Circulation Manner Emily Tyree, OUioe Manager Incidental—A New Name for anOldFee ...Only Now Everyone Pays It 'yyrrENTCVER llio state hoard or higher education comes together for a meeting its movements are hound to make news for everyone connected with the state system. Tuesday it came together and generated news tlie like of which is not everyday stuff. 11 tacked another .+2 onto the regular fee list through the system, labeling the resultant six per cent increase an “incidentals fee.” The increase marks Ihe first activity on the fees front since the $2 addition of two years ago wlijich made compulsory Ihe physical, education or gym fee. Before anything else is said, before any sound opinion can he formed by those affect ed, perhaps it, would he better if a little groundwork were laid explaining the sig nificance of the latest addition to the fixed charges side of the ledger. # «■ # JN the first place, the term incidentals is not exactly a very limiting expression, nor is it very revealing. What flic new tax amounts to in fact is an educational activities fee. The added, infexihle revenue will be directed toward the support of various activities in which all undergraduates have been accus tomed to taking part, hut for which only about 07 per cent, were actually paying. Under 1 he new setup everyone will be in the. fold. Included among these educational .. tions are the annual ({renter Artists concert series, which constitute a cultural endeavor, the much-disputed Emerald circulation, the University band and orchestra, and forensic travels. All of these functions are held educa tional by the board, whereas it was held that there was no reason that they should not be 100 per cent supported instead of 07 per cent, in view ol the tact that the benefit was uni versal. J Ik* principle involved is universal taxation to support universal good, rallier than incomplete taxation to support universal good. * # * THE Emera^ itself has provided a problem. Supposedly an ASUO function available only to ASUO members and other paid sub scribers, the Emerald circulation has spread out at the edges, so that it gets into the hands of anyone1 who wants if, whether paid up or not. The new fee is designed as a cateh-all. The seeond main point is in regard to effect, in which department tlie implications multiply. The fact that ASUO membership will depend exclusively on Ihc athletic side of the card and the voting privilege is one effect. That will make the ASUO fee $9 a year, in stead of $15; but the total will he the same. With the separation of the athletic from the other functions the question of administration raised other points, for now some method will have to be figured out so that there is some attendance check to take the place of the present, ASUO card, which is a, minor con sideration. # « * rJ'MIU idea is so new yet and so undeveloped that not many of those who will have to carry it out have figured out all of its implica tions. The ASUO executive committee, which has not been exposed 1o the question as a body before, will meet today to decide what to think about it. More information as to the reasons for the move will be unearthed. Meanwhile the first approach toward re quired payment of a fee of this type has been made since the inception of optional fees sev eral years ago, after compulsory fees had been voted out in a state election. This may make il the most significant board story in that period. The tax being for educational activ ities, the move is perfectly legal; the board has the right to add such a fee. 'flic expressed principle of making everyone pay for what all are benefiting from has its merits, and ther(l are figures available to show just what kind of support these activities have been get ting, as well as the number of participants who had paid for the right to make use of the services. '1 hose were the arguments advanced for t he addit ion of t he fee. • # * ^^OT to be forgotten in final analysis is that whether they buy ASUO cards or not next year everyone registering in the University will be digging down into their pockets for an extra $2, regardless of the individual situation or desire. The function of choosing is no longer optional. The BAND BOX By BILL MOXLEY Kadio Goes Super-Colossal The radio business is every day becoming a bigger and bet ter field for talented job seek ers. With better programs, and the actuality of television only a few years away, radio will soon be a very serious threat to the continued success of ttie movie industry. Last year the radio networks did a gross busi ness of around $83,000,000 as against $70,000,000 in 1938. . . . More than 9,000,000 radios were sold in this country last year! . . . Good news for the bored listener is that NBC is cutting down its station - break an nouncements from twenty to five seconds. Kight Names, Wrong People During the past year Hal Kemp died in Kansas City, Har ry James died in Omaha, Ted Lewis was divorced in Omaha and Dusty Roades was sen tenced to death for murder in Iowa but none is related to the famous orchestra leaders of the same names. ... All this double monicker stuff's got nothing on us, as A1 Smith, Mark Hanna, Martin Luther, and many others are on the Oregon campus these days. f Ginny a Queen Anywhere Phil Spitalny and his mob of femme horn tooters may take their “Hour of Charm” radio program to Hollywood and make a full length movie a la Kay Kyser’s “That's Right, You’re Wrong.” And speaking of Prof Kyser, he and his honey-voiced Ginny Simms were crowned King and Queen of Winter Sports at Lake Placid. ... In ttiis writer’s humble opinion, Ginny Simms could be crowned queen of just about anything, anywhere. Saw her in San Francisco last sum mer and she’s even sweeter in person than on the screen—if possible. Laugh Anyway 11 Might Ilt> Good Outstanding slip-up of sev eral popular big-time radio pro grams is too much playing to the studio audience while ne glecting the millions (the spon sor hopes) of sit-at-home listen ers. Many comedians feature too many gags only understandable to local listeners. Of course, this has a definite psychological ad vantage because there is un doubtedly a certain type of stay-at-home listener who is absent-mindedly reading the pa per or is too dumb to under stand the joke, but when he hears the studio gloops howling with glee, he grins, ha-ha’s, and thinks tlie comedian very funny. Mechanical Car men Alec Templeton’s n e w e s t phonograph record has the orig inal title, “Phonograph Record, Player Piano, and Carmen Lom bardo." Camen is just about as mechanical in his singing as a machine. He got so bad recently that Guy Lombardo ceased his brotherly favoritism and kicked Carmen out of the band’s vocal spot. . . . The “Hit Parade” con tract has been renewed for an other big year. Fan Talk (Continued From Page Tivo) pus is to be commended for its cooperation in responding to the cause. In contrast to the $18, or cold reception the drive received last year, so far the contributions have totaled almost $L>00. (Hint.) * ♦ * Just heard of something new and unusual.
