Legal As Long As Educational—That $2 Fee
/'VNE of the most-asked questions since the
state board’s adoption of the $2 compulsory
fee for educational activities is the one of how
the legality of the move was decided. With the
demise of compulsory fees several years ago in
a storm of referendum ballots still alive around
the state it is only natural that such a question
should arise.
It is certain that before such a move was con
templated the board knew what it was doing.
Before the campaign began which ousted com
pulsory fees its proponents did the same. They
went to the attorney-general of the state, who
returned a ruling that compulsory fees of the
type then in use could not be defended as con
stitutional. Then the matter was forced to a
head.
The board this time has done the same thing,
or someone did it. At any rate the ruling was
found, and this time the declaration was to the
effect that if the activity for which the fee was
levied was educational then its collection was
legal. Under these terms the state system has the
right to enforce any fee for educational activ
ities. In local quarters the ruling has the ap
proval and support of competent legal minds,
such as Orlando J. Hollis, assistant dean of the
Oregon law school, and member of the educa
tional activities board since its inception.
CCORDINGLY, the fee will be legal as long
as it is confined to educational activities.
But if it ever digresses from its defined field,
and there is no indication that it ever would,
it is likely to find itself on thin ice. Wince there
have been plenty of official promises that the
setup will remain the same as to administration
#
the promises will stand as insurance against the
thin ice mentioned.
There can be no doubt that cultural concerts,
the Emerald, forensics, and the other depart
ments covered by the new fee are educational
in character. There is no indication that the new
fee will include student body membership and
voting, although yesterday’s Barometer, Oregon
Htate college organ, carried an editorial declar
ing: “The tedious details of preparing rosters
of student body members every term will be
eliminated from the duties of associated student
officers. Every student will have a voice in elect
ing those officers who administer the students’
business.”
# * #
rJpilE Barometer edit leads off with: “The
state board of higher education took a long
step toward more democratic distribution of the
educational facilities of the college and univer
sity when it added $2 educational activities to
the regular term fee.”
As far as the legality is concerned, then, the
fee is safe as long as it goes toward the support
of activities educational.
It was for this reason that the ASUO execu
tive committee did not go on record as either
approving or disapproving the measure. It was
all over before it got to the committee, which is
limited to student government. The $2 being a
board policy affecting all units of the state
system the A8UO executive committee could do
little more yesterday than consider it for its own
information, and in anticipation of the problems
which will have to be worked out when the
change goes into effect.
The Gathering of the Clan—-The Fourth Estate
^JpiII'j Oregon Press conference of the Oregon
Press association opens its twenty-second
annual session here today.
In a war-torn, nervous world, beset with
modern economic problems, facing tlm challenges
of the modern competitors of newspapers, and
with elections just around the corner, the, editors
and publishers should find plenty of lively topics
for discussion. The annual conference has always
found plenty to talk about, which is one of the
things that make it one of the most successful
in existence, as it is one of the oldest.
Recognized all over the country as one of the
best state conventions of of newspaper men, the
annual Oregon affair is successful largely be
cause it remains undivided, despite the fact that
tlic interests ol' the biami little papers grow
farther and farther apart.
* #
OUT, while the big papers grow bigger and the
•small sheets more numerous, mutual inter
est, respect, and fellowship have bridged the
gap, and most of the papers in Oregon will be
represented here today and tomorrow.
'I'lie press conference, its continued success
both from the standpoint of interest and pro
gress, is one of the strongest reasons for the
high quality of journalism in the state of Oregon
as compared to that in other state. Development
is one of the prime results of existeqee, and
state journalism, which is broadening through
the years, shapes its development to a large
extent through these annual gatherings.

