Th-’ building materials used will he such as to blend with the prt cut campus architecture and vet he dist'active. The building will h* use all student nd alumni activities and organizaiions. More than half of the total $500,000 nee led for construction is now taised. 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 t.ite heroes of the Spanish- American and W orld wars and io house all student and alumni activi ties on the O. \. C. campus, has been completed among students and is inovin.r into different districts of the state where alumni and friends of the college are located. More than half of the sum needed was rai 1 on the campus in an in tensive drive of a week. Inspired by tbe 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 cam] ai 'Tl is now reaching into th 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 pot to create a col lege democracy, say those in charge. Loyalty of individual students and alumni, who mortgaged their future earning power to help pay bark to their alma m ater part of the training received, gave an impetus to the cam paign that makes the total objective assured, according to campaign lead- trs. One freshman student from Cali fornia pledged $1000 to the cause and many contributions of $250 and more were received. More than $325 000 of the total is now subscribed and construction on the building will begin in the late sum mer of 1925 and wiM he completed by the fall term of 192b. according to present plans. Alumni are organized, not only in Oregon hut in W ashing ton, California. Hawaii, and many eastern states where former students are located. 1'hc building will have rooms for tudent activities, faculty meetings, assembly halls for larv gatherings, trophy rooms where athletic a w ant' of the Varsity "O” association may he permanently kept, shop rn is for die building of campus dramatic pro ductions and many other types of rooms. All the student publication« will he housed in the new building which will he a big advancement of the old inadequate system of publica tion offices scattered over the entire campusf. "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 ©f the Indent groups require accommoda tions which are needed for instruc tional purposes. The Memorial union building is being built without c#st to the state, which is an important fea ture in Oregon’s educational pro gram.” O f much interest to students and faculty is the plan for the theater in the building, says the governing com mittee.

A Definition of M iddle A g e His Regular Job seated in the well-appointed theater where campus productions, lyceum numbers and other forms of enter tainment may he given for the campus from time to time. A pipe-organ will be 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 B, 500-watt broadcasting station will be installed at O. A. C., an effort is being made to tie up the activities of the Memorial union with this feature. The college is host to many speakers - f national repute and authorities < n •ducali nal, scientific and economic subjects. In addition the lyceum num hers bring artists of internati- nal n. • to the campus. In the past few vears such singers as Geraldine I ar- a r and Madame Schum ann-H eink; Mischlj Elman and Erna 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 mto the main lebby to he railed “Memorial Hall.” Finest ex amples of art and sculpture will dec orate the hallway. Leading hack from it will he the rotunda, w htre alumni gatherings will often be held and where from 500 to 800 persons may be served at special banquets and luncheons for which the college tea room is inadequate.
