Profits From Last Year’s Campus Luncheon May Reduce Tax $400 Reserve Will Go Into Junior Fund Like Amount To Be Available Each Year By Lowered Fee Students May Pay 35-cent Levy Spring Term By REX TUSSING A reduction in the tax assessed students for the Junior Week-end campus luncheon this spring, and Doc Robnett a reserve ui each year to cover possible fu ture losses—that probability came to light last night, when Ron ald Robnett, as t sistant graduate 'manager, an j: nounced that a 5 reserve of ap proximately $400 in profits from last year’s luncheon is being held in a separate fund by the comp trailer's office for use for the Week-end affair. Plans suggested to the graduate manager’s office by Arthur Schoe ni, editor of the Emerald, for cut ting the tax from 50 to 35 cents for each student are entirely feas ible, according to Robnett. Al though no definite action can be assured until Comptroller L. H. Johnson gives his approval, pres ent indications point to the 15 cent reduction. Class Budget Unhurt This change, it was pointed out, does not threaten the junior class with a deficit on their budget. Last year approximately $400 profits were made by what is now the senior class, but since the amount is collected from all stu dents, the profits from the lunch eon have been kept in a separate fund. This $400, supplemented by the $800 or more which would be gained by the reduced levy, would V still amount to over $1,200, the amount received last year. If the expenses are kept within those of last year, it is pointed out, then there will again be a profit equal to the sum advanced in the first place. Each year’s luncheon will return the $400 ad vanced. Profits Carried On Receipts from the vodvil, canoe fete, and other functions of the junior class which are financed and promoted entirely by the class alone will go, according to pres ent plans yet unconfirmed, in the regular class funds. The separate funding for the luncheon was made because the money comes from a general student levy, not a class tax. The junior class last year made a profit of slightly less than $200, according to Robnett's statement last night, all of which has been carried forward to the credit of this year’s senior class. GUILD HALL PLAYERS TO GIVE THREE PLAYS (Continued from Page One) certainly one of Edna St. VinGent Millay’s best known things, and in it she manages to delicately and prettily paint a picture of life. Bob Guild will play Pierrot, and Elva Baker, Columbine. The play will be directed by Renee Nelson. Handsome settings are being planned for these three plays, since they lend themselves re markably well to color and move ment in stage design. The sets are being planned and constructed by Fred Harris of the art department, who has done sets for all the im portant productions of the year. Tickets for the bill will go on reserve in the ticket office at Johnson hall Tuesday. * Society Phyllis Van Kimraell, Editor S. A. E. Convention Schedule Meet Here Today The first province convention of Sigma Alpha Epsilon to be held in Eugene is having its sessions here today and tomorrow, with Oregon Beta, the University of Oregon chapter, as hosts. One of the features of the gath ering will be the annual Foun der’s day banquet, to be held to morrow evening at the Eugene ho tel in observance of the 74th an niversary of the founding of the fraternity. All members of the Oregon Alpha, the chapter at O. S. C., will be guests at this din ner, in addition to the delegates. Delegates will be present from the five other chapters of the province, in addition to the two chapters in Oregon, these being located at the University of Wash ington, Washington State college, University of Montana, Montana State college, and University of Idaho. Sessions of the convention will be held at the chapter house here, with Rene P. Banks, province pres ident, presiding. Lawrence Shaw, president, and Paul Branin, treas urer of Oregon Beta, will repre sent the local chapter. Frosli, .09 There Have .Ohl Meeting Call for Adjournment Only Business Done Eighty-six freshmen, 9.55 per cent of their class, were present at the class meeting which was called for 7 last evening at Villard hall. This not being a quorum, no business could be transacted. President Larry Bay took the stand long enough to admonish his charges in regard to the fresh man class spirit, which he t,ermed “rotten.” He said that the meet ing had been called to determine the fate of the traditional spring term freshman picnic and the amount of the class tax which it would be necessary to add to the spring term fees in order to fi nance said picnic. The meeting not being formal, the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and the reading of a financial report for the year were crossed off the agenda. The only motion made from the floor was one for adjournment. MOVING FINGER (Continual from Page One) purpose. Probably some pin will be given the student prexy. Mention of the Order of the O again brings the query as to the right of the Order and of the Oregon Knights to dictate campus traditions, and to en force them. No mention of that delegation of power will be made in the constitution. It is possible that some erring freshman or on-the-campus smok er may question that power be ! fore the judiciary. Whether it would have reached that body un der the first proposed system is doubtful, yet there seems little question that the matter is a con i stitutional one. BLUE BELL PRQDUCTS BUTTER—ICE CREAM .

The whole performance of the Irish scenc^ seemed remarkable for its lack of color. The stage light ing effects, which should have been impressive, were merely dark enough to lend atmosphere to the generally dead feeling of the play. Too bad, because it is a nice play, and very enjoyable when done well. One of the policemen (I suspect Ray Foss), had one good line; something about hanging a poster on a barrel, which was a sympa thetic line. For some reason or' other he emoted very well, that once. The other high spot of the performance was Miles Shaw’s tenor voice. Shaw sang ballads. “Fancy Free” was enjoyable. In fact, it was so English that it hurt, which was, of course, exact ly as intended. Helen Mielke as the wholly feminine Fancy turned in a very nice performance. It was Miss Mielke's first appear ance on the campus stage, and she was heartily appreciated. There has been a tendency to over work the old faithfuls, and after all, variety IS a spice. Charles Gillespie was good op posite Helen. That is, he was good once he got his throat cleared so that we could hear him in the audience. Rumor has it that he and Miss Mielke played opposite one another in high school dra matics. This seemed borne out by a certain facility about their per formance, and they do look very nice together. Inez Simmons did well in her bit, which wasn’t long enough. And as for Bart Siegfrid, we were disappointed. He was not nearly as convincing as he has been and as he could have been in his part. P. E. Instructor Accepts Position At Rice Institute G. Hermance Will Teach At Texas School Next Year Gilbert Hermance, instructor in physical education and supervisor of men’s physical work, will sever his relations with the University ,at the end of the spring term to accept a simliar position at the Rice Institute, Houston, Texas, he announced Thursday. Mr. Her mance has been a member of the Oregon faculty since' his gradua tion from the University in 1927. Before entering upon his offic ial duties at Rice, Mr. Hermance will complete his requirements for his master’s degree at Columbia university this summer. He has attended the summer sessions at the Teacher’s college there for the past three years. Rice institute is a comparative ly new institution, according to Mr. Hermance, and it was only last year that Harry Scott, for mer Oregon professor, established a school of physical education there. Mr. Hermance will serve as an instructor in physical edu cation at the southern school, and will also serve as an assistant to Mr. Scott. He will have charge of the theoretical work and su pervision over the required and major activity programs.
