FRENCH PROFESSOR TO SPEAK MONDAY ESSAYS BT fiASS PUBLISHED Second Volume of Essays By Eng lish Professor Issned A man registered under the name of Fred Hardy at the Lincoln Y. M. C. A. confessed Saturday to the re cent robbery of the Thl Gamma Del ta fraternity house. The prison er, an escaped dope addict from the Kansas state penitnentiary, admitted that he was responsible for a num ber of house robberies near 19th and A streets, but firmly denied that he had robbed fraternity houses around 16th and R streets. Hardy remembered having taken an overcoat and suit from the Phi Gam house and clothes from the various other houses. These were sold by him in Omaha and Lincoln. Part of the loot recovered by de tectives was called for at the po lice station by victims. Fraternities were warned by police officials not to relax their vigilance in watching for Intruders, as it is by no means certain that the ar rest of Hardy means that all the danger is over. Robberies of fra ternity houses have occurred at alarmingly frequent intervals this fall. POLL INDICATES OVERWHELMING FAVOR OF COURT Vote Taken in Classes Friday Shows Students Want U.
