    Beauty Parlors, Movies,
Listed in Union "Musts”
Oregon Coeds want beauty parlors, a sun deck or porch, and
a movie room, among other things, in the Student Union
building after the war. The freshman committee, which is in
charge of gathering suggestions from students on the campus,
has gathered a number of pointers but still wants many more,
Gene Conklin, general chairman of the Student Union com
mittee said.
Various services are included on
the list of wants for the building.
A free student book exchange, a
photo shop and developing facil
ities, check cashing service, a
campus post office, a ticket bu
reau, and a lost and found office
are among student demands.
In the line of games and activ
ities, suggestions call for billiards,
table tennis, bowling alleys, an in
side archery range, and a bureau
to arrange for sports excursions
such as skiing and hikes.
In the list of social facilities stu
dents request fountains, record li
braries, dancing rooms, dining
halls, and meeting rooms for cam
pus organizations.
Writing and study rooms, a
recreational reading room, art and
book exhibits, trophy rooms, shops
for art and hobby work, practice
rooms, a newspaper collection, and
a bureau for conducting research
on campus problems and topics of
interest also appear.
Along with ideas from other col
leges with Student Union build
ings, the committee plans to work
out the details of just what the
University building will include.

Jean Frideger, ehuirmnn of the
war hoard, expressed her appre
elation of the support the canip j.;
has given the Red Cross and stated
that ail who had contributed
should be commended for making
the Red Cross service activities
here and abroad possible. Mary K.
Minor and Dorothy Rasmussen, co
chairmen of this drive, were equal
ly enthusiastic about the response
to the call for help and quoted
statistics to prove that the money
would be used for worthy pur
poses.

15,000 survivors of marine dis
asters and 119,000 persons in oth
er types of disasters. The Grips

worth of food, clothing, and medi
cine for Americans held by the
Japanese when that ship sailed last
September. The money for all of
this came from contributions.

the hospitality committee of the
war board, and Mary Jane Dunn,
head of living organization defense,

PFCJ.R. Taylor, ’42 Grad, -
Cited by F.D.R. for Record
Among the long list of Oregon students serving with honor
in the armed forces throughout the world, is a former student
who is a member of the famous rescue squadron of the India
China wing of the air transport command. PFC John R. Taylor,
who was graduated in 1942, is serving with this United States
army air force squadron which was recently cited by President
| Roosevelt for its spectacular rec
ord in supplying fighting forces in
China with arms, ammunition,
men, and supplies vitally needed
since the closing of the Burma
road.
Pfc. Taylor, who majored in
geography at the University and
played football, entered the service
in December, 1942, and has been
on duty in the China-Burma-India
theater for the past six months.
At present, his duties are those of
a dropper and gunner on the
squadron planes.
The rescue squadron is the unit
charged with aiding flying person
nel who have been forced down in
the jungles in their flights across
the spur of the Himalayas known
as the “hump”- between India and

Just a G.I. Seamstress?
If you’re forever getting out the needle and thread,
here arc sonic tips:
When a button comes off, sew it on well the
first time. A slip-shod job just means you’ll have
to do it over again soon.
Make your next shirt an Arrow. Arrow but
tons arc attached with a patented stitch, which
“anchors” them to a shirt.
Check your size—you may he wearing too small
a shirt and therefore causing too great a strain
on the buttons and seams. The Sanforized label
in an Arrow shirt guarantees shrinkage no greater
than 1%—no danger of an Arrow ever getting
too small!
