The pin pose of the committee in

settled and it is to prevent such situa
tions that the recent action became a
necessity.
The passing of such a rule will have
no small effect upon the activites of
t lie student organizations of (lie
schools It means that no class
dances or plavs ma be given until all
delinquent obligations ate paid and in
several, it not all classes, such will

Whether fraternities will be included
in the Intel prestation ot the commit

announced, but a stnet construction,
if applied, could not fail to make such
an inclusion
Assessment is recommended as the
most expedient means of escaping the
effect of the rule, though inquisitorial
methods, will be not permissable in
raising money. Assessment as a means
of raising money in such an organiza
tion as a class, however, does not offer
much encouragement to those who de
sire to see class activites continued
The object of the decision being to
w"ork on immediate prevention of the
misuse ol money and contraction of
clfbts, the rule goes into effect with
out delay in oider that the usual ac
tivities that are about to commence
for the second semester may be af
fected by the ruling
