Day Editor Thin Issue— William Schulze Assistant Day Editor—Clarence Craw Warren Tinker Night Editor Thin Issue— Rex 'fussing Assistant Night Editor—Mil Prudhomme FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1928 The Name but Not the Benefits TJVRATEltNITIES and sororities -I- owning their own homes or planning to do so have a real inter est in the suit filed Tuesday by Kappa Gamma Rho fraternity, of Willamette University, seeking an in,function to prevent the Marion county authorities from levying taxes on the fraternity’s property. Contributions of $25 oath froni Uni versity of Oregon living organiza tions have helped to swell the fund with which the Willamette frater nity is fighting the test ease. Cor vallis groups have promised support. The claim for exemption is made on the grounds of the fraternity being a non-profit corporation under the laws of Oregon. As such,,it is contended that fraternities belong in the same classification ns church es, lodges, colleges and the like. The college fraternity, some crit ics to the contrary, iH a valuable social organization, especially at in stitutions which are unable lo pro viso adequate housing facilities for the large numbers of students seek ing the benefits of higher educa tion. The fraternity gives the ad vantages of closer fellowship and cultural backgrounds to many stu dents who would otherwise be forced to resort lo staying in private homes where the money to be had by rent ing the spare room is the chief ob ject in (lie mind of the householder. It is unfair that students who thus band themselves together for mu tual welfare should be penalized with payments of taxes while their fellows in the state-owned dormi tories escape the additional burden. To list a college fraternity as other than a non-profit corporation is a travesty of the truth. A mali nger who was able to collect more money than was needed to pay the bills owed bv his organization would lit' hailed as a financial genius were lie permitted to make his escape to the outer world. Were the suit to bo settled because of knowledge based on experience with fraternal affairs rather than by consultation of the (lusty tomes of the law, there would be no doubt as to what the decision would be. The fraternities are made to file articles of incorporation as non profit corporations at the time of their organization. It is but just that they bo accorded all the privi leges of the classification. wish to publicly thank the j 7 ” editor for allowing us the plea sure of giving him the day off. Jt is a joy and a delight to be per mitted to sit at a typewriter and appear intelligent on a day like this. The question which is most trouble some is not how to appear intelli gent, however, but how to keep the S leader in the dark as to the true mental state of the writer. But this is an editorial. An edi torial must support something, or oppose something. Very well, we are supporters. Of what? Who cares? However, and, if, but, on the other hand .... patience, Gentle Reader, what is that cloud of dust yonder? Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. Are those hoof bents? Yes. Then there must be a horse, somewhere. Put the dust and the hoof-beats together and you have not only a horse but an approaching quadruped. But what does that signify. Ah, we were waiting for that. On the back of yon approaching hoof beater is an idea for this editorial. But it is nearly time to go lo press. Will Idea got here in time? lie’ll have to hurry .... Whoa! Say, what’s the idea. You’re late. We thought you weren’t coming. Say, Editor, if you think an idea of my caliber is going lo get into THAT editorial, you’re all wet. But what shall wo do? What will our public say? They will probably say, “What’s the big idea'?” But there isn’t any. That’s the idea. Bet’s go swimming. That BS an idea. Is Hatched The Biff Idea L. It. (»rn<l Work in Portland Planned I5y Powers Donn Alfred Powers, extension Division, is now working on the eonrses for next year's Portland t'l liter session. .New eonrses are lieir.g milled and the other eonrses are being arranged in a more efficient n inner. ■Among the more interesting courses that are being added there is to be an ensemble course for large groups of prospective sympho nic students under the direction of Mr. Wilhelm Van lloogstratcu, con ductor of the Portland Symphony orchestra, lie is also conducting a n.oro specialized class for conduct ing.

Dean Powers Expects Large Slimmer Group Over 2300 written requests linve I'miie in regarding ttie summer ses sinn, aeeording to Dean Alfred Powers, extension division, besides I lie hundreds of personal inquiries at the Portland extension renter and the Portlund library. Students who have advised the summer session that they are defi nitely coining, are coining from Ne braska, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, West Virginia, and California. The work in education is attract ing the largest group although a great number are coming because of the courses offered in English, his tory, the sciences, and physical edu cation. Indications point to the largest enrollment in the library courses in the history of the summer session. This course attracts librarians from all over the Northwest. The Summer session will bo from June IS to July 27, and l'r. Dan E. Clark will be in administrative charge on the campus. Dean Alfred Powers will hold the same position in Portland. Registration will be conducted at Johnson hall on the campus and at the l’ortlurul office in Portland.

