Other Institutions Taking Up
Work; Six Schools On
Coast Interested
ARTICLE NO. 2.
By Leith Abbott
In launching a project for a student
union building the University of Ore
gon student body is not entering a
new or experimental ^iald^
Such buildings have filled an impor
tant need on the campuses of largo
eastern universities for many years and
each year finds other colleges taking
steps toward the erection of a union
building.
Pacific coast institutions of learning
are particularly progressive in this re
gard. Stanford has had a large and
well equipped union building for sev
eral years. California students have
just moved into the new $400,00 struc
ture completed on the campus at Berke
ley. The student body of Oregon Ag
riculture College has had the union
movement under way for the past two
years, each student paying $3 per term
upon registration to go toward a fund
for this purpose. It is expected that
the O. A. C. union building will become
a reality within a few years. Univer
sity of Washington students have
drafted plans for a building which
will be started when the debt on the
recently completed stadium is paid and
a new basketball pavillion built. Wash
ington students expect to have a stu
dent union building before many years.
W. S. C. and Idaho students are discus
sing the project on their respective
campuses.
An association of college and univer
sity unions was organized in Cleveland
in 1914 for the purpose of providing a
medium through which delegates from
institutions supporting student union
buildings could cooperate in advanc
ing their common interests and to en
courage and assist in the organization
of unions in colleges and universities.
Sixteen institutions are members qf
this association and hold yearly conven
tions. Members are: Columbia Univer
sity, Case School of Applied Science,
Cleveland, O., University of Chicago,
Cornell University, Harvard Univer
sity, University of Indiana, University
of California, University of Illinois,
University of Michigan, Michigan Agri
cultural College, University of Minne
sota, Ohio State University, Purdue
University, University of Toronto, Uni
versity of Vermont, University of
Wisconsin.
At the University of Wisconsin the
student union building now on the
campus has proved to be entirely in
adequate and a campaign is underway
for funds with which to build a new
Memorial Union building. Over $800,
000 has been raised and the campaign
is still being waged.
Indiana University is al30 conducting
a drive to raise a memorial fund of
$1,600,000 of which about one million
has been raised. Of this amount one
half will be used to erect a new union
building, one-fourth for a stadium, and
one-fourth for a women’s dormitory.
All of the buildings are beautiful
structures and variously equipped and
managed for the benefit of the stu
dents of the institutions. Each year
sees their support more readily furnish
ed and their worth more widely recog
nized, according to the enthusiastic re
ports of managers and secretaries who
gather for the annual meetings of the
association of college and university
unions.

into the hands of elected representa
tives.
It is to the executive council that all
matters relating to financing, to rais
ing and spending money, to athletics,
to all student body activities, the hir
ing of coaches and managers, and many
other matters of supreme importance to
the future of the University are en
trusted.
Membership in the executive council
is not merely an honor—members of
past councils will testify that it is far j
from that—and will tell of late night ^
sessons which have been held in order
that important matters might be given
proper consideration, and of the times
when important issues have been de-1
cided by the majority of one vote.
Intelligent Selection Wanted
It must be remembered that every
member of the council has a vote—
and whether or not he is capable of
easting that vote intelligently will de
pend upon the intelligence of the stu
dent body in electing him.
Student members of the council are1
president, vice-president, and seere*
tary of the Associated Students, two
men and one woman elected at large.
The entire council consists of faculty,
alumni and student representatives.
FACULTY FROWNED ON
ATHLETICS IN EARLY DAYS
(Continued from page one)
with a stout rope. However, when the
students arrived they found that by
pushing on the doors, they were able
to slip a knife between them. They
did so and cut the ropes.
This outrage against faculty author- j
ity caused a great deal of commotion,
but since permission had been given*
the students to use the room by the
[ board of regents, the faculty finally
| gave reluctant consent.
In 1888, the men petitioned the board
: f°r gym building, and the men’s gym
j which later became the art building,
I destroyed in last summer’s fire, was
I given the University. In this building,
i without instruction, and with but little
j apparatus, the men founded the begin
nings of athletics at Oregon.
A form of amusement and sport
which was at once enjoyable and which
won the approval of the faculty, was
duck hunting, according to Mr. Veazie
and Judge Beekman.
Dr. Johnson was very fond of duck
hunting, and the students often accom
panied him on his trips.
Biding was also very popular and Mr.
Veazie kept his own horse when on the
campus. He tells of a time when he
came to Professor Straub’s Greek class
unprepared. The professor called upon
him, and when he found Mr. Veazie
unable to recite, he demanded an ex
planation. Receiving the excuse 'Of
very urgent work, the professor re
proved the culprit for letting anything
interrupt his studies. Wishing a more
complete explanation, he demanded to
know what this all-important business
might be. Mr. Veazie replied that his
pony had had colic, and that he had
spent the time he should have used for
his Greek lesson in doctoring the sick
horse. Being a good sport, the profes
sor forgave the young man.
STUDENTS HAVE CHANCE
TO SELL TEXT-BOOKS
Co-op Sales of Last Term Amount to
$7,500; Candy and Cigarettes
Bring in $2,200
Monday, April 23, will be an impor
tant day at the Co-op, when R. B. Camp
bell, representative of the College book
store of Lincoln, Nebraska, will be on
the campus to purchase second hand
text-books. The College book store
provides all books for the University
of Nebraska, near which it is situated.
It is also a nation-wide wholesale store
for second hand books. Cash will be
paid for all books purchased here next
Monday and all students having text
books for sale, are requested to bring
them to the Co-op. Mr. Campbell will
be there from nine o’clock in the morn
ing until closing time.
Figures given by M. F. McClain of
the Co-op, show that the sales last
term amounted to $15,000. Half of this
or about $7,500 was received through
the sale of text-books, while $2,200
worth of candy and cigarettes were
sold. The fall term always brings in
the largest sales, according to Mr. Mc
Clain, because of the number of full
year courses that begin then. The sales
in the fall term are about three times
as large as in winter and spring terms.
A large increase in the sale of tennis
goods is expected as soon as the new
courts are completed.
The board of control of the Co-op,
which held its quarterly meeting Thurs
day night, is composed of two faculty
members and five students. Dean J F
Bovard and Dr. J. H. Gilbert are the
faculty members and Jack Myers, pres
ident; Ben Maxwell, vice president;
Paul Staley, secretary; Paul Sayre and
Orlando Hollis make up the student
membership of the board.

