SENIOR PAYMENTS
REDUCED BY 1.25
Upper Classes May Cut Assess
ments or Employ Extra
Funds for Other Uses.
Substantial reductions in jun
ior and senior Yackety Yack
fees were made yesterday by the
Publications Union board.
One dollar and twenty-five
cents was clipped from the sen
ior year book payments and one
dollar from the junior fee. The
reduction plan passed unani
mously. . .
Last year the senior represen
tation amounted to $5.25 and
the junior to $3.25. The new
Yackety Yack fees from the up
per classmen will be $4.00 and
$2.25, respectively.
Classes Have Alternative
The action of the board will
give the two classes the alter
native of either reducing the
class dues as a wholeor leaving
them, at the respective levels,
Uiereby increasing the percent
age available for class use.
A situation such as arose last
year which culminated in an ex
tra assessment of a half-dollar
from each senior to make the
treasury break even can be
averted. The strengthening of
the class financial conditions
was one of the advantages con
sidered in yesterday's session,
according to Bill - Eddleman,
hoard president.
Offers 20 Per Cent Discount
In addition to the class fee re
ductions, the board also passed
a motion offering a twenty per
cent discount to all campus or
ganizations which pay their
Yackety Yack bill before Decem-

BRADSHAWSPEAIiS
ONFRAMNITDS
Dean Says SociaL Orders Desir
able but Not Essential at
Freshman Assembly.
"A fraternity " is a group
formed on the basis of congen
iality of interests for the pur
pose of having common, conven
ientand comfortable quarters
and social activity," said Dean
F. F. Bradshaw in addressing
the freshman assembly in Me
morial hall yesterday.
"It is not an academic or so
cial aristocracy, nor is it a po
litical club," he pointed . out in
answering the question: What is
not a fraternity? "There is no
effect in this University on un
dergraduate averages from join
ing, since, averages for frater
nities and non - fraternity men
amount to about the same when
academic aptitude is considered.
As for the social aspects, many
are asked to join , on account of
background, wealth, personality,
or other considerations ; it is
easy, therefore, to see that a
fraternity is not a social aristoc
racy. Politically membership
in a fraternity helps one to get
an introduction into campus
government and activity, but
that is as far. as it goes. Of
course ifraterhities are used just
as are other groups to assure a
group vote to a party."
Dean Bradshaw discussed the
advisability of becoming a mem
ber, saying: "If a fraternity in
vites you to join their group, if
you think that you can afford it,
that you will enjoy the associa
tions, and that this life will en
rich your own, I would advise
you to join. Otherwise, I would
say that you should not.
"However, a fraternity is by
no means essential," Deari Brad
shaw concluded. !'You can see
that some of the best and most
prominent men on the campus
are non-fraternity. Above all,
remember that you are choosing
a group with" whom you will live
for the next three or four years,
and decfde well even if you are
not reacy to pledge today."

VIREMlGHAUS
Graham Makes No Statement;
To.WTait to Consult Executive
Committee of Trustees.
s! The National Recovery Ad
ministration telegraphed Gover
nor Ehrihghaus yesterday a re
quest that President Frank P.
Graham of the University be re
leased from .his. duties here so
that he might head a national
consumers educational program
for the NRA. . , .
Approached yesterday in re
gard to the request, Dr. Graham
said he preferred not to make
any statement at this time.
Dr. Graham feels that he
should consult the executive
committee of the- University
board of trustees before reach
ing any decision. The executive
committee meets liere Saturday.
He has deeply regretted that,
owing to a recent illness, he has
not been able to do what he con
sidered his part as a member of
the National Consumers' Advis
ory board.
Dr. Graham has lately been
busily engaged in setting up fac
ulty committees in .the several
units of the consolidated Univer
sity to make constructive stud
ies of the curricula, budgets,
student life and welfare, and ed
ucational policies and oppor
tunities of the whole University.
The Administrative council of
the Greater University will meet
here tomorrow afternoon; when
these committees will be finally
agreed upon.; After several
months of intensive study the
groups will maketheir reports,
which will be sifted and inte
grated in a long-run University
plan as a part of a comprehen
sive state program.
