There has been a change in the plans
for the fraternity banquets. An effort
was made to have them, Friday night,

out last year. There are some objec-
tions to having the final limitations into
the fraternities so early i'm the term
before an opportunity rs given TO prop
erly canvass the candidates and ac-
cordingly the plan fell through. Most
of the fraternities were planning to
hold their final limitations and ban
quets on that night, however, until
Wednesday evening, when, at the vari-
Gus fraternity meetings the matter
was discussed and the several events
were postponed. Three Of the fraterni-

their banquets will occur. Phi Delta
Theta will hold its banquet at The Ger
