The Week of Weeks
1 X A-JT JB-JI
Sunday. The first day of the most momentous week in the
itudent history of the University of Oregon. Easter Sunday.
In ecclesiastical circles, the first day of a transformed world.
The analogy is obvious, for, within the narrow confines of one
week, the Oregon undergraduates will effect a service to the
University which will result in manifold transformations of
•tudent life.
At the beginning of the fourth day of this week, and in the
three days following, will go forth the men and women who have
been chosen to carry through the initial step in the biggest
movement that has ever been planned for Oregon advancement.
They have gladly assumed their task, for although it is not a
pleasant duty to solicit pledges, that fact is subordinated in
their minds to the greater vision of doing an immeasurable ser
vice to their University. They have been engulfed by the spirit
of the thing—just as the student body will be engulfed when
President Campbell presents the idea at the Wednesday assem
bly.
Wherever the Student Union plan is thoroughly understood
it is embraced with avidity. The most important work of the
solicitors is that of explanation. Comprehension of the Student
Union vision is inevitably followed by staunch support.
This week marks the turning point in student life. For the
first time in the history of the University the students are to be
given the opportunity to present tangible evidence of their grati
tude for what is given them in their years on the campus. It is
more than that. It is the positive guarantee from the present und
ergraduates to the generations of students who are yet to come
that their collegiate life shall have the same richness of asso
ciations, the same opportunities of acquaintanceship, he same
degree of Oregon spirit.
Juniors and seniors observe that “the campus is changing.”
As numbers rapidly increase there is perforced sacrificed a bit
of the great unity, the geniality, the friendliness which has al
ways characterized the Oregon student body. It has already,
in the opinion of many, weakened the distinctive Oregon
“hello” spirit. The greatest service of all which will be effect
ed by a Student Union is the safeguarding of those traditions
which would otherwise fall before the onslaught of numbers.
Can the student body fail to assume the responsibility which
is theirs, that future students shall have the same opportunities
to benefit by their University associations? No, they have
accepted the privilege of building the Student Union. It shall
be done.
Miss Benson Tells
of Arizona Country
(Continued from page one)
"We traveled in the big field bus
sen that the areliaelogieal and geo
logical students take their field
trips in. When we were out on the
desert, we ran out of water, and
you can’t imagine the peculiar sen
sation we had when we found our
selves stranded out in that dry
place. We had to stop passing
motorists to get water for our
radiators.
‘fTliere were 17 deans of women
and 34 official delegates, with
about 00 girls in all,” stated Miss
llenson. ‘‘The conference is to be
at Oregon next year and the girls
all said they would be very glad
to come, and bring their goloshes
and umbrellas.”
Snow Slides, Gales
Give Thrill in Climb
(Continued from page one)
At 4:30 they were back wtih Robert
son and Gabriel, who were reody to
either start a search party or report
to the eoroner.
Martin and Green and Robertson
froze their feet, Ferry one hand and
went snow-blind, but the men de
clare that the worst thins of all was
the anti-climax of earning water a
mile and a half for their ear radia
tors when they got back. Green had
climbed Hood, as had Ferry and Mar
tin, Martin had climbed Hike's Peak
as well, and Sellers had sealed Mt.
Washington with the Mnzanias, but
all said it was child's play compared
to the middle of the Three Sisters in
the winter tie.
FABLES of the FUTURE
• By Bosalia Keber
% O r\
I_
(Late on a warm spring after
noon. The low, broad steps which
stretch for nearly a hundred feet
along the front of the Student
Union building at the University
of Oregon. It is the year 1935.
Groups of students pass by on their
way from the Library to the Uni
versity’s 18-hole golf course on
south Alder street. Many of them
turn off the broad walk and enter
the Student Union by one of the
four doors which open off the low
steps. At the farther end of the
steps is a group of four men. They
are holding animated conversation
regarding the possible outcome of
the vote taken from 2 to 4 that
afternoon among the fourth year
students to decide whether or not
the senior class should finance the
plan to have Phillips do mural
paintings in the north corridor of
the University Auditorium. The
group is waiting for the afternoon
edition of the Oregon Daily Emer
ald, which will contain the news
about the outcome of the election).
JIMMY: (One of those freshmen
who feels that, given a fair chance,
he will, without a doubt, be stu
dent body president before he gra
duates). I call it a darned shame
to think that they are asking the
fellows and girls to mortgage their
furniture for the sake of putting
some pictures up on the wall. Gee,
at the rate I am going now, I will
have enough debts piled up by the
time I am a senior to keep me
plugging for 20 years, and if any
body comes along and asks me to
pledge anything, no matter what
for, I’ll not hesitate to give them
my views on the subject.
BOLAND: (The man of ’37, who
wears a slightly bored expression
and who is more interested in the
antics of a bunch of girls at the
other end of the steps and in the
new stroke that one of them is
demonstrating with a hockey stick
than in the trend of the conversa
tion). Aw, what do you care? No
body ’s touching your checkbook.
JACK: (The senior. He is a tall,
rangy chap, who has been becoming
more and more amused at the in
censed ramblings of the yearling).
I say, youngster, you don’t know
your Oregon history if yt(u say
that we -will be starting a prece
dent by pledging ourselves to give
a certain amount to the University.
Don’t you know that by this time
the idea of each student owing a
debt to the University is firmly a
part of the Oregon Spirit? You
know you simply can’t stay down
here for four years and not feel
that you have gotten a lot more out
of it all than you put into it and
you are only glad enough to do a
little bit to build up the Univer
sity whose degree you carry. There
—that ought to hold you a while.
JIMMY: Yeh. Maybe. But what
did you mean when you said that
this wouldn’t start a precedent?
JACK: Ignoramus. What do you
think you are sitting on?
