UPSET TRADITION
Aim Blow at Subscription Dances
Limit Expense of Formal
Parties
Will Not Send Flowers to Girl
Partners As Has Been Cus
tom of Past
Tt.c Inter-fraternity council of the
University of Nebraska has taken a
definite stand against so-called sub
scription parties, and will use Its in
fluence to boycott and discourage such
affairs in the future. The council also
went on record as being opposed to
undue extravagance in fraternity for
iiijilc. and limited the sum above which
the total cost should not go, to $150.00.
Ti o following resolution was passed
unanimously by the inter-fraternity
body at a meeting held Sunday after
noon: "Resolved, that the Inter-fraternity
council goes on record as bo
inp n posed to subscription dances
and fur as possible will discourage
the iittendanco of university men at
su-h dances." The measure adopted
by tlie council applies to all dances
nivon at down town halls by univer
sity people, and also to the dances
Livtn mid-week at public dance halls.
'Tlu experience of the past semester
has proved that" most of the class
hop!5 have lost money largely because
the university people have been at
tending subscription parties, and con
sequently have not supported the uni
versity parties as they should hove
done.
Action On Formal Parties
The expense of all fraternity formal
parties was limited, 'by the council,
to ll.10.no. The items to be included
in the list of expense have been de
fined as those incurred for music, hall,
decorations, entertainment, programs,
invitations, refreshments, favors, and
cab hire for chaperories. Other ex
penditures besides those mentioned
may be incurred beyond the extent of
the Jll'i.00 limit.
In other years it has not been unusu
al for formal affairs to cost as high
as five and six hundred dollars. The
action of the council at this time,
therefore, is a radical departure from
the practices of the past. The expense
of social affairs is so high this year
that the limit set by fraternity men
will make it impossible to enjoy other
features at theee parties beyond the
absolute necessities such as, hall, mu
sic, refreshments, and invitations.
Each fraternity will lo required to
prepare an itemized statement of ex
penses for each formal party, this to
lie handed to the president of the inter
fraternity council. If any member of
the council over-sjteps any of the rules
of the body .the organization shall
have power to revoke any charter, or
expel any members of a fraternity
from the university. The council
hold absolute power over all member
frat. -mines, and will enforce its dic
tum s to the limit.

coln from New York city. Jouvenat

lance Bcrvice at the beginning of the

FRANKFORTER HAY BE
R. 0. T. C. COMMANDANT
Former University Professor May
Accept Place if Transfer Can
Be Arranged .
Captain C. J. Frank fort or, formerly
a professor in the department of chem
istry, may be the next commandant of
the R. O. T. C. according to advices
received from Washington.
Chancellor Avery in accord with his
desire to have a former university
professor head the military organiza
tion, has recommemled Captain Frank
forter for the position, and a telegram
received by the chancellor Monday in
dicates his acceptance providing his
transfer can be arranged with tho war
department.
The R. O. T. C. unit will begin oper
ation with the opening of the second
semester and the presence of a perma
nent officer to start the program of the
military department is almost a ne
cessity. With this end in view the
war department is expected to an
nounce the assignment of a command
ant to the University of Nebraska
within a few days. Captain Philo M.
Buck has found it impossible to se
cure his release from the intelligence
division to return to the university.
Captain Frankforter. who is now In
the chemical warfare division, was for
a long time captain of infantry sta
tioned at Camp Grant. 111. He is pecu
liarly well fitted for the work, having
taken an unusually active interest in
the affairs of the military department
before his entrance into officers' train
ing camp.

sume his work in the department, and
will conduct a new course next semes-
er nn Europe
This work win De
pursued under the title of Geogrophy
3 It is opportune at this time, be
cause of the war just closed. As Pro
fessor Bengston has been in the gov
ernmental service this yast year he
has been In very close touch with the
Importapt European conditions and
Ith her changing geography. Th.s
course will also deal with the revis
ion of the European map. and will be
one of the most important classes con
ducted next semester, because: it con

RED CROSS WORKER
SPEAKS HERE TODAY
Miss Marie Gannon, Central Divis
ion, Talks at Convocation at
11 O'clock
To Explain System of Red Cross
Educational Course to Be
Instituted Soon
"This Is to be the foundation work of
the biggest educational program that
the American Red Cross haR ever laid
out." said Miss Marie Gannon of the
central division of the Red Cross head-
quarters In Chicago, in'an Interview at
the Lindell hotel last evening. 'Miss
Gannon will speak at convocation this
morning at 11 o'clock on the peace pro
gram of the American Red Cross and
the part American women will play In
it.
This movement Is of national scope
: , js developod largeIj. throngh the
American bureau of Red Cross, which j
includes divisions of home service, mil- j
itary relief, home nursing and many;
others. This bureau is under the di
rection of Miss Jane Delano, who was
in diarge of the recruiting of nurses ;
during the war and went "over the ;
top" with a record enrollment.
Nurses Have Broader Views
Miss Gannon believes that nurses
who have seen active duty will have a
broader idea of service upon their re
turn to civilian life and the American
Red Cross will act upon this prospect
by making it possible for every woman
in every community to take elementary :
hygiene and care of the sick under the 1
direction of a graduate nurse and to
be thus enabled to take the place of a ;
practical nurse in the home and in i
cases where it is impossible to secure :
better trained services. j
Although more than twenty-five 1
thousand nurses were trained in this
country and abroad during- the war,
Miss Gannon pointed out that many of
these women will be kept for some
time in military and reconstruction
work and that many others will be
needed to train younger nurses in hos
pitals. To Institute Red Cross Courses
The Red Cross hopes to put many
of these classes in the schools although
this will have to come about gradually.

The Drake affair Wednesday will
touch olT the spark which sets the
