POLITICALFIGHT
TO BE RENEWED
in MISSISSIPPI
CREEK LETTER FRATs
PROMISE TO RETURN TO
STATE COLLEGES IN NEAR
FUTURE
tBy Associated PRESS,


JACKSON, Miss, March 6-The
storm center of bitter political
fight for almost quarter of CEN
tury, Greek letter fraternities
promise to come back into State
colleges in Mississippi from which
they have been banished since
1912 by an act of the legislature.
Tabling of a motion to recon-
slider passage of the Zeller bill
repeating the exclusion law in the
house of representatives viii
place the issue in the hands of
Gov. Henry L. Whitfield, who is
believed to be in favor of the bill.
The governor is member of the
Kappa Alpha fraternity, entering
the chapter at Millsapps College
of Jackson.
The fight started in 1904 when a
student appeared before the house
committee, on universities and col
leges, that was inspecting the Uni
versity of Mississippi, and de-
nounced fraternities. The commit
tee signed a report condemnins
certain things in connection with
Paternity life at the school, but dih
not think they should be. outlawed.
A minority report was returned by
two members of Che committee and
a bill to exclude fraternities I'M
troduced by Representative w. A.
Ellis, of Leake county. The house
declined to consider the measure.
A few years later, Lee Russell,
later governor Of the state, gradu-
ated from the university and was
elected a member of the state
legislature. He introduced anti
fraternity bills at two sessions in
the lower house, but they failed to
pass. In 1912, while a member of
the senate, Mr.. Russell succeeded
in having such a bill passed.
Two years before the passage of
the exclusion law, the fraternitiss
acquiesced with the board of Hus-
ties and the Pan-Felenic Conis
passed a resolution to abolish
frats. This action is said to have
resulted from continued opposition
in the legislature.
Mr.. Russell was elected govern
or of Mississippi in 1920 for four
year term. Near the close of his
third year, a dance was prohibited
at the university by the school au.
thorities. It is said that Gov
Russell was blamed for the affair
by some of the students. There
was considerable feeling among
the students and the governor was
burned in effigy. Several students
were asked to leave school and q
number of otheEs withdrew.
Some attributed the occurrence
to feeling among the students that
too many restrictions were being
placed upon them while other
blamed the action of members OF
sub rosa frats said to be existing
there.
For twelve years there was mo
attempt to bring fraternities back
In 1924 Senator j. C. Ze.ler, OF
Yazoo City, introduced bill to re.
store fraternities, the measure
passing the senate. The bill, how
ever, was allowed to die on the
house calendar.
This year Senator Zeller intro.
duced the bill again. 1t was de.
feated then reconsidered and pass.
ed in the senate. 1t then went te
the house and was passed by a
vote of 20 to 40 and is held on
motion to reconsider. This motion
is expected to be called within the
next few days.
