TO 6. 0. P. CLUB
Former Congressman Address
es University Republican
Organization.
MONTE MUNN, GRADUATE
STUDENT, ALSO SPEAKS
Frank W. Mondell, former con
gressman from Wyoming and per
manent chairman of the Republican
National Convention in June, ad
dressed a meeting of the University
Republican Club yesterday in the
Temple Theater. Mr. Mondell, con
gressman for twenty-five years and
Republican majority floor leader for
eight years, gave a brief history of
the Republican party and stressed
the activity of university men and
women in political affairs.
Speaking of Republican policies, he
"We have nothing to regret.
We could take all he platforms the
party has ever had and pledge our
selves to them now."
"All classes of our people must
take an interest in political affairs,"
he declared. "We cannot hope ' to
have our political problems settled
from the standpoint of reason and
secure the election of candidates with
sound views unless they do. Particu
larly should those who have had the
opportunity and disposition to seek a
thorough education interest them
selves in campaigns, problems, and
candidates."
Mr. Mondell expressed his regrets
that among the slackers and stay-at-home
voters were listed many who
had had the education which should
qualify them for the proper discharg
ing of these duties of citixenship.
In speaking of the Democratic
party and its candidates, he said,
"Everyone knows how foolish is Mr.
Bryan's endorsement of bi-metallism.
Some of the other things talked up
by the Democrats are almost as ri
diculous, such as the free silver
standard and the tariff. As to the
tariff, even under the most favorable
conditions it cannot do what is claim
ed for it With the exception of the
Cleveland and Wilson administrations
we have had Republican presidents
and for the most part Republican
parties, which should be proof that
the tariff is not what is talked up
to be."
TelU of Tariff Policy.
"The Republican policy of tariff
has always been one of protection for
those things which need it," he add
. ed. "If there is anything vitally
wrong with that policy, surely the ad
ministrations of Lincoln, Grant, Gar
field, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, and
Harding would have discovered i
and remedied it But instead the
country has steadfastly continued to
grow and in no place on the face of
the earth will be found people with a;
hifeh a standard cf living as those of
the United States."
Mr. Mondell bitterly assailed Mr.
LaFollette and held him up as one
who condemned everyone and every
thing, one who shouts that the whole
country is on the rocks of despair
and then points to himself as the
great cure-all, saying, "If you will
take my pill you will get well."
Citing the great national debt
when the Republicans took over the
administration in 1921, he said,
"When the Republican party took
over the administration in 1921,
there was a great national debt And
during this administration that debt
has been reduced more in four years
than in all the time between the
Civil War and the year 1921."
Monte Munn, who graduated from
the University of Nebraska in 1922,
also spoke. Mr. Munn is a candidate
for election to the House of Repre
sentatives of the State Legislature
from the thirty-fifth district He
praised the students of the Univer
sity for their loyalty on ail accaaions.
He especially advocated that all stu
dents register for voting within the
next week.
Frank Johnson, '25, president of
the Republican club, was chairman cf
the meeting.

"SNEAK NIGHTS"
TO BE STOPPED
Committee on Student Organi
zations Conducting Inves
tigation on Parties.
FRESHMEN BROKE TWO
UNIVERSITY RULINGS
Actions will be taken by the com
mittee on student organizations to
penalize freshman groups in fratern
ities and sororities who have been vi
olating University rulings by holding
mixed parties on week nights. A
number of groups have been reported
as having given such parties and in
vestigation is being carried on to de
termine the other groups which are
liable to penalty.
Two University rulings for which
men and women alike are responsible
to the effect that no parties shall be
held except on Friday and Saturday
nights and that all parties shall be
scheduled in the office of dean of
women where the names of the chap
erones must be submitted have been
violated by several groups.
The women have also violated two
Women's Self-Governing Association
rules which forbid freshmen to have
engagements on week nights and
which require all women to be in
their houses at 10:30 o'clock.
Parties have been held by fratern
ity and sorority groups on week
nights, unchaperoned and lasting un
til after 10:30. Picnics and dinner
followed by dancing have been given
by many of the groups on what is
known as their "freshman sneak
nights."
A few such occurrences came be
fore the attention of the committee
last year but nothing was done about
the matter because the offenders
had been severely penalized by the
individual groups.
The committee will meet on
Wednesday to decide upon the pen
alty they will set upon those who
have violated the rules.
