VOLUME LI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1930 NUMBER 98 ^Student Union Opening Delayed “Chances of opening the Student Union before school is out do not appear as bright as they did win ter term.’’ That was the view expressed .Friday by Dick Williams, director of the Student Union. Originally, the building was scheduled to open during the first part of spring term, but an un avoidable delay in receiving some necessary materials will delay its opening for at least two months. Williams said no attempt was being made to rush contractors to an early finish. “As long as the University ad ministration is responsible for get ting the right kind of job done on the Student Union, there 'will be no rushing contractors in order to meet a deadline,’’ Williams said. “This building is being built with student fees,” he added, “and the administration has a moral obliga tion to see that it becomes a credit to the University and the state.” Williams also emphasized the re a suits of opening a building before it is completed. He illustrated this by citing the University of Wash ington's Student Union which was opened “before the plaster was dry.” As a result, that institution will shortly have to put up more money for building repairs. If the building is ready by early summer, Williams said, summer session students will be able to use some of its facilities in order to “shake out the bugs” before fall term.