JIMMY: Hard stone steps, of
course. Don’t get funny.
JACK: Student Union steps. The
significance of my .question is that
I want you to get on what kind
of steps you are sitting. Do you
know that if it were not for the
precedent made back in the early
twenties, you wouldn’t have these
steps on which *to park yourself?
ROLAND: (With a knowing
look). And you wouldn’t have that
little corner near the fireplace in
the north loungo room that you
and that little fuzzy-haired Eta Phi
noia down.
JIMMY: And you, smarty,
woultln ’t have the bowling alley to
help you carry on that reckless
flirtation with the athletic Delta.
JACK: Drop it. As I was saying,
frosli, student support of the Uni
versity undertakings was parted
way back in the early twenties.
You don’t mean to tell me that no
one ever told you about the begin
nings of the Student Union build
ing! That no one has ever told
you about a student body president
in 1021 named Lyle something,
who first, with the aid of Graduate
Manager Benefiel, conceived the
idea of a place for permanent of
fices for the student body officials?
About the big campaign they put
over in 1924, when the small little
student body—there wore less than
2,500—got together and exerted
themselves to almost the breaking
point to raise enough in pledges to
make possible the erection of this
very same building?
JIMMY: (Abashed and slightly
awed). Aw, really. Did those stu
dents do that? Why, you know
there are a lot of business men in
our town that graduated along in
'24, ’25 and ’20. and they seemed
to be fairly prosperous all along,
faying their pledges did not seem
to affect them at all. Why, you
know, I never thought about those
men doing anything to help me
out.
JACK: I’ve heard my uncle talk
about that campaign. lie was in
the class of '24. He says that ab
solutely that campaign was the be
ginning of "Greater Oregon.” When
the old alumns saw what the stu
dents were doing they perked up
and got behind what they called
the Gift Campaign and put it ac
ross big.
FRANK: Glory—those must have
been exciting times to be in the
University. I’ll wager you could
feel it growing.
JACK: Uncle Bob says that ’23
and ’24 were critical years. The
University was growing and none
of the buildings were nearly large
enough nor completely equipped. It
was a crisis in more than insuffi
cient accommodations, he says. The
student body was growing very
rapidly and it had not developed
the proper mechanism to accompany
its new growth. And then there
was a kind of a new movement that
they called Oxforditis for lack of
a better name. A lot of the stu
dents were dissatisfied with the
high, schoolish training which was
all they were getting and they were
looking around to see what the
Universities in foreign countries
were doing for the young genera
tion. Everybody felt that a change
was coming but they didn’t know
what it would be.
EONALD: What do you mean?
JACK: Sounds funny, I know,
but in those days, Uncle Bob says,
there was an organized student
body, of course, but the only stu
dents that really took an interest
in A. S. U. O. affairs were those in
fraternities or halls. Nobody else
had a chance The half of the stu
dent body that lived in boarding
houses and out in town might just
as well have been in Jericho as far
as their part in student govern
ment was concerned.
EONALD: Why didn’t they or
ganize? There were nearly as
many students living out, you say,
and yet they took no part in stu
dent body government. Why not?
JACK: For a very good reason.
For several reasons. In the first
place, they had nothing to bring
them together. Some few of them
belonged to honor organizations,
but they were only a small circle.
The greater part never became ac
quainted with more than a handful
of fellow boarders. The biggest
difficulty was that there was no
place on the campus where the stu
dents really met on a common basis.
Of course, you won’t get this at
all. Why, do you know, in those
days, there was almost bitter in
terfraternity strife; there was
often a strained feeling between
fraternity and non-fraternity peo
ple
JIMMY: Gosh, how queer. But
then I suppose we would go back
to that same clannishness if some
monster should wipe the Student
Union building out of existence.
Come to think about it, it is right
here where I’ve met every fellow
that I care anything about. You
can’t get anywhere in classes in
the permanent friendship line. Say
-—it’s about time for the Emerald
to show up.
FEANK: Jack, all this lingo you
have been telling us about the
campus of ’24 has surely set me
thinking. You know, those Greek
letter people and all the rest of
them may have been cliquish, but
you know that many of them would
have given a lot to get acquainted
with some of the other fellows and
girls, and yet they probably
couldn’t because there v/arn’t any
place where they really could meet
on an equal basis.
JIMMY: (Scratching his head)
Gosh, try to picture this campus
without the Student Union build
ing. No lounge rooms, no smoking
rooms, no big cafeteria, where you
can get real food without busting
the family bank, no committee
rooms, no little theater, no read
ing rooms, no studont body offices,
no bowling alleys—no place for all
of us to get together—don’t think
I’d like it much.
JACK: Because some of the far
jiighted men around the campus in
the twenties recognized the nar
rowness of the college social life
of tho time and because they had
the initiative and the brains to
make the rest of the campus see it
too, we people are reaping the
benefits in the thirties.

JIMMY: Hooray—the Emerald’s

several copies and rushes over to
hand, them to Jack, Eonald and
Frank).
JACK: (After a hastv perusal of
the headlines). 'Well,* I see the
old class of ’35' is following the
precedent started some years ago
of really doing something perman
ent for their University. Hooray,
too—I am proud of them. And the
University and the state will be
prouder than ever of the beauties
and riches of their auditorium.
JIMMY: Yeh, I guess you meant
what you said all right, and now,
since I have heard what the old
timers did and since I have been
thinking of the sacrifices they
must have made to raise the large
amount which they pledged—well,
I feel a little different about all
of it. It seems that about all a
fellow can do is to carry on the
work that was started with such an
enthusiasm just 11 years ago.
JACK: That’s it, Jimmy—you
are getting the idea of doing your
part without shirking. I have hopes
for you yet.
