Because of a row between Mayor Johpson and the new city council, Ashland has no city attorney and no police judge, while the chief of police and street commissioners are holding their jobs only because no successors have been named.

The accompanying cut illustrates the massive size of the proposed budding to be on the O. A. C. ctf»pus to commemorate the active part Orcr n heroes played in the Spanish-American and World wars. The bwiMr / will tower 180 feet high and will be 2 ) by 200 feet. The building materials used will be such as to blend with the present campus architecture and vet be distinctive. The building will house all ttudent and alumni activities and -organizations. More than half—of the total $500,000 needed for construction is now raised. The O. A. C. Memorial union cam paign to provide $500,000 needed to construct a building which will be a permanent memorial to the college and state heroes of the Spanish American and World wars and to house all student and alumni activi ties on the O. A. C. campus, has been completed among students and is moving into different districts of the state where alumni and friends of the college are located. More than half of the sum needed was raised on the campus in an in tensive drive of a week. Inspired fey the record of O. A. C. and Oregon heroes in the war, the undergraduates and faculty of the college pledged more than half of the total in three days. President W. J. Kerr, who was seriously ill at the time, sent in his pledge of $1000 on the second day of the drive. Alumni in Portland have responded with more than $25,000 and the campaign is now reaching into the smaller citie» and communities of the state. ‘The great Memorial unioh project will seek to draw together the four component parts of the college: »tu-. dents, alumni, faculty and friendr. It will be a great gathering place for college interest», a magnet to attract students and alumni in all walks of life and a melting pot to create a col lege democracy, say those in charge Loyalty of individual students and alumni, who mortgaged their future earmtig power to help pay back to their alma mater part of the training received, gave an impetus to the cam paign that makes the total objective assured, according to campaign lead ers. One freshman student from Cali- .'ornia pledged $1000 to the cause and -.any contributions qf $250 and more vere received. More than $325,000 of the total is tow subscribed and construction on he building will begin in the late sum er of 1925 and will be completed b; he fall term of 1926, according t< nresent plans. Alumni are orgamze'1 not only in Oregon but in Washing ion. California, Hawaii, and man- •astern states where former student tre located. The building will have Tooms for student activities, faculty meetings tssembly halls for large gatherings trophy rooms where athletic award if the Varsity “O” association ma- be permanently kept, shop rooms fo_ he building of campus dramatic pro ductions and many other types of rooms. All the student publication*- will lie housed in the new building which will be a big advancement of *he old inadequate system of publica iion offices scattered over the entire campur.. “1 he Memorial union buildinj 1g will release much needed class room in the buildings provided by the state,’’ said E. B. Lemon, registrar. “College life is highly organized and many of the student groups require accommoda tions which are needed for instruc tional purposes. The Memorial union building is being built without cost to the state, which is an important fea ture in Oregon’s educational pro- 04 much interest to students and faculty is the plan for the theater in the building, says the governing com mittee. One thousand persons will be seated in the wcll-0PP°inted theater where campus production», lycfum numbers and other forms of enter- tainmenf may fee given for the campus from time to time. A pipe-organ will be installed in. X^e theater which will idjoin an immfepse mtùnda where Itu- lent and alûmni gathering» may be irranged. Since the announcement that a das« 1, 500-watt broadcasting station wi’l e installed St O. A. C., an effort is being made to tie up the activities of he Memorial union with this feature. !'he college is host to many speakers >f national repute and authorities on durational, scientific and economic objects.. In addition the lyceum num- er» bring artists of international ime to the campus. In the past few ears such singers as Geraldine Far- ar and Madame Schumann-Heiak : discha Elman and Erna Rubinstem, violinists, and many others have been 'ntertainers on the campus. The high- ov ered broadcasting, station will ake their artistry available to the en- re state. . ’ r A massive entrance to the buffdhlg »• ¡11 lead into the main lobby to Be ailed "Memorial.
