IFC, Pan Hell Ban Freshman 'Walk Outs'
"Walk outs" by fraternity and sorority pledge classes at the University came to a definite and final halt today.
The Inter-Fraternity council and the Women's Panhellenic council today voted to ban all walkouts after Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, and Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, recommended such action at a meeting during the noon hour.
Failure of the social groups by self-regulation to prevent irresponsible exuberance by pledges on "walk outs" was the reason given by both deans for making their recommendations.
Recent "walk outs" have violated the rights of students and townsville Dean Woodruff said.
Classes have been interrupted and class attendance prevented. Property has been destroyed, normal quiet-hours have been disturbed, and through thoughtless handling of cars the lives of students and others have been endangered," he added.
Such group conduct reflects no glory on the organization if the organizations concerned are not able to prevent it, Dean Habein said.
"Walk-out" activities Thursday afternoon, brought to a head the matter which had long been simmering. Several pledge classes brought their activities to the campus. One woman was accidentally struck by a man during a melee. There were other instances such as deflation of automobile tires and blocking of traffic while the occupants of a car scuffled.
Pledge class "walk outs" were a "rebellion" against the year-long authority of the actives and with the encouragement of the actives. Pledges simultaneously disappeared from the chapter house. Upon their return the actives meted out punishments to a degree varying with the policy of each organization.
An active member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority today attacked the report that her sorority sister was murdered in a fraternity-sorority walkout.
The active, who refused to give my name, said, "the story is completely unfounded. It was a pure accident and the girl involved states it as such. No damage was done to any party."
First reports of the incident said that an unidentified member of the sorority had been hit by another unidentified fraternity man, during a pledge-class walkout.

Hungarians Learn Esperanto Budapest, —(UP)— Esperanto is being introduced as an elective course in the Hungarian "general schools," which correspond to the American grade schools.
On the basis of their early season showings, the Kansas eleven is a decided favorite. The team has one-won and one-lost record. It was edged out in the opener 14 to 13 by a strong Texas Christian team, and came back the past weekend to swamp an overrated Denver university squad 40 to 0. The Buffs were upset their first game by New Mexico, 9 to 6.
The Buffs will be playing under a new coach, Dallas Ward, who came to Boulder from the University of Minnesota, where he was backfield coach for the Gophers. He has 18 lettermen among the 35 man squad which arrived in Lawrence this morning and will work-out this afternoon on the stadium turf.
Pre-season predictions have the Buffalofighting it out with Kan-4as state for the conference cellar, but according to word brought by the scouts at the New Mexico game, the Buffs may have the manpower and coaching to pull some upsets before the season is over.
Both clubs will be in good physical condition. Charles Moffet, Kansas left half, is the only Jayhawker on the doubtful list. Colorado right ends, Ed Pudlik, and Jack Pixler, may miss the game. Roland Gregory, fullback, did not make the trip with the Buffs.
Coach Sikes, lineup will be the same as answered the gun at Denver with the exception of Frank Odion who will be back at his left half spot.
n their quest for a ninth straight league victory, the Jayhawkers will throw up a rugged defense and a quick striking offense which has staged only one sustained drive in amassing 53 points this season. The hurling arm of Dick Gilman, Stike's reconditioned quarterback, which accounted for three touchdowns in four competitions at Denver, may play a big part in the size of the final score.
Blame Season For A Cold
The cold epidemic on the campus is not unusual for this time of year, but could be lessened if students would take better care of themselves, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of University Health service, said Thursday.
Dr. Canuteson said there have been a large number of students admitted for treatment of bad colds, but because of seasonal temperature changes the number is no more than the hospital staff had expected. He added that if students would get more sleep they could build up resistance to colds. Those who have colds should be more careful to avoid passing them on to other students, he said.
