SOVIET LEGIONS PARADE, WAIT
,vWj3i
Russian armored cars form an impressive pattern of steel as they parade in Moscow during- an anni
versary celebration of the Octobrist revolution. In a recent broadcast, Josef Stalin declared, “Soviet
Russia is ready for every eventuality and for this purpose is in a state of total mobilization.”
Fact-Finders
(Continued from pane one)
struction of the building near
Deady and Viilard would present
an architectural problem in that
it would be necessary to match
the architecture of the new build
ing with that of the two old
buildings. Necessity of cutting
down many of the trees now in
that section of the campus was
also mentioned.
Furthermore, Dr. Norris ob
served, construction of the build
ing here would create an obstruc
tion in the mall between the li
brary and the Dads’ gates.
Possibilities of a site on the
millrace were mentioned, but Dr.
Norris said that further details
for construction here were lack
ing since the idea of construction
on the race was relatively new.
In relation to this site commit
tee members mentioned reloca
tion of the Southern Pacific rail
road tracks and moving of the
hisrhwav These chanp-es wnnlrJ
make possible a building on the
race, they declared, but said they
were unable to present a definite
program until plans of the high
way commission and the South
ern Pacific had been made known.
Lounge, Eat, Play
Furnishings for the building
were discussed generally with
main discussion centering around
lounges, banquet rooms, and
game rooms.
The idea of a “music room”
where students could play phono
graph records was brought up
and the majority of persons at
the meeting seemed to favor an
arrangement of this sort. Such a
room, speakers said, would sup
plement the service in the music
school’s “Carnegie room,” which
was called "inadequate.”
J. O. Lindstrom, University
business manager, spoke briefly
on financial plans for the build
ing. The 1941 legislature, he said,
passed an enabling bill, which
would allow the University to
raise money for the building, but
it did not appropriate the funds
for it.
Comes the Pay-off
It would then, he said, be neces
sary to borrow necessary funds.
This would be done, presumably,
by bond issuance. Paying off the
bonds, which would understand
ably mature in 25 years, could be
accomplished by revenue from
student activities, rentals from
the University Co-op store, rent
als from leased space, and build
ing fees not previously pledged,
he said.
At present, he explained, there
is $40,000 in the student union
fund. Only $12,000 of this is in
cash, however. Another $15,000 is
loaned to the Associated Stu
dents, and $13,000 is invested in
real estate.
Persons at the meeting- dis
cussed the advisability of taking
student polls to determine a
cross-section of student opinion
regarding student union. Dr. Nor
ris declared that he wanted to
“prevent too quick crystalization
of opinion before we can get all
the facts.”
Prefer ‘Regulars’
In response to a question, Dr.
Norris said that campus organ
izations will be allowed to help
furnish various rooms of the
building. He declared, however,
that the committee wishes to
avoid definite assignment of
rooms to particular groups unless
these groups plan “seven-day
use” of the building.
Faculty members of the com
mittee are: Dr. Norris, Mr. Lind
strom, Virgil D. Earl, dean of
men; Fred Cuthbert, associate
professor of landscape architec
ture; and C. L. Ke’ly, professor
of business administration.
Student members are: Ray
Schrick, Mary Elizabeth Earl,
Uly Dorais, Bob Lovell, and Tiger
Payne, ex-officio member.
lune Old Oregon
To Carry Article
By J. MacGregor
The June issue of Old Oregon,
alumni magazine, will carry an
article by John Murdock Mac
Gregor, ’23, official bellringer for
the University of Oregon alumni
in New York. The article tells the
complete history of the student
union building, “For Ultimate
Good of the University.’’
Starting the movement for the
student union building in 1922,
MacGregor was president of the
student body. He is now a very
prominent attorney in New York,
and one of the officers in the na
tional interfraternity council.
Keeping in close contact with
Oregon in all ways possible, Mac
Gregor taught admiralty law at
Oregon’s summer session last
year. He entertains members of
the basketball team whenever
they go to New York.
Dr. Morris to Help
Install Merit System
Dean Victor P. Morris of the
school of business administration
is one of three Oregon residents
on a recently-established merit
system council set up in connec
tion with the federal social secur
ity program to work with the
public welfare commission in
Oregon.
The council’s first meeting will
be in Portland Friday. It con
venes in conjunction with the
meeting of the Oregon public wel
fare commission. Its first duty
will be to select a superintendent
for initial work on the system of
selection and promotion of the
entire personnel of the welfare
commission.
