Students Seek
Recognition of
Fraternities
At a meeting o fthe Willamette
university student body this morn
ing, the associated students unan
imously endorsed plana for a petl
tion that is to be presented to the
annual meeting of the board of
trustees in this city on February
4th, petitioning them to sanction
fraternities and sororities on the
Willamette campus and to grant
such fraternal organizations the
privilege of applying for national
charters. The petition was pre
sented at the studefU body by
I.oren Hosier, president of the
Sigma Tau local fraternity.
Two years ago and again last
spring, similar petitions were sub
mitted to the board of trustees, and
in each instance definite action was
deferred, some of hte members of
the board of trustees, it is salti. was
in doubt as to the advisability of
permitting fraternities on the cam
pus of Willamette university.
Since the presentation of these
petitions to the board of trustees,
four fraternities and two sororities
have been established on the
campus, and it is believed that the

In glancing over the record of

Citrus Fruit
Growers Ask
Tariff Levy
Orange and Lemon
Men Appear Before
House Committee
Requesting Tariff
Washington, Jan. 21. Grow
srs of oranges, lemons and onions
appeared today before the house
ways and means committee to ask
protection in the revision of the
permanent tariff law.
While asking for a duty of two
cents a pound on lemons ami one
cent on oranges, spokesmen said
they sought only an equality in
production costs which they be
lieved would recede here and in
crease abroad. Onion growers ask-
d duties ranging from 1 i cents
to two cents a pound.
O. S. Powell, of the California
Citrus league expressed the belief
that a reduction in transporta
tion charges in the United States
could be expected. Shipping rates
for Italian lemons and Spanish
onions are very low, he said, due
to a lack of cargo moving to the
United States from those coun
tries. Shipping companies either
had io make low rates or see their
vessels return to th United States
in ballast, he said.
