01 CONDUCT RULES
Fraternities Given Right to
Formulate Laws for
Social Life.
Amherst fraternities have been
given the privilege of making their
own rules of scial conduct. Pres
ence of unchaperoncd girls in the
houses will be left up to each in
dividual group. Kach organiza
tion will assume full responpibility
In such Instances.
The statement that there would
be no faculty ruling upon the sub
pect came as result of tbe re
quest by the Student committee
for a definite faculty stand upon
the question.
It was explained that the col
lege did not delegate this responsi
bility to tho fraternities for all
lime, but merely so long as the
privilege of self government was
not abused.
According to The Amherst Stu
aent, the statement is intended to
clear up completely any question
of direct responsibility for con

not Imply a letting down of the
standards now existing in the

Museum Curator Discusses
Old Race in Weekly
Radio Talk.
F. G. Collins, curator of the
Nebraska museum, in his regular
weekly radio talk yesterday dis
cussed some of the anthropological
specimens in the museum and in
connection with that subject spoke
of Alexander Pope, author of the
essay on "lien." The specimens
in the museum of which Mr. Col
lins spoke were of that pre-his-toric
race of human beings known
as Cro-magnons.
The exhibit at the museum of
the Cro-magnon race was exem
plified by a painting by Miss
Elizabeth Uolan, well known
mural painter, in her work in
"Elephant Mall." The picture
shows a family group with a do
mesticated dog. A man is draw
ing the likeness of a hairy mam
moth on the wall with charcoal,
while a daughter of the house is
holding a lamp for him to sec
by. The murcum also has a cast
of the skull of a man of this race.
Actual remains are exceedingly
rare, according to Mr. Collins.
Describes Race.
Describing the race, Mr. Col
lins says, "The Cro-magnons are
a fine race of who remains are
found at the western end of
F.urope. They are called Cro
maguon because it was at the
village of that name in southern
France that their remains were
found, in the year 1868. These
people appeared in Europe after
the retreat of the ice of the gla
cial times. They are remarkable
for their fine stature.
"One skeleton, that of an old
man, is over 6 feet 4 inches in
height. A skeleton of a woman
is 5 feet 5 inches; that is a little
above the average today, while
her brain cavity exceeds that of
the average modern man. These
Cro-magnon people left behind
them In their caves beautiful
works of art, sculpture, engrav
ing, and painting."
Mr. Collins closed his talk on
man with a couplet by Pope, a
famous English writer:
"Know then thyself, presume
not God to scan:
The proper study of mankind
is man."
