The Townsend old age peneion plan, according to Hunter, wl*o is president of the law school stu dent body, was not “feasible.” Miller refused to commit himself, declaring he was not an authority. To the question, “Do you think Roosevelt will be elected?" Hunter replied, “I'm afraid so!” Miller, sidetracking the question some what, merely said, “I come from a long line of Republicans.” Other questions shot at the two students concerned Hoover, Borah, Knox, whether or not athletes should be paid, and whether they believed Oregon should play in the present Northwest conference set up. Phi Sigma Kappa Attacks Council Say9 That Council Lack.9 ‘Intestinal Fortitude’; Pays ‘Under Protest’ Climaxing: a n interfratemity council controversy wihich started in October, 1935, Bill Corman, president of Phi Sigma Kappa an nounced last night that the “dirty rushing" fine of $10 imposed by the council would be “paid under protest.” In a letter to the editor which appears elsewhere in this paper, the fraternity declares there is an “obvious deficiency in' the present system of rushing,” and that the council tribunal lacks "intestinal fortitude.” The fraternity, according to the Emerald of October 11, was fined for breaking the “ten-thirty rule.” The statement was also carried that one pledge had been revoked because of ineligibility. The latter statement was retracted when it was found that Phi Sigma Kappa had not pledged the man. As to the “rushee” who was be ing "rushed" after hours, the fra ternity protests on the grounds that the man at no time was con sidered a “rushee,” since he had not filed his high school creden tials with the registrar; had not registered at the dean of men’s of fice, and had not been issued a date card, or rushed by the frater nity. The auestion will be discussed at Thursday's meeting of the inter fraternity council. Hunter to Leave Today for St. Louis Chancellor Frederick M.

Caswell, head of the phy sics department, for the problem now facing the ASUO of securing sufficient funds for activities is to lower the price of tickets to the point that will attract the most buyers and sell the tickets to townspeople, faculty members, and students at the same price. He says that a method similar to this was used at Purdue some years ago when he was there and was convenient and satisfactory. “I am really glad to see the op tional fees for students instead of compulsory fees,” says Dr. Cas well. "It now makes it necessary for the activities on the student ticket to give the students their money’s worth or they will not buy the tickets,” he continued. "The' psychology of getting something for nothing attracts people to buy a season ticket to the games when they would not ordinarily spend the same amount of money in seeing the games if they bought a ticket to each one individually," is Dr. Caswell's the ory. "Also the ASUO is assured of a guaranteed gate receipt, re gardless of the weather, as soon as the tickets are sold," says Dr. Cas well. "And there is sufficient seat ing capacity in both McArthur court and the football field to take care of additional crowds that might be attracted.” Dr. Caswell believes that in the past the students and faculty members buying activity tickets have been treated unfairly in dis tribution of the Emerald and hi scheduling of games. He says that in past yeafS the important games have been scheduled for Portland in order to get better gate receipts, and many ticket holders cannot af ford to go to Portland even If their transportation is furnished.

The meeting in Eugene is set for Feb ruary 28. Cities which will send delegates, ■ other than Eugene, are Bend, Med ford, LaGrande, Albany and Baker. All but two have been heard from, says Mr. Kehrli. Representatives from Salem, . Portland, and Klamath Fails, al ready having civil service regula 1 tions, have been invited to the BeLieu, Curry Ineligible With Question as to Succession of Peck or New Election The junior class is without either a president or a vice-president, it was revealed yesterday. The in eligibility of Kenneth BeLieu, pres ident, and Carmen Curry, vice president, has set the political combinations into premature ac tivity, fighting for the Junior Weekend appointments. Deficien cies in meeting scholastic require ments was responsible for the in eligibility of the two. Two alternatives face the mem bers of the class: a special election to fill the vacant offices can be held; or the secretary, Grace Peck, highest ranking eligible officer, may be elevated to the presidential position. The class constitution is vaguely worded on the method of filling the vacancies. Request for Decision A request is to be made today of the ASUO judiciary committee to interpret the constitution so the class may settle its difficulty aa soon as possible so as to stir Junior Weekend plans into activity. Be fore these can begin, a member of the class must be given the author ity to name the directorate. In the event the judiciary group rules that Miss Peck should be given the position as head of the class, she will automatically be come president. If an election is declared, the time will have to be decided upon. Politicians Act Political forces in the class were stimulated yesterday as news of the possibility of a special election became known among the students. George Turnbull, class adviser, said of the developments last night: "I understand that Mr. Be Lieu had gone ahead and tentative ly selected the personnel of the Junior Weekend directorate, and undoubtedly he would be willing to consult with his successor, in the event of an election, in regard to appointments and help him to select the most capable persons to carry out the vitally important Junior Weekend activities." Turnbull Speaks Promise of prompt reference of the problem to the judiciary coun cil was commended by Mr. Turn bull, who expressed his hope that the class would ,get organized promptly and undertake plans for the weekend to uphold the un broken tradition of th* success of the event. He also suggested that the class take this occaslbh to put its constitution into workable con dition. Members of the judiciary com mittee are Wayne L. Morse, chair man, Calvin Crumbaker, Virgil D. Earl, James H. Gilbert, Ray Mize, and Fred Colvig. OSC Fire Causes $5000 Damage Fire which 3wept the Oregon State college armory early yester day morning resulted in damages amounting to approximately $5000. The entire balcony and two offices of the building were destroyed, and wall plaster, furniture, windows, and floors were seriously damaged by fire and water. The blaze whose origin had been traced to combustion in a waste paper basket was easily squelched by speedy firemen. Guns and am munition of the ROTC were not damaged. Dog Licenses Due, Says Bryan “Better hurry,” said Cal M. Bryan, city recorder, “and get your dog licensed.” So far, 271 dog li censes have been issued. During the month of March, 25 cents will be added to the original fee for de linquency and each subsequent month 25 cents more. After March 1, purchasers will have to pay $1.25 for a male dog instead of $1.00, and $1.75 for a female instead of $1.50. Since the licensing of dogs has become a new city ordinance, students should get their dogs licensed soon.
