The Greek Way
The Daily Nebraskon
Wednesday. September 24, 1953
It is altogether too easy when someone
steps out of line to hunt for some label to
stick on the person and identify him and
the group behind his label as bad. This
seems Jo occur often in the case of fra
ternity men. If a Greek is arrested for
drinking he is usually referred to as the
member of such and such a fraternity who
got picked up for drinking. The military
services face ihe same problem. If a sol
dier or airman is arrested for some of
fense, the headline comes out "Sailor Ar
rested for Car Theft" or "Airman Held in
Robbery." The result is that a bad reflec
tion is immediately cast on the fraternity,
the service or the group to which the
guilty individual belongs. An unfair prac
tice? Yes, in a way, but still an unavoid
able tendency on the part of most human
beings, including newspapermen.
The Nebraska Interfraternity Council
has been criticized frequently this year.
In some cases the criticism has been fair,
in some it has been unfair. Many of the
sound accomplishments of the IFC and
the fraternity system have been ignored in
the reporting of thrir weaknesses. The
Daily Nebraskan, however, would like to
make it clear that it feels that the IFC has
been steadily improving the University's
fraternities. Vandalism and on campus
drinking have been reduced drastically in
recent years. Also, the Greeks have prac
tically eliminated hazing and foolish Hell
Week practices. No group is wo: Jng any
harder than the IFC to increa e coopera
tion among the fraternities on campus and
to have the individual houses maintain
good social and scholastic standards.
Rush week and rushing is an especially
thorny problem which the IFC must face
and which has resulted in some com
plaints. Perhaps the only reason this is
true is that the IFC has tried to enforce
rules which are unenforceable. If a fra
ternity rushes a man all summer it seems
somewhat unreasonable for the fraternity
to be told that it is not to contact this
prospective pledge anytime during rush
week except the open house and scheduled
party periods. Rush week is the only time
when a rushee gets a real chance to see
most of a fraternity's members and he
certainly doesn't have much of a chance
to get to know them during half an hour
at one fraternity and a later party which
lasts only an hour or two.
Perhaps a more "open" program is not
the answer to improving rush week. Per
haps it needs no improving. The Nebras
kan is certain of one thing, the IFC lead
ers are sincerely interested in continually
upgrading the local Greeks and w ith such
ambitions mot e good is certain to come. As
for any 1 -ge scale investigations of the
system, this seems unnecessary. The
quality of men the fraternities pledged
this year is certainly as high scholastical
ly as any it has ever boasted. The fratern
ity spirit is also as high as it has been in
several years. Some houses did not get as
many pledges as they would have liked,
but every year is not a boom year for
business, either. Fraternities here are

Southern Scene
Arkansas's Governor Orval Faubus
boasts that he is sure that Little Rock
residents Saturday will vote against inte
grating public schools. His next apparent
intention is to convert the public schools
into private ones and open them for
classes. Faubus, however, realizes that
schools built with public tax funds will al
most certainly not be operated by a pri
vate group without the administration
clamping an injunction on them as il
legally operated. The Governor then de
clares that it will be "their (the admmi
startion's) responsibility for keeping the
schools closed longer."
Parents of Little Rock students have
already indicated that many of them
would rather see their children going to
integrated schools than no school at all. or
taking classes by television. Faubus has
thus been feeling growing pressure to
open the schools and let segregation slip
down the drain. Unwilling to admit any
type of mistake or defeat he has decided
on this type of back stage manuevering
which might relieve the pressure on him.
but will at the same time solve nothing.
Peaceful integration in the South seems
to be impossible. But still the United
States need not offer the world a mass of
apologies and sad excuses. Integration
and the redaction of prejudice is a grow
ing reality in this nation. Though there
may be outbreaks of physical violence,
most of the battles have been fought in
courts. Most of them will continue to be
fought in such courts.
The South, it is almost certain, cannot
afford to cast off public education. Pri
vate education expenses would simply be
too great for most middle class and lower
class families. The efforts by Gov. Faubus
to delay integration by attempting the
establishment of private schools will prob
ably prove totally unworkable because of
this. Time w ill tell, but it is certain that
with more than two-thirds of the world
non-Caucasian, whites a America cannot
continue to discriminate if they are to sur

areas are beginning to see the dawning
of a new era of progress and power.
