The fee foi graduate students and one-cours( students will be $9.50, while in ^ structors and reghlarly appointee graduate assistants will pay $7.75, The student-body fee, heretofore $1S.75, was increased at the Iasi meeting of the Eoard of Regents tc '$20.00. It will include the student body fee, and the student body tick et will be incorporated in the re ceipt given the student at registra tion by the cashier. As has been the custom before, class and labora • tory fees will be paid later, during the third week of school", but the regular fee must be paid at the time of registration. March 26 Is Last Day Monday, March 26, is the first day of the spring term, but the Registrar’s and cashier’s offices will be open for the taking of fees and enrollment cards on Saturday, March 24. Saturday, the offices will be open in the mbrning from 8 to 12 o’clock, thus giving the student that morning and all day Monday to pay fees and register for the term. Extra windows will be opened, arranged alphabetically, to accom " modate the students, who will be re quired to register at the proper window. In order that the lines may be handled as rapidly as possible, E. P. Lyon, cashier in the comptroller’s office, urges students to have their checks or cash ready in the. proper amount., A special window will be provided graduates and graduate as sistants or one-course students pay ing less than the $20.00 registration fee. Congestion Relief Urged Mr. Lyon also urges that as many as ’possible complete their registra tion Saturday, so that the Monday congestion will be relieved. In the $1.25 increase, levied by •the regents, $1.00 will be added to the -physical education fee, which has been raised from $2.00 to $3.00. This increased fee includes free use of the tennis courts. The twenty five cent tax has been added to the lecture fee. The undergraduate re gistration fee entitles the student to membership in the Associated Stu dents, admission to all games, con ^ certs, and activities sponsored by the student body, and a subscription to the daily Emerald. This fee also gives the student free use of the gymnasium, swimming' .pools, lock ers, medical consultation, advice and treatment, and use of the library and reading rooms.

Netmen Prepare For Big Season Neer To Lead Webfoots Again This Year The Webfoot tennis squad is work ing out daily on McArthur court in preparation for conference tilts scheduled early in April. The first meet will be play ed in the south wijth California, April 4. Following tlio California match, the Oregonians will play Stanford and the Univer .> . April 5 (land 6. '.. Tentative dates Henry Neer with Washington and O. A. C. are being arranged. Oregon’s team will be well forti fied this year with lettermen. Henry Neer, number one man on the 1927 squad, will • be counted on to lead the team again this year. Other lettermen who are eligible for the team, are Clare Hartman, Dick Edge, Tom Cross, Bill Powell, and Mel Cohn. Howard Shaw, a transfer from San Diego Junior college, is expected to gain a position on the team, according to Edward F. Aber crombie, coach. Sherman Lockwood is maintaining a consistent grip on the top rung of the ladder tourney being held in McArthur court. Brad Harrison, Henry Neer and Clare Hartman are pushing ahead rapidly. The best match last week was between Oker berg and Hartman. Hartman, show ing greatly improved form, won 7-5, 9-7. The other matches proved that the varsity candidates are round ing out into mid-season form, and will, be in good shape for the south ern meets. This is the first time the Webfoots have been able to practice the year round, an advan tage which the California teams have always had. Student From Bessarabia Saw Her First Bananas and Gum in America By FLORENCE HURLEY Bessarabia, corner of Russia by the Black Sea, and bone of conten tion between the Soviet country and Rcumania—this was the scene oi the earlier childhood of Sonia Wild ennan, library assistant at the Uni versity of Oregon. Bananas and chewing gum arc two American luxuries that were strangers to Sonia »before she dis covered them in America. “It was on the train between Portland and New York that my brother a^id 1 first saw a man take out these queer sticks of candy;” Sonia re lates. “He ehew'ed and , chewed them, but never swallowed. Finally he gave me some, and immediately'— down it went.” Sonia has vivid recollections oi hqr first trip through Germany “Even then,” she narrates, “there was unrest, and the faint stirrings of war. But France—that is an other matter. Never have I seer (people so happy', so carefree, sc gav.” Sonia’s experience has been wide and varied. In spite of the handi cap of having to learn the Ameri can language, she finished grammar school in five and one-lialf years, and high school in three. After a year at Reed College she finished her college course with three years of work at Oregon State College, as a graduate of ’£3. From 1923 to 1927, she was secretary to the man ager of the Orpheum Theatre of1 Portland. For more than a year, Sonia lias worked in the University of Oregon library, and has gradually come up from student assistant to eight-hour a-day work, with a, prospect of a full-time position. Sonia’s final aspirations lead her to some business of her own, prob ably a bookshop or something where she can exercise her financial ex perience. In sc-hool she was an education1 major, but has*never taught. She; first come to the University of Ore- I gon because her people owned stock j in the College Side Inn, and for a while she worked there as assist- i ant manager, helping straighten out \ the difficulties. Part time, she was j correspondent for the Oregonian. If j varied experiences are any part of success, Sonia will probably have1 nc difficulty in the business world. | Sigma Kappa Granted to Local House Sigma Beta Phi Will Be Chapter of National In Spring Forty-two Co-eds To Be Charter Members Of Group Word was received