The Utah team, upholding the

JUDICIARY CORRECTED . .
FIFTH-YEAR MEN BARRED
-By OLIVER POLITICUS
Right of appeal has been lodged
in the students themselves by ac
tion taken by the constitutional
revision committee yesterday.
Turning from giving the sole pow
er to the president, the higher
committee of three referred back
the article to approval without a
dissenting vote that aggrieved
parties may themselves bring
their cases before the court.
Thumbs up now on the judiciary.
The old plan put too much
power in the student president’s
hands in that it allowed him to
review all cases and decide
which should go before the tri
bunal. That power meant that
he could kill at will any plea
to which he was opposed.
Now a question is subject to ap
peal by being “submitted by peti
tion to the student affairs com
mittee, and in event that body
does not settle the question in dis
pute to the satisfaction of the pe
titioning party, or in event that
body makes no decision within a
reasonable time, the petitioner
may present his case to the judic
iary committee.” Petitions may
also arise in the student affairs
committee.
* * *
Another suggestion adopted
was that the judiciary adopt its
own rules of procedure, and that
a petitioner must conform to
those rules before the case will
be considered. The first action
of the student affairs commit
tee may convince half-hearted
petitioners that their plea^
stand little chance of approval.

Emerald Survey
Results Come in Slowly,
Says Ed Pubols
Strong interest is being shown
in the survey being conducted by
the Emerald to discover the stu
dents’ opinion of the Emerald and i
its advertising, but the results in
some cases have been slow in j
coming in, according to Edwin Pu
bols, head of the statistical depart
ment of the Emerald.
Those students who have filled
out questionnaires are asked to
return them as soon as possible to
the representatives assigned to
handle the survey in their living
organizations.
It is to the students' benefit
that they fill out the questionnaire,
as it will enable the Emerald to ]
publish a paper that will better
satisfy them.
It is estimated by Pubols that
the results of the survey will be
completed soon.

Plans for ‘Scandal Sheet’
To Be Made Soon
Wilfred Brown, senior in jour
nalism, was elected president of
Sigma Delta Chi, national profes
sional journalism honorary, at a
meeting held yesterday. Brown
was elected to take the place of
Carl Gregory, who is graduating
at the end of this term.
Brown Active
Brown, who has long been con
nected with journalistic activities
at the University, is the former
secretary and treasurer of Sigma
Delta Chi, occupied the position
of associate editor on both the
Emerald and the Oregana, was a
member of Ye Tabard Inn, writ
ing honorary, and an honor stu
dent in journalism.
Neil Taylor, junior in journal
ism, was elected treasurer of Sig
ma Delta Chi ,to take the place
vacated by the new president.
Clarence Craw will continue in
his position as secretary of the
chapter and Cecil Snyder contin
ues as vice-president.
Started Contest
Carl Gregory, retiring president,
has been prominent in journalism
on the campus for several years.
It was through his efforts that
Sigma Delta Chi introduced, at
the Oregon newspaper conference
held here recently, the Best Week
ly newspaper contest. The news
paper chosen as the best published
of the year is presented with a
silver loving cup, which it may
hold for one year.
The journalistic honorary’s
principle activity for the next
term will be the publication of
the Green Goose, humorous “scan
dal sheet,” printed at the end of
the spring term.
Fountain Works Again
After Being Repaired
At 2 p. m. yesterday the foun
tain in front of the main library
started bubbling again. “A
stopped drain” workmen assert
caused its removal. Donated by
the class of 1920, the fountain has
administered to the lighter thirsts
of nine classes and seen them go
their ways. “Somebody stole all
the gadgets you drink from,” ac
cuses one of the campus garden
ers, and so the fountain has some
shiny new caps, from which the
water falls in turbulent streams.

