There had been no formal pro test made to the committee ques tioning the right of persons now in office to stay in office, but the executive group had asked for the advisory opinion to forestall possible misunderstandings and attempts to impede class activ ities because of legal technical ities.

Story on inside page. Alternate Plan Includes Rally, Sign Contest By HERB PENNY The annual noise parade, tra ditional Homecoming- feature, will not be held this year, heady of all living organizations decid ed at a meeting Tuesday. This decision is final, it was learned, after President Donald M. Erb, Alumni Secretary Elmer Fansett, and Dick Williams, educational activities manager, gave no op position to the decision. The meeting recommended the substitution of some other form of celebration, such as a bonfire. Jack Lansing*, president of Kappa Sigma, presented a plan for a rally and bonfire to be held in stead of the noise parade. The substitute plan, as out lined by Lansing, would include a parade and rally with a cere mony at the Dads' gates. He also presented a plan for a small bon fire. No opposition was given to the plan. The meeting was held after a decision by the Interfraternity council to abide by the decision, of the. heads of houses on the noise parade question. The coun cil had previously asked the edu cational activities board to pay $25 to each house for expenses incurred in the noise parade. No objections were given at .the meeting- to continuing the sign contest tradition. Abolition of the noise parade would give more time to devote to making the signs, it was contended. Lou Torgeson, ASUO president, announced at the meeting that the educational activities depart ment has declared that materials that are provided by individual houses to be used by the group as a whole will be provided for in the Homecoming budget and will not be paid for by the indi vidual houses. In previous years difficulty of this sort has been encountered by houses which pro vided torches for the noise parade.
