Presence of SDX
At U.O. No Joke,
Says BM OC Prexy
"SDX does exist on this campus, and the present effort to
treat it as a joke is the lowest possible blow to good student jour
nalism/’
That was the opinion of BMOC President Johnny Arthur in
i cicasing rne names ot the
men of Sigma Delta Chi, out
lawed, undercover, illegal jour
nalism fraternity.
Arthur’s comment was aimed
chiefly at the present flood of ban
ner lines, mastheads, headlines,
and efforts of unofficial and high
ly unauthoritative spokesmen to
make light of the outlawed secret
group known as Sigma Delta Chi.
In releasing the names Arthur
commented that "these 25 notor
ious infamous men must not be
dealt with lightly. Severe punish
ment must be handed out to those
who seek to control journalism on
the campus.^
“Shocking” Facts
“I could give you some facts
that would shock you,” Arthur
screamed. “In fact I will give
you some facts that will shock
you.
“Nearly every publication on the
campus today is thoroughly infil
trated with members of SDX—
yes even some of the top positions
are held by SDX members.
“Look at the Emerald. Even the
editor, whose name is (name with
held by editor) is a member.
Names Listed
“It pleases me greatly to release
these names,” Arthur said with a
sadistic gleam in his eye. “I’ve
waited a long time for this. Many
years of work by students and fa

Campus SEX
Gets Approval
K-l-L-L Murders
Pres. B. K. Sunburn
1 wenty five University students Wednesday were put on
probation for the voluntary murder of President Barry K. Sun
burn and other assorted members of the Oregon faculty
The students, member of a secret subversive society, Kappa
Iota Lambda Lambda (KILL), may not hold any elective AS
UO offices in the future.
However, Donald Shoeshine, director of Student Affairs, said
that this restriction may be waived in certain cases, although the
L.O., he explained, does not treat lightly' the serious implications
of the case.
"In the future," Shoeshine asserted, “if this mass manslaugh
ter is repeated the students will be subject to possible expulsion."
Funeral services will be held Saturday with members of
KILL acting as honorary pallbearers.

Truman Group
Wins as Castle
Jazz Dropped
Larry Truman, his piano and his
orchestra, have been signed to play
for the annual Motor Boat Ball
this year, a spokesman for the
honorary said yesterday.
Former announcement that the
Castle Jazz Band would perform
at the affair aroused so much ad
verse comment from campus con
servatives that the select senior
women felt obliged to make the
change.
Truman, who comes from a long
line of musicians, broke into the
big-time a decade ago in Kansas
City when he gave up his job in
a clothing store to play at the
Muelbach Hotel. From there he

If Cal, Southern Cal, Stanford,
and Pepperdine can do it, why oh
why can’t we?
The question was answered with
a forthright “no comment” yes
terday when Dean of Girls Toldya
Flickham announced that hence
forth, “if you’ll all promise to be
good little boys and girls, and not
get into any trouble, closing hours
for women’s organizations will be
3 o'clock both Friday and Satur
day.
“After all, if you want these
kiddies to act like adults, one must
treat them as if they were, must
n’t one?” the kindly dean inquired.
No one answered, so she went
on.
“We do not see how anyone can
but fail to doubt that no Univer
sity of Oregon student can be con
sidered anything but not un
adult,” she gurgled, “so we are
changing closing hours to 3 o’
clock.”
Student reaction was varied.

The existence of SEX on the
University of Oregon campus
has been sanctioned by the Of
fice of Student Affairs, Director
Donald M. Shoeshine, disclosed
Wednesday.
“There has been a great need
for such a thing as this at Ore
gon, and students have been
clamoring for recognition for
nigli on to sixty-nine minutes,”
Mr. Shoeshine said.
SEX is eo-educational, allow
ing even people to participate.
The meetings are so designed as
to advance the latest theories,
practices, and records. Anyone
having a 2.00 GPA last term,
and an accumulative GPA of
2.00 or better may petition for
membership. Students must be
prepared to supply their own
equipment.
SEX is nationally recognized
and has entered many campuses
throughout the United States.
Its existence has been lauded by
many educators as “having ad
mirable moral and spiritual
qualities that provide an excel
lent outlet for severe scholastic
discipline.” (TRANSLATION:
It's good for those who have
been hitting the books too
much.)
Sigma Epsilon Chi is the only
national fraternity for pliorno
graph record collectors. The
first meeting of the organiza
tion has been called in the Doug
las Room of the University Li
brary at 6:30, Wednesday, May
31. The program for the even
ing will include the Overture to
Euryanother.. a ii d Bea form's
Ninth Symphony for the bobsled
and three tom-cats.

Dogfall Cements Relations
At a recent Inter-Cell Council
meeting, Viril S. Dogfail, Director
of Men’s Affairs with Women, pre
sented a 93 point program which
he said might help Cell presidents
cement relationships both inside
and outside living organizations.
Dogfail said the rules would not
be binding in any way, either now
or in the future.
Since the rules are only sug
gested, expulsion from school for
Cell presidents is the token dis
ciplinary action he promished for
those disregarding his program.
If the University had any policy
regarding the suggested rules, the
insurgents would be reprimanded
and forced to sign a confession.
The rules include:
1. Women not allowed in under
graduate sleeping porches unless
accompanied by someone.
2. Guests must be dingerprinted
and have a blood test taken at the
DOMAWW’s office before enter
ing cell-bloc.
3. No Republicans or Democrats
allowed to share the same sleeping
porch.
4. Member of subversive organi
zations must petition via channels
for lower bunks.
5. No dirty thoughts allowed in
member’s rooms.
6. Students attending dances in
the cells must be dressed, either
formally or informally.
7. Waterbags must be inspect
ed and stamped with the great
Seal of DOMAWW.
8. Whiskey bottles with notes
will not be thrown through any
one’s window, unless the bottle is
full and the note is glued on the
outside.
