fraternity loses registration
AUSTIN (AP) — The University of Texas has canceled
the registration of the Kappa Alpha fraternity follow
ing a three-month investigation into the hazing of new
fraternity members.
The cancellation will be in effect until Dec. 31,1999,
after which the chapter will be on suspension for a year
and probation for another year. The school said can
cellation is the strongest penalty available in disciplin
ing student organizations.
"It was evident that a pattern of hazing existed in
the organization's new member programs," Sharon H.
justice, UT's dean of students, said Wednesday.
"It is unfortunate that the registration of a 115-year-
old fraternity must be canceled, but hazing will not be
tolerated on this campus," she said.

Texas benefits from art donation
CHICAGO (AP) — Sara Lee
Corp. is giving major works by
some of the art world's modern
masters to the Art Institute of Chica
go and 19 other U.S. museums in
one of the largest corporate art do
nations in U.S. history.
Among the recipients are the
Dallas Museum of Art and the Mu
seum of Fine Arts in Houston.
"This gift is a millennium gift to
America from one of America's
greatest corporations," first lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton said at an
announcement ceremony today.
The gifts, worth an estimated
$100 million, are a way of "pre
serving the best of the past and giv
ing it the widest possible audi
ence," she said.
Sara Lee's collection, which in
cludes works by Henri Matisse,
Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin and
Camille Pissarro, is considered
one of the finest corporate collec
tions in the country. Eventually,
nearly 40 paintings and sculptures
will be distributed.
The largest number of works will
go to the Art Institute of Chicago.
Others receiving major works are
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York and the National Gallery
of Art in Washington.
John Bryan, chief executive of
Chicago-based Sara Lee, said 17 oth
er museums, many of them in cities
the company has a big presence, also
will receive one work apiece.
The donated works are part of
the personal collection of the late
Nathan Cummings, a philan
thropist and chairman of Consoli
dated Foods Corp., which eventual
ly became Sara Lee.
The company makes such
things as Hanes underwear and
Coach bags as well as a variety of
food products.
Cummings died in 1985.
In the first installment of the gift,
the Art Institute will receive 10
paintings, one sculpture and one
pastel drawing. The installment in
cludes works by Berthe Morisot,
Henry Moore, Degas and Matisse
— including his "Lemons on a
Pewter Plate."
Metropolitan Museum of Art
will get a Claude Monet — an 1872
oil of the artist's son Jean on his toy
horse. The National Gallery will re
ceive Roger de la Fresnaye's 1912 oil
"The Bathers."
A traveling exhibition of all the
artworks will visit several museums
starting next spring and end at the
Art Institute in 2000.
"This gift to the nation goes be
yond corporate philanthropy as we
have known it and defined it," said
institute director James N. Wood.
Other museums receiving works
are: Cincinnati Art Museum; Co
lumbia (S.C.) Museum of Art; De
troit Institute of Arts; Dixon Gallery
and Gardens in Memphis, Tenn.;
High Museum of Art in Atlanta;
Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in

Fla.; North Carolina Museum in
Raleigh; Portland (Ore.) Museum;
San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art; and Virginia Museum of Fine
Arts in Richmond.
