Greeks Stand Pat On Annual
Demand for Price Reduction Repeated By Fraternities
The interfraternity council last night unanimously agreed to stand pat on their last year’s decision to keep fraternity panels out of the El Rodeo, unless reductions were made.	•
The price which was proposed to the council last year was $45 for two pages, and $1
for each individual picture printed on the page. The council reiterated its last year's offer to pay the $45 for the page but set the price of individual pictures at 50 cents per picture.
FRATERNITIES OBJECT
"Our objection is not so much on the 50 cents difference in price that we are paying, but' on the principle that we are paying more than our share for the pictures that we have in El Rodeo.” commented Les Ev-anson. president of the council. He added that honorary fraternities get their panels for $25, but that the social houses were willing to pay the difference in price if they could be shown where the money went.
“We feel that a reduction in price ' will be accomplished.” commented

LONDON, Sept. 21—(UP)— The British admiralty tonight flatly denied rumors that its warships had captured the $20,000,000 German luxury liner Bremen.

Nazis Bitterly Condemn Arms Proposal

FDR Seeks Embargo Lift
Four-Point Program Set To Further United Front; Senate Isolationists Move To Block Revision
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21—(UP)—President Roosevelt opened the extra-ordinary session of congress today with a request for the repeal of the arms embargo provision of the neutrality act.
He asked congress to follow the road to peace in the European war by returning this nation to the principles of international law.
Roosevelt appeared before a joint session of the house and
senate and submitted a four-point neutrality law revision program. In addition to a repeal of the arms embargo, the chief executive proposed that American merchant vessels be restricted from entering danger zones. Thirdly, he asked that American citizens be prevented from entering wan zones or traveling on belligerent ships except at their own risk.
“CASH AND CARRY” ASKED
The president also asked that foreign purchases of American products be required to take title to such goods in this country. And finally, that no war credit* be granted in America to any of the belligerent nations.
These safeguards, h* said, can be provided either br legislation or by executive orders.
SESSION LIMITED Roosevelt asked for no other authority, but renewed hi« appeal for a non-partisan consideration of the program so that the oountry could present a united front. He recommended that the session be limited to the neutrality issue alone. In the interim, he said that leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties had agreed to stay in the capital and meet frequently with him on developments.
Although the president said that all efforts must be bent toward one end — keeping America out of war —he said a gloomy future for the old world.

The new “Fun for All” sports program of the physical education department will get under way today when men and women leaders of extra-curricular athletics meet at noon in the WAA club room in the physical education build-
Object of the meeting will be the
combining of previously separate organizations, with Harry Anderson, director of men’s intramural and inter-class athletics, and Miss Bernice Finger, of the WAA in charge of the merger.
“This new all-university sports program will result in expanding the opportunities for out-of-class athletics for the entire student body.” states Miss Finger. “Instead of offering individual sports such as golf and swimming for only a few weeks in the year, the seasons for all such individual sports will be extended to cover the whole year.”
men's departments will be combined. and each “sport club" will be co-recreational.”
Games affected are badminton, golf, swimming, archery, and tennis. Each group will meet once a week over the whole year. Team sports continue as before.