yesterday from Harriet George, extension chairman of Sigma Kappa national .sorority, o-f the acceptance of the petition submitted recently by Sigma Beta Phi. The installation will probably take place early in the spring term. Sigma Kappa was founded in 1874 by the first five women to at tend Colby College in Waterville, Maine. At present there are .19 active chapters, including those at O. S. C., University of Washing ton, Washington State College, Stanford, University of California, and University of Southern Califor nia. Sigma, Kappa has always been conservative in extension, having at present a membership of only 3,000. Group Started in 1923 The badge is ah equilateral gold triangle supporting a raised triangle of maroon enamel bearing the Greek letters Sigma Kappa in gold. The pledge pin is of gold, a Greek letter, Kappa, with a serpent en twined through it in the form of a Greek Sigma. Sigma Beta Phi was incorporated May 22, 1923, with Marie Strube, Dorothy Cushman, Marian' Hayes, Leona Anawalt, Kpthryhi Ruther, ford, aiid Emily Houston as charter members. Mrs. Myrtle B. Kays was selected as housemother. For the year 1925-26 Sigma Beta Phi won the Panhollenic scholarship cup, being the only local to have its name inscribed on the trophy. Its average for that spring term was the highest achieved up to that time by a fraternity on this cam pus. Members Listed The active members and pledges who are to be installed are: sen iors, Grace Fleming, president, Mar garet Blackmer, Doris Lieuallen, Pauline Venable, Maurine Lombard, Marie Stube; juniors, .Miriam Shepard, Muriel Bell, Buth Jack son, Anne Roescli, Helen Tooze, Mary Burton, Verna May Linne berg, Kathryn Rutherford; sopho mores, Mildred Reynolds, Ruth Con rad, vLucile Larson, Margaretato rad, Lueile Larson, Margaret Ach terman, Olive Gray; freshmen, Maurine Akers,» Juanita Leafdalrl, Violet Grek, Me Fleming, Inez Harthrong, Depa Lieuallen, Lucille Burton.

The magazine, “Palms,” has as its pri mary purpose the idea of a larger scope for poetic expression. Students are urged by the maga zine to contribute original poems, cash prizes being offered for the best ones. , Undergraduates seeking informa tion in regard to the contests may ask for a copy of the mazagine at the library circulation desk. Craftsmen Will Meet At Club House Tonight The members of the Craftsmen ] club will meet at the club house, 850 East Fourteenth street, tonight at 7:30 o’clock for the purpose of ; nominating officers for next year. < It is very essential that all mem- ; bers be present. There will be a 1 short program following the meet ing. , , The Craftsmen are planning an in- w formal dance to be given at the j i first of next term. The degree team ! is going to make a trip to Yoncalla, t Oregon, about March 30. it Today9s Datv Rare; One in Four Years; No League Tea Today Today is the day which rolls around only about, once ever so often—every four years, to be ex act. Take another look at your little desk calendar if you don't believe it. Today is February 29. Those whose birthdays arrive but once every four years should cele brate four’ times vs much. What great man was it that said “things coming seldom should be enjoyed more”? Must have been Abraham Lincoln or Confucius. Also this happens to be the fifth Wednesday in the month of Febru ary and no Woman’s League tea will be held until the regular first Wednesday in the mouth. Dormitory Not To Affect Pledging Building Will House About Half of Outside Men Rumors that freshmen could not be pledged by fraternities after the new dormitory is completed, are en tirely groundless, it is stated by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of tli e University. Should the Univer sity decide to carry on an extensive building program that would involve the fraternity situation, a notice of two or more years would be given. This would allow fraternities to make adjustments, so they could manage their houses on a three-year instead 'of a four-year program. The new dormitory will care for less than half of the men students now living in rooming houses outside of fraternities or their own homes, it is stated. Men invited to frater nities will be allowed to enter them in their first year as usual. The question of sophomore pledg ing, rather than freshmen, has been occupying^ the attention of educators throughout the country, and many believe that it is better for men to live their first year in a dormi tory. Foulkes Supervises Makeup of Emerald Make'up on today’s Emerald is the creation of David Foulkos, mechanical superintendent of the Gregonian. For this issue lie has shortened some of the headlines and has in stituted several changes in what is known in newspaper circles as ‘standing heads,” heads that do not change from one day to an rther. Last night he assisted the ■egular night editor^ in making up the paper, and in that capacity was rt the University Press, where the Emerald is printed, until about 2 r. m., when the paper went to press. Some of the changes in today’s paper will probably become perma nent, Recording to Bob Galloway, nanaging editor. Today he will be entertained at unelieon by Sigma Delta CJii, pro fessional journalism fralt nity. IVillianr M. Tugman, managing edi ;or of the .Eugene Guard, will also re a guest. Girls Urged To Sign For Favorite Sports The spring sports program in the physical education department has )een announced and, as classes are imited, girls who have a prefer mce are urged to sign up as soon is possible. The list of sports tvailable and the respective hours vill be posted today on the bulle tin board in the locker room of the vomen’s gymnasium. An effort has been made to select lours that have been popular in irevious years. Swimming, dancing, ind riding classes will be held both norning atid afternoon, while canoe ng, golf, and tennis are available inly in the morning. Life saving, • lockey, and archery classes will neet in the afternoon.

