Cornerstone Around the Corner—Almost
of the .surest things about the per
enially just-around-the-corner student
union building at the University of Oregon
is that very few people have any good idea
just what a student union building constitutes.
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.

Joe was patting himself on the

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.

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

Health Program
PE Department
Will Work With
Board of Health
One of the moat modern and ef
ficient health education programs
for public schools in this part of
the country will be the result of
a new physical education program
to be inaugurated at the Univer
sity soon, according to Dr. Ralph
W. Leighton, dean of the Univer
sity school of physical education,
and J. F. Cramer, city superinten
dent of schools.
The new plan will make use of

Dr. Paul Anderson, recent addi
tion to the school of physical edu
cation faculty will serve half time

'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.
