Tho Pan-Hellenic Banquet has been an occasion for the congregation of all tho tribes in a good-fellowship meeting; It has been a time wnen feuds and petty differ ences were thrown, aside. Tho Pan Hellonic Banquot, as the Pan-Hellenic Danoe, has served to bring all fra ternity men into a closer relationship with each other. Much Severe Criticism. On the other hand, the position of the University authorities can bo well understood when considered in tho light of some of the various reports which havo boen circulated through out tho country. Tho following clipping was taken from one of the Missouri Valley dailies.
