The building is to be erected on the corner of University and 18th streets, will cost approximately $224,000 when completed.

The rest, $140,000 is covered by a bond issue which was sold to the Lumberman’s Trust Company, Schneelock and Company and Ferris and Hardgrove companies of Portland. The Marine National Bank of Seattle was a very close bidder and the contract was awarded only after both companies had appeared before the executive council and board of regents. Six per cent bonds were purchased to be sold at $968 on the $1,000 bond.

He is a lean pla/er of the Okerberg typ->, with a good know ledge of tennis craft, and consider able stamina and skill. Melvin Ci bn, a daik-haired lad from Port land, has the knack of '‘h*tting ’em where they ain’t”, and w-.il prob only break into the first fTjrrome.

Leaders Aim To Make Event Annual Affair Practice to Commence at Assembly, to End April 8 rJ1HE first song week in the his tory of the University will he initiated today at the assembly' hour when practice will be held hr preparation for the inter-fraternal contests to be held in the near fu ture. The song leaders and repre sentatives of all living organiza tions on the campus who met last night to make final plans for the week expressed the hope that the event would become a tradition on the campus. The idea of having a Song Week resulted from action taken by the traditions committee and the ote dent council last term when radical changes in Oregon songs were made, the 'most important being the adop tion of the Oregon Pledge Song a» the official Alma Mater song. At the time these changes were made the committee realized the lack of interest in singing Univer sity songs, and the evident ignor ance of the words of some of the most beautiful ones. Event Outstanding Among most of the leading Pa cific coast colleges and universities and elsewhere, Song Week is one of the outstanding events of the sehoof year. The committee hopes to es tablish the tradition on the Oregon, campus by making this initial event a success. Starting today at assembly, prac tice week will continue until April 8. During this time all organiza tions will be practicing ’and learn ing the old and several new songs in preparation for the following week when the contest will take place, ending April 15. Songs to be Distributed At noon today copies of all Ore gon songs will be distributed at the houses and halls. The judging com mittees will be announced later, and. it is rumored that some of the cam pus celebrities are to be included, here will be four judging gronpe, wo men and one woman will ba on each of the committees to judgw ie singing at sororities and two women and one man on those judr lnS the men’s efforts. Prizes to be Glvea — After the four houses making th< best impressions are chosen a gram WI” b0 h6ld in witaf th! Prize group will be selected and an Propnately awarded. The natnr the prize remains a secret bn the committee believes that it i well worth working for AP«1 8, the entire a. sembly hour will be devoted to sing >ng which will be led by a hid Power director. Special musiea numbers of an interesting charaete are being planned for this event. Seniors to Give Stunt As a special feature members o the senior class promise to start! the campus with an original stun! Organists at the Bex and McDonal theaters will play medlies of Oregoj songs during the next two weeki The Oregon Aggravators will pn some of the songs to ragtime.
