r Dry Run By P.F.C. TED GOODWIN Having no quarrel with Orson’s cousin Carveth and seeing no sig nificance in the fact that the Unit ed Nations now have 16 Russias to vote down in the peace confer ence, there is little ammunition for a colm, ergo dry run. In connection with the announce ment that Oregon Pfc’s can do more hurpees than other people is the significant fact that many little-used muscles are being de veloped'; for example, Jim Gibson can now wiggle his ears. He blushed a little when he sema phored the answer to a math prob lem and the proctor almost caught on. Whoever pinned the name “Rod ney” on the (late?) hyper-thyroid mongrel was guilty of immature judgment, lack of editorial integ rity, and youth’s tendency to leap at ill-founded conclusions. The dog is (was) really Big George. There is a decrepit white dawg weighing about 10 grams known and Little George and an underslung creature with a phenomenal ability to gain on fast moving cars called Black George. Black George is the most lovable of all. He is intensely gal lant in the face of oncoming front wheels. A true infantryman, he will someday try to stop a tank. Pfc’s in the infantry, (some thing like second lieutenants in the air corps) were prematurely happy to hear a recent ’treenogram to the effect when they have success fully completed' 25 missions they would be sent to some army camp for a rest. So few have left for places like Camp Roberts or Camp Hale that it is generally believed the wolf scare was something of a hoax.

With 'he assurance that construction will start as soon as the war is over, members of the all-campus Student Union committee are launching a campaign to find out what facilities will be need- j ed in the building. Before blueprints can be drawn op and financial estimates made, planners must know what facilities the students feel are necessary for campus life. The desires of Oregon students will determine to a large extent the size of the project and when the committee knows more about estimated cost, financial goals can be set. Helping the all-campus commit tee with the facilities campaign will be three class committees ap pointed last week. Members from the freshman, sophomore and junior classes were chosen as permanent members of the com mittee which will continue as long as the students remain in school. At the present time there is a nucleus of thirty students working on Student Union plans. Working from their new Student Union office in Johnson hall, these Union enthusiasts will start spring term to conduct personal symposi ums among Oregon students. A “suggested facilities” file has al ready been set up in the office and ideas can be handed in at the office or to a member of the com mittees. Student Union building and furnishing fund received a boost during the term and is now $68, 174.92. The state board of higher education officially approved of the allocation of Cooperative store rentals to the building fund pro viding that no emergencies arrive in the financial condition of the University during the war.
