
Century, Pepper Says
Wherever man is there is cul
ture, said Stephen C. Pepper,
chairman of the department of
philosophy at the University of
California, in the browsing room
lecture Wednesday night.
The topic of the lecture was
"The American Heritage in Aes
thetics."
Pepper said in his speech to a
capacity crowd that “the culture
of the Indians jjidn't effect the
culture of the colonial man. The
Indians figured as little more
than an obstacle to the Amer
icans.’’
"Only about 100 years ago did
Americans decide to enjoy living
for living’s sake alone, and not
for personal gain," Pepper stated.
“Thoreau was the first self-con
scious American in regard to
aesthetics. He had perceptiveness
and appreciation of the natural
landscapes and the busy indus
trial cities.”
Thoreau revolted against the
convential articles of beauty,
Pepper added. He perceived beau
ty from what was at hand.
Pepper has been with the Uni
versity of California since 1919,
and is the author of six books.
His latest published book, en
titled "A Digest of Purposive
Values,” was written in 1947. He
has recently written a book en
titled "On the Work of Art,”
which will be published soon.
Discussion leader for the lec
ture was Bertram Jessup, pro
fessor of philosophy.
This lecture was the last in
the series of lectures given in
conjunction with the Festival of
Arts, and also was the last
browsing room lecture of the
term.
