HOW A YOUNG MAN
HAPPENED TO PLEDGE
ALL OF $100.
She: Won’t you fledge $100 for
the Student Union!
He: Who—me?
Yes—you. You can' sign the card
now and have ten years to pay.
Pay for what?
Why, the Student Union—you
know what that is—
Sure. That’s what Randall
Jones is president of.
No! Don’t be simple. Tfie Stu
dent Union is a building where col
lege students center their activit
ies. It is a social center for the
whole University.
Oh! Just like the Campa Shoppe.
Good idea—
Oh, goodness no! The Student
Union is a great big affair and—
Hm. I never saw it. What does
it look like!
Of course you haven’t. It isn’t
built yet. That’s what we are try
ing to raise money for.
Oh. I see. Yes, I see. You
■want money?
Yes. Exactly. I want you to
pledge $100, payable semi-annually
for ten years in five dollar install
ments.
$100—from me? $100 from me
alone? Let’s be intelligent about
this—let’s—you run along. I got
business to do.
No, you haven’t—
Haven’t got $100, either.
Almost every one else is giving
that much, and some are pledging
more. I
Well, great scott! 2,700 times
$100—that’s enough to buy the
University. How do you know the
state wants to sell the Alma
Mater?
Oh. come now—let’s he serious.
The first unit of the Student Un
ion is going to cost $200,000, and
that’s quite a hit of money.
Yes, indeed. Quite a tidy sum.
Quite tidy.
It means that every loyal Ore
gon student will have to dig in and
do his share.
Hm. Loyalty is an expensive
business, isn’t it?
Not so expensive when you stop
to think what the Student Union
would mean to the University—1
Going to he a mean building, is
it?
Yes it is. It will be a place for
wits like you to congregate and do
your broadcasting.
Good. I’m all for it. Let’s
make a bigger one—$200,000 isn’t
much—
All right, you come across with
the $100 and I’ll see what can be
done about enlarging the building.
■Sign right here.
Now?
Yes.
Hm. Let’s talk this over. I
don’t see yet just what good this
Student Union is going to do. What
is it going to be used for?
Have you ever been on the Uni
versity of California or the Stan
ford campus?
No.
Well, both those universities
have Student Unions, as do many
of the better universities in the
East, including Cornell, Michigan,
Purdue, Columbia, Harvard, Chica
go, Minnesota, Ohio, and many
ethers. In these schools the Stu
dent Union is the hub for all cam
pus activities.
Can you smoke in them?
Yes—
.We need one; better get a
couple—
One will be enough. Just think
what you could do if the Student
Union were built now. You could
go over and smoke, play billiards,
bowl, read or write letters. All the
offices of the student body and stu
dent body and student publications
would be there—
Would the manager of the Emer
ald have an office?
Yes—
Fine. What else will it have?
There will be meeting rooms,
lounging rooms, cafeteria possibly,
and a ball room for student body
dances. The entire building will be
constructed with the idea of ful
filling the needs of all extra-cur
ricular student activities.
Where will it be built?
Eight across from the Craftsman
club on Fourteenth between Kin
caid and Alder.
Well, it sounds good, but why
doesn’t the state provide the mon- j
ey instead of the students?
The University is in the midst i
of a $5,000,000 endowment cam- j
paign, and the Student Union is a!
part of the big campaign. The
money is needed for the most part)
for class buildings, gymnasiums j

FIRSTPLAYOFTERM
WILL OPEN TOMORROW
The first play of the term, “Miss
Lulu Bett,” makes its initial open
ing on the campus tomorrow night
at Guild theatre, for a three night
run. This play was awarded the
Pulitzer prize of 1921 for its truly
characteristic representation of mid
dle class American life in the home,
j With its varied sarcasm and its
mirth-provoking qualities, it has
made itself popular in the east for
the past few years. And now the
campus actors are prepared to pre
■ sent the play after a three weeks
intensive rehearsal.

is now on, and tickets may be ob
tained at the Guild Hall box office
for 75 cents and 50 cents.
FIRST INSTALMENTS DUE;
COLLECTION THIS WEEK
Every student who pledged his
quota of $100 last year—and the
many who went over this amount
—did so in good faith, and not a
one has so far made known any
regrets for the act.
Those who took advantage of the
$10 yearly payment plan, which
means that $5 is due every six
months are to be reminded by the
drive committee that the first
year’s installments are due. So
don’t be surprised, subscriber, if
you are tapped for a ten spot, or
a five, if you’ve made the initial
payment.
Eeceipts will be issued to all
who pay the installments to com
mittee members, and later a regu
lar university receipt will be
mailed out to all payees.
Actual work will start on the
Student Union just the day that
enough money is collected in to
make a beginning. So the war on
procrastination is to be waged vig
orously this week, and the back
payments as well as new pledges
are expected to come pouring in.
The committees, both collectors
and pledges, will all be under the
same head, and both phases of the
campaign will be carried on with
the same speed and thoroughness.

LAST YEAR’S ENTHUSIASM
REVIVED AS DRIVE NEARS
The interne enthusiasm generated
at the Student Union drive last
year, has been recalled to many who
were here.
Things started last year with a
bang at the Thursday assembly,
when the quota was announced as
$200,000. The freshmen were as
signed $00,000; sophomores, $50,
000; Juniors, $45,000; and Seniors,
$35,000.
Saturday night, at one of the
greatest rallies Oregon ever had
the grand total was announced as
$219,087! Enough to start the first
$200,000 unit, with a comfortable
nest egg for the next drive!
The freshmen turned in a total
of $64,025, over $4,000 more than
their quota; the sophomores scored
$53,000; the juniors, $52,280; and
the seniors, $41,070.
Haddon Itockhey directed the
historic drive, with Doug Farrel,
his assistant in charge of features.
Earl Shafer and Henryetta Lawr
ence were senior chairmen; Ed Sox
and Winifred Graham directed the
juniors; Jimmy Leake and Mary
Brant headed the sophomores, and
the zealous freshman class was cap
tained by Fred West and Esther
Setters.
Movies, a horse race with each
class represented, the giant ther
mometer, parades, and rallies,
marked the great event. It was a
fitting start for the University
$5,000,000 gift campaign, and its
success serves as the inspiration for
the drive this year.
