The latest of the numerous petitions
which have recently been going the
rounds OF the university for the sigma
lures of students and faculty is one
asking congress for favorable consider
alton OF the measure known as the
Observation-Disclosures bill. now before the
house, III the Interest of fraternity and
college Journals. The object of this bill
IS the amendment of the postal laws of
the United States in such manner as
to settle the classification of these Jour
nails. Under the present law such
Journals cannot be admitted to the
mails Ike other newspapers, as second
class matter at one cent per pound. but
must go as third-claSS matter at one
cent copy of two ounces or less
eight to sixteen cents per pound or
more. Thes journals are supported
by at least 100000 voters, and this
measure ought to be passed looking
to their relief from what-in view
of the rights accorded other newspapers
-muSt be admitted to be an unjust and
needless burden, which means ineyita-
Die annlhilatiOn to them and serious
consequent Inconvenience to all mem.
berS of the societies and Institution,
which they represent. The students of
the university are greatly interested in
this matter, and the petition is being
largely signed by the voters among both
