Bill would
eliminate
bar exams
Students and faculty of the
School of Law of the University
nave taKen opposite stands on the
proposed bill before the House of
Representatives which would ex
empt graduates of university law
schools from bar examination re
quirements.
In a special meeting Monday
afternoon the law faculty, with
only one dissenting vote, passed
a resolution expressing opposition
to the bill; however, during the
past three weeks law school stu
uenis nave taken an opposing
view, definitely for the proposed
bill, and have urged their repre
sentatives and senators to suport
the measure.
A report of the faculty meeting
Monday stated that Whereas
there is now pending before the
Texas Legislature a bill which pro
poses to restore the so-called 'di
ploma privilege exempting grad
uates of certain law schools from
taking the state bar examinations
it is resolved that the faculty of
the School of Law favor the reten
tion of the present system of ad
mission to the bar by which all
candidates are required to pass
the state bar examinations, as wa3
provided for by the Forty-fourth
Session of the Legislature."
The faculty based its report, as
it did in both 1935 and 1937, dur
ing which years a similar bill was
also proposed before the Legisla
ture, on four points, as follows:
1. The denial of the diploma
privilege is in conformity with the
views of the American Bar Asso
ciation which at the annual meet
ing in 1921 resolved that "The
opinion that graduation from a
law school should not confer the
right of admission to the bar and
that every candidate should be
subject to an examination by pub
lic authority to determine his fit
ness." 2. It is in conformity with the
recommendations of the Texas
Bar Association in 1932.
3. It is in conformity with the
recommendations of the Texas
Civil Judicial Council in 1932.
4. It is in conformity with the
practice in thirty-three states of
the nation.
"Members of the faculty ex
pressed their belief that the aboli
tion of the diploma privilege by
the 44th legislature was a step in
the right direction because it
means that all persons applying
for admission to the bar are judged
by the same standard, rather than
by standards that vary with the
students of different schools which
may be placed on a privilege list.
Also it removes any possible ex
cuse for suggestions, however ill
founded or from whatever source,
of discrimination or special priv
ilege, and it also obliviates the deli
cate task of drawing the line be
tween two groups, graduates of
those schools which enjoy the di
ploma privileges and candidates
who are graduates of schools
which do not.

Students to select
Prom band hy vole
at Northwestern
(Editorial)
It is far better" remarked
Eddie Cantor recently, "that the
college youth of America are hail
ing band leaders than heiling bund
leaders."
Thus, for this reason alone, the
decision of the Junior prom execu
tive committee to have the prom
band selected by popular campus
vote is a commendable one. And
since the committee has an option
with seven good bands at a higher
price than was formerly paid, the
calibre of the music should draw
crowds.
This democratic process will re
quire more time and effort than a
one man decision but it is a more
desirable method. Daily North

A football field in the fall, an

merthat's what the stadium
grounds of the University of
Washington will be if present
plans materialize, according to the
Washington Daily.
The grounds where the stadium
now stands were once covered by
Lake Washington, the water of
which was lowered when the ship
canal was dug. By lowering the
stadium field and digging a small
canal with flood gates, the grounds
could be flooded and regulated
with little difficulty.
The field could then be u.'ied as
finish line for crew races with
use of he stadium enlarging the
seating capacities at those meets;
it could also be frozen for skating

Rushees must
use own cars
Interfraternity council members
last night by a one-vote margin
reaffirmed their decision of last
week requiring rushees to furnjsh
their own transportation during
Rush week preceding fall quarter
The rule, part of a new set of
rushing laws adopted at last
night's meeting, states:
The rushee shall provide his
own transportation, unaccompa
nied by any member of a frater
nity, to and from dates with fra
ternities during formal Rush week.
The presence of a rushee in a car
with a fraternity man at any time
during Formal Rush week shall
be construed as a violation of this
rule."
Wins by Single Vote.
The re-vote was taken because
of the closeness of the balloting
last week when the proposal was
passed by a 29-31 count. Final
count last night stood 35-36 with
representatives from the two
houses absent.
The lengthy discussion of that
section of the new rules at last
week's meeting prevented final
passage of the laws which neces
sitated last night's meeting.
A proposal to require each
hous? to set aside $75 as a guar
antee fund from which fines at
the rate of $25 for each violation
of rushing rules would be drawn
was defeated after very short dis
cussicn.
'Fund UnWise'
Opponents of this proposal
pointed out that the S75 would be
like "money thrown into the sea'
without any value to the houses
concerned.
Few houses are prosecuted un
der interfraternitv rules cverv
ear and the fine is usually much
smaller than $25, which would
make such a fund unnecessary
and unwise, opponents pointed out.

(Continued from Page 1)
Is difficult to see any basis in in
terests, at least on the part of
Spain, for continued diplomatic
cooperation after an insurgent vic
tory." British loans after the civil war
may do a lot to keep Spain from
falling too much under Italian in
fluence, Prof. Hill believes. The
tinkle of ready British cash may
become an overpowering din in
the ears of the Spanish leader who
is now listening to the music of
Italian swords "ioud clashing."
"If. Franco insists on following
his own interests in disregard of
Italy, British interests in the Medi
terranean are safe," states Hill.

