Inter-Greek Council in Special
Meeting to Inquire Into
Situation.
Engberg Gives Support
Rumora Current ' That Barred
Organizations Are Again
Active.
Prof. R. D. Scott,
Chairman, Fraternity Council,
Dear Professor Scott:
I wish to convey to you the
fact that the University will
utand squarely behind the Inter-Fraternity
Council in its
efforts to up-root the high
school fraternit'es, and any
University student who Is
found, guilty of aiding and
abetting such high school fra
ternities will without further
ceremony be dropped from the
school.
Sincerely yours,
CARL C. ENGBERG.
A rumor that suspicious signs oi
activity on the part of former high
school fraternity men had been ob
served, occasioned a hurried meeting
ol' the University lnter-fraternil
Council last Sunday.
Last spring a rule was passed
which prohibited high school frater
nity men from becoming members oi
a University fraternity. This fall an
exception was made to this rule ana
men we.e allowed to pledge upon the
definite promise and assurance that
high school fraternities were perman
ently dead.
The fraternities are determined in
their stand that no high school Greek I
may become a member of a University j
fraternity. Naturally, they wish to
prevent anything which resembles the
reo.ganizaiion of high school frater
nities since buch action would ttPo
to liisciedit lratern.ty integrity. U
would also necehssiL.te the expulsioa
of former high school fraternity men
wlw had Leeii pledged under the spe
cific promise that their high schooi
organizations were dead.

Investigation at Hastings.
The minor that University frater
nity men had been implicated in the
high school lrale.nity activities
which resu.ted iu the suspension ti

was also investigated. It was rouno
that Uiiee loiinei" :gu school La

Professor Gray will undertake work

a feature of the world-wide revolu

have become and are constantly be
coming more and more impoitant. The
United States, upon its entrance into
world politics, found itself but meu

Schissler Confident of

The Husker Varsity basketball
team triumphed over the Weslcyan
Coyotes last night by the score of
60 to 23. Coach SchlsBler used 17
men during the gamp while Coach
McCandlebB of the Wesleyan team

over. The contest waB in the na
ture of a practice game for both
eaJll8. No box score of the game will
bo published.
The Coiner Bulldogs fell before the
Husker onslaught yesterday afternoon
to the tune of 63 to 16. The Nebraska
team was composed of practically the
same men as played last night. The .
Cotner coach made a large number of
substitutions before time was called.
The Husker "pony" team, captained
oy "Skipper" Bailey, proved to be
the big scoring machine for the Husk
ers, running up the biggest majority
of points in both games.
Team Play Is Weak.
The Huskers are weak on team
play just at present but should do
