to commemorate lite active part Oregon henvs playeil in tlie Siunisli-Amrruuii nml Word: war. The building
will tower 180 rt liifili and will he AX) by 2lX) (ret. The buiMing materials used will be r u-li as to blend with
the present cammis architecture and yet be distinctive. The building will house all itudent an.! aluuiiii aaiviliu and
organizations. More tlun hall of the total $500,000 needed for construction it now raised.
The 0. A. C. Memorial union cam
paign to provide $50U,(XX1 needed to
construct a building which will le a
permanent memorial tit 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
collate are located. -
More than half of the sum needed
was raised on the campus in an in
tensive drive of a week. Inspired by
the record of O. A. C. and Ore ;on
heroes in the war, the undergraduates
and faculty of the college pledged
more than half of the total in tbr
days. President V. J. Kerr, who was
seriously ill at the time, sent in his
pledge of $l(X) on the second day of
the drive. Alumni in I'ortland i.ave
responded with more than $'5,000 an.l
the campaign is now reaching into the
mailer cities and communities of the
state.
The great Memorial union proiect
will seek to draw together the four
component parts of the college: stu
dents, alumni, faculty and friends. It
will be a great gathering plac for
college interests, 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 t'leir future
earning power tn help pay hark to
their alma mater part of the training
received, gave an impetus to the cam
paign that makes the total objr tive
assured, according to campaign lead
ers. One fcrshman student from Cali
fornia pledged $1000 to the cause and
many contributions of $J50 and more
were received.
More than $.'25,000 of the total is
now subscribed and construction on
the building will begin in the lute sum
mer of 1'J5 and will lie completed by
the fall term of lQJh. according to
present plans. Alumni are organised,
no only in Oregon but in Washing
ton. California, Hawaii, and many
eastern states wliere former students
are located.
The building will have moms for
student activities, faculty meetings,
assembly halls for large gatherings,
trophy rooms where athletic awards
of the Varsity "()" association may
heienr.nicntly kept, shop rooms for
the building of rampus dramatic pro
ductions and many other types of
rooms. All the student publications
will be housed in the new building
which will be a big advancement of
the old inadequate system pf publica
tion offices scattered over the entire
campus.
"The Memorial union building will
release much needed class room in the
buildings provided by the state," said
E. B. I-envm, 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 coot to
the state, which is an important fea
ture in Oregon's educational pro
gram," Of 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 well-appointed theater
where campus productions, lyceum
numbers and oilier forms of enter
tainmcnt may 1 given for the campus
fr in time to tine. pipe-organ will
be installed in the theater which will
adjoin an immense rotunda where stu
dent and alumni gatherings may be
arrangr!.
Since the ann. uuceinent that a class

being made to t.e up the activities of

601,317 Miles
and Not One Cent for Repairs
The real value of the 1925 Star is
proven by the service it gives its
owners in every day use.
Here's a case in point: Twenty-four
Star owners report that they drove
an aggregate of 601 ,3 1 7 miles with
out one cent cost for repairs.
Sounds unusual yet, based on the
report of 40,000 Stir owner on
the Pacific Coast, the average cost
of replacement parti average 63c
per car. That's what Star give you
in iow upkeep cost
And it does prove the truth of our
statement that no car in the low cove
field equals the 192S Star for day in
and day out mechanical perform
ance. And with all that, you drive the best
looking light car designed.

Cut Machinery Cost
In Half
The man who leaves his machines in the fields Is pay
Ing, by depreciation, for an Implement shed, but not
getting the she J.
You can cut your machinery cost in half by prolong
ing its life anq usefuflness. You can double the life of
an Implement by putting it under cover as soon as you
are through using it
The cost of ;an implement shed to protect $2,000.00
worth of machinery is only a fraction of that sum.
We have many excellent implement shed plans to show
you, and we have the right material to build just the
kind and size building you require. Da not make the
mistake ofbuiJding before you .examine our up-to-date
implement sh ed plans. ' we will be glad to have you call
and examine them, whether you are building now or
later.
