Chi Delta Phi, Literary Honorary, Organizes Chapter About 20 women students at tendee! the organizational meeting of the chapter of Chi Delta Phi, na tional literary honorary, Tuesday night. P. W. Souers, head of the Eng lish department, told the group that he would back Chi Delta Phi on campus. He said the honorary in a respectable erne, based on scholarship. The advantage of a national group Souers said, is that it opens ways of contacting people in other universities with similar interests. Miss Bernice Rise, browsing room librarian, read a letter from the national president and chap tcrian, which urged the University of Oregon to start a chapter. She told of the founding of Chi Delta Phi in 1919 at the University of Tennessee. Among its other chap ters arc these at Ohio State, the University of Kentucky, the Uni versity of North Carolina, and Stephens college. The group decided its functions here would include discussion of creative writing of the members, promotion of the campus literary magazine's publication, contribu tions to the browsing room work shop and helping bring speakers on writing to the campus. SU Board {C ontiimcd from putic otic) on a voluntary, unpaid basis, but this solution was considered un workable by the board since a lim ited number of men were willing to volunteer for such work. Under previous interim authorization, the movie committee is hiring laboi this term, the funds coming from its miscellaneous budget. Plans to install a permanent loudspeaker system for calling out order numbers in the soda bar were outlined by Union Director Ft. C. Williams and the board indi cated approval. A temporary loud speaker set up during the high school basketball tournament was found beneficial. Williams told the board. Two special committees were ap pointed by Chairman Hillicr. One, to evaluate the SU activity pool, will be headed by Maggie Powne, with Donna Buse, Clyde Fahlman, Don Zavin and Hillier as members. A second committee, to study the board's perpetuation plan with an eye to potential conflicts with the proposed student forum plan, will be headed by John Sabin, as sisted by Ted Takasumi, Gretchen Grondahl, Barbara Howard and Donald M. DuShane, director of student affairs. Possible conflicts lie in the fact that the forum plan calls for ex officio and faculty members on the forum committee, to be appointed by the union board. The perpetua tion plan calls for use of the peti tioning procedure to fill all com mittee positions. Board members also foresaw the possibility that some persons useful as members of the forum committee might con ceivably hold ASUO elective of fices, which would disqualify them from committee membership under the present perpetuation plan. c z Coming Soon Helen Jackson <Continued from faejc one) there were almost no men on cam pun.
