ASUO Membership Drive Will Resume
Russell to Head
Card Campaign
For Next Term
New Chief Seeks to Make
Drive Successful
Privileges Are Told
Roland Hayes, Hoffmann,
Heifitz, Durant Slated
To Appear Here
Bill Russell, senior in business
administration, has been appoint
ed by Joe Renner, student body
president, to head the intensive
campaign to be conducted next
term for membership in the Asso
ciated Students of the University
of Oregon.
Russell, who served on the same
campaign last spring, after the
state board of higher education
made the payment of student body
fees optional, intends to work in
collaboration with the graduate
manager's office. p.ussell is going
to conduct the drive with two ob
jectives in mind: first, to draw a
distinct line between members and
non-members, so as to be fair to
those who support the activities of
the A.S.U.O. by paying the $5 fee,
end second, to organize an exten
sive membership campaign to be
gin work at once.
Enrollment Goal High
“The student administration
hopes to have the continued sup
port and coopration of all stu
dents who believe in student gov
ernment and who wish to partici
pate in student body activities,”
stated Russell last night. “This
term the percentage of students
belonging to A. S. U. O. reached 85
per cent of those enrolled in the
University. Next term we hope to
reach even a higher percentage as
the A.S.U.O. has equally as many
privileges to offer.”
Student cards will entitle the
owner to participate in all A. S.
U. O. activities, such as the Ore
gana and the Emerald, and in all
class activities and elections.
Hayes to Return
Roland Hayes, noted negro ten
or, is to give a return concert at
McArthur court February 28 be
cause of popular demand. Stu
dent body members will be admit
ted free to this event. He received
a huge ovation last winter, one of
the largest crowds of students and
townspeople ever to gather in Mc
Arthur court turning out to hear
him.
Another privilege to be extended
to student body members next
term will be the free admission to
the concerts of Jaschea Heifitz,
world famed violinist, who will ap
pear in concert January 19, and
Joseph Hoffman, famous pianist,
who is scheduled to give his con
cert on February 10.
i-iugn Kosson, graduate manager,
announced last night that Will Du
rant, popular writer, will lecture
on the campus on February 14.
A. S. U. O. members will be ad
mitted free to this affair also.
Concert Scheduled
The University band and orches
tra are also scheduled to appear in
concert during the winter term, to
which A. S. U. O. members will be
admitted free of charge.
A subscription to the Emerald
is given with each student body
ticket.
Last, but not least, free admis
sion to all home basketball games
will be given to students purchas
ing membership cards. Oregon is
rated as a contender for the bas
ketball championship this year and
many games of vital importance
will be played in the Igloo.

Circulation of Library
Shows Slow Increase
Increase in the use of the circul
ation department of the library, ac
cording to M. H. Douglass, librar
ian, has not risen in proportion to
the increase in student enrollment.
In 1933 a total of 110,197 books
were borrowed, 59,086 in October
and 51,111 in November while 111,
S4S were used in 1934, 62,074 in
October with a decrease to 49,774
in November. The decrease in No
vember was probably due to the
extra holidays that were allowed.
Perhaps the greatest increase
was in the use of periodicals, which
rose from 20 to 174.
