THE SCROLL 393is a bill before the legislature to do away with all Greek letter, secret ordersor organizations of any kind in schools that receive the support of the state.However we are very hopeful of its not becoming a law.Columbus, Ohio, February 23, 1913.PAUL A. CAROTHERS.OHIO ETA. CASE SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCEMid-year examinations are over and Ohio Eta has come through withflying colors. Not one man was lost. This is better than was done by mostof the other Case fraternities, and for this reason we feel proud of ourrecord.The formal dinner-dance, held by Ohio Eta, at the Euclid Club on January17 was a big success. The dance was attended by thirty-one couples of whomeleven were alumni. We were sorry not to have our Cleveland alumni turnout better, but take most of the blame upon ourselves. There was a mistakeabout notifying them and consequently many did not know about the affair.The favors were brown Russian leather wallets containing the menu anddance program. This was a rather novel feature and all were very muchpleased with it.The junior prom was held on the twenty-first of February at Cleveland'snewest and finest hotel. Hotel Statler. About one hundred couples attended thedance which started at nine o'clock and the supper which was served at twelve.After the datace the Phis who were there, and the members of the dancecommittee, of whom two are Phis, brought their partners and chaperones out tothe chapter house for a dawn breakfast. This is something entirely newfor Ohio Eta and was a great success, considering the fact that it was merelyan experiment. Small hatchets were used for place cards in recognition ofWashington's Birthday.Our seniors are getting ready to take their two week's inspection trip.Brother Jungk and Beatty will go south to Chattanooga with the electricalsand Brother McDaniel to St. Louis with the mechanicals.

They werethe senior hop of which Brother James Pottenger was on the committee, andthe junior prom, Brother Wunder being the chairman. The latter was thebest prom that has been held at varsity for some time both in decorationsand in numbers.
