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.

eeks Student ideas
Prospects for construction of a Student Union building on
tne campus in the immediate post-war period have been
brightened this term by a declaration from University officials
ihat the building is number one on the construction list. 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. A to

amounting- to $10,626.33 and the
annual rental of $2,500 will be
channeled into the fund.
In addition to the rental rev
enue, Student Union received a
gift donation from relatives of Tom
Taylor, Oregon alum who met his
death during World War II. The
$10,000 will be available for a
memorial room in the building.
