is probably on every campus but every "Joe" isn't an inde
pendent, and every independent isn't a "Joe." If the audi
ence assumed what the. producer and writer would like to
have had them assume, the movie was a success in that itj
certainly presented the dark side of fraternal organizations.
A few important factors were ignored in the movie.
First, the housing problem which fraternities and soror
ities help to ease was completely ignored. On this campus,
for instance, where would the students live if we didn't have
these houses? Dorms? Yes, but where are you going to
tmt them? Could the University afford to buy the houses
that are already here and then buna aorms on me iana
It is doubtful.
A. second factor oh which the movie went amiss was
the unanimous feeling in the "Tri U." house that one fra
ternity was the best. I doubt that any sorority house in
this, country is unanimously agreed that one fraternity, is
"the best." Certainly this situation doesn't exist on tnis

the U. S. diplomats made a "cow
ardly surrender" to the Russians
at Yalta.
"They talk about Stalin break
ing his agreements," he said, but
"he never had to break one."
We surrendered to him.
The dispute in Iran continued
as Iran defied Britain and went;
ahead in nationalizing the indus
try.
. Airlines Strike
In the United States the United
Air Lines' pilots grounded their
planes and demanded a limit on
work hours and mileage. This was
the first strike in the United Air
Lines In 25 years. President Tru
man said that he had no plans to
intervene after the National Me
diation Board ordered the pilots
back to work and then called for
emergency action from the White
House.
The Senate Banking Commit'
tee approved a wage-price
trol bill denying the President
most of the broad new powers he
requested. The committee also for
bad price rollbacks beyond tne
average from January zs to
February 24.
Draft Bill
In the White House President
Truman signed into a law a bill
lowering the draft age to IBM
years, extending the draft law
for four years and preparing for
universal military training.
campus.
Then comes the mention of hell week. In this respect
the movie was just as much a slam to house mothers and
the women's governing bodies as to sororities. How did
the pledges get out of the house after hours to do their
errands for the actives? Here again is a situation which
doesn't exist to any great extent, if at all, in sororities on
this campus and probably exists on few campuses where
hours are enforced as they should be.
Philanthropies, which everyone must agree are worthy
causes, were ignored completely in the movie. On this cam
pus sororities either support or contribute to such philan
thropies as logopedic institutes, the sale of white canes to
help the blind, research in social sciences, the support of
cripled children or the financing of hospitalization for crip
pled children, clinics for poor children, financing medical
care for needy children and fellowships for creative artists.
Besides this, the sorority women help to support for
eign students at Nebraska and many of the sororities sup
port war children in Europe. Doesn't such work as this
need praise instead of ignoring? If it weren't for these or
ganized houses, how would such worthwhile projects ever
be supported?
The All University Fund is another project which the
organized houses support whole-heartedly. Yes, the inde
pendent students support it too and certainly their help is
needed, but it is through the organized houses that the
most money is raised.
These are just a few of the worthy projects in exist
ence on this campus which are supported by fraternal or
ganizations. Similiar projects probably exist on other cam
puses, but regardless of where they exist, the fraternities
suport them enthusiastically and deserve recognition for
them. Mention of such actions could well have replaced
some of the derogatory, exaggerated and over-emphasized
actions which are attributed to fraternal organizations in
"Take Care of My Little Girl."
Fraternal organizations have their faults and no one
can deny it. On the other hand, they do a great deal of good
and the good far outweighs the bad. As long as soroities
are going to be the topic of so many books, articles, and
now a movie, the reader or viewer must either make sure
a fair picture is presented or take them with a grain of salt
as I hope the audiences of "Take Care of My Little Girl"
did.
