Student Union Drive Planned With University enrollment well above the 5,000 mark, plans are be ing formulated for the fall term Student Union drive, according to Wally Johnson, reappointed chair man of the Student Union commit tee. The Student Union building, Ore gon’s future campus center, was the main item on the agenda at the final student council meeting held spring term.

The Student Union building, as conceived over 20 years ago by Ore gon students, will be a hub for stu dent activities, including publica tions, ASUO offices, dances, a thea ter, and student meetings. Rushing Info Available Freshmen women interested in enteing open rushing are to apply as as soon as possible at the dean of women’s office, according to Billie John, president of panhellenic. Because most of the houses filled their quotas for the year during fall rush week, the amount of women in terested will have some bearing as to whether there will be an open i rush period this term. Unless a suf ficient number plan to go through, the date for the period to begin may be postponed somewhat. Qualifica tions for rushing have also changed this year.

Mr. Millican plans throughput the coming year to make a study of the entire advertising program on the west coast. He will issue a question poll to advertising pro fessors, practitioners, agents, and publications and cooperations.

THE BEST IN THE WEST WOOL BLANKETS 0 North Star 0 Pendleton £ Kenwood • Orr for BED PILLOWS Book Shortage To Ease Soon Text book shortages are still be ing acutely felt by students in many of the University’s departments in spite of an estimate by Co-op offi cials that 90 per cent of the text books required by the University this year have already been sold to students or are on stock at the Co-op. As soon as new shipments of texts arrive the instructors will be notified and will make the an nouncements in the respective class es. With the return of a record crop of students to the nation’s schools the publishers have been swamped by orders for texts, many of which were out of stock. To meet these demands the publishers have turned out mass printings, as many as 70, l? 000 copies of a single text, and in fnany instances the demand still ex ceeds the supply. Definite promises have been re ceived by the Co-op from publishers pledging early delivery of most back orders of texts and students can look forward to an easing in the text book shortage soon. The Educational Activities board will sponsor a weekly “movie night” this year on Wednesday evening. Aside from his regular duties, Bertram E. Jessup, assistant pro fessor of English and Aesthetics, has undertaken the teaching of In troductory Philosophy. Dr. Jessu\ will teach one section this term.
