Morse Donates
Expense Check
For S.U. Fund
The student union fund was $200
richer Monday, thanks to U. S.
Senator Wayne L. Morse. Morse,
who spoke here in January, turned
over the University’s check for his
expenses to the building fund.
In a letter to Dr. Dan E. Clark,
chairman of the assembly commit
tee, the Oregon senator, a former
dean of the law school, said:
“It is a great pleasure for me
to make this donation to the Erb
Memorial Union not only out of
memory to Dr. Donald M. Erb, but
also because I think a Student Un
ion building program as contem
plated at the University of Oregon
will do much toward coordinating
the many activities on the campus
and serve as a great unifier of stu
dent spirit and activity.”
While on the campus, Dean
Morse took an active personal in
terest in student affairs, serving
as chairman of the judiciary com
mittee as well as holding other po
sitions.

"What’s in a name,” wrote Shakespeare. A name may mean
a lot to pretty Lloyde Hough, English major at the University.
Lloyde, who is viying for the title of "Little Colonel,” may
find her name significant when the winner is announced at
the Military Ball, Saturday night.
As a child, she was an avid»reader of the “Little Colonel”
series. There the resemblance ends, for the name of the fic

Yankee, hailing originally from the
State of Washington, this slight,
dark-eyed coed is a sharp contrast
from the blonde granddaughter of
the Kentucky colonel.
Feted as Portland Rose Festi
val Queen in 1946, Lloyde rode on
the blue-ribbon Portland float in
the Pasadena Tournament of Roses
parade last January. She enjoyed
the Rose Bowl game afterwards,

January to make a better showing
than did USC.
Captain of Company A, which
she termed “A-l”, Lloyde will be
presented to her troops Thursday
