Bryants9 Bill l:
Is Rejected
After Heated Debate
Clariosophians Fail To Pass
Amendment To Limit Members
To One Office
An amendment to the constitution of
the Clariosophic Society proposed by
Stanley Bryant failed to pass at the
regular weekly meeting Tuesday night,
after about two hours of fierce debate.
The motion was proposed to change
the possibility of one member holding
more than one office at the same time,
and also to have ownership of the University
weekly publication asserted in
the constitution. Mr. Bryant charged
J. Wiley Brown and Julian Bradshcr,
co-authors of the constitution adopted last
spring, of failing to properly construct it.
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.

)S LETTER
ETERNITIES
Points Out Charges
Advises German To Preserve
Amity. 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.

Traffic Checked At
Green And Sumter
In order to secure a stop-light at the
corner of Green and Sumter Streets,
the University ER A. is checking the
number of cars that pass, how many of
them stop when they come to Green
Street, how many of them slow up for
the intersection, and how many of them
take no heed at the small sign in the
middle of the street, according to Fred
Kllis.
In one hour's time, from hvc until six
Wednesday afternoon, 87 cars stopped
when they got to Green Street, 107
slowed down, and 130 cars disregarded
the importance of slowing down. It is
hoped that when these figures arc taken
before the city council, immediate action
will be taken.
