JUST PLEDGES
(Minnesota Daily)
Tho morning newspapers . carry
long lists of prospective members of
fraternities on tho Minnesota cam
pus. Tho publication of the list ends
a turbulent undercurrent which has
been present and growing among the
eligible freshmen since tho first day
of school last fall.
The majority of those who have ac
cepted invitations to join fraternities
have done so supposedly on tho basis
of a belief in tho ideals of their res
pective groups and with a view of
personal benefit.
For the benefit of tho men who
were not invited, it is only fair to say
that each man who pledged is given
a little more chance of failing to
graduate, not only by fairly broad
minded professors, but by statistical
records as well. The truth of such a
statement, calculated to cheer tht!
heart of the man who will novel
make a fraternity, cannot bo expect
ed to receive much consideration at
this time from tho pledgeman.
Let us who are viewing tho spec-

taclo attempt to find an answer to
tho question "Why?" And whilo we
are about it let us attempt also to sat
isfy that question, "Of what value?"
Theoretically, at least, tho two quer
ies should evoke tho same response.
Rarely does a fraternity prove to
be more than a stimulus and a med
ium. It may, indeed, return to him
only a small portion of appreciable
results for an almost indefinite
amount of effort donated. Certain
ly, it will give nothing to tho man
who does not bring with him a de
gree of native ability and talent.
Frequently it is said that the chief
asset which accrues to the benefit
of a fraternity man is tho opportun
ity he receives, as such, to gain r
erenerous amount of social training.
True, extremely true. And yet, par
adoxically, many rjicn have been
blackballed through the very lack of
an asset they might easilly, according
to that argument, have achieved once
insido tho fold.
Social prostijrc adheres to the
names of various fraternities. De
sirable, to be sure, and yet consul
erably more circumscribed than the
measure of campus homage would
indiacte.
"All the fellows will back vou if
you go out after anything," is the
bait dangled before prospect who are
suspected of harboring political am
bitions. Alluring, necessary almost
if success is to be achieved, vet in
how many instances are such obliga
tions kept and such ambitions real
ized?
"Fellowship," promises the alum
nus, reminiscing over the salient fea
tures of his own undergraduate
career.
A stable and reasonably enjoyable
residence.
Contacts strengthened by intimate
fraternal association, bringing busi
ness and political advantage in good
future time a few anticipate these
things.
So it goes, each consideration add
ing slightly. And yet the whole not
grossly overbalancing the scale in
favor of fraternal organizations. The
personality of the individual, indeed,
may serve to outweigh all else and
make it the part of wisdom for him
to eschew all thoughts of Greek affil
iation. After all, these considerations in
favor of membership may easily be
set at naught by countering elements.
The true test of whether a fraternity
membership is desirable to the candi
date lies in the number of contacts
he may reasonably expect to make if
he joins.
"Contacts" is a word so vague in
meaning that it is easy to take refuge
behind it and successfully defy all
comers though they advance from
every angle. It means much. In a
way it is none of the things recited;
in a way, all of them together and
much more beside. It implies a mea
sure of affection which transcends
the bonds of mere friendship. It
connotes assistance in more than so
cial training or material advance
ment. It is worth while. And if
tho rushee finds prospects of receiv
ing it in worthwhile quantity he is
intensely justified in accepting the
lacquered pledge token which binds
him closely to the group.
It was said that the deferred rush
ing rule would defeat its own ends
and that by the time the season
formally opened every available man
would have been "sewed up." If that
was the case, "ripping" was the or
der of the day during the hectic per
iod which has just passed into his
tory.
More than the usual amount of
complaint has circulated about the
campus the past week to the effect
that there has been "dirty rushing."
If the complaints are possible of sub
stantiation they ought to be pressed
immediately. If not, there is no ex
cuse for their transmission from one
man to the next.
DON'T SEND THEM HOME
(Colorado Silver and Gold)
The experiment now being con
ducted by the faculty of the College
of Engineering regarding ability of
students to remain in the college is
a distinct step toward the solution of
a very complex and trying problem.
Not a freshman failing in his hours
was dismissed from college, all hav
ing been granted permission to at
tend for another quarter during
which timo tho faculty can deter
mine tho actuul amount of work the
failing students are capable of.
Such a plan, though only tempor
ary one for the purpose of experi
mentation, should prove of such
worth as to become a permanent in
stitution. One quarter is not always
enough to allow the new student
time to become settled in university
methods. New to college life, ho is
new to tedious study. IIo has not
been compelled to make use of his
timo in the manner essential to the i
thorough Mastering of a course. He I
is not always capable of doing his
utmost under tho new environment.
A second trial granted, tho. real i
ability of the student will come to j
the surface. With experience the
first term to be his teacher, ho can
make the most of the problems, dur
ing the second quarter. If he is
capable, he will succeed. If he is not,
then the second trial will be as dis
astrous as the first a standing proof
that he is in tho wrong school else
ho is not fitted for college under
any conditions.
The only thing to be regretted
about the pending experiment is that
it is not being tried in all of the
schools and college of tlie Univer
sity. What is true about tho inex
perience of a freshman in the Col
lego of Engineering is likewise appli-j
cable to freshmen in the College of
Arts and Sciences. The first term
is but a venture into a strange land.
Who will not act unnatural in un
familiar circumstances? Certainly, a
second trial will show the real worth
of the student without compelling
him to remain out of school for a
term. Then, if he is not capable, he
can be dropped from the roll.
