"Twist that Tiger's Tail"
Thirteen Confess Improper Conduct on Nebraska Trip
Final Statement Next Week;
Stories Regarding Women
Unfounded, Says
Dean Dyer
Final statement regarding the investigation of misconduct on the Nebraska trip will be made sometime next week, according to an announcement made this morning by Chancellor E. H. Lindley. Thirteen men have confessed misconduct on the trip.
The presidents of all fraternities have been asked to sign the following statement: "As president of (blank) fraternity, I will be the investigator of my fraternity and state on my honor that I sincerely believe that no member of the organization which I represent was guilty of misconduct mentioned in the questionnaire."
Unorganized Men Respond
In the case of fraternities whose members committed offenders in those exceptions were not repressed, this statement has been signed by presidents of nearly every fraternity, and will doubtless be signed during the day by the reader, according to Dean John R. Dyer.
"The response from unorganized men has been equally satisfactory," said Dean Dyer this morning. "When these statements are complete the investigation is closed as far as the University is concerned."
"The two matters left for decision are the relative guilt of those implicated and the final disposition of their cases. Both these matters are being worked out by the University authorities in conference with organization presidents and student leaders who were on the trip," he continued.
"The response of the students and their organizations has indicated a thorough-going sense of responsibility for conditions at the University. The student body is only fair to say, before the matter is finally settled, that ninety-nine per cent of the stories regarding University women, and one hundred per cent of the stories regarding University women, are pure fiction.
"The other one per cent will be attended to in due time, and we trust, to the complete satisfaction of every student." University," finished Dean Dyer.
