Des Moines. Dec. S.-Three West

sign withdrawah from clubs yesterday
and were expelled from school, their
books turned IN and their locker keys
taken up. Affidavits were signed by
lS7 boys and sisls al told.

Iowa Statutes, a9ainst' high school fra
teFnities, sororities and other unsanc-
tiooed societies will he died In the Polk
county district court by Attorney o. n
Crockett. 8. sss
The action will be brought in the
names Of several young men students
at West high school affected Jby the
boards recent anti-frat campaign
The attorney said he expects to .flle
the petition imediately so that his eli
ents who have refused to. sign afIi-
davits forswearing membership in the
clubs may not be deprived of school
privileges. 1sss
The board refused absolutely to grant
the request Of the attorney made Tues.
day ct the regular meeting, that the
plaintiffs be allowed to remain in schoos
pending the outcome of the proposed
trial. The directors declared that such
concession would In effect nullify
their anti-frat rules and would be an
injustice to the other high school stu.
dents who have signed up and agreed
to quit the clubs. The boys who pass
up the chance to get out Of the I'M
sanctio1d societies will not be allowed
to return to school thru any board or.
der. the members stated.
Mr.. Brockett indicated that IL the
board refuses to reinstate his clients
he will make application for a cour,
order compelling the high school prin-
cipals to admit the young men IA
school.
Board members declared themselves
at a loss to. understand why Attorney
Brockett's clients do not play safe and
sign the frat withdrawal afldavits, as
these depositions would be void in case
the state anti-frat law u declared un-
constitutional.
Charles ~. Kinney, board member
said the anti-frat law has been de-
clared constitutional In, Washington
state which has a statute very simi-
lar to the Iowa law.
The contention Of the plaintiffs Is
briefly that the Iowa legislature had
no power to give the school officials
such wide jurisdiction over pupils OUT
side OF school hours.
