BETA TH ETA PI
We have been waging an ag
gressive war this year and are
having some excellent results. In
Eel a Theta Pi we are resolved to
stamp out these practices or' elim
inate the chapters which refuse to
comply.
You may be interested to know
that on the local campus the dis
ciplinary committee of the univer
sity placed a chapter on prona
tion for taking initiation practices
out of the chapter house and for
interfering with the normal sleep
nf the nledee.

Section 98 -Initiation ceremo
nies into the Fraternity shall be
limited by the respective chapters
(1) to reasonable probationary
measures not materially interfer
ing with a candidate's study or
class hours and not in excess of
one week duration; (2) to the tra
ditional YVooglin ceremony; (3) to
the fraternity examination and
(4) to the prescribed and printed
ritual of the fraternity. None of
the above shall be given ouisiue
of the chapter house or hall. All
probationary measures except as
above mentioned, and all horse
play, including (but without being
limited to) physical punishment of
any sort, efforts to inspire fear
and distasteful practices gcnei al
ly, are hereby forbidden; provided,
however, that any prevailing initi
ation practices conflicting with
the express provisions hereof may
be continued with the consent of

Faculty praises
Dr. Louise Pound
To find Dr. Louise round,
professor of English at the
University of Nebraska and
nmorrnw's convocation
.speaker, an authority on not
fine, but several subjects, and
the holder of tennis and golf
championships, was too much
to let slip by without looking
for more about this super
in-many fields" personality.
Mrs. Kate W. Jameson,
Hem of women, described Dr.
Pound as being a very clever
:md witty speaker and much
in demand as a public speaker
in the middlewest.
As a former student of the
F.nelish professor. Mrs. Ev
crett Davis, wife of the Ore
gon State extension specialist
in aericultural engineering,
vrmfirked that her classes
were exceedingly popular. At
the time Mrs. Davis tooK Eng
lish from Dr. round, the class
with about 100 students was
so large that it was moved
into the little theater of the
college to provide adequate
seating facilities.

Plans for an "honest and fool
proof" ASSC election will bo out
lined tonight at the Student Sen
ate meeting when the election
committee submits an entirely
new voting procedure to insure
fnir nlav in Thursday s re-eiecuon
of student body administrative
officers.
A nroiifiscd comolete reorgani
zation of voting procedure will be
submitted by the deeuons com
miitpe nnd this, if adopted by the
senate, will form the rules under
which the new election win oe
conducted.
The re-election, necessitated by
the student senate's rejection of
the March 30 election as mvana,
is scheduled for Thursday, accord
ing to Dave eNller, commissioner
of elections.
The invalid election, character
ized as a "black eye on the uni
versity," has necessitated the an
nouncement of strict faculty
supervision for the coming re-
voting. Only registered student
body card holders will be eligible
to vote in Thursday s election, ana
student body cards will te
punched before voters obtain their
ballots.
The senate hearing on election
irregularities was instigated after
charges .vere made of ballot stuff
ing, illegal voting, and ballot theft,
and a generally "disorganized and
unfair" (lection. The complaint
was submitted to the senate by
Cecile Ilallingby, Trojan Amazon
president.

Poison oak spoils fun
on weekend picnics
The university infirmary Is
rapidly becoming the day-after
meeting place for week end
picnickers. In fact, it is remi

Common infirmary scenery is
a sheet shrouded figure face

group of cheerless figures col
lected around the foot of the

Rubinoff charms
audience of 1,000
Rubinoff and his violin, aided
by duo-pianists Fray and Brag
g'iotti, charmed a crowd of over
1.000 persons in Gregory Gym
last night with a well played and
well received program of popular -
and light classical numbers, in
cluding many of his own compositions.
Above all, the concert proved
that Rubinoff is still the master
showman he was when in Austin
last spring. The Russian violinist
knows what the public wants and
doesn't hesitate to give it to them.
After he had finished the sched
uled part of the program, he be
came a gracious master of cere-
monies to play six encores.
I To Gov. W. Lee O Danicl. who
was not present, and to Victor
I Herbert, who gave him his start
i in America, Rubinoff dedicated
i Herbert's "Sweet Mystery of Life"
I from "Naughty Marietta." In
'making the dedication, the viohn
! ist explained that he understood
I Texas's new governor also played
the fiddle and that "Sweet Mys
tery of Life" was one of O'Daniel's
favorites.
Rubinoff also paused between
encores to pay tribute to the Aus
tin high school band, which he
conducted in rehearsal yesterday
afternoon and the members of
which were his curst s at tne con
ceit last night. He declared it was
one of the finest high school bands
he hnd seen anywhere and insisted
that the incnilx-rs take a bow be
fore the large audience. He in
vited all of them to come back
stage to sec him after the pcr-
f nrmnnee.
Sharing honors with Rubinoff
was the duo-piano team of Fray
and Bragciolti, who furnished
many of the evening's highlights.
Kspecially good was their rendi
tion of Ravel's "Polero." and
Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue."
