Union
Bill Gets
New OK
'Unanimous Vote'
Predicted bv Erb;
May Enter Today
Oregon’s ‘‘student union” bill,
Senate Bill No. 206, is expected
to go to the senate today in final
form, C. D. Byrne, secretary to the
state board of higher education,
said last night.
Byrne is working in Salem as a
representative of the board.
The bill would authorize the
University to devise wavs and
means to finance a $250,000 stu
dent union building on the Oregon
campus. It also provides similar
authorization for a $250,000 audi
torium building at Oregon State
college.
The state board recalled the bill
after it had previously been passed
by the joint ways and means com
mittee of the legislature and gone
to the senate Monday.
After some of the legal aspects
of the bill were checked, it was re
turned to the senate with amend
ments by a unanimous vote of the
ways and means committee Thurs
day.
‘‘The bill in its final form will
probably be presented to the sen
ate Friday,” Byrne said last night.
President Donald M. Erb said,
“I don’t think there will be any
contest on the bill. It asks for no
money, but merely for authoriza
tion. It should go through both
houses unanimously.”
