FIND FIFTY FRAT
MEMBERS IN TECH
School Authorities May Bar
Offenders From Athletic
and Other Activities.

Investigation into the fraternal af-
filiations of Mckinley Technical High
School students today revealed that
about 90 have violated the Board of
Education's anti-fraternity ruling by
joining secret organizations without
notifying school authorities
Since the photograph in a photog-
rapher's window disclosed the identity
of seven Tech" boys who were affil-
lated with the unrecogniZed fraternities
more than 40 other students at the
school have voluntarily admitted to
Principal Frank G. Daniel that they
belong to the debarred organizations
Mr.. Daniel said today that virtually all
OF them, boys well as girls, have
been holding important positions in
school activities and 'iare among the
finest students in the school"
The penalty these students must
pay, is to lose the offices they now
hold In the various school activities.
School off1cials fear that 1t will mean
the death blow to athletics and 9TH
er student activities at Tech"
As a result of the fraternity expose,
Principal Daniel called a special as
sembly at the school this morning
and told those members of the stu
dent body who had become affiliated
with the secret societies after pledg-
ing that they would not do so at the
beginning of the school year that they
were dishonest.
Nothing justifies lie," said Mr..
Daniel. I'VE might sympathize with
you in your desire to belong to fra
ternities and at the same time par
ticipate in school activities, but it is
a violation of the Board of Educa-
tons rules. And those of you who
signed cards at the beginning of the
year promising that you would not
join the unapproved organizations
are dishonest. You couldn't go
through life that way"
The open rebellion against the fra :
ternity rule by the Mckinley students
has alarmed school officials, who ad-
mitted today that they could do moth
ing but enforce the boards order re-
garding the secret organizations.
The penalty is the loss OF all school
honors throughout the high school
career of the student who affiliate ed
with the societies without notifying
the officials.
Stephen L. Kramer. first assistant
superintendent of schools, pointed
out that the situation at Mckinley
serves TO emphasize the necessity of
teaching honesty in the schools.
