LAW CLUB DECIDES TEST
CASE IN FAVOR OF HOTEL
HastinQS Society Debates Rights of
Organizations Making Fifteen
Dollar Depoi.it.
The Hastings Law Club held an
opc n meeting Tuesday evening h.
which the Fraternity-Lincoln Ilote
.asa was tried. A decision was ten
ilered in favor of the hotel.
Tho "X" fraternity acted as plain
tiff and sought to recover the $H
deposit on. (a dance i;chcduled fo
Llio coming spring. The dance was,
to bo held in the bail room. At
torneys for the hotel maintained thai
the fraternity was under a biudin
contract to hold the dance. Also thut
.he fifteen dollars was mado as pail
payment on the hall aud It made a
oinding contract between the bote,
and fraternity.
The Winning Argument.
The argument on which the de
fendant won the case was that no
advance in rental price was contim
plated.' The hotel stands ready an
willing to perform Its part of the
agreement.
The ca'so was nearly won for rlv
plaintiff due to tho fact that the fol
lowing evidence was introduced.
"The hotel schedule given to tin
"X" fraternity had these words upoi.
it 'Prices subject to change.' '
Judge Durisch held that these words
were immaterial after considerable
discussion.
At the conclusion of the argument
the Judge rendered an opinion tha:
the "X" fraternity must be bouni
by its agreement with the hotel. The
agreement amounted to a contract.
Thus the hotel is entitled to with
hold the deposit against the f rater
nity whether or not tho dance w.ie
held as anticipated.
