QtiUfin aj Meteo-bite Revealed
By DARRELL BOONE
In a conspicuous spot on the
campus is a full size plaster copy
of the fifth largest meteorite in
the world. 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.
