Penalty Hits
Misconduct
For conduct unbecoming Uni
versity students and calculated
to reflect on University students
a campus fraternity was. denied
indefinitely the privilege of rush
ing and pledging new members,
according to a decision of the
discipline committee made at
their meeting Tuesday, W. A.
Dalilberg, chairman of the com
mittee, announced Wednesday.
The committee also adopted a
rule which forbids walkouts with
penalty for violation being pro
bation of both pledging and so
cial activities for one year.
The committee is convinced
that this is not a year for stu
dents to act in ways which will
appear to the public that they
are not making the most out of
the privilege of being University
students, according to Mr. Dahl
berg, chairman, Pat Cloud, Dean
Virgil D. Earl, A. L. Lomax, Phil
Lowry, J. T. Ganoe, Dean Karl
Onthank, Dean Hazel Schwering,
L. K. Shumaker, and Astrid Wil
liams.
Do Not Disturb
Before the war we’d sit and
snore
In classes by the score and score
While on the profs would rant
and roar.
On air watch now our profs are
thrown
So sleep and such they must post
pone,
And so in class they yawn and
drone.
Come all you strong and stal
wart swain.
Let us espy that aeroplane
So with conscience free from
pain
We can sleep in class again.

Time Saved
Through limiting the numbf f
of people on dance committei ■«
and the amount of decorations,
the student affairs committee be
lieves much time can be saved.
By setting Junior Weekend i
week earlier than usual it will bo
possible to get the three majc •
spring term dances in ahead
the closed period of the shorten 1
ter mand will also provide mo: o
time between Junior Weeken l
and examinations.
Major Dances Scrapped

ted from the new social schedule,
namely, Winter Wonderland, Sig
ma Delta Chi and Alpha Delta
Sigma.
Closing of social events on

educational ectivities concert sc
ries. This was actually a. re
statement by the committee of
an existing University rule. Dat
ing is not influenced by the clos
ing of social events. However, tho
mid-week foodless pauses must
