Friday, October 30, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKA PeaI Harper Speculates . . Continuance of Fraternities , Uncertain During Wartime Will Be Revived Afterwards What will happen to fraternities during the war crisis? Whether this school year will mark finis to frats for the duration is a de batable statement. When queried on such questions, W. C. Harper, UN assistant dean of men, was reluctant to speculate on the fu ture of the groups. Dean Harper believes that fra ternities should be ready to ac cept the changes and modifica tions thnt will be dealt to the frat system during the war. Whether fraternities will survive the war is probably the main question, and only time will answer this ques tion. If the reserves are called in, the fraternities undoubtedly will become inactive. After the war it is quite probable that the groups will be revived. However there are many possibilities regarding the future whereby fraternity houses will play a more active part in the war. There is a possibility that the army will take over col leges as places for training men. In this case the army might feed, house, and clothe soldier students and use fraternities for barracks. This however is speculative and is only a possibility. UN Building Used. In 1918 the present social science building was used as a barrack for members of the Stu dent Army Training Corps. Fra ternities continued to exist through the short war as students under 20 were not being drafted. The S.A.T.C. fraternity men at UN were still active although not living at the house. However on many campuses fraternities were taken over by the government. This year fraternities are func tioning as during peace years. Freshmen are still freshmen and are more baffled than in previous years. The Intcrfraternity Coun cil thus far has not proposed any adjusting measures as to initia tion. There is a possibility that pledges who make their averages be initiated three or four weeks after the start of next semester providing they make their grades. However this has not been pro posed, and then too, the board of control would have to approve any T eacners . . (Continued from Page 1.) a folk dance festival at the coli seum. Richard O. Johnson, mayor of Lincoln, and Chancellor C. S. Boucher extended welcomes to the convention at yesterday morning's session in the coliseum. Dr. Walter Judd, physician from Minneapolis, and Dr. Rufus B. Von Klcinsmid, president of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, were principal speakers of the morning. Charles W. Ferguson, as sociate editor of the Reader's Di gest, addressed the general session Thursday night.

Ag Council Sponsors Party The Ag Religious council will sponsor a Hallowe'en party Sat urday in the activities building. The party will be mostly square dancing on the main floor with various games on the lower floor. Tickets for the party will be 20 cents per person and this will in clude refreshments. The purpose of the party is not to make money, but to merely provide worth while entertainment for students who are interested. The music will be furnished thru a P.A. system and the calling will be done by Ralph Copen-haver. measures proposed by the council. Fraternities are no different than all other groups who are feeling the ax of war. Country clubs, golfing clubs, hunting clubs and many others will be forced to retire for the duration. As to the future of fraternities after the war, it is probable that they shall be very much different to the frat of 1942, according to Dean Harper. For years fraternities have helped to solve the housing and feeding problems of about half the male populus at UN. Dean Harper believes, they have done a marvelous job in this capacity, and he believes they will continue to exist as long as students in such groups make better than average scholastic marks.

With Fourteen Advisers Teachers College Starts Freshman Guidance Plan To help students select sched ules and activities which will aid in individual development and training as teachers, a unique pro gram of guidance has been set up by university teachers college un der the direction of Dr. Ralph Be dell. Approximately 200 freshmen enrolled in teachers are affected by the new program. Dr. Bedell will have the aid of 14 advisors plus the Education 30 class. Investigates Qualifications. The aim of the advisers is to advise students in the fields in which they wish to teach and to make sure that they have the right personal and academic quali fications for this work. Good teachers must be able to get along well with other peopled and for this reason teachers col lege students are urged to partici pate in activities. It is also neces sary for good teachers to have correct speech habits, so that many students must attend the speech clinic. Good reading and study habits which are essential may be developed in special lab oratories. Supplements Orientation. This guidance supplements the orientation course acquainting the student with the university. It enables students to understand their own personality, character and aptitudes, it helps them to select a field in which they are best adapted, and to acquaint themselves with the problems of teaching. The freshman are urged to see their advisers every six weeks and upper classmen may arrange con ferences at their own request and convenience. Gj(r) j D) i; n n tit Visit "Lincoln's Busy Dept.