These lectures will be open to all tudents of the University who wish : o attend them. Three Plans Up to Change Open House Campus Opinion Strong For Two-Niglit Revision Congestion Under Old Plan ]\lay Cause Revamp Of Tradition By ETITA JEANNE CLABK The advisability of combining the present policy of the annual open house has troubled the campus since fall term when tha last open house was held. The campus in its present rate of expansion has seemingly outgrown the “one night” open house which has become a tradition on the cam pus, and three plans have been of fered to the inter-fraternity council as solutions to relievo the conges tion which has resulted the past few times the event has been held. Two-niglit Plan Suggested Of the three plans submitted the frist seems to have been thought most advisable by the majority of those interviewed on the subject. This plan is to hold the open house two nights instead of one, divide the campus into halves and have half the men’s houses call on half the women’s houses. This would result in starting the dances )at about eight o’clock and ending them much earlier than has been the cus tom in the past. The other two plans are those o,f combining several houses in a group and holding the dance for one night, as was formerly done, and of zoning all the houses and making a more efficient schedule than has formerly been employed. This would be ac complished by moving the Tri-Delts, the Alpha O’s, the Delta Zetas, the Alpha Phis and the Gamma Phi Betas to more centrally located houses for the evening. Dean Favors Simplification Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dear of women, says: “I am very much in favor of some plan which will simplify the existing procedure, shorten hours, and lessen fatigue. There are, however, University plans and projects which must be consid ered with the consideration of any change. Freshman week should bo left free for the activities of the University • in connection with the entering freshman class. Church night, which occurs on the second Friday of every fall term, is a very old and very valuable institution and is closed to every other social activity.” Don Beelar, president of the as sociated students, stated: “Tho ques tion of whether open house should be abolished is not one for individ uals to decide upon but, is a matter which must bo left to tho groups as a whole. The sororities and fra ternities being tho most involved, should be the ones to declare tho policy which is to bo followed fall term.” Esther Hardy, president of the Women’s League: “Something should be done to relieve the situa tion whic' arose last year, with the ircreased registration in tho stu dent body, and unless some satisfac tory plan should bo found which does this I am inclined to believe that open house should bo done away with.” Tradition Doesn’t Fit Frances Cherry, senior woman on tho student council: “The open licuso tradition must be revamped to meet conditions on a growing campus. In its present form it doesn’t fit. The various ways that have been suggested for eliminating spen house boredom are good. How ever, I am inclined to believe that the proposed zoning system is the best. I am not in favor of devoting two nights to it, nor of abolishing it entirely.” Don McCook, president of the lenior class: *‘I feel that tho annual 'pen house has become a strained ind rushed proceeding which is more )r less looked forward to in dread ly those who have been through it oefore. I believe that it should be nore informal and less compulsory . . . put more on a basis’of ‘go f you wish to.’ Two nights are :oo much. Have it one night and ?et it over with, but make it a itudent body co-operative affair and less of a sorority and fraternity me.” Underclassmen Benefit Ruth Street, advertising manager if the Emerald: “It can’t continue is it has in the past. Underclass nen are the only ones who derive my benefit from it. I do consider ' (Continued on page three) I Zoologists Turn Tea Hounds as Spring W eather Approaehes In tlio spring a young man's fancy liglitlv turns to thoughts of —TEA! ’ Nearly every afternoon at. 4 all the voung zoology instructors ami their men assistants gather in one of the rooms in Deadv to partici pate in their favorite sport of sip ping that good old English bever age. The tea has the distinction of be ing the only variety of its kind on the campus to bo made in' a glass beaker over a bunsen burner. To add to its •appotizinguess tho zoolo gists serve it in dainty glasses and pass wafers around for good meas ure. Any time you feet that curious gnawing sensation right after a d o’clock dash right over to Heady, look into some of the rooms with your nicest smile, and maybe you will be rewarded with a cup of the steaming liquid and be '.initiated into the Koval Order of Tea Hounds! Club Installation To Be Saturday French National Initiation Precedes Banquet 55eta eliaptor of PL Delta Phi, na tional French honorary, will bo in stalled on tho University of Oregon campus Saturday, March 3, at. 3 o’clock in Alumni hall, of the Wo man’s building. Miss Stella Kast,lemon, instructor in the French department and mem ber of Pi Delta Phi of tho Univer sity of California, will conduct the initiation and preside ns master of ceremonies. Leavitt Wright, asso ciate professor of Romance lan guages, and a'speeial member of tho society, will resist Miss Ifastleman. The ceremony will be followed by a banquet at tho Anchorage in honor of the initiates. Dean George Rebec, of the graduato school and Dr. Ray P. Bowman, head of tho romance language department, will speak.

