CLUB Former Congressman Address es University Republican Organization. MONTE MUNN, GRADUATE STUDENT, ALSO SPEAKS Frank W. Mondell, former con gressman from Wyoming and per manent chairman of the Republican National Convention in June, ad dressed a meeting of the University Republican Club yesterday in the Temple Theater. Mr. Mondell, con gressman for twenty-five years and Republican majority floor leader for eight years, gave a brief history of the Republican party and stressed the activity of university men and women in political affairs. Speaking of Republican policies, he "We have nothing to regret. We could take all he platforms the party has ever had and pledge our selves to them now." "All classes of our people must take an interest in political affairs," he declared. "We cannot hope ' to have our political problems settled from the standpoint of reason and secure the election of candidates with sound views unless they do. Particu larly should those who have had the opportunity and disposition to seek a thorough education interest them selves in campaigns, problems, and candidates." Mr. Mondell expressed his regrets that among the slackers and stay-at-home voters were listed many who had had the education which should qualify them for the proper discharg ing of these duties of citixenship. In speaking of the Democratic party and its candidates, he said, "Everyone knows how foolish is Mr. Bryan's endorsement of bi-metallism. Some of the other things talked up by the Democrats are almost as ri diculous, such as the free silver standard and the tariff. As to the tariff, even under the most favorable conditions it cannot do what is claim ed for it With the exception of the Cleveland and Wilson administrations we have had Republican presidents and for the most part Republican parties, which should be proof that the tariff is not what is talked up to be." TelU of Tariff Policy. "The Republican policy of tariff has always been one of protection for those things which need it," he add . ed. "If there is anything vitally wrong with that policy, surely the ad ministrations of Lincoln, Grant, Gar field, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, and Harding would have discovered i and remedied it But instead the country has steadfastly continued to grow and in no place on the face of the earth will be found people with a; hifeh a standard cf living as those of the United States." Mr. Mondell bitterly assailed Mr. LaFollette and held him up as one who condemned everyone and every thing, one who shouts that the whole country is on the rocks of despair and then points to himself as the great cure-all, saying, "If you will take my pill you will get well." Citing the great national debt when the Republicans took over the administration in 1921, he said, "When the Republican party took over the administration in 1921, there was a great national debt And during this administration that debt has been reduced more in four years than in all the time between the Civil War and the year 1921." Monte Munn, who graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1922, also spoke. Mr. Munn is a candidate for election to the House of Repre sentatives of the State Legislature from the thirty-fifth district He praised the students of the Univer sity for their loyalty on ail accaaions. He especially advocated that all stu dents register for voting within the next week. Frank Johnson, '25, president of the Republican club, was chairman cf the meeting.

"SNEAK NIGHTS" TO BE STOPPED Committee on Student Organi zations Conducting Inves tigation on Parties. FRESHMEN BROKE TWO UNIVERSITY RULINGS Actions will be taken by the com mittee on student organizations to penalize freshman groups in fratern ities and sororities who have been vi olating University rulings by holding mixed parties on week nights. A number of groups have been reported as having given such parties and in vestigation is being carried on to de termine the other groups which are liable to penalty. Two University rulings for which men and women alike are responsible to the effect that no parties shall be held except on Friday and Saturday nights and that all parties shall be scheduled in the office of dean of women where the names of the chap erones must be submitted have been violated by several groups. The women have also violated two Women's Self-Governing Association rules which forbid freshmen to have engagements on week nights and which require all women to be in their houses at 10:30 o'clock. Parties have been held by fratern ity and sorority groups on week nights, unchaperoned and lasting un til after 10:30. Picnics and dinner followed by dancing have been given by many of the groups on what is known as their "freshman sneak nights." A few such occurrences came be fore the attention of the committee last year but nothing was done about the matter because the offenders had been severely penalized by the individual groups. The committee will meet on Wednesday to decide upon the pen alty they will set upon those who have violated the rules. Cit University Rale.
