Pete Laurs The Union Idea Takes Root Two weeks ago Oregon students were somewhat surprised to learn they were actually to raise money for a Student Union as the initial episode of the University’s $5,000,000 Endowment Campaign. Announcements like literal bombs were hurled into the thick of the normal campus quietude and the ordinary student body complacency was shaken. Now that the haze from the opening barrage has somewhat thinned, and the atmosphere has cleared, as it were, the aver I age thinking mind is beginning to understand a little about the Student Union drive. The days from April 23 to 26 will mean to the student something more than a period which is to provide entertainment for him, and raise him some money for lounging purposes. The Student Union idea by this time should have penetrated. What is more, the student body seems to have fostered the no tion of a campus headquarters for all student activities to the extent that there is needed only the “kick-off” signal to pre cipitate a torrent of sincerely generous donations toward the building planned. The stage is set. The organization which will perform the mechanics of covering the campus and gathering everyone into the great fold, uniting all in a single effort, is nearly completed. Plans for the location and the financing of the long-dreamed-of building should be ready to announce early next week. To those undertaking the unselfish task of promoting this Student Union drive the most gratifying sign is to see the en tire student body taking the matter seriously. The spirit of the campiagn for the Union is not to be one of buoyant pastim ing at afternoon tea. It is to be something more than gay philandering on the library steps, taking inventory of the new spring colors. The Student Union drive is to be four days of au thorized patented zeal for a definite objective which we all know is worth while. Some ol us may never have 1 he practical benefit of the sanc tum which will be ours. But the manifestation of our grati tude to an institution which has contributed much t0 our social ami intellectual weal is the form which our financial bequests for the Student Union will take. I*> H 'ate ot UjI to 336 O. A. C. students have decided in favor of tuxedcs. The Agricultural College probably feels much better now for they have had committees “investigating” for months and the O. A. C. Barometer has concerned itself with this weighty matter very, very seriously. President Kerr has to approve, however, before the Aggie boys can bedeck themselves in semi-formal attire. It would he a mean trick if the Corvallis prexy refused to do the right thing after all the furor. Now that O. A. C. has taken this momentous step, perhaps some other “Ag” institutions, now bereft of the sacred right to wear a tux, will “follow suit.” Just a Reminder That the Famous Cantilever Shoes will be shown at the Osburn Hotel on Friday and Saturday, April 1 1th and 1 2th COME, ANl) BE PITTED* CANTILEVER SHOE COMPANY Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this cohunn for two Issues only.

Proceeds from the sale of the land will be used in maintaining the Pauline Potter Homer collection of books now in the library. Concerning track possibilities for I the season, Bill Hayward says, “The prospects were bright until i scholastic deficiencies took several I dependable men away from me.” Certificate of award for Emerald ] work will be distributed next week.

Tbi Fist Building, Niui Yft City CARRf.RK A HASTINGS Architects “Designing in Masses ” THE new architecture transcends detail and expresses the component solids of the great buildings of today and tomorrow. Gigantic profiles are reared against the sky — true expression of structural fans has now come into its own in architectural design, linking architect and engineer ever more closely together. Certainly modern invention — modern engineering skill and organization, will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future. OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY Offices in all Principal Cilies of the World NEW LIBRARY STACKS NEARLY COMPLETED More Space Left in Reading Room by Arrangement Work on the two new tiers of stacks in the library is progressing rapidly. The entire framework and electric wiring has been completed and, as the aroma near the circula tion- desk may suggest, the painting is well under way, the first coat hav ing been finished and the second now being applied. After the painting is finished the shelves will be put in the frames and the shifting of books will begin. It is planned that the installing of the stacks will be completed in about two weeks. The new arrangement of books is to be made gradually and some of the work will not be competed until summer, especially the periodicals. The plan in the new order of things is to have nearest the Circulation desk the books and periodicals that are most in demand and to have on the top and bottom floors the things that do not circulate so much. Political science, economics, educa tion, fine arts, general literature, American and English literature works will be placed on the floor of the circulation desk. On the floor above will be the books on philoso phy, religions, sciences and useful arts. And on the floor below will je language books, foreign literature, lescriptive books, biography, travel, listory and some of the special col ections, while in the basement news papers will occupy most of the room. VU this arrangement will provide nore space in the reading room, where nore tables will be placed as the periodicals are arranged in new itacks.
