A. C. campus to commemorate the active part Oregoa heroes played in the Spanish-American and World wars. The building will tower I KO feet high and will be AX) 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 student and alumni activities and organizations. More than lialf of the total $300,000 needed for construction is now raised. The O. A. C. Memorial union cam* paign to provide $500,0X1 needed to construct a building which will be a permanent memorial to the college and state heroes of the Spanisn- Amrrieau and World wars and to house all student and alumni activi ties on the (I. A. C. campus, has Ireea 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 by 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 $l(»<) on the second day of the drive Alumni in Portland liave responded with more than $25,(XX) and the campaign is now reaching into the smaller cities and communities of the state. The great Memorial union project will seek to draw together the four component parts of the college: stu dents. alumni, faculty and friends. It will be a great gathering place for college interests, a magnet to attract students and alumni in all walks of life and a melting |x>t to create a col lege democracy, say those in charge. Iziyalty of individual students and alumni, who mortgaged their future earning power to help pay hack to their alma mater jsart 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- feraia pledged $1000 to the cause and many contributions of $250 and more were received. M>re than $325,000 of the total is new subscribe'! and construction on the building will liegin in the late sum mer of 1925 and will be completed by the fall term of 1926, according to present plans. Alumni are organized, not only in Oregon but in Washing tow, California. Hawaii, and many eastern states where former students are located. The building will have rooms for student activities, faculty meetings, assembly halls for large gatherings, trophy rooms where athletic awards of the Varsity "O" association may be permanently kept, shop rooms for the building of campus dramatic pro ductions anti many other tvpes of rooms. All the indent publication will be housed in the new building which will be a big advancement of the old inadequate system of publica lion 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. Lemon, registrar. "College life is highly organized and many of the student groups require accommoda tions which are needed for instruc- tiosial purposes. The Memorial union building is being built without cost to the state, which is an important fea ture in Oreg rm'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 other forms of enter tainment may be given for the campus from time to time. A pipe-organ will lx- installed in the theater which will adjoin an immense rotunda where stu dent and alumni gatherings may be arranged. Since the announcement that a class II, StXKwatt broadcasting station will I k 1 installed at (). A. C., an effort is being made to tie up the activities of the Memorial union with this feature. The c< liege is host t<> many speakers of national repute and authorities on educational, scientific and economic subjects. In addition the Ivceum num bers bring artists of international fame to the campus. In the past few years such singers as Geraldine Far rar and Madame Schumann-Heink; Mischa Elman and Ema Rubinstein, violinists, and many others have been entertainers on the campus. The high- powered broadcasting station will make their artistry available to the en tire state. A massive entrance to the building will lead into the main lobby to be called "Memorial Hall.” Finest ex amples of art and sculpture will dec orate the hallway. Leaning back from it will be the rotunda, where alumni gatherings will often lie held and where from 500 to 800 persons may be served at special banquets and luncheons for which the college tea room is inadequate. A cafeteria for student' and faculty is another feature planned for the new building, which is expected to be ready for the use of the campus one year from next fall. NESS.
