D.S.L AS FRATERNITY
Negotiations of Past Two
Years Result in
Approval.
Delta Sigma Lambda fraternity
has been granted official recogni
tion and approval by the Grand
rvinnril Ordor of De Molay, to
climax negotiations that have been
pending wun mose orgauiiiii.iuu
for the past two years.
Tnia nrcrnnization is the first
college fraternity composed en
tirely of memDers oi me uroer m
De Molay. and traces its origin to
the spontaneous rise throughout
the country of numerous local or
ganizations based on the principles
of De Molay, during the years 1921
to 1924.
To consider the formation of a
national De Molay college frater
nity, six of these fraternities met
at Lawrence, Kansas, December
23. 1924. Those represented were
Delta Sigma Lambda, with chap
ters at the University of California
and the University of Nevada;
Star and Crescent at Purdue Uni
versity; Scimitar fraternity at the
University of Kansas, Delta
Kappa fraternity and the mini De
Molay club, both of the University
of Illinois: and Delta Lambda, at
the University of Nebraska.
Although many oiner iraierni
ties were invited to attend, they
were unable to do so at the time.
By Christmas Day the consolida
tion had been completed and the
name Delta Sigma Lambda was
adopted for the new organization,
as the oldest participating group.
The date and place of its founding
were, for the same reason, defined
as September 9, 1921, in San
Francisco. Adoption of a new
badge and pledge pin was deemed
desirable by the delegates.
During the following year Delta
Sigma Lambda suffered greatly
from division of authority. The
rmftnnal henrinuarterfi had been lo
cated in San Francisco, but the
grand officers were scattered far
and wide. An attempt to remedy
this situation was made by elect
ing the second set of national offi
cers from among the members re
siding in the vicinity of San Fran
cisco: but it soon became evident
that that city was too far west for
the best development of the frater
nity. The headquarters of the organi
zation are now in Chicago, where
they were moved in 1927.

ISSUE OF TODAY'S
Campus Organization Heads
To Meet for Second
Session at 5.
FINKLE SPONSORS PLAN
Leaders Continue to Discuss
Attacks Upon Student
Governing Body.
Reorganization of the stu
dent council will be further
discussed by the heads of cam
pus organizations Thursday' at
5 o'clock in the student coun
cil mnma These meetings are be-
nr nllri to rnnsider the charges
brought against the counci by the
Daily NebrasKan ana oiner groups,
and to consider plans for the revi
sion of the organization of the stu
dent council.
The council has been auacKea
since the beginning of the semes
ter for its alleged inactivity and
lack of interest of its members in
student affairs. John Gepson,
president of the student council,
called the first meeting last week
to hear the opinions of representa
tive students on the campus and
to receive suggestions for the im
provement of the body's repre
sentative system.
A. comprehensive plan for reor
ganization is being sponsored by
Beverlv Finkle, head of the Green
Toga faction. The new arrange
ment provides for the establishing
of a men's association board to be
composed of one senior and one
junior from each of the main col
leges and also the selection of four
sophomores at large. This plan
increases we memoersiup oi ic
council by 8, maKing uie louu oo.
This tilan if accepted will have
the council consisting of the mem
bers of Men s association Doaru
and the A. W. S. board.
a rnint system would be worked
out to keep certain members from
dominating the council ana 10 pro
vide for a wider participation of
students in activities.
Wilbur Erickson voiced the opin
ion that the Barbs, having the ma
jority of students oa the campus,
were" not sufficiently recognized.
"The student council is supposed
to represent the student body,"
Erickson said, "but it is almost
composed of the Greek e!?ment
and under the proposed systems
it would probably remain the same.
There are two elements on this
campus and I think we have to
recognize the Barb element in
some way."
Margaret Buol, president of the
A. W. S. board, agreed with Erick
son's statement and mentioned the
fact that the A. W. S. board had
realized the situation by electing
one Barb from each class.
Another plan which involved
representation from various or
ganizations seemed less in favor
as the conference group felt that
it would not eliminate politics nor
would it represent some of the col
leges. The general opinion at the first
conference was that the proposed
plans would not improve conditions
greatly. It was also felt that the
council .has ben functioning better
than in the past and elections were
unusually fair.

Ellen Smith Hall Probably Scene

Merry couples swaying to the rhythm of lively dance tunes,
dignified men and women passing down ponderous reception

a landmark in the history of Lincoln, has probably been the

Named for the first woman fac

has had a varied history, from be

fices of the Dean of Women. When
built, in the prosperous days of the
late eighties, it was considered a
very elegant mansion, and was
freely opened for public affairs by
its owner and builder, Mr. Frank
Sheldon. Until 1913. the house
was a private residence; from 1913
until 1918, it was the home of the
Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity; for
three months, in the fall of 1918,
it stood vacant, and since Novem

the women's activities of the cam

Hill Says Possibility Of Germany

powers on the continent.
"Moreover," he continued, "the
warning sounded by Britain. Italy
and France on the necessity of

alleviate thia situation."
Most of the trouble of course
has arisen over the possibility of
Germany and Austria uniting.
Prior to recent developments, be

government. Austria, which is
comDnsed almost solely of Ger
mans, wished to join Germany and
