INMATES OF GOPHER
STATE PRISON DO BIT

Saltwater, Mimi, May 4.-lnmates
Of the state prison here have sub
scribed $4,000 to the three Liberty
loan issues and have aggressively sup.
ported other war funds, according to
figures given to the Associated Press
today by G. S. Reed, warden of the
institution. The gross total of the
convicts' contributions represents $50
per capita.
I'VE feel that the inmates of this
institution have reason to be proud
of this record" said the warden.
The first Liberty loan subscriptions
totaled $lS,000; the second loan
brought in $500 and the third loan
total was $5,S00. The fact that the
convicts invested heavily in the first
issue reduced their available assets
for the subsequent issues.
Since the first Of the year the con-
yicts bought $12,719.99 worth Of thrift
and war savings stamps. They start
ed the drive with a subscription OF
$5.7GSS3 in January.
The men and women have given
81 ,4G9.50 to the Red Cross, $75723 to
the knights of Columbus and S55 to
the Jewish fund. Their total sub
scriptiohs for all war purposes, thus
far, is $49,301.74

GIRL FRESHMAN
AT MINNESOTA U
TO HAVE CHANCE

Minneapolis, May 4.-The girl
freshman, entering the University of
Minnesota, will be placed on an equal
social footing with embryo social
lights if plans which have been tenta-
lively approved by representative sor-
critics and college officials are put
into effect. The approval virtually
sounds the death knell of the sorority
as an organization Of eyclusivencss.
Fraternities. however, will not follow
the lead of the feminine organizations
until forced to do so, it is said.
Plans for democratizing sororlties
are to be definitely outlined soon at a
meeting of the University Pan Hell
ienic council. Originating with a
g ,uop Of society girls, the "emancipa-
ion movement" gained support as it
;went across the campus and has since
been approved by the PanHellenic
council, NJ. L. Burton, president OF the
university, E. E. Nicholson, dean OF
student affairs, and Miss Gertrude
Beggs, dean Of women.
me object of the proposed plan, it
is explained, is to abolish exclusive
hess, the "rushing" system and to
place emphasis on scholarship. The
plan follows:
Make all freshmen ineligible for
membership. BY this means a mutual
acquaintanceship might develop for a
year IN which sororities might study
Che girls and the girls might study the
sororitics.
When students had reached the
sophomore year all who chose to enter
sororities and had reached a certain
prescribed standard Of scholarship
might make known the fact by regis
tering.
The girls then who had made no
choice or had not themselves been
chosen would be placed in a general
list and distributed among the socie-
ties by lot.
There are eleven sororities at Min
nesota university.

The government needs the tin.
Hereafter the cans must be carefully
