UNION
NOW!
By Ann Reynolds
Since the last time this col
umn appeared in print, impor
tant things have happened to the
student union movement. Follow
ing the governor’s approval of
Senate Bill 256 authorizing issu
ance of $250,000 in bonds, Presi
dent Donald M. Erb appointed a
committee to do some immediate
work on the problems of finding
a site and discovering main fa
cilities desired for the building.
This committee has already
shown that it means to function
promptly. Tuesday evening the
five faculty members and the five
students met for the first time
in a three-hour session. Already,
during that one meeting, they
have narrowed down the long list
of prospective sites to the two
most feasible locations. Each of
the proposed sites was carefully
considered as to central location
on the present and future cam
pus, and cost of the first units to
be financed by the $250,000.
Many of the sites were eliminat
ed as a result of that first meet
ing as the committee discovered
reasons pro and con regarding
the two remaining sites under
consideration.
Decisions Not Final
Perhaps it should be explained
now that the decisions of this
committee, of course, will not be
absolutely definite. This com
mittee was appointed merely to
present rcommendations to the
higher board of education which
will ultimately issue the decision.
During the meeting it was dis
covered that in February, 1940,
President Erb appointed a com
mittee of experts on building ar
chitecture and arrangements.
The committee, composed of Dean
Ellis F. Lawrence, Fred Cuth
bert, and Will V. Norris, investi
gated thoroughly the possible
sites for the building. At the end
of their investigation they sub
mitted to the board of higher ed
ucation one first site preference
and one alternate site. These
sites w'ere approved by the board.
The first site preference was the

block on which Dr. H. D. Shel
don’s house is now located. The
reason for choosing this location
was that the campus was de
signed to grow east and south
from Johnson hall; thus the build
ing would be more nearly the
center of extracurricular activity
and student interest.
Alternate Site
Alternate site was the one
north of the Y hut and facing
the mall. Both sites are about
equal distances from the library,
theoretical center of the campus.
The main objection to the first
choice is that money would have
to be paid for the purchase of
land on which homes are now lo
cated. The land north of the “Y”
hut is outside the underground
utilities network for the campus
so that perhaps an even greater
amount of money would have to
be paid out for steam tunnel and
other such facilities.
The two choices of the faculty
student committee has so far
agreed with this decision of the
former committee. However,
nothing has been definitely decid
ed and will not be until the com
mittee is sure that they know
exactly what the students want.
Providing their final recommen
dation conflicts with the original
suggestions the board of educa
tion would have to reverse their
decision if they saw sufficient
reason to do so.
This committee is planning to
meet every week until their work
is done and so we'll give you the
results of their investigation as
promptly as possible.

A character once decided that
“consistency is the hobgoblin of
little minds.” Just in case pro
ducers of the Fitch Bandwagon
or Glenn Miller (or both) decid
ed to get intellectual and read
the stray thoughts of great men,
let me reassure them the popu
lace does not generally hold with
this theory.
In past weeks the Bandwagon
has presented Bob Crosby, Gus
Arnheim, Benny Goodman, and
Sunday Jimmy Dorsey. Joe Lipp
man’s “Turn Right” and Toots
Camarata’s arrangement of "Am
apola” were among the numbers
presented by “The World’s
Greatest Saxophonist.” Such mu
sic as this if continued will prob
ably have people washing their
hair every day with you know
what.
Some Waxing
At the same time Miller has
waxed two numbers worthy of
note. Last month it was “Song
of the Volga Boatmen,” done in
the manner of “Tuxedo Junc
tion.” This month it’s “I Dreamt
I Dwelt in Harlem,” better than
the former and his best since the
latter. Another potential hit
played over Glenn's air show, is
“The Spirit is Willing.”
Smooth and Solid: Harry
James’ “Flight of the Bumble
bee,” by Rimsky-Korsakov and
“Carnival of Venice.” (Columbia).
Here are two reasons why James
is billed as “The Nation’s Num
ber One Trumpeter.”
If you like barrelhouse and
Gene Krupa, his “Drum Boogie”
(Decca) is good.
Woody Herman turns in a mas
terful performance in “Fur
Trapper’s Ball,” (Decca) featur
ing the leader’s clarinet, Yoder’s
string bass, and plenty of rhythm.
Woody’s new theme, “Blue
Flame,” is on the other side.
“Tuesday at Ten”
Plenty of Count Basie’s power
ful rhythm section is in “Tues
day at Ten” with Drummer Jo
Jones and the Count taking the
honors. Jimmy Rushing sings
“Undecided Blues” on the other
side.
Sweet: As if Bing- Crosby
wasn’t enough, the Merry Macs
and Bob Crosby’s Bob Cats are
added to “Dolores’’ (Decca) from
the movie, “Las Vegas Nights.”
“De Camptown Races” by Ste
phen Foster was resurrected for
the other side.
Also Good
Jan Savitt (Decca) cut a time
ly number from Rimsky-Korsa
kov’s Scheherazade Suite, “The
Young Prince and the Young
Princess.” “My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice” from Samson and
Delilah on the other side is also
good.
The spell cast by Ginny Simms
should have worn off by now, but
“Too Beautiful to Last” which
she sings with Kay Kyser (Col
umbia) sounds like the successor
to “I Hear a Rhapsody.” In case
any women read this, handsome
Harry Babbitt sings “You Step
Harry Babbitt sings “You
Stepped Out of a Dream” on the
same record. Both numbers are
from “Ziegfeld Girl.”

