There Is No Fight.
The Emerald publishes in the Open Forum column today a letter
from the secretary of the interfraternity council in which he explains
the action of that body in passing resolutions regarding Junior Week
end in spite of the fact that the student council, elected by the stu
dent body at large, had previously drawn up the recommendations
to the junior class. The student council has no fight with the fra
ternity group, it merely pointed out the fallacy of the latter organi
zations attempting to make a further issue out of the Junior Week
end discussion.
As stated by the student council in passing the resolution con
demning the action of the fraternity group, it believed that the camp
us sentiment had been expressed by the heads of the houses, who are
elected by each individual organization and should be prepared to
speak as to what the sentiment of the organization is in the matter.
The student council arrived at its decision ir| the recommendations
to the junior class after it had gone into a committee of the whole at
its previous session and drawn up each of the resolutions alter con
siderable discussion.
The student council had no desire to disregard the fraternity
group and maintained in passing the resolution of censure that if the
fraternities as a separate organization from that of the heads of the
houses, wished to take any action in the matter they should have
done so in a session before the final action of the student council.
Plenty of time was allowed for such action from the time that the
committee from the council first began the investigation of the Junior
Week-end situation, until the final action by the council was taken.
In a news story in The .Emerald of January 2fi, it was stated that the
student council was investigating Junior Week-end.
In regard to the authority of the student council in such matters
the following two excerpts from the constitution of the A. S. U. 0.
setting forth its duties, are published for the information of all con
cerned :
Paragraph No. 3, Section 3 of Article IV; “To direct the enter
tainment of the visiting teams or any others who are guests of the
University.”
Paragraph No. f>, Section 3 of Article IV; “To assume charge of
all other items of importance in which the students may be directly
interested and which are not specifically ascribed to the executive
council.”
Then* are « few things in regard to maintaining the beauty of the
campus which should not be overlooked now. The first of these is
the habit of cutting corners and not staying on the paths; the second
is the habit of tacking placards on the trees about the campus. There
are others. A spirit of cooperation is needed to keep the campus
beautiful, a reputation that has already been earned for it; let’s
cooperate.
Students and faculty alike who believe in a liberal-minded policy
for the University are anxious for an expression of opinion from all
concerned in regard to the establishment of Saturday classes here.
The matter is of vital importance to all concerned, and all are con
cerned An expression of opinion should be made b\ student oigan
izatiot.s through the proper channels.

Open Forum
To the Editor:
Some local writer sent to me the verses
which below you see. They came un
signed as U. S. mail for which the pen
alty is jail. It seems that they accuse
me of idolatry and Wrigley love. My
answer is in “vers libree’ which means
in Ilunyak that it’s free. Here is his
note and next is mine, judge for your
self the better line.
from Him to Mo.
“Pygmy Chesterton!
Acolyte ....
To an idol of Brass
Sounding Brass
With Feet of clay.
Chewing gum!
You ....
With vicious snaps
Of jaws
Of bicuspids.

But ....
Chesterton is English.
It must be
That Walt Mason

.1 ay I> 'e.
Y’rs truly,
To the Kititor:
lu ease the unsuspoetinj; student who
road of tho student counoil’s action in
resenting the inter fraternity council's
resolutions regarding Junior Week laid
might think that the latter body had
entirely disregarded authority and were
not willing to eo operate with any (dan
that might finally be adopted by th
junior elass, a word of explanation
might be in order.
Several organizations and indi\ iduals
have taken credit for the origin of this
movement, but it is my belief that tin
discussion in the interfraternitv eoun
etl ante dates that of any other. At
least they brought it up actively as an
issue.
It was then the duty of the student
council to ascertain student sentiment
Did they ask for any expression of the
interfraternitv council or pan hellenicf
1 don't think I am amiss in saving that
both bodies are vitally concerned. The
student council relied on an expression
from a meeting of the heads of the
houses. This body is not an organiza
tion, and has no judicial power to en
force any action they might take. I
believe members of the student council
who attended this meeting will admit
that the opinions were not satisfactory
and were coerced by a series of short
motions.
It then resolves itself into a ques
tion as to whether the interfraternity
council acted wrongfully in passing
these resolutions after the student coun
cil had made its decision, even though
they disregarded the interfraternity
council. We think we acted rightfully,
but this is a rebuttable question. We
are presumptuous enough to believe
that since we originated the action we
should be allowed some expression on
the matter. Understand, student coun
cil, whatever plan is finally adopted,
we will cooperate.
Verv truv yours.
NELSON ENGLISH,
Secrntarv-Treasurer,
Interfraternity Council.
