U. W. Students Seek $10 Cut In Term Fees 24 Students and Campus Daily Behind Move Three or Four Thousand Names Is Goal of Petition Now In Circulation UNIVERSITY OF WASHING TON, Seattle, Feb. 21.—(Special) —Three or four thousand Univer sity of Washington student signa tures was the goal of petitions cir culated on the campus this week to back the bill before the state legislature to reduce student fees $10 a quarter. The petitions will be presented to the state legisla ture and Governor Clarence D. Martin. A committee of 24 student lead ers, headed by Kline Swygard, bas ketball star, backed the campus Daily’s prograan for “more stu dents rather than more buildings’’ when they announced Friday that they would circulate petitions in favor of the bill. The $10 which the bill proposes to cut from the fees would pro vide $330,000 toward a $530,000 building program during the next two years. With the $10 fee reduc tion, the University would still have $200,000 from metropolitan rentals to use in construction. The bill would make the gener al university tuition $5 a quarter, instead of the present $15. Senator Palmer, Republican from King county introduced the bill in the state senate. Backers of the student move ment are of the opinion that other costs have come down during the depression, but the fees have re mained at the $15 level since the days before the “crash.” From the $530,000 fund two new buildings are planned for the cam pus during the next two years to house an estimated increase of 1100 students due to the lowered entrance requirements.

Two shows for the price of one— but “Grand Hotel” ushered in a newer kind of economy . . . doubled up stars. “State Fair,” picturization of Phil Stong's novel of that name, opens at the Mc Donald today with eight featured players, in accordance with the latest edict from the office of the Fox exchequer. Janet Gaynor, Will Rogers,- Lew Ayres, Sally Eilers, Norman Fos ter, Louise Dresser, Frank Cra ven, Victor Jory—hardly need go further, but just to say “here they are,” and presume that the audi ence will collect to see for itself. At any rate, this romance of Abel Fralte, who went to the fair with a prize hog, is something good . . . more than one story is crammed into the scenario—two romances, a bit of homely comedy by Rogers and Louise Dresser, and not least, by any means, a piggish romance between the champion hog and champion sow, which caps the climax expertly. Rather better than most. Today the Colonial presents ] Constance Bennett in. “What Price Hollywood,” and “The Merry' Wives of Vienna,” another of the series of foreign films booked by the Colonial, will show Thursday. For a change we will be privileged to see one of the better foreign pictures—not a third run poverty row epic. New York’s Film Daily says: “Audiences will go for this one, which is one of the finest pictures to reach these American shores ...” The Chicago Evening Post says: “The Merry Wives of Vien na” is a screen operetta, handled as operettas should be handled on the screen.” Will Forst plays the leading role —he will be remembered for his work in “Two Hearts in Waltz Time.” The picture is billed as a road show, with one performance each evening, starting at 7:30. The showing of the feature, preluded by shorts, will be about 8:40. As is the usual case with for eign pictures, the plot is slight and unimportant, much more emphasis having been placed on the music, which is as fine as ever. Postage Stamps Cost Oregon Students $300 Every Month By PARKS HITCHCOCK Students spend approximately $300 a month more for postage stamps than before the charge of three cents was made for first class mail. This figure was reached as the result of an Emerald sur vey conducted during the last few days. A representative group of stu dents were queried as to the num ber of letters that they wrote dur ing a school month. The average ' number appeared about fifteen, or nearly a letter every second day. Figuring one cent as the present additional charge for each letter, a student body of approximately 2200 would, spend about $300 on the excess rate. In spite of this added burden on student pocketbooks, the body of mail leaving the University has1 kept up to its usual standard. D. i E. Yoran, U. S. postmaster at Eu gene, declared that the sale of postage stamps has fallen off ap preciably, but he attributes this largely to the decline in business and consequent lessening of com munication. Newton Smith, manager of the College Side Inn, local eating es tablishment, declares that the stu dent rate of purchase of