SUSPENSION IS FOR YEAR Innocents to Revive Colorful Tradition in Future. Goulding States. Competitive decoration of fra ternity and sorority houses on Homecoming day, a custom of many years standing on the cam pus and one of the most attrac tive leatures of the day, will be temporarily abandoned for this year, according to an announce ment made yesterday by the In nocents society. The society, a senior honorary for men, which sponsors the evsnt annually, stated that after much deliberation on the matter it was decided not to go ahead with the usual plans for decorations. The suspension is not permanent, how ever, but applies only for this year. "Tho financial troubles which most of the houses on the campus are experiencing and the need for economy wherever possible makes it imnprative that we discontinue the practice of decorating houses on Homecoming aay, ojiwi Goulding, president of the Inno cents declared. "This tradition will not be al lowed to die, however," he contin ued. "When the fraternities and sororities again feel that thay really can afford such projects, I am sure that the Innocents society will plan a Homecoming day as popularly decorated and as color ful as there ever has been on the campus." The statement was made by the society that the practice would be dropped for the year after a num ber of organizations had requested information concerning plans for the day. Members of the society, after consultation with a number of faculty men, were unanimous in their decision to drop the plans lor this year. The custom in past years has been that the various fraternity and sorority houses on the campus would decorate their houses in competition and in honor of their returning alumni or the football opponent for the day. The Inno cents society sponsored the affair, provided judges, and awarded prizes to the winning houses. Houses were limited to a set sum to spend in decorating their resi dences.
