    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. At that time, it was
announced, the major issue of $600,
000 would be contingent on a rec
ord enrollment of 5,000 at the Uni
versity this fall. The Student Union
fund totaled $104,000 at the time of
that meeting.
Student interest in the project
was proved last May when $10,000
in breakage fees were donated to
the proposed building in the three
days of school under a plan initiat
ed by Wally Johnson and campus
leaders.
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. This information may be
obtained when applying.
Paul Marcotte, senior in English,

Professor Wins
Research Grant
Roy S. Millican, assistant profes
sor of business administration and
journalism, received yesterday a
research grant of $100 from the
American Association of Advertis
ing Agencies for detailed study in
the process of advertising.
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 results will show whether or
not American colleges are giving
courses best suited tc the needs of
the average individual. The poll re
sults will also determine what
changes need to be made in adver
tising education.
Mr. Millican's radio advertising
class, which has been newly added
to the fall semester, is now con
cerned with working out original
ideas which would sell to the aver
age consumer. Lecture in television
techniques are also included.

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.
