Oli ver's new book "Why War Came in Korea," the New York Times Sunday noted "a certain lack of balance in an otherwise valuable and concise report." Oliver, head of the department of speech at the College, became acquainted with Korea through his position as manager of the Korean Pacific Press, "generally accepted as the voice of Syngman Rhee," according to the Times. He has also been public relations adviser to Rhee, the president of the Korean Republic. The Times critic found the book valuable mainly for interpre tative rather than historical Ma terial. He calls Oliver "an un biased Rhee partisan," with little patience for the opposition. Summirig up, the reviewer says, "Mr. Oliver writes well and eas ily, and is thoroughly at home with his subject. Reflecting, as he apparently does, Dr. Rhee's opin ions, Mr. Oliver has made an im portant contribution to under standing five significant years of Korea's long and troubled his tory." "Why War Came in Korea" is one of three new books by Oliver. The other two are speech texts, "Persuasive Speaking" and a third revision of "The New Train ing for Effective Speech."

The board's action over the weekend came as somewhat of an anti-climax, for it had been taken for granted that the long sought SU building would finally be realized when all-College cab inet approved a student assess ment last May. The trustees had approved rough sketches ,at their June 9 meeting. Agitation for a student union began 13 years ago .with the edi tors of Collegian acting as the ring -leaders, according to George Donovan, manager of associated student activities and student union. The next move in the campaign icame in 1939 when 89 per cent of 800 students ques tioned favored an SU and 84 per cent were willing to pay for it. In 1939, too, Donovan, started the "S.S. Dry Dock" in the base ment of Old Main. The "iDry Dock" was set up as, a night club and a fifty cents cover charge guaranteed a couple a table and a floor show of professional cali ber. . Student agitation for an SU building reached its peak in 1946 when 2700 signatures were col lected on a petition agreeing to add $5 to student fees in order to construct and maintain an SU. Shortly after, the trustees ac cepted a report recommending the $5 fee and voted "to continue to study the problem further." In April, 1947, students voted 10-1 in favor of financing the SU rather than a field house. The following month the trustees re ceived a letter from the all-Col lege president urging a fee to fi nance the building. Two months later the trustees named a com mittee to study the matter, with Samuel K. Hostetter as chairman. Aided by a.20-man student group, Hostetter went to work in out lining the needs of the building. February, 1948, saw the erec tion of the TUB—the Temporary Union Building—a surplus army building, as a center for student David Long, Clark Young, Barry Anthony, James Jubelirer, John Maurey, Charles Wood, Edgar Fehnel, Richard Brewer, Hay Le- Van, Charles Krewson, Richard Humes, James Ellis, Lawrence Ecklund, and George Glass.

In February of 1950, upon the suggestion of the trustees, the SU committee began paring down the plans to a $2,000,000 "first unit." The first means toward financing the project was taken in April when all-College cabinet ap proved an insurance plan' 'by which subscribers would assign the first $lOO of benefits to the SU building fund. May, 1950, saw all-College cab inet take the final step to assure the financing of - the building by approving a student assessment which provided that undergradu ates pay $7.50 per semester for the current school year, and $lO per semester thereafter until the project is paid for.
