For the House, the vets have made
definite gains In several States. For
example, the vets picked up the two
Representative at large.
In the present Congress both have

FRAT DULLARDS
FACE STRAIN

BETHLEHEM, Pa, July "a
The faculty at Lehigh University
has introduced a new expedient
at that institution which gives
promise of boosting the scholastic
grades OF the lowest group Of
students. Under a new rule just
invoked, any fraternity house or
living group which fails to attain
an average for the group of
1.6 or higher during two success
sive semesters will be placed on
probation. This means that such
a group will be denied the priv
lege of holding any social func-
tion such as dances, dinners, ban
quets or house parties during the
succeeding semester.
An average of 1.6 is equivalent
to approximately IS numerically.
This new regulation will not be
retroactive in that fraternities
falling below this mark the last
semester will not be affected.
Since social activities form an
important part in college life at
Lehigh, to be denied these func-
tions will be felt keenly by any
group affected.
. So the faculty believes it will
have the desired effect Of max
ing the heads Of the various
groups adopt mandatory meas
ures for the individuals who are
low in their work.
For the past several years the
fraternities in general at Lehigh
have rsted below the general av-
erage of the student body as q
whole. It is believed by the fac
ulty that this new regulation will
tend to raise this rating.