postage stamps has undoubtedly gone up, considering the decline in the stu dent body this year. Mr. Smith also notes the ascendancy in pop ularity of one-cent postal cards as a means of communication. In viewing the local postal situ ation, Mr. Yoran declared that, contrary to general opinion, com mon ordinary letters could not be sent out at the 1 1-2-cent rate, even though the envelopes were left unsealed. He said this rate was only for printed material that came in quantity of approximately 20 or more. The figures gathered by the Em erald show that during the eight months the students of the Uni versity spend approximately S2400 extra because of the new postage rate. This money would send at least seven or eight students through’college for a year, it is Put Heel and Toe Plates On Those New Shoes and Make Them Look New Longer We Fix ’Em CAMPUS SHOE REPAIR j 1 - - ■ =?)' Sigma Delta Chi — by — ANN-REED BURNS I___ I i Editor's note—This is one of 1 a series of articles being writ ten describing honorary organi zations on the University of Oregon campus. By ANN-REED BURNS On a certain day, both fall and spring terms,' several college stu dents, wearing top hats amt swal low-tail coats, stand on the library steps, haranguing with great ve hemence about some piece of non sense. Almost 200 watch this spectacle with astonishment, doubting the sanity of the partici pants. However, it is merely pre-initia | tion of Sigma Delta Chi, national | journalistic professional fraterni ty, and the would-be orators are I [ pledges to the fraternity, who will 1 be initiated within 30 days after- [ wards. Sigma Delta Chi was first found*- ' ed in Depauw university in 3 900,,' coincidental with the move to wards the establishment of jour nalism schools. The chapter at this University was founded in 1913, one of the first honorary fra- 1 ternities to be established here. To be elected to membership, one 1 must be outstanding in journalism, 1 both having a high grade average * and having been active in journal- 1 istic activities, such as working 1 on the Emerald or Oregana. It is a tradition at the University of j • Oregon that members of Sigma 1 Delta Chi must be journalism ma- ] jors. Members of the advertising 1 fraternity, Alpha Delta Sigma, are < not eligible. ; 1 Slugs for Pins Twice a year, fall and spring.1 terms, members of Sigma Delta 1 Chi approach the five or ten men who have been elected to member-1' ship, pinning on each a linotype 11 slug, which serves as a pledge pin. | 1 The pledges wear these slugs until ’ initiation, even during the famous : speeches on the library steps. i • One of the main activities of this j' | chapter of Sigma Delta Chi is the ; annual contest which has been held five years for the best week- | : ly or semi-weekly newspaper in i ] the state, a silver cup being pre-! i sented to the winner. To compete in this, a newspaper must, send five successive issues before De- j cember 5. These are judged and I the cup presented to the winner at the winter meeting of the Oregon j State Editorial association, held annually in Eugene at the last of j January. Sigma Delta Chi also awards a cup, which was donated by Paul Kelty, editor of the Morn ing Oregonian, for the best edito rial page in a weekly or semi weekly newspaper. This contest is managed much the same as the other, entrance to the competition closing May 31, and the cup being awarded at the summer session of ] the Oregon State Editorial asso- • ciation in Portland. At present j both cups are held by the Hood I River News. Awards To Be Given In former years, Sigma Delta I Chi awarded cups to the best high school papers of different classes at a high school conference held here annually. Due to a school board regulation that high school conferences may not be held at a university, these awards have not been given during the past two years. However, next year it is planned to again conduct the con test, but by mail. Sigma Delta Chi, in cqnjunction with Theta Sigma Phi, women's journalism honorary, sponsors the Journalism Jam every year. The two fraternities also hold several luncheons and other such affairs during the year. Sigma Delta Chi every month holds a business meet ing and a professional program meeting to which special speakers are invited. Prints Green Goose During spring term, just pre vious to exams, after regular edi tions of the Emerald have ceased to be published, Sigma Delta Chi issues a scandal sheet very similar j to the Emerald—the Green Goose. It is, apparently, supposed to tell the students enough scandalous happenings on and