Program Highlighted
By Schumann Group
The Walter Schumann Choral
group, over 20 specially picked
and trained voices, plays an im
portant role as a “fourth charac
ter” in the forthcoming Civic
music presentation, “John Brown's
Body,” to be given Monday, Oct.
19, in McArthur court.
Buildings, Professors Salaries
Not Only Use of Student Fees
by Laura Sturges
Emerald Editorial Assistant
The $55 that University students
pay for tuition each term goes for
more than paying professors’ sala
ries and putting up new buildings.
■These student fees also provide for
a wealth of campus activities, in
cluding SU dances, concerts, lec
tures and the Emerald.
Each student pays $4.50 of his
term’s fees into the Student Union
and educational activities fund,
from which appropriations are
doled out for various programs
and boards. On the basis of an en
rollment of 4000, the fund receives
about $54,000 annually in activity
fees.
Board Handles
Before the fall of 1949, the fees
and activity programs were ad
ministered by an Educational Ac
tivities board, which was disband
ed when the Studenf Union was
built.
Activities formerly handled by
the Educational Activities board
were then placed under the juris
diction of three new areas—-the
Publication board, the Student
Union board an SU director.
The Publications, or “Pub,”
board took over the advisory posi
tion to the university president
for such campus publications as
the Oregon Daily Emerald, the
Oregana yearbook and the Pig
gers’ Guide, the student directory.
The board also interviews candi
dates for editor of the Ore-N-ter,
an annual handbook for new stu
dents. A university committee
makes the final selection of the
handbook editor.
The Emerald now receives $9,275
as its annual share of the educa
tional activities fund. (The campus
daily was allotted only $1,800 in
1941.) The balance of publication
costs of the paper must be met
by the Emerald's advertising and
subscriptions.
Others Self-supporting
No student fees go to the Ore
gana or Piggers’ Guide, which are
both self-supporting from adver
tising and sales. The Ore-N-ter is
financed from other administrative
funds.
Part of the activity fee enables
university students to attend vari
ous concerts sponsored by the Eu
gene-University Civic Music asso
ciation throughout the year. Also
financed with student fees are the
Tuesday assembly speakers, the
forensics program in the speech
department, and the University
band, orchestra and choral groups.
Student government takes a
portion of student fees to pay the
salaries of the ASUO president
and secretary, and to finance the
ASUO Senate's projects, which
this year include distribution of
pamphlets to the freshmen ex
plaining the honor code.
Board Allots Funds
A large part of the activity pro
grams are presented through the
SU board, which is allotted $3,000
a year from the fund. The board
supplements this with income
from the Sunday movies and two
dances.
SU activities fall into one of ten
committees. The art gallery group
provides showings of the work of
national, local and student artists.
About six showings are featured
each term.
On Friday evenings, university
professors take the floor as guest
speakers in the Browsing room

Junior Weeftend and it’s co
partner, Mother's Day, will be
held May 14, 15 and 16 this year!
instead of the originally scheduled
dates of May 7, 8 and 9, the Stu
dent Affairs committee decided i
Thursday.
Two major factors influenced |
the committee to chfenge the
dates. The All-Campus Sing can I
not be held in McArthur court
this year, because the building will
be undergoing remodeling in prep
aration for the increased seating
Woman to Receive
Theta Sig Award
A “Woman of Achievement” j
selected from the University stu
dents will be honored by Theta
Sigma Phi, women’s national j
journalism honorary, at their an- j
nual Matrix table, Oct. 20. An !
outstanding Eugene woman will
also be honored by the group.
Speaker at the annual dinner
which honors women in journalism j
and letters will be Sister Mary
Gilbert, an instructor in journal
ism at Holy Name college, Spo-j
kane, Wash. Sister Mary Gilbert
attended Oregon as both an un-!
dergraduate and as a graduate
student.
She is the author of “The
Springs of Silence," an autobiog
raphy in which she includes a
chapter on her experiences on
campus. Several autographing
parties are being planned for her.
Reservations for the Matrix
table may be made at the school
of journalism, according to Kitty
Fraser, president of the sponsor
ing organization. The cost will be
53.50.
Harking back to ancient Greek
drama, this chorus reappears on
the modern stage to actually par
ticipate in the action. Always in
view of the audience, the chorus
provides dramatic musical accom
paniment, chanting the battle
songs of the Civil War and repre
senting such sounds as flowing
water, a storm, cannon and, in
the end, the diapason of hammer,
forge and lathe that mark the
birth of the machine age.
In addition to selecting and
training the chorus, Schumann al
sa stands as composer and ar
ranger for the entire choral score
for "John Brown’s Body.” Into
his own compositions he has wov
en such familiar melodies as “The
Battle Hymn of the Republic,”
"Dixie,” "Marching Through Ge
orgia,” "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home” and, of course,
“John Brown’s Body Lies A-Moul
dering in the Grave.”
capacity which is scheduled for
the 1954-55 basketball season.
Because of this, the Sing may
be held on Hayward field, accord
ing to Ray Hawk, director of
men's affairs and member of the
committee. The later dates may
also afford better weather for the
weekend, Hawk said.
“Breather” Granted
The second big factor in the
committee’s decision was that the
later date will give the campus a
three-week “breather” between
Duck Preview weekend and Jun
ior Weekend. Many students
thought that this was very desir
able, Hawk said.
Request for the change of date
came from the executive council
of the Oregon Mother’s club. They
objected because the original dateo
coincided with National Mother’s
day, and many felt that they
should spend the day at home,
rather than on campus.
Hawk stressed the point that
the committee’s decision was not
intended as a "precedent shatter
ing move.’’ In recent years, Jun
ior Weekend and Mother’s day
have been concurrent with the Na
tional Mother’s day, Hawk said.
Moving the dates does not mean
that the change will be permanent,
he said.
Schedule Changed
In other action taken at the
meeting, the committee granted
the University theater's request
that they be allowed to present
plays on the nights of the sopho
more Whiskerino and the Senior
ball. Previously, the committee
had declared the dates reserved
especially for the two dances, and
no other activities could be sched
uled for those nights.
Roy McCall, head of the speech
department, told th^ committee
that the theater would not con
flict with the dances as the shows
will attract mostly townspeople
on those nights, with students be
ing able to see the plays on other
production dates.
The committee also passed a
resolution concerning the funds of
now defunct campus organizations.
They voted to recommend to the
University president that the
money of the dead organizations
be turned over to the fund for
scholarships and financial aid.
Phi Theta, Kwama
Tap New Pledges
Five women were tapped Thurs
day night by Kwama and. Phi
Theta Upsilon, sophomore and
junior women’s honoraries.
Mrs. Golda Wickham, director
of women’s affairs, Valerie Cowls,

Kwama. New Phi Thetas are Ann
Hopkins and Jean Piercy.
