Document Awaits Senate Approval, Governor’s Okay Representatives Voice Five Nay Votes; Concurrence by Upper House Necessary On Minor Amendments in Building Issue By J. NICHOLS and K. STITZER Senate Bill No. 25G—the so-called “student union’’ author ization bill, appeared today almost certain to become law within the next few days. The bill went back to the senate Wednesday for concurrence on minor amendments after the house passed it Tuesday with only five dissenting votes. Concurrence on the amendments hy the senate (which pre viously passed the bill unanimous ly) would leave signature by the governor the only necessary step toward its becoming law. Sprague Contacted Governor Charles A. Sprague, contacted Wednesday, declined to make a definite statement until he received the bill from the senate, but indicated that “in all prob ability” he would sign it. The measure would authorize the state board of higher education to float a $250,000 bond issue for construction of the student union building at Oregon. A similar pro vision is also made for an audi torium building at Oregon State college. i Funds for repayment of the bonds would come from building fees, rental from University prop erties, revenues from use of the student union building itself, and gross revenues from athletic con tests and student activities. Neuberger Explains Representative Richard L. Neu berger (D., Multnomah), Oregon ex-'35, voted against the bill in the house. In a wire to the Em erald Tuesday, he explained that he had voted against the building measure because bonding com panies required that student build ing fees be pledged as security on the bonds. He had hoped, Neu berger declared, that these $15 an nual building fees could be aban doned in order to aid needy stu ' dents. “Otherwise, bill is all right and I wish the University the utmost pleasure and success in its new building,” he wired. Plans for the union building as now authorized are still in the ex perimental stage.
