Fed Tightens Securities Margins Effective February First
The Federal Reserve Board ordered a 20 percent plus rise in margin requirements on most securities, effective Feb 1. Credit against stocks drops from 55 to 45 percent of current market value, forcing buyers to contribute more cash. The action, taken after market inflation rumors and amid talk of a potential cash bonus bill, was not justified by the act and was reportedly discussed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

Reinstatement of Supreme Court Justice Van Devanter in Sigma Chi
In a long forgotten 55 year incident a Sigma Chi chapter reinstated Justice Willis Van Devanter of the U S Supreme Court after deeming the prank trivial. The move, made last May and leaked Friday, followed efforts by member John S McMillin who pledged and helped initiate Van Devanter. The process involved requesting Beta Theta Pi permission, making Van Devanter one of the nation’s few dual fraternity men alongside Theodore Roosevelt. Other items note Marengo debate plans, WPA school work in Mount Vernon, Brooklyn schools closing for cold, and probate notices in Cedar Rapids.
