These "Roo:.n Hoods" will cir culate to all over the campus to summon dates to the party.

Of late a lot of consideration seems to have been given to the status of unaffiliated students in activities. The campus concensus seems to be that the chances of an unaffiliated student in the po litical rat-race are just about nil. In our opinion the entire situation is vastly over-rated. We be lieve that activities require little other than hard work and a con scientious attitude. However, we are not blind to the fact that a num ber of persons, in a position to do so, are giving some extra push to sorority and fraternity brothers and sisters, regardless of merit. We do feel that the campus is not completely devoid of honest and upstanding leaders who try mightily to be fair. For that reason it strikes us that at least 60 percent of the present "situation" stems from the fact that a vast majority of capable unaffiliated students are never acquainted with the opportunities for fun, social growth and the real satisfaction of a job well done that comes from work in activities. Perhaps part of this is due to the fact that these students never come in contact with a great many of the Barb organizations through which they could reach other campus activities. For this reason we'd like to advance a pet theory which we have been kicking around ever since we resinned from the laudable or ganization about to be discussed. It seems to us that one of the finest opportunities for partially solving the contact problem, at least for women, lies in the program now embodied in Coed Counselors. Under the present set-up all frosh women are assigned "big sisters" when they come to the campus. These big sisters are drawn from the ranks of Coed Counselors. Both Greeks and Barbs are affected by the program. The prime concern of the organization is to orient entering frosh to University life a commendable aim. Herein lies the golden op portunity for BABW or some similar organization. From where we sit, it looks as if freshman Greeks are overly counseled, "mothered" and what have you. On the other hand, freshman Barbs tend to have a serious lack of same. Greek activities and alums knock themselves out to see that pledges are studing, having fun, working in activities and in general run to death. These little characters, then, must be dragged out to have coke dates with upperclassmen and to talk over their "problems" all of which have been aired long and loud back at ye old sorority house. The "counselor" usually squeezes her "date" in between a host of activities. The upshot of the whole thing is that each leaves the "scene of the crime" having earned an activity point, period. If the situation were handled by an unaffiliated group for un affiliated students, entering frosh would have a chance to meet girls with similar interests. It would cut down somewhat the number pledges fled Friday night taking of 6'rls to be "counseled" and perhaps prov ide more time for coun selors and coi'nselees to get to know one another. It would certainly give BABW an opportunity to contact each freshman coed and enlarge, if not strengthen, the Barb organiznn. As near as we can see the organization now "handing out advice" to frosh is expendable. It's only other function seems to be running errands at registration. This job could easily be handled by Student Foundation or even the almighty Mortar Boards one of whose pur- iday and AOPi Saturday.

Brit ain's Foreign Secretary Bevin said the pact will mean the preserva tion of peace. Other world heads claimed" it is the most important event in history." But while Western Europe was praising the pact to the skies, Rus sia was preparing to renew its propaganda attacks. The soviet nation Has already denounced it as seeking war, and with the offi cial disclosure of its contents, Russia will probably go much further. Just how effective the pact will be in actual practice remains to be seen. The treaty states that if any country attacks one of the members, the rest of the powers would consider it an attack on them. But each nation would de cide whether military force would be necessary. This clause might be the weak point of the pact. If one member is attacked, the United States Congress might de cide against war, as it has in the past. Then the purpose of the pact would not be accomplished. Whether one nation will decide to go to war for another, will be the deciding factor in making the treaty effective.