"But professor, what will Brit

"A working alliance between

queer combination of pain and
humor d escends upon the
campus.
Once more the lowly neophytes
are terrified into meek submission.
As their social status decreases,
the pledges become the proletariat
of the campus.
For some pledges, Hell Week
takes the form of manual labor.
This serves a double purpose as it
takes care of the matter of spring
hous'.cleaning at a fraternity or
sorority house. Some pledges sud
denly descend upon the campus
carrying armloads of books, while
others pretend it's Sunday and
come to class dressed in their best.
Among the most amusing or the
most childish of the tasks which
the pledges are forced to do are
the little ditties which they chant
into the telephone. Consider this
one, for example:
"This here gadget I am called to
answer
And In my duty I must not fail.
So be kind and state your wishes
Or I will catch It in the tall."
Freshmen are also required to
stand at attention whenever they
meet an active on the campus or
at the houue. When a pledge is
asked if he or she is hungry, the
neophyte must answer respect
fully: "Wo thank you. My gastro-
nomical satiety admonishes me to
state that I have quite reached
the ultimate state o deglutition
and further nourishment on my
part would be quite inconsistent
with my dietetic integrity, so help
me God.
Making a freshman repeat that
toitured sentence, gives the upper-
classmen a great sense of supen
ority.
remaps to shea a little more
light on the subject, some of the
"greeks-to-be" wear carbide
lighted hats.
Don't be surprised then if when
you next call a sorority house you
are first forced to listen to this
little classic:
"I'm just a lowly pledge you see
So I know this'couldn't be for me.
But if you'll tell me for whom you
call
I'll buzz to see if she's here at all."
Or this one:

And nil looks well,

difficulty.
"I am inclined to believe," he
answered, "that, if Spain becomes
an ally of Italy, British hold over
the western Mediterranean will be
seriously threatened. England
would still have control over Malta
and the Suez area, however, both
of which would be of major im
portance in a Mediterranean
clash."
French Lifeline Threatened.
Should "pound diplomacy" be
unable to keep the Balearic Islands
and Minorca (Mediterranean is
lands east of Spain) In friendly
hands British interests would be
endangered and France's route to
her colonies seriously threatened.
England, however, is doing all Bhe
can to assure herself that these
points will remain in hands that
she is trying to keep friendly. To
this end she recently sent a cruiser
into a Minorcan port to arrange
Unit that l3land be surrendered to
Franco, not to Italy.
Chamberlain's government has
more than money in its bag of
tricks. At present rumors of
early recognition of Franco's gov
ernment are arousing speculation
as to how much such British ac
tion would amplify the jingle of
British sterling.
Britain "In Good" With Franco.
"Along with the non-intervention
tactics of Franco and Eng

might be induced, by early recog

those countries. Doubtless the Brit

is stronger than the French." as

Test scorer
aids teacher
"Most teachers usually spend
more time than the student in pre
paring for examinations and then
when the student finishes the test
he may dismiss it from his mind,
but the teacher has just begun,"
said Dr. Eleroy Stromberg, of the
psychology department.
The teacher, however, is getting
a break. By the end of the week
a machine for scoring test papers
will be installed by the depart
ment of administrative studies of
the Oklahoma A. & M. college on
the fourth floor of the Life
Sciences building. This machine
will be available for the use of
all instructoru on the campus.
Machine Does Counting.
The student checks the answers
on a specially prepared answer
sheet which is inserted into the
fachine which, by means of elec
trical contacts, counts the right
and wrong answers. The machine
is constructed so that it is pos
sible to subtract the wrong from
the right answers or to use any
combination of the subtraction
method of . determining the final
score.
A practiced operator can score
about fifteen papers of from 150
to 300 items in one minute. A
check-up shows that the machine
makes even less errors than per
sons grading papers of the same
lype oy tnc ordinary scoring
method. A paper that has been
corrected by hand can be inserted
in the machine and will pick up
mistakes that have been made by
tne scorer.
Dr. Stromberg said that this
machine could do the work of
grading psychological examina
tions of 2,300 new students who
registered in September in about
two and one-half hours. It took
the regular staff of teachers and
assistants 500 hours to score the
same papers in the regular way.

effects that premature recognition
might have, and that, because an
insurgent victory has not yet ar
rived, such a declaration at this
time would be premature.

Establishment of Pledge Train
ers' Council met with unanimous
approval of the "pledge dads"
from 24 of Iowa State's social fra
ternities when they met at Phi
Kappa P3i house last week to dis
cuss organization plans.
Henry Bollmann, president of
Interfraternity Council presiding
at the meeting, outlined the objec
tives of the proposed plan suggest
ing three cardinal features which
the organization should adopts
1. That a general secretary be
elected from the new group to
keep adequate minutes of' the
proceedings of Pledge Trainers'
Council which he will present
to Interfraternity Council at
their fortnightly meetings.
2. That Pledge Trainers' Council
meet on alternate Thursday eve
nings jjf
3. That the president of Interfra
ternity Council preside at the
meetings. -
Explain.
Explanative talks were given by
Ed Hergenrather, Sigma Chi, and
Dick McRoberts, phi Kappa Psi,
pointing out from the study of the
situation which they had made,
that the new organization should
serve as a clearing house of ideas.
As planned, representatives of the
various houses may present their
particular pledge training prob-.
lems, and thru group discussion
be more likely to arrive at work
able solutions.
Also, since each fraternity likely
has its own definite pledge train
ing program, it was suggested that
the program developed thru Pledge
Trainers' Council be supplemen
tary and that each house devote
perhaps 15 minutes of each weekly
pledge class to discussion of a sec
tion of the interfraternity pledge
training; program.
Objectives of the unified pledge
training system is to give the
Iowa State fraternity pledge a
more thior appreciation of his re
sponsibilities as a college man and
a fraternity member.
Committee.
Named to a committee from
among the "pledge dads" to work
with the original founding com
mittee in defining more closely the
features of the new organization
were Al Stoecker, Sigma Nu,
chairman; Kaye Rollins, Tau
Kappa Epsilon; Charles Gciger,
oigma Phi Epsilon; and Roy Joons,
Kappa Sigma..
By next Wednesday each house
has been instructed to present to
interfraternity Council an outline
of its pledge training program, in
order that the better ideas of each
can be co-ordinated into a com
posite program which the Pledge
irainers council shall adopt.
