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.

—— CINEMA
By BOB GUILD
What the depression has done
for the movies: In southern Cali
fornia the mode is double-feature
headlines. 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

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.

I’d never thought much about what’s inside a

something that made me think about it.
Just think of this, some of the tobacco in Chest*

And before it is shipped every single leaf is packed
by hand. All because Turkish tobacco is so small
and delicate.
Of course I don’t know much about making

milder and have a very pleasing aroma and taste.
They satisfy—and that’s what counts with me!
