COUNCIL IS ASKED TO MAKE RULINGS A resolution questioning the falr ;eM ,d good taste of competitive LmpsiKM among women s fraterni Zt was passed at a meeting of the women's Pan-Hellenic Association held yesterday at 1 o'clock. The sub rt.nce of the resolution follows: The Woman's Pan-Hellenic Associ ation questions the fairness and good tute of the present practice of pro moting sales for student undertak ings by seeking to foster a spirit of tater-group rivalry among members of women's fraternities. When sub notions are to be solicited for eaicpus publications and other pro jects the practice has been to estao lish sales competition between soror ities. This has gone so far in some years as to amount to an exploitation 0f women students, especially fresh- "The Women's Pan-Hellenic Associ ation suggests that the matter of wiles campaigns be handled by the Student Council which may , either call for volunteers or appoint sales committees. It also suggests that man as well as woman students be represented on these committees and that non-fraternity as well as fra ternity members be given an oppor tunity to serve on them. The prac tice of giving to fraternity members what amounted to a monopoly of the valuable experience to be had from participation in student activities is not a practice of which the Women's Pan-Hellenic Association approves. Dorothy Brown, who was secre tary of Pan-Hellenic last year, brought the suggestion of Valkyrie that Pan-Hellenic was the organiza tion which should take up this mat ter. DECLARES DAVIS IS' GAINING STRENGTH Judge Thomas, Democratic Senatorial Nominee, Says LaFolIette Is Losing. "LaFollette is losing and Davis is gaining strength every day," Judge J. J. Thomas, Democratic nominee for Senator, told the University Davis-Bryan Club at a luncheon in the Grand Hotel yesterday noon. About fifty were present Ralph G. Brooks, a University law student, in troduced the speaker. Judge Thomas expressed his ap preciation of the interest taken in politics by "the students and declared that the highest duty of every young man is to take an active and intelli gent interest in such matters. "It is not the number of people who go to the polls, but the number who vote intelligently,'.' he continued, sny of tMhe weaknesses of our gov ernment are due to the fact that the American people have not watched its development as closely as they should. He criticised the foreign policy of the present administration and ex pressed the opinion that European conditions are one of the primary causes of our present dilemma. "I am especially glad to see so many young women interested in pol itics," Judge Thomas declared. "Wo men are good at ouse-cleaning and we need a house-cleaning in politics."

Ruth Wright, '27, Mendota, 111., tennis-singles won the women s championship Tuesday afternoon by defeating Grace Modlin, '28, Ulysses " . . . , . fi-2: 4-6: 6-4. This victory gives the champion first place in the ranking I ten players and makes sophomores class champions. Accurate placement shots, ace services, and hard drives brought the champion the first and last sets. By forcing her opponent to play back hand, Miss Wright was able to take many points.

Grace Modlin, the runner-up, put Claire Miller out of the running in a semifinal match played Monday, winning 4-6; 6-3 6-1.

"The Sun, the Stars, and the Planets." was the subject of the weekly freshman lecture given in the Monday and Tuesday periods by Prof- G. D. Swezey to freshmen in the College of Arts and Sciences. Prof. Swezey took up only half of his subject, "Astronomy," this week. "Astronomy was one 01 the nrst sciences," said Frof. Koy uoenran in Introducing rroieosur kcc7. 'It was studied long before many of tha others were thought of. Profes sor Swezey has long been recognized as an authority, and we are fortun ate in obtaining him." He has the faculty of making something ex tremely difficult appear very easy. Professor Swezey explained his lecture by means of stereopticon sides.

Tryouts for Dramatic Club will be held Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in the Temple. This year the members of the Dramatic Club plan an active pro gram. As soon as the new memoers are initiated njany new plays will be taken under consideration and work on public performances will begin. While the membership willl be limit ed to those showing real dramatic talent, the club offers an opportunity to students who are interested in pub lic performances to develop their tal ents. Durine its existence on the campus the club has sponsored many public performances both at the University and at downtown theaters. At tne time of the war, however, many of its most active members became en gaged in war work and the club lost much of its life. During this time the University Players be gran to be rec ognized as the leading organization for dramatics at the University and It has so continued up to this time.