about the cam pus to carry them, through exams, and on through the summer. There are several faculty mem bers of Sigma Delta Chi. Professor Carlton Spencer and Dean Earl Onthank were charter members: George Godfrey, and Alexander Brown were initiated later; and Dean Eric W. Allen has been made an associate member. Many well known newspaper men throughout the state, several on the staff of the Morning Oregonian, have been Sigma Delta Chis. At present there are 12 mem bers of the fraternity. Officers are Sterling Green, president; Ru-! f»s Kimball, vice-president; Oscar; Munger, secretary; Vincent Mut- | ton, treasurer; Jack Bellinger, scribe; Dean Eric W. Allen, facul ty adviser; Walter W. R. May, as sociate editor of the Morning Ore gonian, representative of the na tional chapter.. figured, if they lived reasonably. At a college as large as Colum bia in New York, where there arc 30,000 students, or University of California, where there are 12,000 students, this figure reaches stag ! geriug proportions. Music Enthusiasts Renew Allegiance to Landsbury By JDAVE WILSON John Landsbury could have giv en a very indifferent sort of per formance as piano soloist with the University Symphony orchestra Iasi Sunday afternoon, and the 2500 concert-customers in McAr thur court would have liked it any way. So we draw the veil of edi torial restraint over the enthus iasm with which they greeted an other very capable, very artistic and very human keyboard per formance from the head of the music school. The thing was that there were 2500 friends of John Landsbury draped over floor and balconies, and they liked the soloist's work before he began it. When the three movements of the Saint Saens concerto were finished, 5000 hands paid tribute with an unde niable demand for an encore. John Landsbury's gracious response was j a gracious rendition of Liemann’s) graceful transcription for Jensen’s song. “Murmuring Zephyrs." New we know why John Lands- ! bury gives a concert only every two or three years. In between times, the fickle public forgets how well he can play, with the result that every recital is, even to his closer friends, a fresh revelation of true talent. Such political sagac ity is distressingly rare amo'ng professional musicians. But I mustn’t use up my allotted 300 words without just dues for the orchestra. It wasn't just a part of the background for thai piano concerto. Director Rex Un derwood handled the difficult Saint-Saens score superbly, and all sections of the orchestra seemed on edge to match the soloist's per formance. The two Wagnerian overtures which opened the concert were as good as old favorites can be when done with all the loving care of a world premiere. The strings and the brasses in the "Pilgrim’s March” theme came from the overture to “Tannhauser,” and the I strings in the Holy Grail theme j from the prelude to "Lohengrin.” Wagnerian austerity was nicely offset against the "Danse Bac chanale” from Saint-Saens’ "Sam son and elilah." It's no wonder that Samson tore down the temple pillars when he heard that music. | It made some of the enthusiastic auditors around the press-box try ! to punch holes in the floor with time-keeping brogues. The use of a small stringed or I chestra -in the middle of the pro gram was again justified by the warm reception given Grainger’s "Molly on the Shore" as presented by an ensemble directed by Delbert I Moore. Campus Calendar j The first meeting of the Con | gress club since its reorganization two weeks ago will be held Thurs day night at 9:00 o'clock at Col lege Side Inn.

Mr. Thorne is scheduled to speak on “The Good and Bad Chracter Colonial To Show German Picture A modern German talking pic ture, regarded by critics here as one of the best to come out of Europe, “Merry Wives of Vienna" I will be presented at the Colonial theatre Thursday evening, it is announced by Glen Godfrey, pro motion manager. The picture, which is all in German, will be de scribed beforehand so that those who have no knowledge of the language will be able to follow the story. Music plays an important part , in the production, and some of the : most popular tune3 of Germany are included in the score. These are also made a part of the story, which in itself i3 charming.

He made a speech here two years ago which will be well re membered by education majors as one of the best ever presented be fore them in their particular field. Reedy announced that the talk will be open to the public, and urged all who can to attend. ■ Spicy leaves of Turkish tobacco are strung to dry and cure in the sun.
