STEWARDS DISCUSS
FINANCE TRODBLES
Meetinf of Fraternity Officer
Talk Over Method of
Improving System
A discussion group of fraternity
presidents and stewards, led by Mr.
C W. D. Kinsey, Sunday afternoon,
exchanged experiences and ideas in
regard to the financial policies of the
different organizations.
The gathering was the outgrowth
of several meetings of the city alum
ni of the various fraternities on the
campus. Investigation by alumni has
shown that there are certain fea
tures of fraternity finance that can
be improved by comparison of the
budgets of the organizations and. by
standardizing certain expenditures
that a considerable saving could be
made by the fraternities.
Plan Presented
Mr. Kinsey presented a plan fram
ed m the alumni meetings. A chart
has been compiled which includes
questions on house expenditures and
charges. The plan is to have each
house fill out the questionnaire and
return it to the alumnd in charge.
Prom this information it is hoped
that a standard budget may be pro
duced that may be used by all frat
ernities on the campus. The scheme
includes no obligations by the frat
ernity and the alumni wall act mere
ly an an advisory capacity.
is pointed out that a strong fin
ancial basis is a prime requirement
ior a strong fraternity.

presented at the meeting and much

OFFICERS OF BIG
SIX TALK RULES
Scouting and Transferring Are
Discussed ; Tabled for
Future Action
NEXT MEETING IN MAY
Non-scouting and non-transfer
were the two major rulings taken up
at the Big Six conference meeting
in Kansas City Friday. Both of
these items were tabled until the
May meeting in Lincoln, according
to Herb Gish, acting athletic direc
tor at Nebraska.
The non-transfer ruling is being
enforced in eastern athletic circles
and the officials of the Big Six will
pass judgment upon this in the
spring after the football fever has
completely died away. This non
transfer ruling was the rule that
made Bruce Caldwell of Yale inelig
ible the eve before the Yale-Princeton
clash. Nebraska lost a valuable
athlete this year because he had
competed in college athletics. Ac
cording to Gish it looks very proable
that the athletic officials of the new
conference will adopt this rule when
they hold their next meeting.
To Discos Scouting
The non-scouting ban will also
come up at the same time. This
rule was discussed at length during
the Missouri Valley meeting in St
Loui Saturday but no definite ac
tion was taken on the rule. Gish
intimated that the non-scouting rule
may be left out of the Big Six by
laws when the directors convene
