Daily News Editor This Issue Marian Lowry Night Editor This Issue Jaek Burleson Assistant Harry Dntton Pledges and Pin-Point Souls The Stude.t Union drive offers an excellent opportunity to study campus psychology. Strangely enough, one of the results of the observation shows that it is very often the type of student who needs such an institution as a Union the worst is the hardest to convince of the merits of the movement. One instance of the past week has stood out especially and has caused wide comment in many circles. One small person small mentally and spiritually as well as physically—has done considerable talking against the Student Union. His argu ments have all been answered by the solicitors, yet he feels that because he originally opposed the idea, without having looked ink) it, it would be weakness ever to admit that he was wrong, lie forgets that changing one’s mind in the light of new facts is not a sign of backsliding, but rather an evidence of broad mindedness. An investigation of this man’s case shows that he has had very few contacts with other students. As Irving E. Vining -would say, ho crawled into his shell and stayed there. Con sequently he lacks the ability to grasp the vision of the gift campaign movement. Ilad a Student Union been on the campus in his freshman year the contacts necessary for a broad sort of campus existence would have been provided. He could, of course, have had them anyway, had lie looked for them, but with a Student Union they would have been thrown in his way. To be on a campus where a Student Union building is, and not have contacts, is nearly impossible. The experience of other Universities proves that all campus life heads in around such a place and the most backward are soon drawn into the friend ly spirit of the institution. There will be no coercion used on this man, however; for to extort a donation from such an individual would spoil the spirit of the whole movement. The Union is to be built as an appreciation of what Oregon is doing or has done for its stu dents. If a man is not big enough to appreciate that obliga tion and to see the part which his gift plays in the whole gift campaign movement, it is far better that he keep his two and three-quarters cents a day for his narrow, warped self. That a University has such a man in its senior class is proof sufficient of something wrong here. The student body realizes this and believes that the remedy is a Student Union. Yet too much blame cannot be laid at such an individual’s door. The lack of a student gathering place has helped in warping him. Most of those who know him—those who have heard his hollow arguments against this, the greatest thing Oregon has ever done—are sincerely sorry for him. The Emer ald joins in this pity for the man with the pin-point soul; but it pities far more the few students who, though apparently more intelligent, have been converted to his bigoted point of view. Too Easily Refuted One interesting development of the Student Union drive is the laek of opposition on the part of Emerald correspondents. A movement that is as far reaching as this one might be ex pected to call forth a few letters, at least, against some point in the scheme. To date only one letter has come to the editor’s desk opposing the movement. That letter was a short, poorly composed epistle, not worthy of consideration. The Emerald is entirely sold on the Student Union drive. It does not have to print any letters that it does not feel in telligent or for the common good. After all, though a student body publication is owned by the A. S. U. 0. the policy is al ways in the hands of the editor. However, the editor, like the other backers of the Union drive, is ready to answer any or all arguments. The strength of the idea is such that penned arguments in opposition have not been forthcoming except in the one instance. Seeing red usually signifies anger. Parsimonious opponents of the Student Union, who hide, like wartime slackers, behind “conscientious objections,” ought to be pretty fthgry by this time. The red pledge ribbons are everywhere. h The Emerald Aisle SIB, MY BESOUBCES ABE TIED UP IN SUCH A WAY THAT I AM AFBAID I CAN NOT HELP YOU. What Is more sacred to a man than the life earnings which he has put into his future wife’s hopie chest? My boy must have his golf clubs, his wrist watch, roadster and what not. My daughter will neces sarily need her swagger cane, large wardrobe, and must give her week end parties. I have not enough to start a good respectable family on leis urely paths. And here you are, begging for $100.00. Now I ask you. Is that nice? “Kind sir,” and the solicitor had tears in his eyes as big as gourds, “I humbly beg of you your pardon. Your bland remonstrances have mocked my inability to judge financial standings. I bleed tears of shame. Please accept this $1,000.00 in addition to my daily prayers. God bless you.” STUDENT UNION THE DREAM— “HERE, BOY, TAKE THIS $5,000,000.00 FOR YOUR BUILDING.” IIE WHO GE’T“' SLAPPED IS FRESH—FROM .ROADWAY. There arc too many drives going on this week.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS VICTORS OVER JUNIORS The senior team at the Univer sity high school won from the jun ior team in a debate held yester day in the school assembly. The question for the debate was: “Re solved that senate bill No. 2309 of the 68th congress is a desirable piece of legislation.” rr"ae bill provides for American veterans of the World war, and is similar to the bill vetoed by President Harding in 1922. The senior team, composed of Herman Meierjurgen and John Bean, took the negative side of the question, and Hiram White and Gerald Roberts, who made up the junior team, defended it.

V \ >s* Why we guarantee our clothes to you as wearer Our guarantee to the wearer is the simplest way we know to emphasize the high quality of our clothes, and relieve the mind of a "Doubting Thomas.” The cost to us of guaranteeing our product is so trivial as to really be an insignificant item in our costs, even though abuse of this liberal policy is apparent from time to time. After years of record, the guarantee has proven to be a silent compliment to our standard of workmanship, selection of all wool fabrics, fit and genuine service given by the product made by us. We take full responsibility our clothes are made of materials to justify confidence and our tailors follow our exacting specifications in converting raw materials to a beautifully fin ished garment. Everyone recognizes that the product we make will wear out sometime, but when more value and satisfaction than dollars paid has been realized, the public is the fairest jury a manufacturer «» it seems from our years of record. We, therefore, confidently guarantee our product. *50 Feature Spring Suitings Edgefield Stripes Lisbon Checks Cardiff Plaids Ken rock Serges Mountain Rock Worsteds Chas.Kaufmas &Bros* CniCAOO NFW YORK BOSTON SAN FRANCISCO
