OSC ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Clyda Willianton, Pratidenl Gaoria f- CkaaWn, Vica-Prealdant Matt Malhat. Tnimin Eunka CourtrljM. Attinj Maaaiar. With 8500 alumni serving in U. S. forces and a great portion of them overseas, every mail brings to the Alumni Office letters from these men and women who now yearn to be back in Oregon in their homes or on the campus with their friends. Every mail brings changes of address to be recorded on the individual cards of the 30,000 graduates and former students in the active file. War-time activity had doubled the detailed operations, likewise has doubled the amount of information it can give to the alumni body it serves through The Oregon Stater,’’ alumni publication. (( By action of the 1945 Legislature, the request of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education for four million dollars to provide much-needed campus buildings for the post-war period, has been referred to the voters of Oregon for final action in June of 1945. The Alumni association must share largely in the responsibility for making the needs of the college known to every voter before they go to the polls. (( During the wartime leave granted Warren Reid, alumni manager Eunice Courtright, editor and records clerk, is managing affairs of the association. Clyda Willi® ton Gaor»a F.

MEMORIAL UNION BOARD Erected in recognition of the great sacrifices of our soldier dead in World War I, the Memorial Union is the hub of student life and activity. (( To pass all rules and regulations governing members, guests and activities of the Union is the time-consuming duty of the Memorial Union Board, composed of four students, one faculty member,-one alumni member and the student activities manager. The 1944 45 directors were Kirt Skinner, president, Lorelei Stewart, Betty Lu Nixon, George Dewey, G. V. Copson, J. F. Porter and Percy Locey. Major E. C. Allworth is Union manager. (( The spacious lounge provides a pleasant atmosphere for students and ASTUs after rigorous hours in the classroom, and the Union’s many services and accommodations are in constant use. (( The display of the flags of all nations, placed in the main hall, adds a patriotic touch to the building, while three service flags of red, white and blue on either side of the vestibule, commemorating State College students who saw service in World War I and II, are a constant inspiration to passersby. Aiding in the war effort, the attractively finished dining hall provides dining space for ASTU students who live in the neighboring dormitories. (( Dances, teas, banquets and many other types of entertainment coordinated by the Memorial Union Board, make the Union a place of entertainment and relaxation as well as service. 16

Tomatsene, Secretary DAD’S CLUB The Oregon State Dad’s club presented Dr. Strand for the first time to the Oregon State alumni at a banquet given spring term in the hotel Multnomah, Portland. During Dr. Strand s junior” year as president of the college his policies have been ably and willingly supported by the Dad’s club. (( War-time schedules demanded a single day instead of the usual weekend for the Dad’s annual club meeting on the campus winter term. Real Beaver spirit was demonstrated for the dads at the Beaver-Duck basketball tangle which was part of the day’s program. Dads and daughters rally-danced after the game to climax the day’s activity. (( Organized in 1933, the Dad's club works to preserve the traditions of Oregon State and to keep the college properly before the public of Oregon. 18