Oregon Sport ^Writers Pick All Star Team Northwest Conference Mythical Hoop Five Is Selected Ridings, Milligan Chosen; Two Washington Men On First Team Northern Division All-Star Team First Team— Killings (Oregon), forward. Snider (Washington), forward. Kain (Montana), center. Milligan (Oregon), guard. ■Tames (Washington), guard. Second Team— Burr (Oregon Aggies’), forward. Overturf (Mo'ntana), forward. Burgher (Idaho), center. Dalquist (Washington), guard. Bercnsen (Washington), guard. By JOB PIGNEY An all-northwest basketball team selected by the Oregon professional sports writers’ association members who are on the campus is declared, by the members of the association, of course, to be the most authentic, and reliable of any myhtical live concocted this season. Sam Wilder mnn, Richard L. Godfrey, Richard H. Syring, and Arden X. Pangborn are included among those respon sible for the choice. Hours of deliberation and ballot casting were required before un biased results could be obtained. Most of the Oregon correspondents thought that a selection of five of Billy Reinhart’s boys would J*o just about right. . Rather than appear prejudiced, they decided to bo con tent with two. Ridings at Forward Gordon Ridings, loading scorer and most consistent defensive play er in . the conference, was chosen unanimously at forward. Ridings has been picked by several promi nent sport writers in tho North west. for guard. Owing to Ridings’ ability to bring in points and in order to make room for other de fensive stars, tho Oregon writers placed him at forward. This was his regular position in the starting lineup practically all season. Monte Snider, running mate for Ridings, was one of tho main rea sons for Washington’s basketball supremacy this year. Snider' was the keynote of tho Husky attack and a continual scoring threat. When Oregon stopped Snider in tho Seattle game, tho Washington of fense was slowed to such an extent that tho Webfooters won by a two point margin. Kain picked for Center There was not much hesitation in thq selection of Kain, Grizzly star, for center. The Montana aco was the best jumper in tho league, anil his easo in getting the tip-off ac counted for many of tho Grizzly scores. Kain, although not a great scorer, played well on tho defense, and was one of tho brainiest per formers in tho conference. Scott Milligan, Oregon, and Alfio (Continued on page two) John Anderson, Easterner, Holds Eight Western Swimming Records Holding six: Pacific coast and two Pacific Northwest swimming records, John Anderson is undoubt edly the best aquatic star that has worn Oregon’s colors in many years. Tho story of Johnny’s suc cess in the crystal pool is not one of sudden rise >to fame, but of able levelopment of in herent ability. At ° t toon, Anderson* held all state ti- J. Anderson ties in Connecticut for distances up to two miles. Later, in the Mer-j ierburg Academy in Pennsylvania, j ic was a member of the medley team which set a world’s interscholastic : record of .'1:24.1 for the 300 yard svent. Since coming to Oregon he has ' leveloped even faster, more perfect itvle than before, and how holds ; he following records: Pacific Coast arsity records in 50 yard free-stylo, j ong course at 25.1; 40 yards short eurse, free style in 19.1; 150 yard )&ck stroke, short course in 1:40.5; Pacific coast freshmen records made last year in the 40 and 1(H> yard free stylo swims and the 100 yard backstroke. Pacific Northwest rec ords in the 00 and 100 yard back stroke events. While at Mercersburg Academy, Anderson swam for the team which won the National Scholastic Prep School title, under the coaching of John Miller, now chairman of the interscholastic rules c o m m i 11 o e. Johnny also played one year of bas ketball, two years of ice hookey and two years of cricket at tho Pennsylvania school. Itc was vice president of the student body, sen ior class representative on the ath letic council, and secretary of tho junior class at various times during ljis prep school career. Anderson is a sophomore in pre medics, twenty-one years of age and a member of 'the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, lie is six feet tall and weighs about 170 pounds. John is swimming his first year on tho var sity and will bo seen in action against the Beaver mermen next Saturday in the 40, 220 and 100-vard events. In the two full years of varsity competition yet to come, Johnny Anderson should develop into the outstanding college swim uer on the Pacific coast.
