The Women’s building must lie com pleted. At least $30,000 is needed lo finish it. The student council and the Greater Oregon committee have pledged the support or all Oregon stu dents in the concerted effort to raise this money during the Christmas holi days. Each student is being asked to raise only a small sum, $30 as a mini mum. Surely each one has relatives or friends who can be asked to give this amount and more toward the erection of a building which is so ne cessary to help tho University in this day of overcrowded classrooms and inadequate housing conditions in every respect. It is the enthusiasm of each student in tht' University which will carry the building through to rapid comple tion. When the students got the vis ion of what this campaign will mean in the future, its success will be as sured. It is not alone the money the students will bring back after the va cation which is important, but the interest created in the University am ong tin* men ami women of the state, which will bo of vital aid to tho Uni versity later. The fact that the stu dents are so Interested in their Uni versity's need amt so loyal is sure to make friends for them and for the University throughout the state. Wo want the citizens of Oregon to know that we are as loyal in helping our University get more buildings as in cheering her football teams to vic tory. The objection is often made that the legislature should have given $200,000 instead of half that amount for the Women’s building, but it was impossible for them to give more than $100,000 and keep the state taxes un der the 0 per cent limitation law. They gave their peak load, and rather than build a $100,00 building which under tlie present coot of building materials would be totally inadequate for the needs of the women, the University pledged itself to raise $100,000. The state has never been thorough ly canvassed for funds for this build ing. It is the hope of the students this time to reach those who have not given previously for the building. Through personal solicitation among those whom they kuow well, this can be accomplished. Interest Is being aroused among tin1 men as well as the women, for the men are beginning to see that this will be a building for them also. About all that will be strictly for the women will be the gymnasium and the swim lning pool. The gymnasium will also provide adequate space for damn and the alumni and committee rooms will be of use for men as well as women. The building will also provide several necessary classrooms. With the co-operation of every student in the University, the $30,000 can be raised easily and the good which will result for the University will be far-reaching. We must all do our part, and when the money is raised we will have not only the joy of achievement, but the realization that we have accomplished one thing more for our Alma Mater. _ CAMPUS CALENDAR . 11 -& Monday. 4:00 p. m.—Lower Columbia dis trict Greater Oregon committee meeting at Pi Beta Phi house. 4:00 p. m.—Eastern Oregon dis I trict Greater Oregon committee meeting in Dean Straub’s room, Tuesday. 7:15 p. m.—Student council meet ing in Dr. Gilbert’s room. 7:15 p. m.—Coast district Greater I Oregon committee meeting at Pi Beta Phi house. 8:00 p- m.—Doughnut debate ser ies starts.

CUT SYSTEM BRINGS DIFFERENCES IN OPINION (Continued from page 1) uniform system, the necessity for keeping track of their own absences would be helpful in keeping down ab sences, and the necessity of present ing a valid excuse would eliminate many undeserving petitions. Students’ Objection Voiced Two major objectios to the present system are voiced by students. First, there is the cumulative system, car rying cuts from term to term. The students feel that this point should be changed so that each term the stu dent could start work with a clean slate. The second point which the stu dents object to is the closed system, through which no student may see his cuts. It has been the experience of students that often through careless ness on their part and on the part of members of the faculty that they have received cuts which could have been excused had they know of them in time. The students also feel that no mat ter what system is adopted it should be made possible at the beginning of each term for students to receive a copy of the standing rules regarding cuts so that no mistakes could be made through ignorance on their part. Following the discussion by the joint committees the student com mittee asked to take the report to student council where it will be dis missed at the next meeting, and some delinite plan submitted to the faculty committee. A Gateway—Electrical ONLY a forty-foot gateway bounded by two brick pilasters and ornamental lamps, but unlike any other gateway in the entire world. For back of it is the General Electric Com pany’s main office building, accommodating 2300 employees. And just next door is its laboratory with the best equipment for test ing, standardizing and research at the com mand of capable engineers. Then down the >. street—a mile long—are other buildings where everything electrical, from the small est lamp socket to the huge turbines for electrically propelled battleships, is made c by the 20,003 electrical workers who daily stream through. What a story this gate would tell, if it could, of the leaders of the electrical industry and business, of ambassadors from other insti- 6 tutions and from foreign lands. The story would be the history of electric lighting, electric transportation, electric in dustrials and electricity in the home. This gateway, as well as the research, en gineering, manufacturing and commercial resources back of it, is open to all who are working for the betterment of the electrical industry. Illustrated bulletin, Y-S63. describing the company’s several plants, will be mailed upon request.
