Independents Start 3 Frats
Three new social-fratternities, Tri Chi Iota, Phi Sigma Iota, and Delta Lambda Iota, are being organized on the campus for independent men.
The three fraternities will share a central Iota council which will coordinate the three groups and plan for joint social acaivities.
The Tri Chi Iota members met Tuesday in the Pine room of the Union to discuss their charter, and to select a pin.
No Tobacco, No Liquor
The Tri Chi Iota charter states that "membership in this organization shall be open to students interested in fraternal living, and who are chosen on the basic qualifications of good character, this character including abstinence from both tobacco and liquor."
No officers have been elected, and arrangements for a house for next year have not yet been made. Will Be Local Groups
The new traternities will not be members of any national fraternal order, thus eliminating part of the expense. The three new organizations, with a present combined membership of 35 members, will also differ from most social fraternities in that there will be no compulsion to attend meetings, and that there will be no strict rules for clerges.
The charter for the new fraternity will be submitted to the University or approval within a few days.
Any men interested in obtaining more information can get full details from either Frederick E. Sutton, Dean R. Storbeck, or Robert E. Brownlee.
There will be two special busses to accommodate crowds attending Henry V tonight. One will be added to the Eighth and Ninth street runs at 9:10, and the other will run straight back to the University at 11:45, after the last show.

News Class Hears Wichita Editor
Make it clear, make it short, and tell the truth. George Gow, KFH news editor told a radio news class Tuesday.
The Hooper rating in Wichita for Mr. Gow's newscasts is 111. That's in competition with Fulton Lewis, Jr., who rates only 11.3 at the same hour.
"Newspapers often print what I will not use on the air. Little children can't read, but you can't keep the radio from their cars. There's no reason why we should offend any home."
"My greatest compliment was when a woman told me her four-year-old daughter listened to me regularly and understood me," he said.
Most newcasters select the news and rewrite it in complete script before going on the air. This takes too much time for Mr. Gow. He ad libs his whole program direct from the teletype. As a student with some radio experience said, "It's a nice trick if you can do it."
Bomb Wrecks Train Car
Oklahoma City—(UP)—Explosion of a time bomb or similar gadget in a coach of a Santa Fe passenger train between here and Fort Worth early today left half the car in shambles but did not seriously hurt the three occupants of the car, it was disclosed today.
A spokesman for the railroad said the bomb wrecked the rear half of a coach reserved for Negro passengers.
J. R. Hubbard, Santa Fe public relations official, said that a news butcher and a passenger were hurt in the blast. The coach was not derailed and was taken on in to Fort Worth, Texas, he said.
Cheerleaders Will Try Out
The railroad official said the Federal Bureau of Investigation and special railroad officers had launched an investigation of the explosion.
Foreman Strike At Ford Plant Will Idle 90.000
Detroit.—(UP)—The Foremen's Association of America today ordered its members off the job immediately in Detroit area plants of the Ford motor company.
Robert H. Keys, F.A.A. president,
estimated the walkout of 3800 men would close down the plants in
"three or four days at the most."
Orlando Into Italian Crisis
Cheerleading practices for any University student who wishes to try out will be held today. Thursday and Friday from three to five o'clock in east Robinson gym, according to Alberta Cornwell. Try-outs for cheerleader will be held early next week.
Rome...(UP) -Victor Emmanuel Orlando, 88, one of the big four in the first world war, agreed tentatively today to try to form an Italian cabinet. Francesco Nitti, 79, has announced his inability to bring the country's diverse political elements together in a cabinet of national unity.
Only four cheerleaders, Joan Woodward, Richard Wintermote, Dorothy Scroggy, and Rachael Cooper, return next year. Tryouts to choose the cheerleaders will be judged by faculty members and student leaders, in addition to members of the Traditions of the ASC.
At least one regular cheerleader will be present at all practice sessions this week to aid the new cannons in the yells, Miss Cornwell said today.
German Club To Hold Picnic
The German club will hold a picnic at 3:00 p.m. Thursday at Clinton park. Students planning to attend should sign the list on the bulletin board at the German office.
