It, sounds good on the tongue, and at Corvallis there is a debt-bound Memorial Union, but as far as this University is concerned common knowledge does not go much farther. This condition, however, stands a good chance of undergoing “the cure” before (lie time comes for cornerstone laying, if the ef forts of the ASUO student union committee bear fruit. If the committee has its way there will not be a student in the county who will not know just what is on the fire for the future. # # # 'T'JIE student union will he the next building to go up on the campus, that much is accepted by the committee. The building almost got its start this year, and it would have if federal l’VVA money had held out. Now a waiting game is being played, a game where at the first smell of available funds competent supporters will go to hat, armed with plans and figures, prepared to come home with a student union tucked away in their pockets. Long an enthusiastic, quietly working group, the committee, a permanent body whose members serve four years and arc re placed each year as the seniors graduate, moved up to the front last week in its first meeting of the team. All through summer they corresponded, keeping up with new develop ments. During fall term about all they could do was to study various student union systems now in use. At this time they were waiting for Chairman Hoy Vernstrom to round into shape a display of all relevant material avail able, mostly gathered by himself during the summer in the course of his nation-wide wan derings. Vernstrom looked over the student, union plants in half the states of the union, and lie brought home with him their setups. The committee studied the facts. * # # rJ''lJE fruits of this combined labor arc about to conic before 1 lie student body, and before anyone else who might be interested. The display is permanent, and the committee has even managed to get a room in the base ment of Johnson hall which will be the “Stu dent Union room” until the dirt starts to fly from the excavation for the new student building. It is planned to have this room open every week, with some member of the regular committee in attendance to answer questions, hi this way a better understanding of the problems and requirements coincident with 1 he developing of a student union will be made clear to those who are now in doubt. And if they go to visit they must surely see, for included in the display, which covers walls and tables like a county fair exhibit, are pic tures, graphs, charts, piles of documents, and reams of other material showing all there is to be known about the systems in effect in some of the student unions now in operation. # * * jj^VEN the Dads are to look over the student union display when they come to the cam pus for Dads’ Day weekend, a couple of weeks from now. There they will learn how com pletely lacking in hot air is student union in formation, and just what is the purpose be hind it, as well as plans already made to insure success. The, freshmen too have been roped into the program, in a fifteen-person interest arousing committee, whose sole purpose is to inform itself on the student union plan. It is to keep tlii‘ freshmen student-union minded, in view of the fact that it is more benefit to them than to any other present, undergraduate class when the union is built, for they still have their three and a half years at the University. All the main committee is after is to get students to go and look over what is to be seen in Johnson hall basement. After that they figure no selling will be required. Jt is only proper lhat students should make it a point to get to the exhibit, for the project is for students, and by them and the only way to have a satisfactory building is to plan it be fore it is built rather than after. jyjOKli a\ i 11 be heard from .student, union as the year moves along'. The committee will meet, every other week. They are even planning' an assembly program devoted to student, union, as an educational function. At any rate it is plain that with so many ardent barkers working intelligently toward 1 heir end the student union is much closer to accomplishment, than otherwise. Without pushing it ought, never eoiue true. As it is now the preliminary financial framework is al ready in operation, with student union draw ing down a substantial percentage from every AfcJUO card sold. It is a slow' process, but it will get there. The BAND BOX By BILL MOXLKY Wrong Song for Bars Not long ago Joe Howard, the Grand Old Man of Tin Pan Alley was invited to sing at a prison near New York. So Joe dusted off his silk hat and wont into a spirited rendition of "1 Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now?” It really got 'em. About half of the men in the room got a kind of far-away look in their eyes and Joe was patting himself on the back when ho suddenly realized he was singing the wrong song. Those inmates really were won dering -who'. kit ing her now . Joe changed to another song in nothing flat.

The idea is to combine a dance hall with a cafeteria so eating and dancing can both be enjoyed at the same time.

