Giving reasons for the decision, the president stated. "In the first place, there are approximately 2fi fraternities on campus and only five sororities. Because of this unbalanced ratio, the soror ities have been invited to more parties than they could possibly return." 16:fl-40).

Labor Committee The House Labor committee had killed the proposed bill by one vote. According to other committee members, it was Chairman John Lesinski who cast the deciding vote in the 13- 12 decision. The bill provided for , a $300,000,000 a year appropri- j ation for the nation's schools. Continuing. Gustavson ex- ' plained that "there certainly was a problem to be solved in equal- ; izing the opportunity of educa tion to all. "But," he" said, "there is a tremendous problem in of- 11 ,R am ,1.x u is impossioie yei ior groups to see eye to eye, said the chancellor, "on support to be of fered to private schools of any kind." Gustavson stated that because of these many problems and dif ficulties not yet solved on the proposal that the killing ot the bill did not surprise him. 'Not Ready' The 'Chancellor thought that perhaps 'the country is not yet ready for the aid." The federal aid bill is a key point in President Truman's pro gram. The defeating factor seemed to lie with the debate which discussed whither Cath olic schools should snare in fed eral aid. How to prevent federal con trol accompanying federal aid was another obstacle, according to the committee members. After the vote, members did reach agreement on considering as a substitute some form of gov ernment in school construction. A bill designed by Rep. Thom as H. Burke, (d., O.) to restrict all proposed federal aid to teachers' salaries! and a Repub lican proposal to provide aid on'-v t so-called "needy" states was planned to keep the House busy for the next session.
