The Phi Epsilon Phi, national Jewish social fraternity chapter at Northwestern University has been notified by the school authorities that the organization must raise its scholastic standing this semester or the men will have to disband the fraternity as it will be banned from the campus. The fraternity has for the past three years held the lowest scholarship record on the campus among the fraternities.

Three Jewish students at the University of Illinois at Champaign, Ill., two men and one woman, were among the twelve elected to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa honorary scholastic fraternity.

Two Jewish students, members of the senior class at the University of Chicago, both girls, and ten members of the junior class, five of them boys and the other five girls, were among the twenty-one midway students elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity.
