THE FRATERNITIES ARE TO BLAME
Fraternity representatives will gather this evening
to attempt to find a solution to the problem of what
to do with probation. Any motion to do away with
it entirely will in all probability be promptly squelched.
That conclusion is based on the fact that the majonty
of the fraternities firmly believe that a probation pe
riod is necessary. So after a lengthy discuSS1on a
different set of rules will be proposed, a committee
will be appointtd to study these proposals, and the
question of probation will apparently be settled for
another year.
But if that is the only accomplishment, the meet
ing of the Interfraternity Council tonight will be a
flat failure.
For the fundamental reason for the great amount
of adverse criticism that has been directed toward
probation will rest unmolested. It will be allowed to
go unchallenged until next year when it will again
rise up and cause the violations of whatever rules may
be in force at that time. This menace which has been
the cause of so much unfavorable criticism against
universities and the fraternity system is nothing more
than the fraternity attitude toward probation.
There is nothing wrong with a properly conducted
probation. That is admitted by nearly everyone who
has studied the problem.
There is nothing seriously wrong with the present
set of rules governing probation. Council members
who favor the abolishment of these rules do so only
because they feel that they cannot enforce them.
But something is wrong and decidedly wrong.
It is the fraternity attitude.
What is this fraternity attitude? It is an attitude
that, first of all, defiantly says that it is nobody's
business what happens during probation. Any move
that is made to better fraternal conditions is met
with suspicion and reluctant cooperation.
It is an attitude in which jealousy, distorted ideas
of superiority, and sensual tendencies parade under
such mystesious and pleasantly-sounding titles as ritual
ceremonies, fraternal secrets, and chapter traditions
It is a selfish attitude in which fraternity mem
bers refuse to realize that the public performance of
their .seemingly harmless stunts is building up an an
tagonism toward fraternities that may some day blaze
into an active campaign for the abolishment of the
entire Greek organization.
Fortunately, all fraternities do not have this at
titude. Freshmen who undergo probation under the
supervision of these groups complete the program be
lieving that probation is worthwhile.
The unfertunate part is that these fraternities
must suffer in the public eye for the foolish actions
of others. For, according to the public point of view,
what one fraternity does, all do. The only distinction
is that not all of them are caught.
Let ug hope that too much time tonight is not de
voted to a petty discussion of rules and penalities.
After all, they have very little vital significance.
Rather devote more time to a discussion of the funda-
mental reasons underlying the failure of probation.
If each representative could return to his group
filled with the inspiration of a real "fraternity con
sciousness" and the benefits that both the university
and the fraternity system would derive from the devel
opment of such a responsibility then the Council
meeting will truly be a success.
To the Editor:
Before the fire-place and around the card table
in every fraternity house can be found a group of in
dividuals who, if we were to follow their advice, would
dictate the correct procedure in eveTy undertaking
concerning campus problems, national affairs, religious
beliefs and a hundred and one other issues.
The strange characteristic of the situation is that
the very group who is want to criticize everything
adversely is composed of a group of inert individuals
who view with calm indifference the efforts of their
fraternity brothers and other students who value their
time so that they cannot enjoy the state of inertia
that their less active friends seemingly enjoy so much.
In writing this I do not fail to recognize the value
of social life, much of which consists of so-called, "bull
sessions" and loafing around the house. This is no
small part of one's training and is important and the
person who cannot enjoy the restful conversation be
fore a glowing fire-place or over a card table is in
deed unfortunate.
It is the habitual loafers, those who, like the pic
tures on the wall or the mantel-piece, are permanent
fixtures always lounging lazily around the house or dis
turbing persons who are more studious that cause most
of the trouble. Every house has its quota and it seems
that most of them are upperclassmen. While I do
not believe that a student should be so busily engaged
in extra-curricular activities that he loses the perspec
tive that the good student should possess, the fewer
"lounge lizards" that a fraternity contains, the more
harmonious will be its undertakings. By frowning on
the loafer the numbers should be reduced to a minimum
and there will be less friction within the chapter and
underclassmen will have big brothers of initiative and
high ideals in whose life they can find inspiration that
will make them bigger and better for themselves.

IN DEFENSE OF ROUGH?
In the arguments of the exponents of "rough"
two salient points worthy of consideration stand forth.
The first of these is that the freshman who goes
through it always has a memory to look back on which
grows increasinly dear the farther he gets from the
day. Many a man who has gone through moderate
"rough" will tell you as much in all seriousness. Yet
the memory of rough week as one of the high points
in college life is predicated on a "rough" which, while
perhaps a sore trial in some ways, is not dangerous to
one's health or runious to his cuancc of getting a good
start in the second semester's work. A "rough" which
puts a man in bed for a week or two and gives him a
setback in his work could hardly be looked back on as
a happy memory.
The second argument commonly advanced in favor
of "rough" is that it gives the upperclassmen a chance
to see what "stuff" the freshmen have in them. But
the more this argument is considered, the more fal
lacious it appears. In the first place, upperclassmen
seldom have such a motive in indulging in "rough."
Instead, they are hunting for some fun at the expense
of the freshmen, though amusing enough is the fact
that they often complain of the sleep they lose and the
trouble to which they are forced.
While a moderate "rough" may show whether a
freshman works well under pressure the punishment
in the way of continuous paddling and starvation is
needless and dangerous. Furthermore, there are just
as efficacious and far less injurious ways of proving
a man's mert. If after living with a man for a se
mester, one i3 not a good judge of his qualities, it u
doubtful whether he ever will be able to fathom his
man. .
The main points in favor of "rough" hold good
only ag long as "rough" is handled in moderation and
with the dictates of common sense and decency. When
"rough" is carried to extremes, as it is undoubtedly
being done here at present, such arguments quite ap
parently become inapplicable and are used only as
camouflage for the true reason of "rough" desire
of its perpetrators for fun at the expense of others
and an unreasonable itch to avenge the miser'es suf
fered while going through "rough" themselves,

not tackle the legal problems very
efficiently."
Among the other requisites for a
successful attorney, according to the
speaker, are the ability to appear in
puolic, the willingness to abide by
the law as it is, reserving the right
to advocate a change in laws, and
the ability to obtain and retain con
fidence. "There is an element of strength
required," asserted Mr. Peterson.
"The lawyer wins respect by fight
ing by defeating people, by keeping
them from getting ' at they want."
There are four ..actors that make
the legal profession appeal to peo
ple, according to the speaker. They
are the close contact with human
problems, the constant variations in
work, the constantly matching ot
strength in contest, and the fact that
the legal profession most nearly ap
proaches perpetual interest.
