YV. Bradley read at a meeting of the club last 'I ucsday afternoon.

In Freshman Meeting Monday Of Last Week The importance of wearing "rat" caps was stressed at a meeting of all men in the freshman class held Monday night of last week in the chapel. The meeting was called as a result of the intensive drive on the part of the Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity to enforce the regulations requiring all freshmen to wear the caps. Of the 180 men in the class, 117 attended the meeting and each was required to present a cap or give a valid reason for his not having one. During the meeting the roll of the class was called. The question of measures to be taken against those who failed to at- sei tend will be taken up at the next meet- D{ ing of the fraternity. ? The meeting was presided over by d Luke Williamson, president of Kappa * Sigma Kappa. While continuing its drive to force all freshmen to purchase and wear caps, Kappa Sigma Kappa is also tak- f-v ing up the matter of the theft of caps ^ from freshmen by upper classmen. Several such thefts have been reported to the fraternity and drastic action will be taken if the practice continues. Carolina i,s nc To-day ? .
