To belittle the value of (lie student body card, in view of the program il creates, is un reasonable. To oppose lhe student body card on principle is steam-heatcd idealism. There are people on this campus who would “have their cake and eat il too." Some such people can. but will not. buy student body cards, yet seek student body card privileges. Some of them watched the hasehall game Saturday from behind the fence. Those people are at faull. However, the statement of Associated Student President Renner, delivered at the baseball game last Friday, displayed poor psychological apjn'oaeh and even worse salesmanship. Air. Renners statement was directed to ward the people at the game who cheered from behind the center field Pence. Over the loudspeaker system Mr. Renner implied that perhaps •>() percenl of those people were advocates ot optional lees . . , people who did not want to pay the price hut who Wanted the “gravy." Perhaps he was cor rect. A lew of the onlookers, peering through the center field fence were students who could not afford the student body card nor the forty cent admission price. Tliev just liked baseball. Now a bleacher seal or a studenl body rat'd may not always be beyond tlm means ol' lliose lew students. It should he remembered that some day they may be prospective card holders. And in dealing with them there must be understanding and tael. Air. Renner, an ardetd and effective AS! () worker, lias an adequate understand jug of 1 lie situation and was motivated b\ i lie besi ol intentions, lie was, however, noticeably lacking in tact.

Berlin eer - Editor’s note: The Oregon Daily Emerald, in its drive to secure a student union building ! for the University of Oregon, asked Mrs. I (lerllnger, who was instrumental in securing the woman’s building for the campus, to state her views upon the proposed remodel ling of the woman’s building for a student union upon the building of a new physical education plant. In response to the Emerald's request, the former member of the University board of regents from 1914 to I Iff!) voices her opinions in the following article. CUNCE the Emerald lias voiced student opinion ^ so emphatic; against the devastation wrought in the Wo nan’s building (Gerlinger halli by recent attempts at “re-decorating,” and | I have been called on repeatedly to make state j ments in regard to this building that I was in strumental in securing, I am now stating for the j consolation of all donors, students, faculty, j townspeople and others interested, that President Boyer has appointed Mr. W. R. B. Wilcox of the department of architecture and fine arts to be the one University official to be consulted before any re-decorating or changes in any buildings ate made. Had this appointment been made be fore, the recent havoc in the woman’s building would not have been wrought. Under the present plan of friendly co-opera tion with Mr. Wilcox of the architecture and art department, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Lindstrom and others | in authority about buildings and grounds are I securing estimate as to the cost of restoring the I east lobby, stair-well of the grand stair case and plastered surfaces in alumni hall and the ceiling in that room to its former mellow beauty. This work of restoration will probably be done during ] this coming summer. At the State college an alumni committee on the care and preservation of their beautiful stu 1 dent memorial building has recently headed off ! some similar disaster to their building through a warning received by our experience. In the future this committee is to be consulted before any such changes in color scheme or alterations can be ' made. Oregon ft omen Handicapped Students of this generation should know that, about thirty years ago the American Association of University Women set as one most important requirement for membership that women must bo graduates of an institution of higher learning whicli had adequate women’s buildings for phys ical education, social and recreational life, and housing. At that time, and up to the building of Hendriqks hall and the woman’s building, women graduates of the University of Oregon were not permitted to join this important organization, \ and as a result were not eligible for certain scholarships, fellowships, and memberships in women's university clubs in other cities, etc. Col leges and universities that had not already com plied with this requirement moved heaven anti earth to acquire women's buildings, better hous ing facilities, et.( ., so that their women students would not be severely handicapped. Upon receiving my first appointment to the board of regents of the University of Oregon in ! 