Collegians Fight.
Early Morning
Street Brawl
FoDowsDance

Much excitement attended the dane
ing party given by The Scrollers, a
club composed of pledges to the Kap-
pa Alpha Psi fraternity at the
Sterling club, last Monday night.
Several unexpected and unpro-
grammed physical battles were re-
ported.
The most spectacular and noisy bat
tie occurred after the party was of
ficially over, in front of the club
house. So loud were the participants
in fist fight and bystanders that the
entire neighborhood in the vicinity
was aroused. The vile language of
those involved in the fracas indicated
that pre-Volstead spirits had flowed
freely. The two major battles of the
evening were allegedly over two
young women of prominent families.
Prominent bystanders and peace
makers attributed the trouble to the
fact that the young men had been i'm
bibing too generously of the bootleg
gers stock in trade.
These brawls have become rather
common recently among the younger
smart Set" Three or four fistic en-
counters occurred after a recent par
ty given by the Diplomats, a social
club of young men.

of the Episcopal situation in the
Africa Methodist church; consolida-
tons of schools and colleges; the
question of equal lay representation
on the Episcopal committee which as
signs the bishops are some of the
problems which will cause much dis
cussion before the conference ends,
according to the delegates.
] Nearly 20 schools and colleges
will be effected by the legislation
growing out of this conference. If
the proposals of the faction which
advocates economy measures on all
fronts are accepted by the conference,
these schools will be consolidated into
less than half the present number.
Setting an age limit for retiring
bishops and decreasing the number of
bishops by not appointing any more
until vacancies occur is the aim of a
strong section of the conference. An
equally strong party will advocate the
election of at least three more
bishops. There are 10 bishops in the
organization.

African delegates presented spiritual
music at the general missionary
