SOHRICK Oregon's 20-year myth of a student union touched reality last night. Officially okayed bv a joint wavs and means committee of the state legislature, a bill calling for a $250,000 student union building on the University campus was introduced in the senate for discussion. Walker Declares: Declared president of the senate, Dean Walker, at the Idaho Oregon basketball game Friday night: “We appreciate the need for such a building . . . the measure as presented can be financed with no cost to the state . . .

I am not cer tain where the ways and means committee got the bill,” concluded the senate president upon further questioning, “but it was probably from permission of the state board (of higher education).” ‘No Question’ Declared speaker of the house, Robert S. Farrell, Jr.: “No ques tion about it (when queried about possible passage of bill).
