The Black Panthers marched there, Bill Clinton spoke there, the Red Hot Chili Peppers
performed there and part of Animal House was filmed there; the UO Erb Memorial
Union has a long, star-studded and sometimes controversial history. That history has
been captured by UO grad Jonna Threlkeld in the documentary Meet Me at the S.U.:
A History of the Erb Memorial Union, which premieres in the EMU Ballroom 6 pm
Thursday, June 6 (free). Get to the Fishbowl at 5 pm for five-cent ice cream cones
