Sigma Delta Chi to Meet Thursdag at 7 To Consider Proposed Setup of National Constitution Sigma Delta Chi, men’s journal ism honorary, will meet Thursday evening at 7, to consider proposed constitutional amendments, accord ing to Hub Kuokka, president. The proposed changes, said Charles M. Hulten, faculty adviser, are for the purpose of removing the campus fraternity idea and chang ing the organization to one of pro fessional character, fostering ethics of the journalistic field. One amendment proposed will change the official name from a 'Backstage in Xanadu’ Makes Campus Debut By WEN BROOKS Backstage in Xanadu, the new book of plays written by Mrs. Alice Henson Ernst, associate professor of English, and hut recently released by the publishers, is “making a hit,” according to reports from the Co-op store where the book is now on sale. This is the second book of plays Mrs. Ernst has had published. Her first book, “High Country,” appearing in 1935, received favorable com ment from critics everywhere. Whereas “High Country” was a collec “fraternity” to a society.” Another change will reclassify the two types of membership into four new ones; undergraduate, profes sional, associate, and national hon orary. Chapter members are asked by Kuokka to read the copy of the amendment which is in the jour nalism school office, before the meeting.

The four plays contained in the small volume are all highly imagin ative, brimming with the author’s subtle humor, and make stimulat ing reading for young and old alike. The first play, “Cloistered Calm,” was produced at the University of ,Washington a few years ago and more recently right here at Oregon. “Afternoon of a Nymph,” which the author aptly calls a “diversion in one act,” is the second play in the series and was first produced in the Guild theater here on' the Oregon campus. “Nightingale,” the third pne-act, an Arabian Night’s fan tasy, was first published in Poet Lore. The colorful. settings . . . street and garden scenes in Bag dad . . . and the rhythmic swing of the lines combine to make it de lightful readftig. The Portland Civic theater was first to produce “Welcome Strang er,” the last one-act in the series. This play was selected by the Port land group as best suited to their purpose in their annual contest from new plays in 1932. All in all, “Backstage in Xanadu,” though very different in content is a fine complement to Mrs. Ernst’s first book, “High Country.” It is a book people will enjoy browsing in and provides the reader with many a laugh. Students Praised By Local Editors For Annual Papers The editions of the Register Guard and the Eugene News which were edited by the students at the school of journalism were said to be better than usual by the man aging editors of the two papers. George Turnbull, faculty adviser of the project, accredited the pa pers with being the “best yet.” The students have been putting out the papers for more than twenty years, he said. Working on the Guard were Larry Quinlan, managing editor; Homer Graham, assistant, and Phil Bladine, city editor. The News was headed by Bill Lamme, with Beulah Chapman, assistant, and Dick Litfin, city editor. Students in reporting and copy editing classes did the staff work for the papers, and members of the editing class wrote the editorials. ~;iimiiiuimii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuHii!iiimtiiimuiiiimiiiimiiiiiiuiimiiiiiiiiiiuiiiimiiimiuiitiu^ 1 SENIORS 1 I Luck | I to | | You ] | KENNEIi- | j ELLIS 1 Phone 1697 | 961 Willamette n i § r:l!i!UUItn!liniin)l!!nilUll!in!l!!mi!III!!l!IlllllilllllllllllllllIII!|lllllllll|tll|||||ll||||||||)|uuls . i Ojim Shnl _ t V/AmBlRNEj -PHONE 2700 MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY We congratulate The Emerald on its . . . 40th Anniversary For over 25 years of that time this store has been a regular adver tiser in the Emerald, and we hope to be at least another 25 years.
