- THE MICHIGcAN DAILY WISCONSIN MAY ABOLISH FRATI Ehc forest lawn ea iRoom Open Evsni ngs 604 Forest Ave. Phone 1238-J ARRIVED The R UTa ilors Sape FOR SPRING DON'T FAIL TO SEE THEM SUITS, $16-00 to $35-*00 EVERY PATTERN GUARANTEED ALL WOOL The Campus Bootery 308 South State Street } to A bill is now before the Wisconsin legislature which if passed will abolish all secret societies in the state insti- tutions. Property to the extent of $650,000 and fully 900 students will be affected at the university alone. The proposed law states that all Greek letter fraternities, societies and secret orders of students, shall be prohibited in the university, the state normal school, and in all institutions supported by the state. Another bill intended to abolish the "Junior Prom" and other expensive and elaborate class dances at the uni- versity is being considered by the state senate. It was introduced by Senator E. F. Ackley who declares that college students, in supporting such functions, are impoverishing their par- ents. "When university students so impov- erish their parents by suporting $1,800 dances," said Senator Ackley, "it- is high time the people of the state were informed of what is going on at their university." EMBRYO JOURNALISTS' WORK WILL BE SENT TO DETROIT. In order to give the members of his class in journalism the benefit of prac- tical newspaper criticism and to make them familiar with the requirements of newspaper writing, Prof F. N. Scott has arranged to have articles written by the students in that course sent to Detroit where they will be criticised and commented upon by one of the city's prominent newspaper men. Un- der this arrangement the work of the students will be edited as though in- tended for publication, although no at- tempt will be made to duplicate the re- quirements of a newspaper office in the writing of such articles. This pro- cedure will be introduced for the first time during this semester. WELL KNOWN GRAD PRAISES ADVANCEM'ENT OF THE UNION Capt.

Just what action this class will now take in regard to the recommendation of the inter-lit conference, is not known. It is gen- erally expected, however, that inas- mitch as the chief objection in the sen- ior class seemed to arise from an in- disposition on the part of the miajority of those present to dictate to their owni classmates as to their mode of danc- ing, the recommendation. of a mo cre general body of students will be re- spected.
