Student Union Rejects
Organist Sponsorship
The Student Union Board voted
Wednesday to reject the proposal
of the Eugene Hammond Organ
society to co-sponsor the ap
pearance of Ethel Smith, organ
ist, in McArthur court.
The rejection was made on the
basis of the precedent such a
move would make and the pro
cedure involved in such action. It
was felt also that there was not
a sufficient, amount of interest
on the part of students to bring
such an attraction to the cam
pus.
The board said, however, that
it did not want to leave the im
pression that it was uninterest
ed in co-operating with Eugene
townspeople in bringing attrac
tions of general interest to the
campus.
Garry McMutry, chairman of
the SU coffee hour forum, was
interviewed by the board in the
interest of discussing problems
of his particular committee.
It was suggested that his com
mittee co-sponsor speakers which
are often brought to campus by
small groups. This would in
crease both the interest and at
tendance and would give better
facilities for the discussion.