Better do that today, before you forget it, and urge the 'old man' to wit ness the Missouri game," commit tee, members urge. FRATERNITIES TO SELL TAGS Greek Freshmen Take Over Plans for Sending Band to Notre Dame. IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PAN-HEL KULfc In accordance with the ruling handed down bv the Pan-Hellenic council Tuesday afternoon, the Tag Dav scheduled for today will be con ducted by the fraternities instead of the sororities. The ruling necessi tated a sudden change in plans and resulted in the Greek freshmen tak ing over the plans for sending the band to Notre Dame. The campaign, opening this morn ing. will last all day. Students will be asked to contribute but ten cents toward a "Nebraska band in South Bend." This money, plus the contri butions of fifteen dollars by each member of the band and a donation from the athletic department, will send a band of forty pieces to Notre Dame for the football game Novem her 15. With the large number of students that will be sent by city stores and the large number that furnish their own transportation, it is predicted that five hundred students will be in South Bend for the annual clash between the Irish and the Cornhusk- ers. "We hope that every student will contribute at least a dime toward sending the band on this trip," Em mett V. Maun, chairman of the cam naitrn stated. "If the greater share contribute and the campaign is a suc cess, South Bend will be given the privileee of not only seeing the team that beat her pride for two years but also the band that played the victory march after each defeat." "The band is making many per sonal sacrifices to go and deserve the loval support of every student. There is not a game nor an athletic event at which the band has not been pres ent and the students may show measure of appreciation by contrib uting to the fund to send the band with the team," Mr. Maun asserted HOCKEY CONTESTS COME NEXT WEEK Teams for Women's Interclass Tournament Will Be Chosen Next Friday.

PRICE 5 CENTS DISAPPROVE ACT OF COMMITTEE Student Council Members Pass Resolution on Action of Faculty Senate. CLAIM CONTROL OF UNI ORGANIZATIONS A resolution expressing disapprov al of the action of the committee on student organizations in penalizing fraternities and sororities for viola tion of University rules on freshman 'sneak nights" was passed by the Student Council at a meeting Mon day night in University Hall 106. The resolution follows: Whereas, the Student Council is a representative of the student body, and Whereas, all matters concerning student organizations and the stu dent body should rightfully be re ferred to the Student Council for consideration, and Whereas, the Committee on Stu dent Organizations failed to refer to the Student Council the matter con cerning the penalizing of certain fra ternities and sororities, and Whereas, the penalty declared by the Committee, in our estimation, fails in its purpose and is inadequate and insufficient, We. the members of the Student Council, hereby resolve and publicly announce that we do not sanction the action of the Committee on Student Organizations and do not approve of the punishment imposed and the statements issued in explanation of such punishment. EMMETT V. MAUN, President. Eight sororities and nine fraterni ties will be deprived of the privilege of giving more than one house-dance this semester and of giving the first downtown party which they have scheduled, according to the penalty fixed by the committee on student organizations after investigating par ties given by these groups on "sneak nights." These parties were held on week nights and were, in most cases, unchaperoned. J RULES READ TO ALL PRESIDENTS Emphasis Is Laid on Party Regulations in Regular An nual Meeting. The annual meeting of the presi dents of all campus organizations was held last night at Ellen Smith Hall. Dean Amanda Heppner, chair man of the Committee on Student Organizations, presided. The meeting was called so that the presidents mieht become familiar with the rules of the Women's Self-Governing As sociation and of the University. These rules are to be read at the next meeting of the organizations. Particular emphasis was made on the rules concerning the scheduling of parties and the listing of chaper ones. All parties must be listed at the Dean's office at least two days in advance and the names of the chap erones must also be submitted. Three faculty couples must be present at all downtown parties, and two couples, not necessarily faculty mem bers, at all house parties. Minors are not eligible as chaperones and accept ances must have been received from the chaperones before their names are submitted. Another point brought up was the fact that women have been enter tained at men's houses on Sundays when there were no chaperones pres ent and the men are to schedule the event and names at the Daen's office beforehand. No freshmen may par ticipate in any downtown perform ances. This rule was made by the Scholarship Committee because too many students used these as excuses for delinquencies. Pamphlets of tha rules concerning 'organizations and. social functions were given out at the beginning of the meeting. Closed nights and the rules concerning subscription dances were also explained. A question was put up for the con- tsid era tion of the students by Dean Engberg, Because of the new trust formed, due to the control by one t .11 tha nn-Kirfni. ha thnno-ht .. . pood time for the stu- dents to strike and bring down the prices.
