Pan-Hellenic Vote
To Stop Publicity
The Pan-Hellenic association of
the University of Nebraska decided
to discontinue the policy of giving
publicity to sorority parties at a
meeting held in Ellen Smith hall
laat evening. This Is a result of
newspaper stories concerning such

events.
The reason for this action is be-
" cause of the following section In
the constitution of the organiza
tion: t. 'AH publicity to Pan-Hellenic
affairs is to be given out by chair
man only.
2. No publicity Is to be given to
sorority functions to which men
are Invited.
S. There .-hall be no newspaper
publicity given to rush parties.
4. No publicity to case of Pan
Hellenic trouble.
This action was not taken be
cause of the breach made by the
papers .rut because of the fact that
this section of the constitution had
been overlooked prior to UUa time,
