Swell Building Total
Returns from Student Union
pledges during winter term regis
tration have added an estimated
$3600 -to the building fund, accord
ing to Wally Johnson, Student Un
ion chairman.
Over 1200 pledge cards were
Signed by University students, and
more are anticipated before regis
tration is completed. “It is hoped
that the same system will be used
next term and those who failed to
turn over pledge cards will have a
chance to do so during spring reg
istration,” stated Johnson.
The pledge cards automatically
give to the Student Union the bal
ance of each student’s general de
posit of $5, which is expected to to
tal more than $3 per card.
“The supccess of this drive in
raising $3600 at a cost of less than
$10 is due mainly to the wonderful
cooperation of J. O. Lindstrom,
University business manager, and
the Student Union committee con
sisting of Jim Luckey, Nancy Bed
ingfield, Gloria Grenfell, Vern
Flake, Nancy Peterson, and Bob
Aiken,” Wally Johnson said Tues
day.
The Student Union committee
met Tuesday to discuss future plans
and campaigns to raise funds for
the proposed building. Plans for fre
quent Friday night dances were dis
cussed. The location and the price
have not yet been decided upon.
Gerlinger hall, Johnson said, is the
likeliest location, but definite au
thority has not yet been secured.
Also proposed at the meeting; was
an all-campus bridge tournament
with the sun porch of Gerlinger as
the suggested place.
A drive is being organized for
Dads’ weekend in order to contact
as many of the University fathers
as possible. No definite plans have
been formulated as yet.
A structure will be erected in the
Co-op to enable the students to do
nate their Co-op receipts. This
booth will be built in the genera]
pattern of the proposed Student Un
ion building to give the students an
idea of its plan.
These plans and ideas exemplify
the social functions outlined for the
needed student building and are de
signed to keep the movement be
fore the campus.

Mr. Mike de Collie
Reads Health Mag
Some six months ago a Mr.
Mike de Callie at the Beta Theta
Pi house received an anonymous
gift subscription to the “Oregon
Health Review.” The publication
has been appearing regularly ever
since, always addressed to the
mysterious Mike de Callie.
No one is quite sure just who
the kind soul was who first took
pity on Mike’s aimless wander
ings around the campus, and de
cided to furnish him with suffi
cient reading matter to keep him
off the streets and out of the beer
halls.
But Mike, the Collie, the big
brown and white Beta mascot, has
just received the January issue,
and at last report was studying it
diligently.

Board Resignations Accepted;
Dean Hollis Retains Position
By BERNIE HAMMERBECK
Emerald Sports Editor
Reorganization of the University of Oregon’s athletic de
partment took definite form yesterday with an announcement
by President Harry K. Newburn which:
1. accepted the resignation of the eleven-year-old athletic
board:
2. gave assurance that a director of athletics and a foot
ball coach would be appointed in the very near future.
The official statement substantiated unconfirmed reports!
earlier this week that the athletic board had offered its resigna
tion at a special meeting last Monday night.
It is President Newburn’s desire that the position of di
rector of athletics can be filled shortly—“perhaps by next week.”
The director would then assist in choosing the new football
coach. The president expressed hope that the entire procedure
could be completed prior to the meeting of the state board of
higher education on January 27.
Cornell Not Interested
At present there are no definite candidates in line for the director
ship. Anse Cornell, athletic manager under the present organization,
has announced himself as not interested, and according to the president,
Cornell will remain under the new director as business manager.
The president’s letter accepting the resignation of the board praised
tire board on its achievements during its eleven-year existence, and ex
pressed his gratitude for fulfilling its task—“the outstanding achieve
ment represented in bringing the department from its sad financial
state in 1936 to ifs present healthy condition, during which time we were
operating a sound and sensible athletic program.”
Problems Increased
In submitting its resignation the athletic board stated that its “ob
jective had been accomplished, but in the meantime the University had
increased in size, and the problems had increased accordingly.”
The letter went on to say, “The athletic board came to the conclusion
that a more direct administrative procedure should be established which
would provide an official to have complete jurisdiction over the entire
athletic program of the University, and who would be directly respon
sible to the president of the University.”
Members Sign Letter
Faculty members signing the letter included Deans Virgil D. Ear),
James H. Gilbert, Orlando J. Hollis, and Ralph W. Leighton and assistant
to the president Earl M. Pallett, who also served in the capacity of board
chairman.
Alumni members were Lynn S. McCready, Eugene; Lawrence Hul),
Newport; and George Mimnaugh, Portland.
Student representatives were Tom Kay, Nick Weddle, and Gil
Roberts.
Ex-officio members who also signed the letter included Oregon A)

In Memoriam—A.B.
We hear that from a Johnson room
Those unconfirm-ed rumors bloom.
That underneath its stately roof,
No single wall is earful-proof.
But hear! Sport fates have now
been heard.
’Cause Harry’s home to spread the
word.
