The senior class this year will start a fund to establish a memorial for the University of Oregon men who .have enlisted in the service or their country. If the plans made by the class memorial committee, consist ing of Ray Couch, chairman, Leura Jerard. and Lurline Brown, are ac cepted by the class. "There Is scarcely a doubt that the class will adopt this plan for their memorial to -the University," said Ray Couch yesterday. "We hope that within two or three years the fund will be large enough o make it pos sible to erect on the campus a fitting memorial, something really big, for the boys who have, gone from the University."
