The amendment proposed by Mr. Bryant is as follows: "Be it enacted by the Clariosophic Society, that the offices of the Student Board of Publications be included and i incorporated into the society constitution, and further that no person be allowed to hold more than one office at a time within the society, excepting the offices filled by president's appointments." Mr. Bryant presented his amendment for the second reading and immediately launched a spirited debate, in urging passage, frequently interrupted by various members.

Martin Promises Cooperation With U. S. C. Presidents of six social fraternities on the University campus were sent letters last week by President L. T. Baker, in response to complaint pointing out the charges recently made against the organization of the German club and requesting that they attempt some measures to remedy the alleged situation, to preserve amity in the German club. The letters were sent as a result of charges made last semester in the (tamccock. It was alleged that the German club was controlled by the six fraternities, termed the "big six" and that these fraternities were causing by their action great discontent on the part of members of the club not members of the six fraternities involved and of the campus in general. It was alleged that these fraternities were engaging in unfair practices in regard to the election of new members to the club and that they were dividing up the offices in the club to the exclusion of all other groups represented in the club. A lack of financial control was also alleged. The six fraternities to whom letters were sent are understood to be Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Phi, and Kappa Sigma. Dr. Raker yesterday refused to release a copy of the letter saying that it was of a personal nature and that in sending it he was acting in an advisory capacity and was not attempting to dictate to the fraternities involved.
