Wegent Urges Writing Friends
ji State Legislature for
. Support.
Sirs. George T. Gerlinger, University
tepent, who will present to the stute leg
islature the bill asking for an appropria
tion, believes that students can aid g: lt
]y in the enuso by writing to friends in
the legislature and soliciting their sup
port.
“The state has very little money for
Appropriations this year and unless every
possible effort is made the bill will not
go through,” she deelared. ‘If the bill
carries and other plans for raising money
on n smaller seale are successfully car
ried out. the much-needed woman’s build
ing will he under way on the campus
within a year.”
A campaign to raise $25,000 toward the
fund will he undertaken by the women
of Eugene in the near future and Mrs.
Gerlinger feels confident that the maxi
mum will he attained.
“It has been hard to solicit money for
the building during the war, as people
gave the most they could to the various
campaigns waged for the Her! Cross and
kindred organizations,” she said, “but
now that this strain is over T feel sure
that there will lie no trouble in raising
the necessary amount for the structure.”
$20,000 Raised in University.
University students have already pledg
ed $20,000 to the fund. If the bill pusses
the legislature and the local women raise
their stipulated amount in the coming
campio $55,000 of the $200,000 which
will he the cost of the building, remains
nnraised. This amount, Mrs. Gerlinger
thinks, can he collected through the
state by personal donations. The money
already given to the fund has been invest
ed in Liberty bonds.
The project of a woman’s building was
Started in 1015. At this time the Women’s
league came into being nw a campus or
ganization and took upon itsell the task
of making possible the erection of a
building for the- women. All money raised
in the interests of the building has been
done through this organization. Tt Is
Mr a. Gerlingcr’s plan to bring influential
men and women to the University to
show them the needs of the institution.
In this way she hopes to have the wo
man's building made a reality soon.
Friendship Is Indispensible.
“It is through donations to this build
ing.” said Mrs. Gerlinger, “that the Uni
versity will acquire many staunch friends
and supporters, for the donators will
realize that they have a personal invest
ment on the campus and very naturally
they will become more interested in the
University's affairs.” This is the greatest
need of the University, she believes, for
while tin- building itself is much in de
mand the support and friendship of Ore
gonians is indispensible to the further
ance of the institution.
Plans for the building are not complete
although the main idea has been worked
out. by Dean K. F. Lawrence of the
school of architecture, and Mrs. Gcr
lingor, who say that while the building
is to be a gymnasium for the women it
will also be a social center for every one,
alumni, faculty and students. The depart
ment of household arts will be in this
building.
Pool and Infirmary Planned.
“There will lie a complete swimming
pool,” said Airs. Gerlinger, “and very
probably a woman’s infirmary set off in
n separate winp. There will also be a
room for the alumni and a suite for the
faculty. The gymnasium will have n stage
and thus it can be used for stunts and
theatricals.”
The naming of the building is depend
ent upon the board of regents but Mrs.
Gerlinger thinks that it will be called
(lie Women’s Memorial ball. The site
which was picked by the regents is direct
ly behind the Johnson hall and is the
highest point on the campus. Tt will lie
arranged to form a triangle with Hen
dricks hall and Johnson linll.
NEW SECTION IN LIBRARY
A now section has been formed in the
library which is to contain nil books of
unusual interest or importance. All hooks
of Theodore Roosevelt will be found in
(his section, which is situated just back
of the circulation desk. This section has
been designed especially for those looking
for something of interest to Tend.

HR HI PUCE
OF Y MUM
Mrs. George T. Gerlinger Tells
of Position of Organization
in University.
The meaning and place of the Y. W.
C. A. in the life of a University were told
Wednesday by Mrs. George Gerlinger,
' regent of the University, in a talk before
the association. This organization has a
peculiar place on the campus, she de
clares, because it is the one society open
to all women of the institution and rep
resents spiritual ideals.
Mrs. Gerlinger feels that she has been
brought up in the Y. W. C. A. because
her mother was one of the pioneers in
its organization. Mrs. Gerlinger was ac
tive in the Y. W. f. A. at the Univer
sity of California where she was a stu
dent, and she told stories of its growth
since her graduation from the school.
Y. W. C. A. has gained the recognition
of the nation, Mrs. Gerlinger declares,
because out of 100 women's organize-!
tions that came before the government
seeking to do war service the Y. W. C.
A. was chosen. She believes the choice !
was made because of the good record it
has made in the 50 years of its existence.
Mrs. Esther Allen Jobes, of Portland,
was a special guest of the association at
the meeting. She made a short talk to the
young women and promised to return
some time in the future to be present
at another meeting. After the meeting
a social hour was held and tea was serv
ed by Elvira Thurlow, and the social
committee.
