Frat Members March on the State Capitol
About 45 high school students staged a march on the capitol in Little Rock to urge Gov. Homer M. Adkins to sign a 1943 bill allowing students to wear fraternity pins. When the governor did not appear, leaders stayed to seek a conference after school. The measure, passed late in the session, would bar punishment for wearing fraternity badges, despite opposition from school officials who fear repeal of a 1929 ban on public school fraternities. The group said they represented roughly 600 members in Little Rock high schools and about 10,000 statewide.
