Some took this as an indication that the student daily was being partial and was supporting one candi date over another. This was entirely untrue. The posters were stuffed in after the Emerald had left the University press. The students responsible for the action did so without au thorization and will be brought before the student discipline com mittee, upon petition of Emerald heads, later this week.

Student Union Need Cited by Professor “So integral in student activi ties that I don’t see how they get along without it,” is the opinion of James L. C. Ford, assistant professor of journalism, concern ing the University of Michigan’s huge student union building. “The need for one at Oregon is apparent,” he affirmed when approached on the question. First hand observer of student unions at many colleges, Mr. Ford cites the centralizing effect on campus activities and the ten dency toward a more democratic student life as beneficial points attributed to a union hall. Frater nal affiliations aren’t a barrier between groups when all students and faculty can associate on com mon grounds, he brought out. Alumni Entertainment "An important function which could best be filled by a union hall is alumni entertainment,” de clared Mr. Ford, a point seldom mentioned when weighing bene fits. An end to the dance floor problem, rooms for committee meetings, publications headquar ters, a rest lounge—with latest newspapers, a restaurant, and possibly adequate seating space for theatrical productions would all be provided by Oregon's pro posed structure. Theater Added Mr. Ford reports that Michi gan has added a theater that seats 3,000 with the finest equip ment in that area. Within the spacious halls are all types of eating places from a serve-your self to a table service cafe. Spe cial music rooms with classical albums are possible. The union would be a good place to go over notes for the next class. Assign ments for all classes could be posted on the bulleting board as (Please turn to page three) Air Corps Exams Slated Next Week Lieutenant Murray A.