191-1-, 1 took a long journey at my own expense ' over the United States to visit colleges and uni- j versitles in order to see what were the first needs to be met at Oregon. Governor Oswald West in appointing me said, "Do make friends for the University and do look out for the interests of the women students, for they have practically nothing." Everywhere 1 went I found already beautiful ■ and adequate buildings for women students, or funds weie being raised to supply them. The little gymnasium used by our women students was so small and crowded that it was a positive menace j to health. So we set to work with determination I to raise the necessary $350,000 to build our worn- | an's building. Of this amount $110,000 came from literally thousands of private individual donors 1 and groups of people. This money raised from private sources provided t lie east or social wing of tlie building and its fine furnishings and t iloti the swimming pool. Tins money was given by generous Oregon per.pie from their private funds to supplement what was given by the legislature so that our women students might have adequate j quarters for physical and health education and a dignified social center which would also serve as ‘t renter tor faculty, townspeople, parents, stu dents, and guests to gather for social occasions. About the same time we secured the two women’s dormitories from tlie state. Snitf for Dean of H'omen A.n tui important pint of this social wing of ttu1 building was the suite of rooms on the third tJooi which was to serve as a place of residence for the dean of women and as an adjunct to her office in the administration building where con fident uil matters could be discussed with more privacy with students than in an office. This dean's suite of rooms and the two well equipped club rooms on the same floor for the women's league were generously turned over to Mrs. Mur ray Warner for her Chinese art collection until such a time as could secure a suitable art build ing to house her collection and other art objects. f found it much hardet to raise the $1100.000 for the art building- than d had been to raise the laigei amount for the woman's builiriug-, for we , bad no help from the state and people did not feel that an art building was half as urgent as a woman s building. Also it is the almost univer sal lulo now that when art treasures are given to an institution the donor is expected lo provide housing- lot- them and an endowment for upkeep. Uut thanks io the generosity of the family ami friends ot the late President Campbell, and the lad that every one wanted to make the Prince Campbell Memorial Art building- and its court of remembrance i worthy memorial to this beloved man. the money was finally secured from thousands of Oregon peopi • it w as. of course, ' expected itud as soon as this building was ready lor the Warner art collections that all this mutei ini would be moved out of the woman's building 80 ,hi't " niight be restored fully to the student " and the dean of women - u In all fail ness ;tu 11111 * accomplished non in m-i. . to keep t.ii.’ , .... .... : for private possessions or as a library. /Vo/ /<>/' a Student Union It 1ms been suggested by those who do not know' the back ground of all this that the woman’s building might be re modelled at considerable expense and made into a student union, and then that a huge com bined men's and women's gymnas- i ium might be built. The answer to this is that in a first class state university there must be separate facilities for men and women for health and physical education: that it would be highly undesirable from every angle to attempt to have men and women share a swimming pool and gymnasium facilities that of necessity have to be adapted to the different types of training necessary for men and women; that from a social angle it would be distinctly distasteful for the men as well as the women to have no privacy or freedom of separate quarters. Also it is ex traordinarily wasteful to spend money in altering big buildings to fit purposes totally alien to the purposes for which they were con structed. The money that paid for the woman's building was given for that purpose and none other. The men at the University dis tinctly need a large new gymnas ium and the students need a stu dents’ union and many pledges were made by the students toward (he building. My conviction is that for $25,000 or 530,000 a very at tractive and serviceable club house type of student union could be built on the rnillrace and that it should be furnished with substan tial. colorful things that could stand hard wear and tear. The costly and handsome antiques in the women’s building would not be suitable for a student union build ing. At the time pledges were be ing made toward the student union my two daughters who were stu dents there and I made pledges of a thousand dollars toward the furnishing of the men's lounge room in the student union. We shall be glad to redeem this pro mise when the student union is built. I sincerely hope that before long both the greatly needed men's gymnasium and the student union may be built.

For, among other good reason. Bob Garretson will play today at 4:45. Anyone who can get Bobby to do a 15 minute program of classical music on the ladio must be more than a good diplomat-salesman: he must be good and'lucky. Bob will repeat numbers heard on for mer programs, in response to re quests. The campus raido contest really begins Thursday next. The number of entrants is smallish; consolation lies in the assumption that pro grams will be of unusually high merit. Prizes totaling $75 will be awarded. Late entrees should con tact Truax at 1906.

Castles and Crowds in Spain _By Howard Kessler- - Editor’s not*': Willi this arti cle, the Hmerald’s globe-trotting reporter begins a new series of articles about Spain—past and present—after his extended wan derings through tli*' republic ly ing south of the Pyrenees.

