Sigma Delta Psi To Reactivate Local Chapter Sigma Delta Psi, national ath letic honorary for men, will re activate a chapter on the Oregon campus, E. R. Knollin, professor of physical education, said yesterday. One of the largest chapters in the country was established here before the war brought about dis bandment. To be initiated into the frater nity, a college student must pass 20 different athletic tests includ ing track, field, swimming, ap paratus, and tumbling events. He must have a scholarship record meeting the requirements for competition in varsity sports. “To meet all the requirements, a student must be a man of splen did all-around physical develop ment,” Knollin said. "Sigma Delta Psi is to athletic ability what Phi Beta Kappa is to scholarship.” Since the tests require consider able training and instruction, a special PE course is being offered at 11 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until the local chapter is started. Fourteen students are now enrolled in the course. Bill Bowerman, head track coach, is a member of the former chapter. CVA Discussion Set for Tuesday Both sides of the Columbia Val ley Authority question will be aired at 7:30 p. m. today at a Young Democrat-sponsored discus sion in 207 Chapman hall.

Philip Drey er, state representative from Mult nomah county and a member of the Democratic National committee’s research division during last fall’s campaign', will speak for it. A film on the Columbia River and Western reclamation, pro duced by the Bonneville Power ad ministration, will be shown. “Our purpose in this program,” Bob Davis, state Young Democrat president explained, “is to intro duce this controversial issue to the campus and provide public dis cussion on it. “Our campus Young Democrat club is unanimously in favor of CVA—part of President Truman’s program—and intends to support it,” he concluded. Kirsch; Cohen On Radio Show Don Kirsch and A1 Cohen, coach and captain respectively of the Oregon baseball team were sched uled to discuss the coming season over “Webfoot Huddles” last night at 8.

The Usual Duel: USA vs. AGS •By Bob Funk This is the time of year when campus political messiahs gather together their straying lambs, in voke the aid of the Powers That Be with ponderous oratory, and set off on their own twentieth-cen tury crusades—whether it be for incorporated student government, a Bill Hayward memorial, or a five-cent beer. Spring elections promise to be interesting. In the past year, Greek bouses have beeen jumping politi cal fences like sheep in a politi cian’s nightmare; the indepen dents, not to be outdone, have amended their constitution making themselves politically impotent—• perhaps; and Greek bloc, like some reluctant leopard, has been slowly changing its spots. In the midst of the fray, politi cally ambitions Webfoots are pe titioning either the United Stu dents association or the Associat ed Greek students for a number of offices, which, slung together, make up the ASUO. Petitions Due The United Students associa tion, which generally includes members of six Greek houses and most of the independent voting strength, accepted petitions from political hopefuls up to April 9. Pe tions v/ere accepted by either the ASUO president’s office or any member of the USA steering com mittee. Later, USA will interview its candidates, make recommenda tions to a general assembly, accept nominations from the floor, and n due time make a final selection }f candidates. This will be ex tremely democratic, although rath er tough on the nerves of the par ticipants. On the other hand, AGS—Greek bloc—will deliberate on recom mendations made by Greek houses, and then enter into much the same process of Forthright Democratic Action practiced by USA. The AGS pro-and-con sessions will not end up in general assembly, but before a meeting of house repre sentatives. Among the various and sundry All Negro Frat Breaks Precedent WASHINGTON, April 11—(AP) Howard University’s Chi Delta Mu fraternity has broken a 33-year precedent by admitting to member ship a white student, 21-year-old Paul Guth of New York City.

Howard university has an enroll ment of approximately 7,000 stu dents, mostly negroes. Officials es timated there are about 10 white students. HOLY WEEK SERVICES ST.

Losers will find themselves elected to the offices of first and second vice-presidents—which is one of the pleasanter things about the two-party system at Oregon. Ev ery one gets something. Sophomore, junior, and senior representatives will be elected— two from each class. The represen tativs serve on the executive coun cil, and think up such things as the faculty-rating plan. Elections will be held for offi cers of the sopromore, junior, and senior classes, and prospective yell kings and Co-op board members will also find themselve on a po litical ticket. All in all, things will be exceedingly hectic. During the ensuing campaign, politicos will give each other the reproving glance and tonsil treat ment.
