Students, however, have become so accustomed to seeing this heavy-looking mass on the porch of McClure hall they pass it daily without giving it a second glance. The original, known as the Wil lamette meteorite, was discovered on a wooded hillside near the small town of Willamette, Oregon, by Ellis Hughes in 1902. Hughes, knowing that such a mass of metal must be valuable, moved the me teorite to his own adjoining prop erty through the use of a low flat truck, that he constructed, and a cable and windlass. It took him three months to complete the job. But he made the mistake of placing the meteorite on exhibition after getting it on his own prop erty and the owners of the land from which it was taken sued him to recover it. Winning their case they took the meteorite to Port land, where it was exhibited at the 1905 world’s fair. Sold to New Yorker A number of Oregonians wished that the mighty 16-ton meteorite might remain in Oregon, where it was found, but the owners re ceived a handsome offer for it, and sold the rock to Mrs. William Dodge II of New York, who pre sented it to the American museum of natural history in New York City. Several pieces of the meteorite were removed, however, before it was sold to Mrs. Dodge and they may be found in various museums in Europe and this country and in private collections. A 181-gram slab was presented to the Univer sity of Oregon by the American museum. This piece, owned by the Uni versity, has been ground, polished, and etched to show the beautiful crystalline structure of the meteor ite. Pieces may be seen in the exhi bition cases in the natural science museum in Condon hall. Mortar Board Plans Bar Sale Mortar Board will sell maple bars and glazed doughnuts today on the campus. The sale will be held from 11 to 4 at booths placed at the Co-op, the library, outside Friendly hall, and the art school. It will also be featured as a high light of the Heart Hop Wednesday at Hendricks hall, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Gamma Phi. The maple bars and doughnuts will be sold for ten cents each. Gerd Hansen, Mortar Board presi dent, announces that all profits made on the sale will be contribut ed to a scholarship fund. In past years Mortar Board has sold ice cream at booths on the campus. However, this term the committee decided to sell dough nuts and maple bars instead. Ice cream was sold to the living organ izations last week. Plans for the scholarship loan sponsored by receipts of this sale will be announced later.

Florence Hintzen, chairman of the drive, asks each war board representative to be responsible for a quantity of tins from his house, as this material is so vitally need ed in the war effort. Student Body Heads (Continued from page one) Eastern Oregon college of educa tion; and Doris Johnson, Oregon college of education. Unable to at tend, Jack Smith, president of the Southern Oregon college of edu cation student body, sent informa tion on his school. Meanwhile, it was revealed that a member of the state legislature had requested University of Ore gon student to stop writing letters to members of the state legislature concerning the building program. Reason for the request was not given. Investigation of the building situation was begun in an ASUO executive council meeting sev eral weeks ago when Gene Conk lin, junior representative, brought up the proposed bill and cited its inadequacies. Additional reesaroh revealed that the state legislature h a d appropriated $100,000 for buildings in the last 15 years for the state institu tions of higher learning in com parison to $3,000,000 spent through student fees and fed eral funds. Statistics further showed Oregon at the bottom of the list for western states in such appropriations. All four presidents wished to make it clear that action taken was entirely a student movement and that no faculty members were connected with it in any way. No special appropriations for any one school were requested, but an over-all appropriations to assist the five state system colleges in the immediate postwar expansion was urged.
