FRATERNITY VIOLATES
RULESJS PENALIZED
ALPHA TAU 'OMEGA DIDN'T OBEY
80CIAL REGULATIONS.
WILL BE NO PARTIES UHTILL EASTER
Committee on Student Organizations
Imposes Penalty for First
Time 8lnc Issuing
Rules.
On account of tin; violation by Alpha
Tan Omega or tlio university regula
tions governing social affairs, that fra
ternity will not be allowed to hold
any houso parties at which women nre
present until after the Easter recess.
This is the first penalty imposed by
the committee on social regulations
Hlncc the promugatlon of the social
rules laBt fall.
Tho committee has had tho report
ed violation under consideration slnco
prior to tho Christmas recess, and It
is said to havo noted with all due re
luctance. The commltteo hna not
w ished to enforce drastic penalties,
but 1J. is Btatod that in the present case
no other course was left open.. The
resolution of tho commltteo as ap
proved by tho chancellor follows;!
"Alpha Tau Omega fraternity is pro
hibited from giving any parties whore
women are entertained at tho chapter
houso until after the Easter recess,
and this action is to bo published in
the Dally Nebraakan."
Co-operation, Not Penalties.
"The commltteo desires tho co-operation
of tho students," Bald Miss En
sign, acting adviser to women and n
momber of tho committee, yesterday.
'Wo do not wlBh to enforco what are
really only ordinary conventions of
society by menns of penalties and
withdrawals of privilege. There have
boon several minor violations of the
rules roportod to us which wo havo
overlooked when we assured oursolvoB
that tho mlBtako was duo to mero ig
norance or carelessness. In tho future,
however, each organization should ac
quaint Itself with tho features of tho
rules so that no further penalties may
bo necoBaarx."
Tho commltteo bus Bent .out letters
to tho student organizations again
calling their attention to the rules pro
mulgated last fall. The letter is as
follows:
"In October a copy of tho enclosed
letter was mailed to each student or
ganization. "The acknowledgement of this let
ter which was requested In order that
tho commltteo might know that the
information convoyed was In tho pos
session of those concorned, was only
made by oloven or tho flfty-two organ
izations notified.
Some Infractions.
"During tho past fow wooks thoro
havo. been several Infractions of the
above mentioned university rulings.
Those havo Boomed to occur through
thoughtless nogllgonco and havo not
been regurded as serious, but taken
in tho aggregate It now appears ovl
dont that they aro expressions of tho
failure op, tho. part 6t many students
to rooqgnlzo tho Blgnlflcanco of such
acts.
"It has seemed wise to tho univer
sity authorities to formulate certain
rulings for tho guldanco of its student
organizations, which, as recognized
parts of tho univoralty body, aro re
sponsible to It In proportion as lt 1b
responsible for thorn.
"The failure on tho part of some of
those organizations to comply with
univoralty rulings has been a viola
tion of university law. -
"It is the belief of tho committee
that Uicao acts havo boon as before
wtatod, tho result, in tho main, of
thoughtlessness. Tho roBulta of this
thoughtlessness on unlyqrslty law and
ordor papnot, however, fall to ho
gravely detrimental ,,nd cannot con-
tlnuo to be lightly condoned by tho
authorities.
"The foregoing explanation Is made
to you In order that you may bo able
to thoughtfully and Intelligently co
operate with tho university In work
ing for Its beat Intoreata. Any failure
on your part In the future to comply
with university rullngB can only be
Interpreted as a wilful disregard of
university authority."
The letter referred to In tho pre
ceding was a short statement of tho
rules governing social affairs at the
university. These rules limited soclnl
functions to Friday and Saturday
evenings and limited the time of uni
versity parties to 12 p. m. Thoy also
contained provisions for official chap
crones at university parties and sot
tho chancellor's reception as preced
ing all other univoralty functions.

FOR SENIOR PRESIDENT
TWO ENQINEER8 WANT JOB FOR
SECOND 8EME8TER.
A CAUCUS IS A POSSIBILITY
Engineers May Decide to Present a
United Front to Academics
and Laws If They Have
Candidate.
With four wooks yet remaining bo,
foro tho opening of tho second somoa
tor nnd a couplo moro boforo tho
holding of tho first clasB elections, tho
political pot is already beginning to
boll In at least ono Instance. Two
Bonlors aro already out for tho presi
dency of that clasB Tor tho second
Bomester and other candldatos are
likely. In the throe lower classes no
public announcements havo yot been
made, but It 1b understood that the
nominations will not go uncontested.
Tho enrly activity in tho senior
class promises a lively campaign be
fore tho cloao of Its course. Not in
sevornl yourB paBt have tho candi
dates mado Btich an oarly start on
tholr canvass. Tho men so far an
nounced nro W. A. Jones and Jesse
Clark, both engineers nnd both of
South Omaha. Jones Is a momber of
Delta Epsllon and Sigma Tau fratornl
ties and or tho Innoconta. Clark la a
Kappa Sigma. Ho haa had aovoral
committee placea during hlB three
years In school.
May Have Caucus.
Tho candidacy or these two men Is
peculiar In several ways. Not the
least Interesting feature la tho fact
that both aro from tho same town,
South Omaha, as well as members of
tlio same college Other than this,
both men dcclnro thoy havo littlo In
common, nsldo from tho presidential
bee. Friends add that both nro nonu-
lar.
Since tho announcements wore
mado aomo members of tho engineer
ing collego havo suggested that ' a
caucus might bo hold nt which tho
onglneera should decide which of tho
two men thoy would support. In this
case a mnss mooting would bo called
and the engineering seniors would
ballot on Jones and Clark. Tho man
receiving tho low vote would bo ex
pected to withdraw In fuvor of the
leader and tho engineers would give
tholr united support to that candi
date. Just what effect that move
would have on tho comparative ,
chances of the candidates is not
plainly evident.
Other Candidates.
Whether or not other candidates aro
likely to spring up in tho fourth yonr
class Is not yot known. It Is pointed
out that tho laws and academics aro
oxtromely unlikely to willingly allow
tho engineers to havo the pio all to
themselves. A wcll-knowij lit student
might be ablo to make a good run,
especially In case tho engineers
should not hold caucus, is tho opinion
of Bomo soniors,
In tho other clnsses ovorythlng is
quiet as yet. Tho freshmen are said
to bo in shapo for a neat little squab
ble, but tho Junior and sophomoro of-,
flees will probably go without much
competition. The sophomores, nftor.
their strenuous political efforts last
fall will not havo much of a contest,
unless tho present outlook changes, es
pecially since tho presidency of the
dnB8 in tho second semester has little'
but tho nanio attached, to it.