VILLI) BASEMENT IS
CAMPUS STOREHOUSE
Story of University Unfolded
In Relics of Past Days
The storehouse of the University,
the odds and ends for years, is the
basement of Villard hall. Until re
cently it has been almost the only place
to put things away on the campus.
The bulk of the stuff is uninterest
ing chairs and laboratory tables; but
in the corners and scattered about the
dark cellar are neglected objects that
tell the story of the University. Bar
rels and boxes of trash are lying around
everywhere. One box was apparently
put in the storeroom in 1898, for tat
tered books and pamphlets all bear
dates before that time. Every few
years, the departments have cleaned out
according to what can be gleaned from
the dates of periodicals, and sent their
useless junk to the basement of Vil
lard.
In open boxes, and stacked around
on the ground, is part of the Condon
collection. Most of the display mater
ial is in the Administration building,
but the duplicates, and that material
which Dr. Condon worked with, the geo
ology department has been compelled,
because of lack of space, to store away
here.
About 75 mattresses are stacked in
one end. They are relics of war days
when soldiers were being trained at
the University. Another relic is a
Victorian folding bed, which, when
the combination is worked, looks like
a cupboard. Just how it found its place
among the old University furniture is
not clear, but maybe it’s waiting for
the prospective museum building.
A coffin, with the word “referen
dum” printed in large letters along both
sides may bting back recollections to
those who were here during the fight
over the Millage bill. Packed away
under a .table are records and paid
checks of the Associated Students, dat
ing back to 1912. A couple of hula
hula skirts are among the more recent
arrivals of the cast-asides.
What remains of a small hot-air fur
nace sits back in a dark corner. Ac
cording to the janitor, it used to heat
Villard hall.
AGGIE RELAY TEAM IS FAST
Squad Works Out on Hayward Cinder
Path; May Go to Drake Carnival
O. A. C’s two-mile relay team com
posed of Hollinger, Stone, Dodge, and
Simms 'was on the campus yesterday
afternoon trying their paces on the
Oregon cinder path. They hung up a
time of 8:10 for the two miles which,
considering the inclemency of the
weather, was exceptional.
The track at Corvallis is a dirt one
and is not exceptionally fast and the
Aggie distance men wanted to tryout
for the Washington relays with the
conditions as near as possible like the
cinder path at Washington. If the
team makes good at the Washington'
relay carnival it is rumored that they
will represent the Aggies at the Drake
Belays.

I is particularly fortunate in having ac

acters they interpret. And those por
traying military officers have had ac
! tual army experience. Not that this
drama is a war play by any means,
| simply its scenes take place in a mili
tary atmosphere. For instance, Fred
erick Worlock, the leading man, was a
major in the British army. C. T. Davis,
who plays the husband, is a retired
Lieut.-Colonel of the British Indian
service, and he has been stationed in
the various Far East points, where this
play is supposed to take place.

one would recognize him either as the

the hunchback victim of one of the

transplanting live monkey glands into

A fine example of what a romantic,
motion picture should be is coming to
the Rex Theatre on Monday for two
days. This is the Goldwvn photoplay,
•‘Lost and Found.” written by Carey
Wilson and directed by R. A. Walsh.
I It is a story of tropical passions, as
I sudden and violent, in their fury as
tropical storms. The action takes place
partly on the Island of Tahiti and part
' ly on board the ship of Captain Black
j bird, a planter whose bitterness upon
I being deserted by his wife for another
j leads him into the South Sea slave
trade, sworn to revenue upon every
