El Rodeo, Greek Row Re-opens
Greek Council Asks Price Adjustment For Yearbook Pictures
After weaving through a mass of legislation concerning intra-mural sports, a college peace bloc against war, and back dues, the interfraternity council last night opened up with a gale cf heated debate as to whether the Greek social groups should pay a certain sum to have their pictures in the 1940 edition of the El Rodeo.
Sterling exponents in favor of the fraternities going in “to see their pictures, if nor no other reason” were Neil Deasy, El Rodeo editor last year, and Jimmy Roberts, this year’s editor.
For an hour and a half the representatives of the 23 social fraternities se-sawed back and forth, arguing the pros and cons of the momentous question.
STATE ADVANTAGES
The outstanding arguments advanced by members in favor of the fraternal groups staying with the rulings and prices set by the publications board, stated the advantages to be gained by the fraternities with such a move, the desirability of seeing their pictures ir the book, and a general willingness to back the administartion.
In opposition, voices were raised denouncing the $45 price for a double panel in the year book, per house, and the additional toll of $1 for the picture of each member printed. Further denunciations against adopting the plan professed the ability of fraternities to "get along without the El Rodeo.” and a general reluctance to part with the $1 picture.
REACH PANEL DECISION
In one respect, however, the ranking council of the Greek letter groups reached a majority decision. They were willing, they said, to accept the ruling of the publications board regarding the $45 panel, if the board would lower the single picture assessment on each man from $1 to 50 cents.
Joe Wapner, secretary for the council, stated that the matter was to be placed before the various houses by their respective presidents when each group, when he said:
“We have received the ultimatum from the ruling heads.