Cruising
By ALYCE ROGERS
When they built the library,
they forgot to put enough seats
in it . . . too bad. And it's get
ting so congested, they should
install stop and go signs in the
aisles. The traffic is so fast,
many students have reported
catching colds from the drafts
created by the pledges sweeping
by (on their way out to get a
drink, have a cigarette, meet
Jos or Jean, show off the new
outfit, or to have a snappy little
game of bridge in the upper
hall.) . . . All in all, the libe is
to many but a temporary halt
ing place before continuing on
down to the Side.
And we’ve just located a story
about the Beta house prexy,
Walt Miller. It seems he made
a midweek date with one Alpha
Chi freshman. She left her even
ing art class early to meet him
in the cemetery but he was late
—or forgot—and she froze until
10 p.m. waiting. And then Walt
spent a good thirty minutes on
the telephone trying to appease
her.
“Little" I’hil Barrett, Theta
Chi, just planted his pin on Al
vera Maeder, Hendricks hall.
I-Iis only comment was that it
didn’t happen in the dark. . . .
And another Theta Chi, Merle
Hanseom, the one with the beau
tiful eyes, is doing a lot of pig
ging in the Delta Gamma house
with cute Maxine Ilanson,
* * *
Military Ball plans are going
full force and the piggers better
get rolling. For those without
dates, just call “Cue-Ball,” he
knows all the girls who sit home
weekends.
Once predicted Les Ander
son’s DU pin on Mary Ann Fox,
Pi Phi, but it looks as though
he has some pretty stiff com
petition before such a realiza
tion. Friday night, she will be
with Phil Sinnott, Phi Psi, who
also dates Marthella Glover;
then Saturday it’s Les; but Sun
day she will be seen with A1
Silvcrnail, Chi Psi. (Looks like
M. J. Shaw has a rival—in num
bers. )
# r *
Again the graveyard . . . Fiji
Boh Millspaugh's car got stuck
in the mud there the other night
and it created quite a riot when
Nancy at last got back to the
Theta house.
Mary Harvey, ADPi, has been
the recipient of orchids and
roses lately, and soon it will
probably be his pin . . . Jack
Burton, Delt. . . . Ann Gardner
of the same tong has an OSC
Delta Chi pin. . . . And Itae
Vulgainore has a diamond from
someone back home.
BITS: Bette Morfitt, Kappa,
has Chuck Coffin's Sigma Alpha
Epsilon pin . . . Eleanor Collier,
Pi Phi, no longer has Fred Fil
lers’ Sigma Nu pin but they arc
still keeping company. . . . Ru
mor has it the Delts are quiet
this term; merely whistle at the
Tri Delts as they pass by. . . .
Another neat couple seen around
is Helen Jane Kerr, Theta, and
Warren Finke, Beta.
Ellouise Gunn, Alpha Phi, is
having quite a time by herself
trying to decide between her
two ex-pins, Johnny McGowan,
Beta, and recently - returned
Scott Corbett, Phi Delt, and a
third, a Portlander. Must be
great to have so many men at
one’s feet . . . and such desir
able ones too.
Libe Has Classes
Pity the poor librarians! Thirty
two sections of English Composi
tion classes are being initiated into
the mysteries of the library within
the next few weeks at the rate of
three classes a day.
The
BAND
BOX
By BILL, MOXLEY
Glenn No Accident
Contrary to general opinion,
Glenn Miller’s arrival is not a
mushroom affair but rather the
result of many years of fore
thought and planning. During
the past ten years Glenn has
played and arranged for prac
tically every outstanding band
in the country. All this time he
was working out styles and ar
rangements which, he thought
would be successful when he
started his own band.
Glenn remembers the days
when he joined Ben Pollack's
band, after he had just graduat
ed from Colorado university. He
played beside Benny Goodman
and Gene Krupa in that outfit
and even in those days he played
real swing. Bix Beiderbecke
heard that Glenn was one of the
finest trombone “ride men” and,
after hearing Glenn himself, was
so sold on the youth that he
used him in the famous Beider
becke recording combo. Glenn
Miller’s sudden rise to fame is
really a logical ascent because
of the wealth of experience and
background that Glenn acquired
before embarking on his own to
astound the music world.
Johnny Started Young
Johnny Green’s musical ca
reer started at the age of three
when he became twisted up in
a gramophone while trying to
discover where the sounds came
from. (In case you're in doubt,
a gramaphone is nothing more
than a phonograph.)
Colonel Had the Answer
Favorite story of Budd Hu
lick, of Stoopnagle and Budd,
has to do with an incident that
occured while he and Colonel
Stoopnagle were touring in
vaudeville. An obstreperous
heckler was taunting them, giv
ing them the bird, and yelling
at them to get off the stage. “I
never saw two guys as dumb as
you,” he yelled from an upper
box. Budd then tells how Col
onel Stoopnagle stopped the
show and walked to the side of
the stage from which the heck
ler was yelling. “You know
what I’m going to do tomor
row?” he asked. The heckler
listened, mystified. “I won’t get
up until noon,” continued the
Colonel, “then I’ll have a bath
drawn by my valet and then
my chauffeur will take me for
a drive in the park. But you,
my friend, you’ll be up at seven
thirty and going to work!”
The audience applauded up
roariously and the heckler quiet
ed down for good.
‘Lopez Speaking’ From S. F.
Vincent Lopez is currently
playing at the Palace hotel in
San Francisco. He is on the air
every night about eleven o’clock
with his swell band. Lopez has,
in Penny Parker and Ann Bar
ret, a couple of top flight gal
warblers, Ann Barret being just
about as hot as her predeces
sor, Betty Hutton, who had a
reputation as America’s No. 1
jitterbug.
Bob Mitchell Like Orrin
Those who have heard Bob
Mitchell, who is going to hold
forth at the Military Ball, say
he sounds very much like Orrin
<;low-burtu**S

cigarette

THE C.ES'IL KY READY TO "HIGHBALL,” as they say in railroading! Engineer
Walter L. Bronson (above) swings up into the cab of Number 5449, one of the big

tween New York and Chicago in a day-in, day-out epic of modern railroad speed.
HERE'S EXTRA MILDNESS, EXTRA
COOLNESS, AND EXTRA FLAVOR,
and here’s why: Camels are slower-burning.
They have thoroughbred quality through and
through. Finer, more expensive tobaccos arc
used, in the first place. And these choice tobac
cos are combined into a matchless blend.
Smoke a Camel. Notice how slowly it burns.
That is your clue to true cigarette enjoyment—
the extras of mildness, coolness, flavor-and
— extra smoking in every cigarette. Camels *
burned 259c slower than any other cigarette in
recent tests (full details below). You’ll always
