In House Fight

Loses in House by
Four Votes.

Lincoln, Feb. 5. - (Spccial) -
Facing a gallery filled with uni
versity fraternity and sorority mem
hers, Representatives, Georgc. Snow
OF Dawes, a fraternity man, led a
bitter fight against bill to legalize
two dozen Greek letter societies i'll
Nebraska.
Snow lost his fight by four votes
There were 81 members of the lower
house who voted for Shows motion
to indefinitely postpone its consider
alton, and SO who voted against it.
Il am against any move which will
give the university regents any more
trouble in handling fraternity men,
Snow declared. This lobby, sum
moned here this afternoon by fra
ternity men, in the house, is fair
example of the trouble facing uni
versity regents whenever they en-
davor to govern these fraternities. +"
Cheers for Reed.
Representative James Rodman OF
kimball declared the measure was
merely to give fraternities and soror-
,;ies power to handle property in
their names, rather than to force a
board OF trustees or individuals to
control property."
A few members expressed dis
favor with any measure that would
legalize any society which bore a
foreign name.
Representative Reed OF Logan
declared that il was all insult to
fraternity men to question even in
directly their Americanism.
The fraternity houses were the
nrst closed when the call to arms
came" Reed declared.
The galleries OF bright-faced girls
and boys from fraternity and sorori-
ty houses i'll Lincoln cheercd Reed.
Patriotism Not Questioned.
i AM not one to question the pa.
triotism of these boys Snow said
in closing, "but | do not favor any
thing that will Give regents aily
more trouble in handling ,hese So
cicties and | wish to point out that
right now there is law Oh the

ter societies in high schools.

cieties we would find them against
