Michigan Fraternity Rushees May Be Required To Pay Special Fee
Entering students who wish to be brushed by fraternities will be forced to pay a special rushing fee to the Interfraternity Council if a motion proposed by the finance committee is passed at a council meeting Tuesday night.
The motion reads: "All entering students who wish to be rushed by a general fraternity shall register and pay $ 50 cent fee upon arriving in Ann Arbor."
This prospective measure is designed to prevent men from eating free meals at the expense of fraternities, under the guise of being interested in pledging.
At first a larger sum was considered, but it was thought it might discourage and would be impractical, to freshmen interested in fraternities.
If the measure is passed, it is estimated that a sufficient sum will be realized to pay expenses of the Inter- naternity Council.
High Honoraries' Fees Condemned by Students
National Federation Plans to Encourage Study of Civic Questions
Columbus, Ohio—(NSPA)—The proposal to create a laboratory for student interest in public affairs and a crusade against exorbitant honorary society fees were the main topics of discussion when the East Central Region of the National Student Federation convened recently at Ohio State University. Alex Gaal, chairman of the region and president of the Student Senate at Ohio State, presided at the conference, which was carried on by informal discussions. John A. Lang, president of the N.S.F.A., attended the meeting to present the plan for a study of public affairs.
"There is an urgent need for American college students to inform themselves on the subject of public affairs." Mr. Lang declared, "Careful study and analysis rather than emotion and casual persuasion should precede the entrance of students into public life." Mr. Lang described the development of the Institution of Public Affairs since the plan for it was presented at the Ninth Annual Congress of the Federation in December, and reported that 38 member colleges have already begun work on the foundation of public affairs clubs to co-operate with the N.S.F.A. and with the National Institution.
Following the address, the 42 delegates representing 16 colleges in the East Central Region voted unanimously to set up clubs in their own colleges "under the auspices of the local student governing board" and to chair the central office of the N.S.F.A. and the National Institution of Public Affairs."
Discussion of the subject of national honorary societies resulted in denunciation of the high fees paid to them, and a resolution that "honoraries as they exist now should and must lower fees." Plans were made to combat the problem in the colleges represented.
Discussion also included student activity fees and their uses; student publications and censorship; the honor system; the participation of independents in earlier bookstores athletics management; and fraternity and security relations.

Wyandotte to Have Meet
Midwest High School Tracksters to Compete in Kansas City
This meet is one of several which are to be staged throughout the country since the discontinuance of the National Intercollegiate track and field meet which had been sponsored by the University of Chicago for the past several years. A number of students now attending the University of Kansas have been former record holders at this meet.
Contestants for the meet will include winners and runners-up in state meet of seven mid-western states. The states which will be represented will be Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. About 200 of the outstanding athletes from these states are expected to compete.
Willemey announced that the night facilities, including the giant flood lights in the stadium had been offered for the meet. It is believed that at least one night session will be necessary because of the large number of contestants entered.
Hodge Podge By Howard Turtle, c 34
A letter from Harold Denton, c23, brings the news that this year's Honor Man may accept a position as personal assistant to Dr. Morgan, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville, Tenn. The opportunity to take the position comes to Denton as the result of a paper which he wrote last Fall on the feasibility of a national licensing system for the control of industry, and the constitutionality of such a project. "The job will give me a chance to see everything that goes on," Denton writes, "and will give me a chance to study national planning from first hand experience."

C. B. Realey, history professor, was telling the well-known story of the "Black Soldier of Calcutta," in which 146 British soldiers were imprisoned throughout a torrid tropic night in a guard house 18 feet square. The guard house contained only one small window for ventilation.
According to the history professor, the outrage was given a big play by the press. One publication, however, made a misprint and stated: "One hundred and forty six British soldiers were locked all night in a guard house with me small 'widow'. In the morning only 23 were left alive."

Alumni Membership Is Urged by Senior Leaders
In connection with the collection of senior class dues, a committee of representative students of the class of 1934 is today sending a letter to each member of the senior class in an attempt to increase the number of graduates paying membership in the alumni association.
Benefits of Organization Presented in Letter to 1934 Group
Rabbi Samuel S. Mayerberg, instructor in the school of religion, will speak on "Hitler versus Civilization" in the Memorial Union Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. The Jewish students union will sponsor the programs and anyone interested is invited to attend.
The letter signed by Howard Hoover, president of the senior class; Wanda Edmunds, president of Mortar Board; Walt Simmons, president of Sachem; Lila Lawson, past president, W.S.G.A.; and Glenn Cunningham, former athletic representative on the men's Student Council, sets forth the arguments in favor of an alumni membership with the resultant saving to the group as a whole.
Included within the letter is the argument that this is the first class within nine years to reject the offer of the alumni association in regard to the entire class taking membership for one year, and that because of the once incipient of the plan in 1921.
The letter states that if a minimum number of 350 agree to accept the plan, it will mean a saving of $1.00 to each student, since the plan includes the $1.00 voted as a class memorial in addition to the graduate magazine and a membership in the alumni association.
Seniors on going to the business office will be given an option of the payment either of the $1.75 dues voted by the class in their meeting May 1 or the alumni association plan of $3.75 which includes in addition to the class memorial, breakfast, and cap and gown dues, a year's subscription to the graduate magazine and a membership in the alumni association. If the minimum number accepts, those who apply for membership will receive the plan for $2.75, if not those who apply will stand an expense of $4.75.
