N CONSIDERS OUSTING OF FATS AT TEUS University Faculty to Probe Death of Student at Initiation. October 2,—A. com- of the Greek letter m, with a view of pos- ment, wa$ ordered at the University of Texas today following the death Sunday night of Nolte McElfoy during _his initiation into the Delta ‘Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. The investigating faculty committee, 'h the board of regents last night asked President H. Y. Behedict 10 ap- point at once, was instructed also to nvestigate thoroughly the eircumstances leading up to McHlroy's death, which has cast a pall over the campus. The popular 19-year-old foot ball splaver died in a hospital a few minutes after he had collapsed while crawling over a pair of electrically-charged bed- springs. Former Federal Judge R. L. Batts of Austin, a member of the board of re- gents and author of the resolution which asked the faculty committee to determine if all “boarding” Greek let- ter organizations Should be eliminated as rapidly as_dormitories can be bro- vided for students, vigorously eriticized the fraternity system as now existing. The judge is a fraternity man him- “self, as are all but two of the other members of the board, The regents indicated the MeElroy case in itself did not hecessarily furnish the basis for eriticism of fraternities, but that it had served to bring out an undercurrent of sentiment in the board against them. McElroy's fraternity had invited the president to make a thorough investiga-= tion of the fatal accident and of its mock initiation stunts. Fraternity of- J ficers yesterday said a complete Tevort would be made at once to the national heatiquarters in New York. A grand jury investigation was asked | yesterday, but this promised to be a | mete formality, as Distriet -Attorfiey Moore said no indictments were being congidered. He said he was convinced the fatality was “purely accidental and unforeseen.” GRADING FOR NURSES. _ Part-Time System Makes Service Available to Poor. There seems to be no shortage of ~ traihed nurses in any part of this eoun= try, but there 4s criticism of the system of distribution and pay of these essefi- tial persons. In New York #mnd some othef large citles a part-titié system has been adopted which has proved a useful ex- pedient and which will make nufsifig service avaijable to a large group of pa- tients who cannot afford and do not re- quite private, full-time attendants. It does not remedy theé uniform fee scale, » which compensates all nurses alike, re- gardless of individual vatiations in abil- ity &nd the comparative difficulty of the casés to which they are assigned. Castile Soap Shampoo CANADIAN RADIO | FIGHT UNSETTLED Further Action Anticipated Over Gentlemen's Agreement With American Stations. By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, October 2.—Although of- ficials of the department of marine de- clined to comment yesterday on the possibility that Canada might decide to abrogate the gentlemen's agreement regarding wave lengths as a result of the United States Radlo Commission’s refusal to grant added channels to Do- minion stations, it was indicated that :;wfl question was not regarded as seis led. Some further action, it is understood, iy be taken as soon a8 the mattat has been. dealt with by the hew radio eom- miésion goon to be appointed here. ‘The issue came to the fore when tha American authorities refused to provide an exclusive wave chanhel for the new b5.000-watt station being completed by thé Manitoba government at Winnipeg. The present station operates on 500 watts and will continue to broadcast on the present wave length, officials say, even though it may cause somé con= flict with American stations on the same band. Canadian and United States radio of= ficials are to meet next month in an effert to smooth out the difficulties. At present Canada has the exclusive vse of 6 channels as compared with 89 in the United States. Phone Messages Recorded.
