SU Celebrates
Years of Service
By Sally Jo Quinn
Emerald Feature Writer
“My goodness,” said the fresh
man, “are you really four years
old this year? You are a very
modern looking building, but
everyone is so familiar with you
I thought you would be much
older.”
“Yes, I am only four, but I
have served Oregon students in
many ways during these four
short years,” said the Student
Union. “Nearly every student
comes to me to meet friends for
a cup of coffee or to study be
tween classes. I’m the very cen
ter of campus activities.”
“Tell me, how were you
started?”
“Although I was officially
open Sept. 27, 1950, more -.than
27 years of fund raising and
planning were in back of that
opening. The actual construc
tion was begun in 1948 and fin
ished in 1950.”
“Why are you called the Erb
Memorial Student Union?” the
freshman questioned.
“I was named after Donald M.
Erb, president of the University
from 1938 until his death in
1943,” replied the two-million
dollar structure.
“Who is responsible for all the
activies centered in the Student
Union?”
“A student board controls sev
eral committees which arrange
lectures, art exhibits, coffee hour
forums and other educational
programs. They also sponsor
Sunday movies, the Friday at
Fours and other social activities.”
“Ah, the romances that have
started as coke dates in my fish
bowl,” he chuckled reminiscent
ly. “By my chimes! It’s four
o’clock. Time for students to
drift in from their three o’clock
classes for that afternoon cup
of coffee. Go on down to the fish
bowl and join them.”
Lecture Attacks
Utopian Ideals
When an Utopian ideal is trans
lated in terms of reality, it be
comes frightful, John C. Mc
Closkey, associate professor of
English, told the browsing room
audience Wednesday evening.
Both Edward Bellamy, in
“Looking Backward. 2000 to
1887” and William Dean Howells
in “A Traveler From Altruria"
and “Through the Eye of a
Needle” show how an ideal pro
gresses into a self-righteous ty
ranny, McCloskey said.
“The keys of Bellamy's 'Look
ing Backward' are military or
ganization, discipline, obedience
and one mind directing all,” de
clared McCloskey.
It is an “ideal state," McClos
key said. “There are no labor
unions, hunger, politicians, law
yers, crime, greed, profit mo
tives, poverty, journalists or any
of the other evils of life.”
“It is man's dream of liberty,
equality and fraternity real
ized,” McCloskey said.
“However, Bellamy didn't real
ize that he made everybody a
slave of the state. There was no
divirgence of opinion from the
official creed. The state was per
fect and no deviation was al
lowed. Bellamy sacrificed the i
ideals of democracy on the alter :
of socialism.”
Altruria is a land where there
is no war, patriotism, greed, or
envy. Everybody is equal, except
that the artists are the ruling
class, McCloskey said.
“All phases of life are regu
lated and it is intolerably dull,”
McCloskey said.
Former Cowboy
Elected in Nevada
RENO-f AP)-Rex Bell, former
movie cowboy and husband of
one-time "It Girl” Clara Bow.
was elected Nevada’s Lieutenant
governor Tuesday.
Bell, a Republican, defeated j
Democrat James J. Ryan, presi
dent of the Nevada state federa
tion of labor.
Returns from 330 of Nevada’s
385 precincts gave Bell 24,000
to Ryan’s 16,000.
Ryan repeatedly asserted in
his campaign “Bell’s only quali
fication- for office is his ability
to grin on TV.”
Bell operates a western goods
store in Las Vegas.

toriety when federal officials
