signal Delta Chi Is Sponsor ol
Test for Weeklies From
Oregon Towns
Weekly newspapers from all
parts of the state have been en
tered in the Sigma Delta Chi con
test to determine the best weekly
in Oregon, it is announced here by
Jack Bellinger, contest chairman.
The deadline for entry of papers
in the competition was January 1.
The newspapers are now in the
hands of the judges, who will an
nounce their decision at the an
nual Oregon Press conference,
scheduled to be held at the school
of journalism at the University of
Oregon, January 19, 20, and 21.
May Is Chairman
Walter W. R. May, member of
the national executive council of
Sigma Delta Chi and associate ed
itor of the Oregonian, will be
chairman of the judging commit
tee, it is announced by Sterling
Green, president of the University
of Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta
Chi, which is sponsoring the con
test. Ernest Gilstrap, vice-presi
dent of the Southern Oregon Pub
lishing company, publishers of the
Roseburg News-Review, Medford
Mail-Tribune, and the Klamath
Falls News and Herald, and M. R.
Chessman, editor of the Astorian
Budget, will be the other two
judges.
“Sigma Delta Chi is fortunate in
obtaining these three prominent
newspapermen to judge the entries
in the contest,” Bellinger said.
“Their experience in journalism
and their willingness to help as
sures us that the papers will be
judged carefully and fairly. The
three men represent three differ
ent fields of experience and three
different sections of the state.”
Cup To Be Awarded
The Sigma Delta Chi loving cup,
now in the hands of Jack Bladine,
editor of the McMinnville Tele
phone-Register, last year’s winner
of the contest, will be awarded, as
in the past, at the final banquet
of the Press conference, Saturday
evening, January 22.
In other years, the winner has
not been announced until the time
of the banquet, but this year, ac
cording to the contest chairman,
the first prize paper will be made
known early in the conference, in
order that the winning newspaper
and other entries may be fexamined
and discussed by the delegates.
1932 Winner Ineligible
The McMinnville Telephone
Register is the only paper not eli
gible for the contest this year, as
the rules forbid the previous year's
winner from entering the contest
the year following. The Hillsboro
Argus, which won the cup the first
year of the contest, 1930, is one of
the contestants again this year.
The Heppner Gazette-Times, which
received first place in 1931, did not
enter the contest.
The rules of the contest ask
each paper that enters to submit
at least three consecutive issues
published between the dates of
June 12 and December 17, 1932,
inclusive, and it is papers from
this period of time that the judges
will make their selection.

f
Abolishment of 50-Year

Professors Enabled To Take Part
In Municipal Affairs With
Repeal of Regulation
Faculty and staff members of
any institution under the control
of the state board of higher edu
cation may no hold public office
and take part in municipal af
fairs.
An old regulation of the former
board of regents of the University,
made June 15. 1883, prevented fac
ulty members here from holding
office or taking part in any politi
cal affairs. A resolution, addressed
to the board of higher education
asking repeal of this, was recently
passed here at faculty meeting and
sent on to the board, which at its
last meeting rescinded the 50-year
old ban. '
One member of the faculty, Or
lando J. Hollis, professor of law,
was recently named a member of
the Eugene water board, and the
action of the state board will per
mit him to hold his office.
The recent action of the state
board applies to all staff members
of the University, state college, and
normal schools.

ciation of the Pacific states. Next

Address by Rebec Is
Published in Germany
In the November issue of “Lo
gos,” a journal of the philosophy
of culture, published at Tuebingen,
Germany, appeared as a leading
article a presidential address given
by Dr. George Rebec before the
Pacific division of the American
Philosophical association.
The English title of the article
was back to the Antinomies,” but
was in German translation in the
magazine. A foot note explaining

A rise in grade averages in Eng
lish K, corrective English course
for freshmen, was shown at the
compiling of all class grades at the
end of fall term, according to a re

head of that English department.
Whereas previously 60 per cent
of those taking the course were
promoted into the standard sec
tions, the percentage lasL term was

