After a discussion of the tragedy, the Mnzama council voted to enlarge the size and functions of the committee on rules and regulations so that it can supervise more strictly the personnel and equipment of all parties. The committee, which previously has been composed of three council mem bers, was enlargd to five. The new members appointed ^are Kurt Siecke and P. G. Payton, both of whom are veteran mountaineers.

He also called attention to the fact that. Dr. Stryker’s death was the first to have occurred on au official Mazama excursion during the 35 years of tiie club's existence. '“It must lie understood.“ said Judge Stadter, in interpreting the club's ac tion, “that climbing glacial mountains is not au especially safe itastlnw. It has a very high element of danger and those who go on such exiH*<litlons must always be prepared for accident. “Many more tragic disasters take plsce in the European Al|>s every year than In the glacial mountains of the Pacific northwest Yet the haMrds are about the same," and those who go mountain-climbing might as well un derstand it. “While fatal accidents on Mount Hood have been few, th ore have baen many narrow escapen.
