NEW FRATERNITY HOUSES

Nearly twenty fraternities are planning to complete new chapterhouses within the next year. A notable feature is that every new chapter-house has one or more large sleeping-porches, some of the new houses providing sleeping-porch accommodations sufficient for all their members. One interesting new type is a chapter-house, with accommodations for thirty men, in which each pair of men will use together a study approximately 12 by 14 feet in size and an adjoining dressing-room measuring 6 by 8 feet, and will share with others accommodations on one of three large sleeping-porches.

There are now seventy fraternities and house clubs in the University of California. Practically all the great national fraternities are now represented. That a new era, at California, of alpha chapters has now begun has been marked by the establishment of Alpha Kappa Lambda, as a new national fraternity, with its alpha chapter at the University of California. The organization has existed heretofore as the Los Amigos Club. The fraternity's articles of incorporation state that its ideals are to develop "the social, moral, and religious welfare of its members, and also to foster and encourage among its members Christian principles, service, higher education, and culture and refinement."'

NEW GRADUATE MANAGER PLAN

John Allen Stroud, '13, captain of the 'Varsity Rugby team in his Senior year, has been chosen Graduate Manager of the Associated Students. He is the first Graduate Manager to be chosen under the new system by which, instead of a general vote of the student body, a Graduate Manager is selected by a committee composed of the Executive Committee of the Associated Students and seven Seniors elected by the Associated Students for this purpose, with the President of the University as an additional member of the committee. The seven Seniors so elected to this committee by vote of the students were H. W. Fleming, F. C. Mills, Milton Marks, H. C. Breck, R. M. Eaton, J. H. Quire, and E. L. Shirrell.

The sale of Associated Student membership cards for the second semester was 2787 as compared with 2644 for the corresponding term the year before. These cards, admitting students without further

charge to all athletic events on the campus other than intercollegiate contests, and representing, also, a subscription to the "Californian" without further cost, make for solidarity of opinion and action.
