agitation by prominent Omaha alumni OF
the university, the f-raternitss Of Nebraska
have taken sane measures To decrease the
uumber of formal dances held each year
by the Greek letter men. The reform pIan8
which have been adopted viii go into effect
this year ami will cut down the number OF
dances from twelve to six.
A movement was begun early this fan TO
get the Nebraska chapters to a Xxi steps TO
cut out the formal parties. 1t was proved
that the expense Of several formal parties
each year was too great for the under
graduates to bear. The cost Of hacks.
dress suits. flowers. etc, in previous years
brought . fraternity mans college ex-
Derses up to an amazing sum. and resulted
in considerable criticism from members Of
the university faculty.
With the alumni OF several Of the Ne
braska chapters Urging reform. the Local
Greeks decided 20 effect some change that
would redu"e the cost Of the dances. Sew
eraI meetings We're held during the last
month and a ommiJtee OF member from
each fraternity was appointed TO suggest a
change that could be adopted without en-
tireIy doing away with formal parties
This reported to the chapters
yesterday, when it was agreed that one
half OF the fraternities should hold dances
each year, each chapter thus getting a
formal party every alternate year.

Prof. Smith OF the Nebraska experiment

The matter may be put up to

by the council adopting resolu-

license of any saloon selling any

This would cause a sudden
