GILBERTWRONG
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Dec. 21. Registration figures
at the Oregon Agricultural college
always are available to those de
siring them, and the scholarship
standards for admission o the col
lege, being on a jar with leading in
stitutions ot the country, are hard
ly a proper subject for attack, said
E. B. Lemon, registrar of the col
lege, today, in answering allega
tions which are attributed to Dr.
James H. Gllbe;1.. head of the de
partment of economics at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
In addressing an alumi.l meet
ing at the university Homecoming
in Eugcn- November 11, Dr. Otl
bert Is reported. In a news story
appearing in ti.e Salen Capital
Journal ot December 14, to have
spoken disparlngly of the entrance
requirements at the college and the
students entering from other states.
- "The scholarship required for
matriculation in the college," said
Mr. Lemon, "Is the same as that
Imposed b the University of Ncb
braska, the University of Minnesota,
Purdue University, Iowa State col
lege, at Ames, the Unive.lty of
Kansas, Kansas Statu college and
various other institutions of higher
education. They are excellent com
pany for the colleg."
It Is further reported that Dr.
Gilbert, in his address, attributed to
President Kerr the statement that
students from outside the state "Im
posed no extra charge on the tax
payers since the fun increment of
cost due to their presence is met by
the non-resident tuition fee that
they pay."

Regarding this Mr. Lemon stat
ed:
"There is no truth whatever In
this statement, nor Is there any
foundation in truth for It; In fact,
the statement, on Its face. Is ab
surd. In the official biennial report
of the college for 1925-26, it is
shown that the cost per student at
the college for opeiatlon and main
tenance from 1922 to 1928 ranged
from $278 to $348, end that. Includ
ing expenditures for building con
struction and other capital Invest
ment, tiie total to. the years men
tioned ranged from $362 to $381.
The fallacy ot Dr. Gilbert's state
ment Is apparent, since the non

The Christmas Cheer movement

with contributions totalling $313.92
turned In between Monday and
Tuesday noons. The response of
workers In state departments and
the fine effort of the Klwanls club
brought in the larger part of this
sum.
"We can use every bit of this

ot various kinds of pumpers tor the

cepting a bid on the new 1000-gal-lon

meeting Is called especially for final
action on the 1928 budget, but any
other business may be taken up by
vote of the council at the meeting of

Alderman Dancy, chairman oi tne

motion that other business might be
taken up, having In mind the ac
ceptance of one of the bids received
Monday night. It nas developed,
however, that further time Is needed
for consideration. A report is to be
received from Seattle on the Mack
pumper, manufactured by the Mack
Truck corr -ny. The lowest bid
Monday night was on this machine,
but the purchase Is not to be made
alone on a basis oi tne size oi me

HOLLY TREE IS
FULL OF BERRIES
IN BANK LOBBY
One of the worth- wh' : sights this
year is - holly tree which has been
placed In the lobby of th Ladd Se
Bush bank. Literally covered with
red berries, It has a diameter of
nine feet. Is about 12 t high and
extreme'" symmetrical in shape.
Scores of people have viewed the
tree, commented on its beauty, and
speculated how it lives In a cement
tub, planted in gravel
Henry Crawford of the bank di
vulged the secret today when he
told the story ot the tree which
came from his yard at 1340 Court
street. The tree, after attaining a
good growth, was cut down by the
frost In 1919. In 1920 he but the
tree to the stump and since then
has been coddling It and caring for
it, pruning it and fertilizing it with
care, until it has attained its pres
ent bauty. The pruning, he stated,
is responsible for t.ie appearance oi
thi wilderness of berries. Tho tree
this yeai attained a size too large
for where It stands, and he cut It
off again to the stump and had It
placed in the tub.
"A new tree will grow out from
the stump, and for another seven
or eight years I will have the fun
of taking cair of it and developing
It to mr wishes." he said.
