ANTE-FRAT FIGHT
 SEEMS CERTAIN University Students Active in Getting Bill Before
 Legislature

Tuscaloosa. May 1S.--(Special)-A bill abolishing Greek letter fraternities in all state institutions will be introduced in
 the legislature when it reconvenes in July. It is reported and talked among the nonfrat men of the university that a large sum of money has been raised by popular subscription among former stu dents of the two big state schools to be used in fighting the 'frats," and that members of the lower house have agreed to bring about the warmest fight that has ever been staged at the capitol. l It is also the opinion of members Of
 the Merritt recess Investigating commit
 tee who visited the university several
 weeks ago that the bill will unquestion- l ably be voted on; however they expressed
 themselves very doubtful as to its passage.
 l A number of recent occurrences at the
 university are pointed ont by the frat | men as evidence of the approaching fight. Among them the fact that during the re- | cent general elections held by the stu ! dents, nonfrat men refused to nominate | candidates for any of the offices, throw ing their strength to the fraternity men, who Were elected to practically all of
 fices It is the opinion of the fraternities
 that the opposition will use the fact that 
 all offices are now held by fraternity men in their fight to show the manner l in which the Greek letter organizations
 are alleged to dominate affairs at the university.
 i There has been no vis.hfe friction be-
 tween the two factions this year, which
 IS taken by many as the calm before
 the storm and both sides are said to be | preparing to wage a stiff fight in the leg | isiature.
 There is a general feeling of security
 among the fraternity men, however, whc feel that if the question is brought be- fore the lawmakers they will have ns trouble in defeating the bill as 1t is point ed out by them that a majority of tn. members of both houses are either fra ternity men and informed as to condi tions as they actually exist or have clost friends and relatives who will use theil Influence in obtaining the opposition oi | the various soons
