Theaters Offer Reduced Spring term registration cards Will now admit University of Ore gon students at the Mayflower and Heilig theaters at the same rate as high school students, announced Arthur Turner, city manager for the Western Amusement company. This ruling becomes effective Sun day, April 4. A 3 per cent city amusement tax, passed by the Eugene city council March 9, has resulted in a boost from 65 cents to 75 cents in the price of adult tickets. Although the cost for high school students is now increased from 50 cents to 55 cents, University students will pay 10 cents less than previously. Registration cards must be shown to take advantage of this reduced rate, emphasized Turner. Chil dren’s prices will remain the same. Regarding the University of Oregon’s position in connection with the city amusement tax, re cently passed by the Eugene city council, Lyle Nelson, director of information, stated, “The Uni versity was represented at the council meeting and stated that they would not pay unless they were directed to do so.” NO di rective has been received by the University.” General admission prices for matinees will be raised from 50 cents to 55 cents. Evening prices 'The Professor's Umbrella' (Continued from page tivo) final lecture to his favorite class: “Why have these books been put on your reading list? To torture you? To bore you to death ? “The student who by some miracle fails to pass Survey but who somewhere along the line begins to grasp the reason why the course is required has taken a step far ahead of the student who contrives to pass without opening a book. Cheat ing at solitaire isn’t very rewarding and after all the most important game each of us plays is a form of solitaire ...” ‘Thought-provoking’ is again the best term to describe several of the sidelights on the variegated forms of anti Semitism and ignorance that dot the minds of so-called modern, intellectual people. The inability of many to get it straight that Jews can truly be distinguished only by their religious convictions (phenonema rather difficult to disting uish) is tellingly shown in one scene where an old love of Kitner’s tells about her thoughts as she had prepared the first dinner for him at her home. “I expected you to ask me if everything was kosher. I’d walked my feet off to find kosher corned beef, and then you turned out to be just another person.” “I know how you felt,” said Gregory. “When I was five my father took me to Chicago to see the Cubs play. I’ll never forget my disappointment. I'd been looking forward to seeing those cubs. . It serves to remind of the time this reviewer watched a - newsreel showing life aboard a ship whose passengers were desperately trying to reach Palestine, and a lady next to us unconsciously exclaimed, “But are all those people Jews? They don’t look it.” Campus life is feelingly dealt with in “The Professor’s Um brella.” The reality with which the book is impregnated would seem to make believable the popular supposition that Mary Jane Ward had a particular university in mind. She has lived most of her life in Evanston, Illinois, home of Northwestern University. Wonderful, mouth-watering ham burger patties on soft, fresh buns are a treat at any time.

General admission rates at the State theater will be boosted from 40 cents to 45 cents. The price of loge seats at the Mayflower theater will continue to be 15 cents above the price of admission. A raise in prices is necessary to meet the new city tax, Turner said. This tax, effective April 9, is in ad dition to the 20 per cent federal tax already assessed. Long Range Plans (Continued from page one) our present plant and expenditures over the past 25 years.” Appropriations made during the 15-year period, 1929 to 1945, were much less than funds allotted dur ing the two-year period from 1945 to 1947. Only $100,000 was specifi cally appropriated by the legisla tion for building during the years from 1929 to 1945. Plan Commended President Newburn’s plan was highly commended by the state board of higher education, accord ing to Nelson. It included an inven tory of present structures on the campus, an analysis of areas, and emergency and additional minimum needs for the University in Eugene. Nelson said this was not a plan looking to the future as much as one needed to meet present de mands of the large enrollment. Emergency needs were estimated at a cost of $3,500,000, with mini mum ten-year expenditures approx imately $5,275,000. Requirements The emergency requirements in clude an addition, estimated at $700,000, to handle overflow from the school of administration. Heat ing plant and tunnel development to take care of expansion will re quire $1,000,000 of the total. Last of the emergency plan was the science building, estimated at $1,800,000. Minimum needs the president listed in his long-range plan in cluded $550,000 for new structures and rehabilitation of the school of architecture and allied arts. A $400,000 similar project was ap proved for the journalism school. Also in the ten-year plan is an addition to the men’s physical edu cation building, $150,000; addition to the infirmary, $225,000; new housing for offices now in Emerald hall, $600,000; an ROTC armory, $300,000; and $700,000 for a wom an’s physical education building. Additions to Condon and Chap man halls were approved at $650, 000. Completing the long-range program were general moderniza tion, rehabilitation, and remodeling of old buildings at $1,000,000; addi tions to present utilities, particu larly lighting, for $150,000; and land acquisitions totaling $550,000. The land acquisitions will extend the campus eastward to Agate street and north to Franklin boule vard, including 47 lots. This list includes “only the most pressing items needed during the period indicated,” according to President Newburn’s letter. Permanent structures now at the University are valued at $4,204, 158.58, according to the inventory, which was taken in March of this year and submitted to the board by President Newburn. Temporary structures reach an amount slightly over half the cost of the permanent buildings, making a to-1 tal of $6,550,942.80 for all buildings that house the University of Ore gon. In an analysis of classrooms, lab oratory, and office areas, it was shown that there are 115 square feet per student is 155 as recora set-up. Average number of square feet ptr student is 155 as recom mended by the President’s com mission on higher education, of which President Newburn was a member. Mary Spiller and McClure halls will be removed, according to the inventory, rt lists Commerce, Con don, Journalism, Oregon, Villard, and the heating plant as structures to be reconditioned or converted and provided with an addition. Neither the emergency nor ten year building plan recently ap proved is connected with the pres ent building program. This in cludes work on the library, music school, and drama department.