The courses for this session are I ing arranged so as to accord o sequence to the regular session. GRETCHEN HAS DECIDED NOW THAT MOST OF US ARE SUFFERING FROM SINUS TROUBLE.

FRANKLY, WE HATE TO SEE TO-KOLO GET KICKED OFF THE CAMPUS. Our roommate belonged to it, for one thing, and then there are so many othor organizations so much more worthless — the Seven Seers, for instance.

Richmond, Va. i Gentlemen: I I sure get some riled when I see where some fellow is crowing over the fact that being older, and having run into Edgeworth sooner than his less fortunate compatriots, lie challenges the world as the champion long-time member of the Edgeworth Club. He doesn’t deserve any medals. He got his reward in the enjoyment of his smoking for the added number of years. He was just lucky in starting sooner, that's all. However, if you care to delve into ancient history, look up when they first started to pull down the old Grand Central Station in New York,* then add at least six months to that, and you will arrive at the approximate! time when 1 first joined the club. I have smoked at least one pipeful of every other tobacco I have seen advertised, sometimes through neees j sity. hut most of the time to prove to myself that 1 have been right in stick ing to the old blue tin. Yours truly, 11. M. Wittridge ‘April, 1907 Edgeworth Extra High Grade Stn o k i n" Tobacco Artists Praise Student Exhibit Visitors Observe Work of All Departments The exhibit of student and fac ulty work of the school of archi tecture and allied arts, which was placed on display for Visitors’ day, May 24, received a great deal of favorable comment from the visiting artists and architects, who criti cized the work of the school. Emil Jacques, instructor in art at Columbia University, Portland; Harlan Thomas, dean of the archi tecture department of the Univer sity of Washington; Armond Bean, supervising architect in charge of the construction of the new men’s dormitory on the campus; Harold Doty, Portland architect; and Mrs. H. C. Wortman and Mr. Wade Pipes cf Portland, are among those who visited the campus yesterday. One of the most colorful prob lems in the exhibit of the interior design department was the plan of a Russian Peasant tea rootn, by Hope Crouch, senior in the arts school. The detail was richly and vividly carried out against a back ground in which blue-gray predom inated. In the same exhibit, a drawing of the staircase leading to Alumni hall in the Woman’s building, was gracefully and clearly executed. Two studies of nooks in Alumni hall were very realistic. Among the more modern problems were two plans of a physician’s reception room, one by Mildred Vaughan, and the other by Grace Coey, both' sen ior art majors. Some interesting wall paper designs were also shown. It could be seen that the design problems traced a general history from ancient to modern. Many of the oiiginal problems had been inspired by old designs, and showed the pre vailing influence of the old over the new. From the painting department were drawings and paintings of the life classes. “'The death of the poet,” a study in black and white, received favorable criticism frtmi Emil Jacques. The plan of a college campus, a co-educational college of the lib eral arts and sciences for eight hun dred students, appeared among the architectural drawings. It was done by Raymond Thompson, graduate student in architecture. Oke of the most elaborate in this section was the plan of the “DeLuxe Hostelry | Extravaganza,” designed especially for political business and social gatherings, by William A. Johnson, | sophomore architecture major. “A museum for a Tapestry and Textile Plant” by Lau Fook, Tai showed a decided oriental influence. A full figure study in life by Mrs. E. T. Ilodgo, graduate student in sculpture, was included in the exhibition from that department. Studies in costume design, woven j scarfs and table runners, books ; bound in the book-binding class, vases and bowls made in the pottery classes, decorated boxes, purses, and lamp shades were some of the arti cles exhibited by the industrial .arts department. NOW Playing it’8 Coo! at The McDonald ‘Alice In Wonderland’ To Be Given Saturday “Alice in Wonderland,” a play by Lewis Carrol, will be given at a Freshman Gambol Saturday after noon at Guild theater. Students of the first year drama class Will take fart in the vivid play which is pop ular with both children and adults.

The drama will be given more par ticularly for children, with some in vitations extended by the students of the class. This will be the second attempt t.f the freshman class, their first production being “Spoon River An thology,” by Kdgar i^ee masters. “Alice in Wonderland’’ is a group of stories fold by Lewis Car iol to a little girl some forty or fifty years ago. Before ^I.r. Lewis died lie collected the stories in a vol ume and gave it to the woman who 1 ecently sold it to an American mil lionaire for $75,000. Grille Dance with Kollcge Knights Sat.
