Almost exactly a year ago the Oregon student body was waxing hysterical over the proposition of a student union. The Emerald screeched with red head lines; captains exhorted their teams; those who hesitated or refused to sign the dotted line were socially ostracised. In the end the $5.00 fee was passed, and the student union saved. Also the basketball cen ter and the bleachers were provided for in the measure, the $5.00 fees to he applied to the last namled structures first, con struction on the student union to start when the pavilion and bleachers were paid for. That was the situation a year ago. But consider the 'outlook at the present time. We have the bleachers. In nine months wre will have the pavilion. In three to five years these will he paid for and then we will start construction on the student union, according to the measure passed last spring. But considering all things, do we need the student union as much as a library? We do not. In fact, taking into account all factors entering into the welfare of the university, it would appear sensible and reasonable that the students, a£ soon as possible, should divert their funds to the construction of a new university library. Do we need a library? We do. We need it more than a men’s gymnasium, more than a fine arts building, more than an auditorium, mtare than class rooms. The library, the soul of the University, is most inadequate, most incompetent, and most unsatisfactory. And do we need a student union? Yes, to a certain extent, but the need is not vital. A year ago, with other structures apparently provided for by the gift campaign, it appear rea sonable that the students should build their student union. Cer tainly the men who achieved the vision of student assistance to the University are to be lauded most highly for their vision; and it will be due to the efforts of these former students that the new structures—pavilions, libraries, or otherwise, will be made possible. But coming back to the necessity of the student union, at this time we cannot so that its need is imperative. We have the Woman’s building for social affairs; the city of Eugene is to erect a splendid municipal University audi torium that will provide an excellent formal gathering place; we will have the basketball pavilion for rallies and dances; we have our co-op; and even our nicotine bushes and library steps that would seem to provide ample student gathering places. In considering the need for a student union we sbotuld notice carefully the relation of dormitories to a structure of this sort. A student union, calculated to be a social melting pot for the students, would not be appreciated to any great extend by fraternity people, nor by students living in attrac tive dormitories. No student cares to lounge around with a polyglot crowd; he would rather seek his friends, most of whom will be found in his dormitory or fraternity. At Oregon dormi tories are conspicious by their absence save for one small men’s dormitory, and two womens’ dormitories that hold but a frac tion of the total number of students. At the University at the present time almost half the student population is housed in private homes, and it is reasonable that these students should appreciate the student union. Obviously, however, when dorm itories are provided, which we hope will soon to be the case, the need for the student union will automatically tend to evap orate. Briefly stated, ample dormitories will fairly well take the place of a student union; and a student union will not take the place of dormitories. Incidentally, Friendly hall, which should sqoin be abandoned as a dormitory because of its un suitable location, would serve very well as a center for stu dent-body activities, the (only pressing need for the student union at the present time. We need the library—and we don’t need the student union. Therefore, when our present obligations are reasonably well cared for, let us divert our student resources to the construc tion of the most essential portion of a university—the Library. The University welcomes to the campus this week-end the members of the senior class of llill Military Academy of Port land. These young men. whose military bearing has attracted admiring campus eyes, will find in their visit an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the various aspects and manifesta tions of higher education; and will return to their Academy with the knowledge of the ways in which the University may be of future service to them. We hope their visit will be of genuine value. All House Emerald Representatives turn in receipt books to James Man ling by noop today at Em erald business office.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF WON DUM BUM (Literal Translation) To be there is a very onorary new ladies society that has been oregon ized near the Yung Wimmens Chris tian Club about four days before tomorrow. There is to be a defi nite purpose posively minus in this ladies fraternity, and all honorable gentlemene and others seem to gape wide-eyed and pie-eyed to who and what the noble idea shall have been. This appears to the venerable and aged in the wood Wun Dum Bum that the minus idea is very too powerfully weak for absolute value. Be not it an idea of excellency if all these beautifully pretty more sweet than sour, lenterprisers of recognized worth, should assemble some suitable and fitting standards for entrance to get into entering this association society? It, meaning the “Oregon Daily Emery,” stated and said that all those truly interested with unequal led enthusiasm in a brand new un used and original ornery club, should congregate in a mass at the shanty belonging to the U. V. Y. W, It all seems funly queer and dif ferent to Wun Dum Bum the Phil osopher man. MATRIMONIAL RADIO 1 husband plus two wives equals work. 1 husband plus two wives equals workhouse. * # # n While the old saw, “A Uni form makes a Man” isn’t true in every case, judging by the extent of feminine glances di rected at the squad of choco late soldiers arrived on the campus from Hill Military Academy, puttees and medals surely give him a good start. # * * Miss Elsie Goddard will intro duce a new Oregon song entitled “And tho Green-horns all hung around.” The Seers Date Bureau has been too busy to give itself any publi city lately but with the Painters and Paper-hangers big splurge well on its way, we can mind our