A Step Forward,
But Don't Slack Up.
The cheerful news is carried in today's Ne
braskan of a reduction in prices of ballrooms
and orchestras for fraternity and sorority par
ties. The manager of the two hotels in ques
tion have agreed on a 20 percent cut in the
price of their ballrooms, and the orchestra
managers have agreed to play their bands for
$100. The agreement is to be retroactive and
thus will effect an immediate saving to those
who already have signed up for their parties.
The cut in price will mean a substantial saving
to the greek houses.
This agreement is the culmination of much
agitation in the student body and considerable
dickering with the hotels and orchestras. The
Daily Mebraskan from the beginning of the
school year has been hammering on an econ
omy program stressing school expenses. Stu
dents were quick to take up this program, so
the ranhellenic. Interfraternily and Student
councils looked into the matter also. Commit
tees from these three groups did their investi
gating and carried on a good deal of confer
ence, work. Both of the greek legislative or
ganizations threatened to take very decisive
action, if necessary, to effect a price cut.
According to a statement by Prof. Schramm,
faculty advisor of the Interfraternity council,
who is largely responsible for making the ar
rangements with Ihe business firms, the hotel
managers were willing to cooperate in this re
spect. The drastic action that the students
threatened to take will not be necessary.
The price reduction works 1o the. good of all
concerned. Fraternities and sororities, un
doubtedly, will benefit by it, and a few parties
might be had now that otherwise would not
have been. Those in charge of the major par
ties. Military ball. Interfratcrnity ball and
Junior-Senior prom, should also take into con
sideration the fact that their parties can be
jmt on for less by forgetting about high priced
out-of-state orchestras, and the saving thus
made should be passed on to the students who
buy the tickets to these affairs. High priced
orchestras can surely be Net aside for one year,
at least, without doing any serious damage to
those who are thereby forced to listen to less
expensive music, but nevertheless good music.
The climax of student economy has not been
reached by this action. Although business
conditions are better and the price of wheat is
rising, most students are not going to find it
any easier to finance their way thru school.
So the Nebraskan reminds students and espe
cially fraternity and sorority house managers,
to watch things as closely as possible, to be
more efficient in operation, and above all to
cut down on unnecessaries.
Fraternities should not encourage reckless
spending, in fact they should make special ef
forts at. the present time to look after their
own members, to sec that those who are not
amply endowed, are not led into needless ex
pense by others who may be able to afford such
expenses.
National officers of some fraternities are
encouraging greater efficiency in operations,
and closer supervision of expenditures. They
are even requiring, in some instances, that the
various chapters thruout the country report to
them in detail just what plans have been made
for cutting out the unnecessary items from the
budget.
So let us not think t hat just because social
expenses on downtown parties are going to be
less, and because we read in the. papers lhat
business is picking up encouraging signs, to
be sure that we can loose all restraint and
plunge into a seige of reckless expenditures.
The student, who. for the most part, depends
upon others for his funds, must still look aft' r
bis budget to see that his meager allowance
is dispursed into the proper channels.
thing above seventy-one and a half should be
considered an good as seventy-two, so Ihe rule
was changed to make the required average
seventy-one and one-half.
This year the scholarship committee uf the
Interfratcrnity council saw that Rome pledges
were going to show up with nn average, just
a shade below seventy-one and one-half, and
these pledges would want to be eligible also,
claiming that seventy-one is as good as seventy,
one and one-half. In order to prevent any
argumenls, the council brought the average
back up to seventy-two and stilted specifically
that nothing under seventy-two would be sat
isfactory. Regardless of how low or how high tho
average is, there will be a few -who are just

The liiterfraternity eouncil tramaeied a lit- i
tie business last Tuesday that seemed to be for- j
"otten in the exeitemeni about social expenses, j
It concerns scholarship, a matter that frateru- !
ities are always getting the razzberries for.
At the meet jog last Tuesday the council
raised the average for initiation eligibility a
half point. This seems ridiculous to some folks,
but under the circumstances, it is not so funny
as it may seem.
Last year the council passed a rule statiug
that a pledge must have a seventy-two point
average the semester b'-fore his initiation in
order to be digible. Then, vhen the first se
mester averages came out. a lot of the boys
were found hanging on 1he fenee with just a
fraction less than the required seventy-two.
