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.

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.)
