Two alternatives were presented to fraternity presidents
for individual vote by their houses at an interfraternity council meeting held recently under the direction of Les Evans, president.
One plan was to continue the old price of $45 for the double page plus $1 for each individual picture. A new plan was suggested by which each chapter would have a group picture in front of the fraternity house, and thus pay only $45 in all.
The votes tabulated so far have shown a unanimous disapproval of the latter plan, while votes are about evenly divided on the former plan.

Senate Kills Motion Proposed to Return Bill to Committee
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 —
(U.P.) — The administration today scored a smashing victory in the first fairly conclusive test of strength on the embattled neutrality revision bill when the senate rejected 65 to 26, a motion to recommit the measure.
The motion, proposed by by Sen. Charles W. Tobey, R.. N.H., directed that the measure be sent back to the foreign relations committee with instructions to isolate the arms embargo repeal provision from those dealing with the “title and carry” and other intended safeguards.
MONTH REQUIRED
Tobey contended that it would require at least another month for congress to dispose of the neutrality legislation, and that in the interim America might be dragged into the

President o Attend xposition
The pact of “mutual assistance” was almost identical with those by which Russia gained domination of Estonia and then Latvia after dividing Poland with Germany. The only important difference was that in the new agreements Russia ceded to Lithuania the old Lithuanian capital, Vilna, and adjacent territory — which Russia received as part of the Polish spoils. FINLAND STILL NEUTRAL Conclusion of the pact with Lithuania left Finland the only country on Russia’s side of the Baltic, still remaining outside the Soviet sphere of domination. But a Finnish delegation was en route to Moscow, on Russia's invitation, to ascertain what demands the Soviet may make on Finland.
Finland considers herself one of the Scandinavian nations—not a Baltic state—and was making military preparations to defend her neutrality if it is threatened, first having told Russia she would engage in any negotiations only as an “equal party.”
RUSSIA PROTECTS LITHUANIA
Russian troops were reported massed in large forces near the Finnish frontier but in Moscow there was no official information to confirm these reports.
Lithuania has no good harbors, so in her case Russia asked and received only the right to establish and garrison with Soviet armed forces land and air bases in that country’s territory.

German Dancer To Present Modern Style
Dancers, both professional and amateur, are invited to participate in the dance demonstrations to be given this evening by Ruth Clark, noted German exponent of modern dance technique, announces Miss Mary Jane Hungerford, SC dance instructor.
Miss Clark, who has recently come to the United States from Germany, will give a lecture and demonstration of modem rhythmic dancing in the social hall of the gym from 7:30 to 9 p.m. She will illustrate the noted dance technique of Steffi Nossin, in which gymnastics and rhythmatics play a prominent' part.
Students interested in participating in the demonstrations are asked to report to the gym in dancing costume at 7 p.m.
The dancers will be used in two groups. Miss Hungerford explains. Students who have had dancing experience will take part in the exhibition of professional dancing, while students who have had little dance training will participate in the demonstration of common dance exercises that can be learned by anyone.
Other students interested in seeing the exhibition may purchase tickets for ten cents at the door o the gym, according to Miss Hungerford.
Chairman Key Pittman, D., Nev., of the foreign relations committee argued for the administration that the legislation is nearing a vote and that no time would be saved by Tobey’s plan. He urged its rejection, and it went down with 7 Republicans and 1 independent joining 57 Democrats in opposition to 15 Republicans, 9 Demo-

Petitions Filed For Frosh Prexy
Prof. Earl W. Hill, who is in charge of the program at SC. said that there is a possibility that a few of the new class members may be forced to drop out through failure to pass the physical examination, leaving openings for new pupils.
This Is the nearest hope. Professor Hill said, for unless Congress increase its budget' for the program. no more students can be enrolled at the present.
Originally Congress was to expend $7,500,000 for the training of 20.000 American student pilots a year, on a five year basis. However, because the CPT is largely an experimental project, only $4,000,000 have been appropriated, allowing for the training of but 11,-

Dr. Hoyt related that after having heard the shots he rushed from his room. 253 Science, and found Mrs. Dickason lying on the stairway landing between the second and third floor and her husband half-way down the second floor with the gun beside him.
No one knew what immediate friction between the two could have caused the tragedy, but later police discovered that the pair had been separated since last May 13 and there were occasional quarrel* between them. Mrs. Dickason has been living at 2848 West Ninth street.
SURPRISE MEETING According to Joseph Mardirog, assistant in the office of pathology, and with whom Mrs. Dickason has worked in that department for an-proximately six years, she left the office at about 3:50 o'clock on her way to the Administratoin building to get the mall for the department, as she did every day. Dickason, who might have Just arrived in the building or have been waiting for her. is believed to have met her half way between the second and third floors, and, without any warning, fired the shots.
Associates in the science department including Dr. E. M. Hall, under whom she was employed as secretary, described Mrs. Dickason as a competent and hard-working secretary. Dickason was identified by the cards found in his wallet as a member of the Jonathan elub ana a private airplane pilot.