own business for awhile. Believe it or not the S. D. B. started the Hobson episode, the Mautz tragedy, the Oberteuffer war, and the battle of Tippecanoe. Act immediately if not soonerl Not an ocean of love—just a drop in the bucket. SEVEN SEERS ^““Chameleon JT\ 6 gz&m While college professors and phil osophers are floundering around to determine the menace of the pres ent generation, today’s strictly fresh threat came to us in a burst of light last night. The curse of the age is the Charles ton marathon contest. You know what the Charleston is. It is the only dance that makes a bow-legged girl look at home. Yep, the Charleston is a dance. The Chamber of Commerce of Charleston, S. C., claims it was named after Charleston, W. Va. • * • To do this beautiful dance cor rectly you use your head, shoulders, hips, knees and feet. Positively no waste material. But there is an enormous demand for spare parts. * * * Up to last week the length of a Charleston was about the same as a hard-boiled egg. Five minutes was plenty to leave the dancers ex hausted or the spectators disgusted or both. Then someone thought of omitting the intermission and the Charleston marathon was on. That’s when the ambulance gongs start clanging. • • V Tough shabies and slim sheiks ex hibited shuddering torsos for hours at a time. They wore out jazz bands, pianolas and phonograph rec ords and still they refused to quit. They wiggled elbows and wiggled knee pans for more than six hours. Then someone moved that the Charleston be named after Cripple Creek and they unanimously passed out. The Charleston is the most ener getic. thing sinee Coolidge’s electric horse. The shimmy was danced with the shoulders. The Gild Gray brought on hips. The Charleston combines the features of both with the daily dozen and delirium tre mens thrown in. The dance of the Seven Veils was nothing compared with this. When a cutie does the Charleston it takes 12 towels to bring her to. The dance is very trying on the nervous system. It is like taking a rough detour without any automobile. The art of terpischore has certain ly tripped along in these last 50 years. We think it was Barnum who said a sucker was born every minute. Now, 10,000,000 suckers are born for every freak dance. • • * The Charleston is not only tough on the legs. It is tough on the und erpinnings of the dance hall. In San Francisco it knocked a night club for a row of ambulances. Since then it has grown worse. What started out to be a sensible disturbance has turned out to be a darned nuisance. P. S. It might be well to explain that neither w(< nor the Seven Seers know the darn dance and that ex plains our attitude a bit.

Carol the Co-Ed DEAREST ANN: School certainly started off with a bang and that all femi nine affair tabes place this week end—the April Frolic! I just came back from the Co-ed bar ber shop where I had a trim they certainly are conveniently close to the campus and do the best work. You know they are right back of the Co-op between the Y. W. C. A. and the Co-op and just across the street from the Oregon building and it is easy to ran over between classes. I got the dearest new hat the other day, it is of Panama straw and this new lavender shade that is sio good this spring. It is so cool and light you hardly know you have it on and every one has commented on how good looking it is—when you come down this week-end I’ll take you down to Letitia Abrams Hat Shop over Wetherbee-Densmore’s and I am sure you won’t leave without a new hat. We had some rather special guests for dinner the other night and Marg had to arrange the table—she is so lazy and really busy too, that she went down to Raup’s florist shop and ordered a special basket 'of pink sweet peas with pale yellow tulips and ferns which looked marvelous with yellow candles in crystal candlesticks. When everybody exclaimed over it Marg said, “Oh, yes, I like to arrange flow ers so much.” Each term we change room mates and this term our room mate with all the furnishings moved out and we were left holding the empty room and to day we down to the Aladdin Gift Shop and got a pair of the best looking brass candle sticks. I think we’ll have to lock them up to keep them. They had some good incense that left a motto in it’s ashes and is rather in teresting to wait for the incense to burn to discover the motto. That candy store across the street from the Eugene hospital has the best bargains every Fri day and Saturday. This week they are having peanut brittle at 19e a pound and log roll for 44c a pound and a pound box of assorted homemade candy for 49c. The name of the shop is McKillop’s. The Eugene Art and Gift Shop has changed ownership but they have the same line of clever ar ticles and lovely pictures. In there looking around the other day and we saw a huge, red mag azine basket with a china Ches hire cat nestled in it. But what I did buy was a blue china dog that smokes incense and will look well with my brass candle sticks. » * » Have ordered home baked ham, Boston brown bread, baked beans and huge ripe olives of the May wood brand—these are all for the feed we are going to have after the April Frolic Saturday night. We ordered them from Underwood-Elllott’s on thirteenth street about a block and a half towards town from the Alpha Chi house. Stopped^ in at Hasting Sisters for a marcel today and Mrs. Ho vey. has just come back from Portland where she attended lec tures and demonstratibns given by Madame Lueile, Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Mowry, all of New York and Chicago. Some of the things they discussed were the new “vaper” marcel, which isn’t a marcel but is a permanent wave and they don’t use electricity but have a special machine and it takes a much* shorter time. Hair tinting and facials were gone into a a great extent. An other point of interest is the fact that the bob is ‘passed’ in the east and the long bob with a soft, loose marcel ig allowed but long hair is the thing. I went to the Anchorage to a luncheon the other day and was so pleased by the service. They had special flowers and little extras like jellies and other things that one usually gets at home. They like to have you call and make your reservation early and they can plan all these v extras for your table. They serve special dinners, too. Must close and get ready for dinner as we are having guests —to be specific, the Emerald staff. As ever, CAI^pL.
