I Dads Plan New Deal For Campus Beauty By JIMMIE LEONARD To say that the University of Oregon has evolved from a cow pasture would only serve to en hance the progress that has attend ed its 64 years of existence. A committee of Oregon Dads re cently made a survey of the Uni versity’s campus. They discovered that in one respect it was sur passed by a cow pasture—a cow pasture has an entrance. Iron Gate Planned In conjunction with E. F. Law rence, dean of the school of archi tecture and allied arts, and F. A. Cuthbert, associate professor of landscape architecture, the Dads’ committee drew up a beautification plan that calls for gates of hand wrought iron to be located near Eleventh street at the main en trance to the University on the new Pacific highway past the campus. The projected highway is ex pected to draw much of the down town traffic away from Thirteenth street, which runs through the cen tral part of the campus. A broad mall will be flanked on both sides by sidewalks and ave nues of lawn bordered by flowering shrubs and trees. The esplanade will extend through the campus be tween Oregon and Commerce halls, Condon and Chapman, and will ter minate at the library. Fund Almost Complete The crowning feature of the project, the plans of which are al ready complete, will be the distinc tive and beautiful iron gates. The undertaking is of much greater magnitude than was originally contemplated, Loyal H. McCarthy, Oregon Dads’ prexy, Portland, stated in a letter to Dean Karl W. Onthank of the personnel adminis tration recently. The cost of the gates is about $25,000; only $2,000 is still needed.

Maxine Glad First Coed to Solo Bringing her plane rn sans in structor, Maxine Glad became the first coed student pilot to solo in Oregon yesterday. Maxine completed the required amount of dual instruction hours Thursday and received the go ahead signal from Instructor Charles Mears after a preliminary check flight. “It came as a great surprise to me,” she reported. “We had just landed and he told me to take it around myself. It wasn’t hard, since the plane is easier to fly when the weight is less.” As far as is known definitely, Maxine may be the first in the Northwest to make the lone trip under the Civil Aeronautics Au thority civilian flight program. Making “graduation” flight with perfect weather, she cited atmos pheric conditions as “just right.” Third in line of soloists from the Oregon school, Maxine follows Pierce Mallory and Joe Walker, who soloed last week. Walker, a member of Instructor Steve Hath away’s “squadron,” was first to make his initial flight with the minimum of dual hours. The eight-hour limit is nearing for most of the fledglings as good weather prevails, and the next few weeks should see several more rise to the ranks of soloist. All flights are canceled whenever the visibil ity drops below a designated nor mal. Dr. Branton to Talk In the third of a series of four meetings, Dr. J. R. Branton, head of the department of religion, will address an open group of the Stu dent Christian council at 4:30 o’ clock Monday evening.

Student Union Possibilities Described — Conservation of Funds Could Aid Towards Building By JIM BANKS For years a beautiful dream on the horizon, a union hall for Ore j gon’s associated students can be j come a reality fulfilling the de mand for an assembly room, dance floor, and office space for commit tee activity, it is evidenced by a financial report on ways and means of financing a student union build ing. Increased Registration Expected Mr. Ji O. Lindstrom, University business manager and chairman of a committee appointed to study ways of financing the building ar rived at this conclusion: “It is quite possible with a nor mal growth in registration, that within four or five years the Uni versity can look forward to con structing a student union, provided every effort is made to conserve student building fees and rental income.” The increased enrollment would place the University income in a position acceptable by the Public Works Administration as ample security, thereby paving the way for a 45 per cent grant by PWA, the remaining 55 per cent to be loaned. A building worth $300,000 would be the outcome of this plan. Mr. Lindstrom reported that pres ent funds could provide a new building worth $165,000, but the I result would be a hall the size of j Chapman. I’ee JNot Available Until 1946 “At present,” Mr. Lindstrom stated, “a large part of the student building fee is pledged to pay off the bonds on Chapman, the library, and the men’s physical education building.” At the regular rate of repayment, based on today’s en rollment, the building fee will not be available until 1945 or 46, and then only a portion. If enrollment gains as anticipated the date of complete payment will be consider ably sooner. Other Income Possible Other available income sources throughout the proposed PWA loan are rental receipts totalling $2,400 per year from the Co-op, fraternity house property. The committee indicated in its report another income source amounting to $23,000 from the Uni versity Alumni holding company, (Please turn to page jour) Symphony Hour Set The Saturday evening symphony hour is an attraction at Westmin ster house each Saturday evening at 7 o’clock.

Loss Shoves Oregon Into Fourth Place Webfoot Hoopmen Still on Title Run; Dick Top Scorer Oregon’s chance for a third straight northern division title were dealt a stunning blow at Seattle last night, where over 8000 screaming fans watched the Washington Huskies push them into fourth place with a 39 to 31 defeat. Completely out - tossing the Ducks, the Huskies jumped into an eight-point lead early in the first quarter, and were never headed. Baskets by John Dick and Vie Townsend brought the Web foots to within two points of them, hut Washington pulled away and was leading 22 to 17 at the half. Huskies Lead Early Using a long-range passing at tack, Washington pulled away to a ten-point lead early in the sec ond half, and it was John Dick who twice led Oregon rallies to keep the Ducks in the game. In the middle of the half baskets by Dick and Marshik brought the Oregonians to within five points of the Huskies, and later, with three minutes to play, baskets by Dick and Townsend and two free throws by Dick brought Oregon to within four points at 31-27, but Washington pulled out of danger to win comfortably. Only bright spot of the game, from an Oregon viewpoint, was John Dick's great game at center. Dick scored all but four of Orc (Phase turn to page three) Six of Luvaas Clan Attend Oregon Reverend Peter J. Luvaas will probably be bewildered on Dads’ day. He’ll have to do justice to each of the six departments in which his children are enrolled. Ranging from John, first year law student, to Helen, a high school senior taking music at the Univer sity, there are six Luvaases attend ing Oregon. Last year’s Yeoman president, John, found time outside social activities to make Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic honorary.

Two freshmen, Jeanette and Paul, are art and business adminis tration majors respectively. Helen, the youngest, is engaged in music.