I saw lots of things.” “For instance?” "Well, for instance -oh, castles and cathedrals, and things. Why have you taken this sudden inter est in Spain?" “That’s an easy one. You see I've never been to Spain and I would like to know something about the country. How did you travel?” “By train." "First class?” Of course. I had a kilometric ticket and Cook's showed me where to go in Spain.” "Well, where did you go?” “Oh, 1 went to Madrid. Toledo, Seville and a lot of other places.” "I see. Did you well, what do you want?" "It you please, mister. I’ve been l*) Spain also.” "Oh. you have, eh? Then how aid you travel?” "1 walked; 1 rode in a fish truck that had no windows for 2d hours ivhen snow lay two inches deep on the ground. 1 slept stretched out >n the wooden benches of a third hiss railway carriage so soundly mat 1 missed my train; I spent a '•ight in a tree because I was miles Tom any bed; 1 rode on busses ivithout buying a ticket." wi'll, now say. mats tine, vou ihould be able to tell me some hing about Spain." ., "i believe 1 could.

The lead paragraph is devoted to the peaceful demon stration conducted at the Univer sity of Oregon. Needless to say the protest was one of which we are very proud. The report which reached New 5 ork about the same time to the effect that the faculty had once again sanctoned compulsory ROTC \.as rather disheartening although it was encouraging to learn that the faculty sentiment against ‘compulsory war' was greater than it was last year. More discourag ing than any other factor was that the “liberal president of a lib eral institution" stood by his guns to put the stamp of approval upon ;m instrument of international re lationship which has been rejected by the nation at large. Very truly yours, Wallace J. Campbell, '32. Editor's note: Mr. Campbell after being graduated from the University in 1932 continued his study on this campus receiving his master's degree in sociology last year.

Stormed The Old Capitol As when the Goths and Vandals sacked Rome, was the simile brought to mind by pictures of our ruined Capitol, pathetically beau tiful with the columns of its porch es standing- out above the debris. Older Oregon, young as as it is, will dread the final demolition which shall erase entirely those majestic stairways. One picture at least is retained j .in our treasure files, wherein the western steps, from pavement to | portico, are crowded with a mass | of college folk, representatives from all the western schools. In that remarkable assemblage will be discovered many of our distin guished dignitaries of today, as well as others whose names are hallowed. It was the occasion of the first State Convention of the College Y.M.C.A. in the spring of 1892, under the vigorous, magnetic lead ership of John R. Mott, at whose instance the State Capitol was requisitioned for the sessions of the Association. And our picture was taken, as we massed ourselves, a delegation oi upwards or lot), on the western stair-case. There you will find Prince L. Campbell, principal of Monmouth Normal, later to be Oregon's fourth president; President Thomas Van Scoy, President of Willamette Uni versity; Willis C. Hawley, then on Willamette’s Faculty, subsequently its President, and still later our Representative in Congress for so many years; Burt Brown Barker, then a Senior in Willamette and most busy Chairman of the recep tion committee, now our own Vice President. And there too were Oregon's delegates, whose permission to at tend the Convention was deemed a most disgnal step in liberality of policy by our own Faculty, —eight men in all:—Jerry E. Bronaugh, Fred S. Dunn, John McClure, ’92; James A. Laurie, Frank B. Mat thews, ’94; E. DeWitt Connell, ex ’94; Clarence L. Keene, ’95; and Bert Osburn, ex '95. This first great gathering of col lege delegates unprecedented in the history of the State and perhaps never since equaled, was fairly vi brant with unthought-of possibili tics. Not only did it result in the first permanent organization of the University Y.M.C.A. which has continued unbrokenly to this day, but other inter-collegiate enter prises were incidentally broached and launched. It was the first time that every college had an oppor tunity to see the scions of all the others. Friendships and align ments were unlimited. Contests and conventions of all sorts result ed. The next year saw the very first inter-collegiate organization perfected, the Oratorical League, and heard the first college yells attempted. And that was on the steps of a structure to which wc must now ever refer as The Old Capitol. Next in the series: THE FIRST TIME WE WENT TO BAT.