U. O. - Husky Basketball
Game To Be Sent
From Seattle
Contest in North Will Not
Be Broadcast
Friday night’s basketball game
between the University of Oregon
and the University of Washing
ton for the championship of the
northern section conference will be
given play-by-play at McArthur
court, starting at 8 o’clock. Ar
rangements have been made with
the Western Union to have the
game sent directly from the Wash
ington pavilion to McArthur court,
where it will be transmitted by
J. H. McKevitt, manager of the
local Western Union. Slug Pal
mer will then announce it to the
fans. The game will not be broad
cast as the Washington authori
ties do not permit broadcasting of
their hoop games.
To Play Popular Music
There is only a few seconds de
lay between the time the play is
made and its actual announce
ment here, Doc Robnett, as
sistant graduate manager, who is
in charge, announced. If Oregon
wins Friday the game also will be
given play-by-play Saturday.
A nominal charge of 25 cents
will be made to cover the wire
tolls and the incidental expenses.
Between halves latest popular mu
sic will be played over a specially
built phonograph, which is hooked
up to the amplifiers.
Not New Experiment
This is not a new experiment.
It was tried last year when the
first Washington-Oregon game
was played and proved immensely
popular. Five hundred students
and townsfolk turned out.
The play-by-play is put on
through the cooperation of the As
sociated Students, the Sports
Writers association and the Eu
gene Register.
Annex to Infirmary
Opened for Patients
Owing to the epidemic of grippe
on the campus, which has caused
so many to be turned away from
the infirmary, the infirmary an
nex at Fourteenth and Onyx has
been opened. Eleven or twelve
patients may be cared for there.
Those now under the care of
the infirmary are: Sam Itzikowitz,
Dorothy MacMillan, Edna Peter
son, Cecil Emmons, Jack Hewitt,
Nina Aim, William Correll, Nicho
las Costosa, and Joe Jansa. All
are afflicted with cases of grippe.
Ivory Door Legend Shows
Beautiful Sets, Costumes
A fantastic tale of witchcraft
and legend, with perhaps a grain j
of salty truth here and there, was
spun last night at the Guild thea
tre. It was the tale of the legend
of the Ivory Door, so old that the
truth was too delicately spun to
withstand its superstitious power.
It was a tale of life, lived long
ago, and yet strangely like life as
it is lived today.
A whimsical fairy sort of thing
. . . lightly spun and delicate . . .
it had a charm peculiar to its type;
a charm that was reflected in the
beauty of the sets and the color
of the costumes.
And there was charm, too, in
its story; the story of the hand
some king and the beautiful
princess, who loved one another.
And there was a chancellor, too,
with a sage face and a gray beard.
There was an army, with a blus
tering commander, and soldiers
(with funny legs). And over it
all was the spell of the Ivory Door
. . . “the door from thi3 life.”
Jack Waldron did nice work as
the chancellor. His beard wag
gled with exactly the proper
amount of seer and wise indeci
sion; he was querulous, and trem
bling, and official, with just the
right amount of ancient obstrep
erousness.
Miles Shaw was another who
did nice work as an ancient. Old
Beppo, who had seen “three of ’em
vanish into thin air.” . . . And
finally, but by no means the least,
may we mention Dr. Edward
Buchanan, who did some very fine
acting as the mummer. He blus
tered, he swaggered, he boasted.
He was good.
And these three headlined the

Directorate Discusses Many

Week-eml
Letters To Be Written to
Other Schools
The proposition to change the
date of the canoe fete to Saturday
night of Junior Week-end to en
able visiting parents to attend it
was voted down at a meeting of
the Junior Week-end directorate
which was held last evening.
Insufficient seating facilities
made the change impossible, the
committee decided. Last year 200
persons were turned away from
the event, and there is no possi
bility of increasing the seating ca
pacity along the millrace.
A number of new ideas will be
introduced into this year’s pro
gram, according to Hal Johnson,
general chairman for the event.
Campus day is to be a bigger
event than ever before, and in this
connection, letters will be set to
other colleges to secure informa
tion about the way similar events
are carried on elsewhere.
