Chairman Glenn Wil liams announced that eight coed houses voted 100 per cent for the plan. Complete returns from women’s living groups show all but one liou.se will turn over receipts from the cooperative store, good for a five per cent dividend, to apply on the general building fund for a stu dent union on the Oregon campus. Men’s houses to date have filed a majority vote in favor, with a few more returns yet to he submitted. Box to Be Set: Up House presidents were contacted last week by Florence Collier, Mary Elizabeth Earl, and Warren Treece to call for a vote of the members, affording the committee definite knowledge of campus reaction to ward the idea.

Phone 265 ASUO Hears Gilkeg Talk At Assembly Emphasizes Value Of Education and Learning Ability By IlAY SCHRICK Emphasizing the value of educa tion in balancing a person’s life and holding his activities in check, Dr. Charles W. Gilkey, dean of chapel at the University of Chica go, yesterday pointed out the need for developing learning capacity in daily living instead of accepting mere facts. Dr. Gilkey appeared at a special AF5TJO assembly in Gerlinger hall, and addressed Oregon students on the subject, “Imponderables of Education.” He brought out the im portance of developing perspective in laying of future plans. Values Needed “This means,” he declared, “that we should try to set values to things which happen around us. There are two main elements: One is the conspicuous physical action which is only temporary. The oth er is intangible and difficult to describe, but it is permanent.” He described the latter as al most a part of the atmosphere, something that was present and felt inside the mind. Dr. Gilkey claimed that the greatest part of a person's life was built on these. “There are, for example, facts about college when I went to school,” he explained. “They still exist as happy memories but their broad capacity is gone. The great est things are those which exist as mere spirit, some roots of per sonality from certain guiding pro fessors that understood life and living.” Superior Learning Dr. Gilkey stated that the Amer ican view has too long been to build huge institutions and develop complicated curricula. He empha sized that this does not necessarily lead to superior learning. “It has been the same way in religion,” he added. “We build elaborate churches and even these do not signify a superior form of worship. There must be a spirit, an inner feeling present, one of give and take. Religion is not a slot machine in which you drop a nickel with the hope of receiving some bountiful rewards.” Extracurricular activities, Dr. Gilkey said, are another way of slowing up a person in later life. He expressed the view that peo ple who show great versatility in college are later often lucky just to be able to keep up with the pack in the daily rush of events. He termed this a lack of inner per spective, and of education in its real form. Dr. Gilkey was introduced by Dr. Donald M. Erb, University president. Included on the assem bly were two numbers by a student brass quartet. Duckling Gang (Continued from pane three) total of points in their victory march.