fathers fought so zealously, will
be snatched away and Americans
will be unable to boast of even a
semblance of freedom.
It is necessary to seize the bull
by the horns. The American peo
ple must protest these actions in
such a manner as to leave no
doubt as to their wishes in the
matter. A storm of indigination
over the abridgement of civil lib
erties at this time might save
not only Harry Bridges but also
the ragged remnants of freedom
W’hich we still possess. It might
even restore to some degree the
freedom we had before the forces
of industrialism began the slow
process of completely crushing
the working man.
Sincerely,
A Worried Student.

Hearst Rifle Match
Ends Year's Work
For UO Marksmen
The Hearst rifle matches
brought to a close Oregon’s
sharpshooting program for the
current year. Targets were sent
to each team for firing upon be
fore witnesses. They were then
returned for scoring to the match
officials.
Regulation army target shoot
ing rules were used in the con
test. Each contestant made five
shots in each of the four standard
positions, standing, sitting, kneel
ing, and prone.
Marksmanship awards were
given to the following: Malcolm
Almack, Edward Berg, Bruce
Buell, Pat Darsey, John Ericson,
LeRoy Kaegi, Bill Kirkpatrick,
Rex Peters, James Rankin, Bob
Sawyer, Gene Strickland, Parker
Hemingway, Milton Richard
son, Aaron Jones, and Clifford
Anet.
Parker Hemingway, freshman
from Portland, won the Byrom
and Kneeland prize of $10 and a
medal for outstanding frosh
shooting.
Col. Lyon Speaks

Col. R. M. Lyon, head of the
University military department,
addressed the chamber of com

day noon at the Osburn hotel.
He told the group that a new
ROTC armory was needed to ac
commodate the increased enroll
ment in military courses. He said
that plans have been drawn up,
and the bill is before congress
now asking for WPA funds for
such a structure.
The war department is also
making a survey of ROTC units
for the use of summer camps,
Col. Lyon revealed. In the event
the University is chosen for such
a camp, about 400 men can be
accommodated here, he said.

“Dandelion Day” for the pur
pose of lawn -and order was
planned by student leaders at
the University of Kansas recent
ly in an effort to rid the school’s
yards of spring’s most fertile
flower.
All classes will be dismissed
for one morning as soon as the
pests have fully matured. About
4000 well-armed students, in 75
squads of 20 men and 10 women
with a captain for each team,
will descend on the yellow de
mons. To make the task more
pleasant, the student body pres
ident will serve Coca-Cola to the
workers at the l'educed rate of
3 cents a bottle.

A senior at Michigan State col
lege made a list of eight girls
from which he was going to
choose his date for a dance. Af
ter he got the date he put the
list in a quiz book and forgot it.
The following day he had a test
and used the same quiz book, and
when he got the test back he
found the prof had given him 100
per cent on the quiz and B plus

An instructor in a physical ed
ucation class at Michigan State
college, coming to class a little
late recently, found the class
members in their street coats,
pointing to a notice on the board:
“As we feel we are undernour
ished we move the class adjourn
to the local soda bar.”
Probably attracted by the offer
of free nourishment for herself,
the instructor marched off with
the class for a group lesson in
how to consume a sundae.