Light L'-li1 :'c™ r..^t Birbdra Jeac I attle Stability Gets Underway '^^7’IIEN the near-ineligibility of Jim Pick ett. junior class president, put the judi ciary and the AKUO executive committee to work last week there was no doubt that some thing was going to be done to prevent any like situation from ever happening again. The junior class was not only without the top 50 per cent of its officers but it was also without a constitution, at a time which made the threat particularly unfortunate, with Junior Weekend work about to begin. During the thickest part of the legal tangle Hie executive committee declared that a com mittee of all officers of all classes would meet to formulate permanent constitutions for each class, to do away with the necessity of work ing up a new code each year. Yesterday the first evidence of action ap peared with the appointment of the president of the senior class to head the committee. Accordingly, fifteen undergraduates will soon be in the throes of drafting four new constitu tions. group will take almost bodily some exist ing document, possibly one of the present class constitutions, iron out the kinks if any, and make it general. There is no reason for them to start from scratch. Viewed in this light their work does not seem too difficult. What must not be lost sight of, however, is t hat no matter what forms are adopted as “permanent” there will always be room and provision for revision when necessary, al though change may never come to pass, if the work about to be clone is done well enough. The principle of stable constitutions is a sound one. It will be interesting to see what the committee does with it. Results will soon be forthcoming. # * # probably be done is that the Dad's Prexy Visits Campus, Reviews Plans Record Turnout Expected of Dads January 26-27 A dad’s touch was added to campus Dads’ Day preparations with the visit yesterday of Loyal H. McCarthy, president of the Ore gon Dads’ club. With pre-celebration signs point ing to a record turnout, McCarthy reviewed student plans for play ing hosts to the dads. Arrange ments for mailing the special Dads’ Day Emerald to all dads in the state were also discussed by McCarthy and student committee men. The state organization, in con junction with local groups, is en deavoring to make arrangements whereby dads will have transporta tion furnished to them so that they may make the trip from all parts of the state. Erection of the gates to the cam-1 pus was also discussed, and Mc Carthy promised to bring the ques tion of their immediate erection before their attention at the meet* ing of the Dads Saturday morning. Students Apply For Air Course Director of School, Carlton E. Spencer, To See Prospects Sixty University students who wish to enroll in next fall’s civil ian aeronautics flying school have already filed application for class membership, Carlton E. Spencer, director of the school, announced yesterday. The number, including five girl students, has been mounting at the rate of two new applications per day. According to Mr. Spen cer, the total number is expected to reach more than 300 for next year. "If that many students do ap ply,” the director revealed yester day, "I intend to ask the civilian aeronautics authority for a larger quota next fall, and I hope that the great interest on the part of students as evidenced by the large number of applications coming in, will cause the CAA to look with favor upon my request.” Choice of students is based on seniority, grades, and physical health. All those interested in the course may see Mr. Spencer in Soph Societies (Continued from page oi't) by Oregon students for cokes will bring a> goodly portion of a col lege education to Chinese students struggling for learning," student leaders of the drive explained last night.

'Resist, Fight' Chinese Slogan, Dr.Koo Declares Assembly Speaker Says 'Sheer Spirit' Favors Defenders “Resist and fight the invader; strengthen your own country!’’ With this determined war slogan of the Chinese people, Dr. T. Z. Koo, noted author and lecturer, struck the keynote to his speech, “China Today and Tomorrow,’’ be fore a special student body assem bly in Gerlinger hall yesterday morning. “China is fighting a major war,” Dr. Koo declared, “but even in spite of this the people are doing everything in their power to build up the nation. Education is being pushed harder than at any other time in Chinese history, and stu dents are migrating to the west in hope of finding a quite place for study. Industry Faster Now “Industry is increasing at a rate faster than during peacetime. Sheer spirit and ability to make | something out of nothing is the dominant factor behind the work going on in China today,” Dr. Koo said. Dr. Koo discussed at length his country’s standing from an eco nomic and military standpoint as well as from the social side. He! said that in external and internal credit the nation was in a far bet ter position than is generally ex pected by the outside world. Tunnel Extension Scheduled Soon January 23 will see the initial step in the building of an extension to the underground tunnel system that will' bring heat, telephone, water, and electricity to Chapman hall, the library, and the education and music buildings. The project, under the super vision of Albert Anderson, was a result of a $87,669 grant from the Works Progress administration, and a state grant of $4,200. Em ploying about 50 men, the con struction will last from a year to 18 months, and will cost approxi- ! mately $110,000. “This will be an open-cut type of construction,” Dr. W. V. Norris, consulting engineer for the pro ject, said. “Open-cut means that the work will be done from above the ground, resulting in a complete tunnel when finished,” Dr. Norris explained. The work will start at the rear of Chapman hall, and go south to the library, where it will continue to the education and music buildings. ^3 fn] fnl HrC fnl fifl fill fnl Hi fnl i«i r«l rcn rcn rcn r=i nn m i m ra m ra rr I COSMETIC SPECIALS!