Modern Penelope Now Head
Of Co-Op’s Book Department
By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST
Mrs. Eyler Brown most admir
ably fits the requirements of a
modern Penelope. While her hus
band is abroad, she is not spinning, j
as did Penelope, but is serving the;
campus as head of the text book
department of the University
Co-op. In an interview yesterday I
she spoke of the work of Mr. '•
Brown, who is now studying etch
ing under Monsieur DeBroeeker,
Belgium's internationally famous
etcher, at Brussels.
Last spring, Eyler Brown re
ceived a scholarship given by the
C. R. B. foundation (Commission
for the Relief of Belgium), which
was founded during the war by
donations from the American pub
lic. The income from the remain-1
der of the fund has since been
turned into scholarships for Amer
ican students. Brown sailed last
fall to spend a year studying
abroad.
He has not matriculated with a
university in Belgium but is study
ing privately under DeBroeker.
This type of private instruction is
not customary. Throng li the
means of the C. R. B. foundation,
which is backed by the Belgium
government, the instruction was
arranged.
Mrs. Brown stated:
“He has had the opportunity to
attend a series of diplomatic en
tertainments consisting of dinners,
musicales, and theatre parties,
where he has come in contact with
many brilliant persons. On several
occasions, he has met members of
the chamber of deputies, which
corresponds to our cabinet.”
During the first two months
abroad, Mr. Brown traveled in Bel
gium and France in order to per
fect his French. He also made
many sketches and took quantities
af photographs that he might have
material when the winter weather
arrived. After 2 o'clock on winter
days, Mrs. Brown explained, it be
comes so dark that work on the
copper etching plates must cease.
Brown received his bachelor of
arts degree at the University of
Dregon and his master of archi
tecture degree at the Boston School
of Technology. He has served
since 1923 as assistant professor
of architectural design in the art
school here.
Mrs. Brown Is sailing from New
York on January 27 to meet her
husband at Southampton. England.
She then plans to spend three
months in Brussels with him,
where she will study dramatics and
French. She was graduated from
Oregon in drama. They plan to
visit relatives in Sweden during
the summer and to return to the
campus next fall.
r
Emerald
Of the Air
Ilo Wilson, University vocalist,
will be heard on the Emerald-of
the-Air program over KORE today
at 12:1T>. He will be accompanied
on the piano by Ted Charles, studio
pianist.
SATURDAY DANCE WILL
BE FEATURE AFFAIR
(Continued front Piute One)
permitted to be made at the dance,
anyone wishing to do so are urged
to contact house representatives
or the College Side, where tickets
are also on sale.
Added to the four vaudeville
acts, Bob Hall, in charge of fea
tures, has arranged another act.
Throughout the enetrtainments,
Francis Mullins will act as master
of ceremonies. Music will be fur
nished by the Campa Shoppe
Serenaders.
Ed Cross and Grant Thuemmel,
in charge of decorations, decline to
give out any advance information
on decorations until guests gather
at the dance. Souvenirs are still
arriving on the campus and will be
given out at the Campa Shoppe.
K. K. K. stickers and Alpha Delta
Sigma posters have been placed
about the campus to advertise the
affair.
The Tobacco Crop may be Short
this^ear_
but that can’t affect Chesterfield—why?
Production of tobaccos usable for cigarettes or "roll your own.”
U. S. crop (average, 5 years, 1927-31) . 1,091,265,750 lbs.
U. S. crop (Govt, estimate, 1932) . . . 751,601,000 lbs.
Estimated shortage, 1932 crop . . . 339,664,750 lbs.
The manufacturer of good ciga
rettes does not depend on any one
year’s crop. He knows that to keep
up the quality of his brand, he has
to carry on hand at all times a
large stock of the right kinds of
tobacco from several years’ crops.
The domestic tobaccos are kept
in large hogsheads, each contain
ing about 1000 pounds, and are
allowed to age for two full years
—in other words, nature’s method
of curing the tobaccos. Something
like ageing wine.
Liggett & Myers has about four
and a half miles of warehouses
used for storing leaf tobacco, to
\
make sure that its products are
uniform and are as good as can
be made.
To do this requires a great deal
of money—for example, there is
invested in the domestic and Turk
ish tobaccos for Chesterfield Ciga
rettes over $75,000,000.
Smokers can be assured, regard
less of the crop conditions, that
Chesterfield will be absolutely uni
form—the same yesterday, today,
at all times. The cigarette that’s
milder—-the cigarette thattastes
better!
