An unpublicized group on this
campus received more than its
share of publicity and renown yes
terday when it went on record as
"unanimously being against the
proposed affiliation of the Lin
coln Cathedral choir." Altho we
find it hard to draw ourselves
away from the issue of the day,
we do it to dedicate a serious mo
ment of consideration for this
group who so gained thru their
publicity seeking methods.
The Barb Interclub council
chose to alter Barnum'$ famous
adage and followed their own
individual wording. They
thought, like even the most
normal big shot will think, that
"speak well if you can, speak
evil if you must, but for darn
cakes speak something." With
little consideration, we believe,
they did just that thing. And
they did the only normal thing
to do in the circumstances in
which they now falter. Had it
not been for their adverse ac
tion, we still would have been
shying away from this tottering
organization.
A PICTURE.
It is noteworthy, we believe, to

:m organizations, give fraternity nioinWrs on
the nation's cainpi t!io oi-oasion for self criti
cism anil self appraisal for the preservation of
fraternities.
A report, approving the college frater
nity system in its broadest aspects, issued
recently bv the Association of American Col
leges meeting at Chicago, states: "Since
man is to operate in and with groups, the
objectives of personal development and ?ood
citizenship can be achieved most effectively
in organized group life. The college must,
therefore, recognize as an essential feature
of the edurational process, a properly organ
ized and maintained student group life."
The statement continues with a recommenda
tion that colleges support and aid fraternity
gTOups which are fulfilling their opportuni
ties but that they do not withdraw from the
post of leadership now maintained.
A fraternity must gnar.l against the crea
tion of false standards. Speaking before a
session of the national inlerfratemity council
at New York, recently, Karl T.itzenherg, as
sistant, professor of English and adviser on fra
ternities at Iho I'niversity of Michigan, took
a sharp rap at Ihe "naive fakery" known as
"boosting." which makes the general picture
of fraternal life in America "discouraging."
Professor l.itenherg sharply criticized frater
nities for singing false songs of self praise
while allowing "outsiders" to atlack the evils
of the system.
"Fraternities as we know them today
are willing- to wait for outside criticism and
attack when they might well forestall these
things by a careful self criticism," he said.
"It is nothing short of disgraceful that we
have allowed that false, artificial, naive
fakery which we call 'boosting' to usurp the
place of decent and honorable pride.
"It is my firm conviction that your most
solemn duty is to convince your fraternity
members that they can no longer raise songs
of praise: ill at they can no longer lake a
laissez-faire atl'lude toward the system: lliat
tliey can no longer practice lial windmill tilt
ing which 1 have called 'boosting.' "
Professor l.ilzonhevg's position may be a
bit caggora1ed. On the other hand it iiiav not
be si ron g enough. t anv rate il should give
members of the (ivcek world something to
lliink aboui.

A Utile more ihan seven weeks ago, text
books, notebooks and other similar parapher
nalia emerged from hiding and were dusted
off for a "revival'' of learning. And there
upon ensued the usual 1vo weeks of feverish
aciivily on ihe campus. Some time later when
the crisis was passed, most students heaved a
sigh of relief, some felt keenly disappointed,
and a minority could show thai they were mak
ing real progress in acquiring a college edu
cation, nationalizations ran rampant for a
time as students made solemn resolutions to
get off lo a flying slart this semester.
Reminder of ihose resolutions were given
to us iho first part of the week with Ihe re
lease of first semester grades from Ihe regis
trar's office. How far we have progressed
toward keeping ihose resolutions is probably
none loo commendable, and the issuance of
semesler grades may lie just the tonic needed
in order to remember Ihe resolutions with a
greater degree of clarity. At any rate minds
were transferred from spring back to the
classroom for at least a brief moment.

The average conception, however.
Is that the "Barb" has a mind of
his own and won't let anyone get
awav with something he doesn't
like.
But that picture clears when
the high school sophomore comes
to the "whitespot's" capital city to
attend an institution of higher
learning. In 60 chances out of a
300 he gs thru an ordeal of
rush week. In ahout SS cases out
of those 60 that man will pledge
a fraternity. If by that time, the
freshman hasn't screened an ac
curate picture in his mind, he will
shortly.
There are three reasons, we
believe, if not more, why stu

generally most important, thty
don't feel like spending any more
than necessary for board, room
and recreation during their four
year outing. Secondly, they may
feel a certain independence that
thry want to rfetain. And third
ly, they just den't care about
being bothered with the extras
and fancies that more organized,
ritualistic living entails. It is our
fucss that very few very, very

A choice in the manner of livine is
the only distinction.
Since the days of Pericles,
however, the Greeks have been
organized. Altho the results of
such an organization is some
times questionable, the Greeks,
on the whole, have kept enough
organization to keep themselves
before the public eye. But not
since the days of a Mr. Wil
liams, have the "Barbs" had an
organization which is expected
of them. We sincerely believe
that most of these unaffiliated
representatives feel the same
way. At present they are slowly
goose-stepping the pace of prog
ress. And they know it.
If and when the ' Barbs" organ-iz-e,
make their wants known, and
accomplish nome of their personal
wishes, think of the potential
strength they could amass. It is
very possible thnt this can be done
with the ripht leader. An organ
ization might tfike years to build,
but it can fall, as it did about three
years ago. to the bedrock of a
fertilized mall.
The Student Union building
may solve their problems of or
ganization. Let's hope it does.
But when the Interclub council
has to turn their backs to their
Barb Council brethren and say
"no affiliation" unanimously,
their sincerity can be questioned,
and we can only say that they
should take their business to the
Student Union and not into the
Cathedral

Almost immediately, he began
his reconnaissance surveys of

to the development of the present

Dr. Barbour is also responsible
for the sharing of our geological
