add_options_page in a named function

I have to perform this action:

add_action('admin_menu', function(){
    add_options_page(
        'Submissions of MAIN page contact form', 
        'Submissions of MAIN page contact form', 
        'manage_options',
        'ea_submissions2', 
        news()
    );
});

In PHP 5.2 anonymous functions are not supported, so I made the following:

function news_opt(){
    add_options_page(
        'Submissions of MAIN page contact form', 
        'Submissions of MAIN page contact form', 
        'manage_options',
        'ea_submissions2', 
        news()
    );
}
add_action('admin_menu', news_opt());

And after that I got Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_options_page() error. What is the issue?

If you append (), you're calling the execution of a function. And it has to be passed as a string:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'news_opt' );

And 

add_options_page( ..., ..., 'news' );

The documentation for add_options_page and admin_menu would have shown that. When some WordPress function or hook doesn't work, always check if the Codex has useful information.
