Polled by the fresh promotion
committee to gauge student opin
ion on the proposed donation of
co-op receipts for the student un
ion building, most campus living
organizations filed favorable re
ports by last night, indicating the
majority of students are in favor of
the project. 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. Results were ob
tained by telephone.
If the plan is adopted, the com
mittee may decide to station a box
in the Co-op for students to de
posit their receipts after each pur
chase.
At a regular meeting yesterday
at 1, Virgil D. Earl, dean of men,
talked to committee members ex
plaining past financial set-ups and
the results of appropriations and
funds for an Oregon student un

re-appropriated in public works
administration projects, construc
tion could start at once.
Dean Earl cited last year’s mix
up in the location of the senior
hall as an example of the need for
an available ballroom, which would
be provided by a student union.

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.
