Greek System's future

"Let X equal all that a fraternity can mean to us,
all the values we can gain from It."
This was the formula that Mrs. George King, past first
vice president of Alpha Xi Delta and a delegate to National
Panhellenic, gave to over 600 fraternity and sorority
members at a Greek Week Convocation in the Union
Monday night
Mrs. King said that there were many problems facing
the Greek system today, but that she felt the fraternities
and sororities could meet the problems and continue to
contribute to their members and campuses.
"The college fraternity," she said, "is exposed to a
delicate position because of the new trends on University
campuses."
She pointed out that inevitably some of our fraternity
chapters will perish as campuses change, but that at the
same time many other Universities that have no fraterni
ties are seeking a Greek system for their campuses.
"Statistics show," she said, "that 71 of fraternity
members graduate. Fifty per cent of non-members com
plete college years."
She also explained that fraternities and sororities are
continuing to build new and larger houses all the time.
Mrs, King, who is from Alliance, Ohio, stressed the
fact that "these are changing times we now are living in"
and that these changes will also require many changes and
re-emphasis of the basic principles of fraternities and so
roritites. "If enough of the fraternity people care and are aware
of the basis of the college system today, fraternities will
endure," she said.

There is but one everlast
ing, eternal, sustaining word,
and that is that we are ap
proved," pervaded a series of
four lectures presented by
Rev. Joseph Mathews at the
University this week.
Rev. Mathews is director of
the Ecumenical Institute of
Chicago, Illinois. He is a
Methodist minister who has
traveled throughout Africa,
the Far East, Europe and the
United States, lecturing on
and studying the renewal of
the Christian Church through
its laity.
The YWCA and UCCF spon
sored the lecture series which
began with a panel discus
sion Sunday night.

Mathews was the featured
speaker on toe panel led by
Rev. Alan Pickering. Dr. Dav
id Trask of the University his
tory department, and Rev. Al-
vin Peterson were the other
two members of the four-man
panel.
"The Role of Religion on
Campus" was the subject of
the controversial discussion.
Mathews said that the uni
versity is an institution grap
pling to find what the role of
a university is in forming the
person." He described the
church as the ""group in the
no longer but not j et "
Mathews emphasized the
need of today's people to be
come a gadfly to all they
meet
Dr. Trask supported Math
ews assumptions and exposed
the plight of the modern
church. He said that "Church
es are generally unsuccessful
with people of college age."
Trask attributed this to two
major causes: first, the
failure of churches to under
stand young people in col
leges," and second, T hey
have not made adjustment to
the conditions of the modern
ge."
Trask expressed doubt as
"the norm for young people
of college age." He went on
to say that churches tend to
run "rough-shod" over doubt
Trask described the theology
presented to young people to
day as '"erroneous of unex
ceptable," and said that
churches must "update think
ing and conception of t h e i r
social role.
""Man was always a-seekin,
a-yearnin' after a hunk of
goals; and if he didn't find
it on this earth, he made an
other one. This image of man
was yanked out of existance
forever and forever and for
ever and forever (have 1 said
it enough?) and forever by
the scientific, urban and re
ligious revolution of the 17th
century.'"
Rev. Joseph Mathews made
this statement at a speech
Monday afternoon in the Small
Auditorium of the Nebrabka
Union. The topic was "The
World Revolution in the 20th
century."
"We are living in a mutation
in humanness," Mathews said.
"The 20th century is the sci
entific revolution come of
age."
The change from the medi
eval model of the universe to
the present model today be
gan with Newton in the 17th
century, Mathews said.
The view f man as a victim
of external forces, environ
ment, and early conditioning
is gone along with this view,
Mathews said. Today, Ein
stein is the symbol of the rev
olution come of age, jnst as
.Newton was the symbol of the
revolution's beginning.
Tve never had any more
life than I have right now,
and I never win have any
more life than I have right
now, Mathews said. "The
sense of identity comes from
the dynamic, not the static;
I'm not the same today as I
was yesterday."
"The heart of the scientific
revolution is statistical causa
tion: men organize clues of
the world and build a model
by which be determines the
civilizing process," he said.
"We live in a world in which
we have to build models,"
Mathews said. "The new im
age of man is that of the pre
dictor, who is responsible for
who be is, and responsible for
deciding for all men what his
tory should be." I
"The choice for man is no

Tuition Raise Threat Inspires
Plans For Letter-Writing Drive
The second point of a two-pronged stu
dent protest against a tuition raise went
into effect Monday night following a
meeting of campus leaders with represent
atives of the administration and the Leg
islature. The group, Incorporating the Student
Council Senators Program into its action,
urged all students to write to their sena
tors and to their parents recommending
a flood of letters to the legislature sup
porting bond sales for University construc
tion rather than getting the money from
a tuition raise.
The group, which Included the presl
idents of Student Council, Interfraternity
Council, the Residence Association for
Men, the Innocents Society and the editor
of the Daily Nebraskan, Monday started
a petition drive aimed at drawing 10,000
student signatures protesting the raise.
Senators program Chairman John Ken
agy Monday released the names, districts
and addresses of all state senators and
urged all living unit governments to co
operate in the letter campaign.
A spokesman for the group said after
Monday's meeting "Our aim is to find
the means of protest that will have the
most powerful and favorable effect upon
our senators. We feel that (Sen. Terry)
Carpenter's proposed march would create
more resentment than it would do good,
and we feel that the petition drive in it
self lacks the depth we need in a protest
of this magnitude."
Late yesterday it was estimated that
some 3.000 students had signed the peti
tion. Many of the copies had not yet been
turned into the Student Council at that
time.
Other developments on the tuition
raise scene:
Sen. Calista Cooper Hughes has of
fered to yield the floor to the student
group when it wishes to present its peti
tions and signatures to the legislature.
Carpenter told a group of students
at Pound Hall Monday night that "yon
have to act to get results." He said he
saw no point in a petition drive and again
offered to lead a student march on the
CapitoL "You're not going to get anything
unless you ask for it," the Senator said.
Another petition, rumored to carry
some 1,000 signatures; will be discussed
in today's Student Council meeting. The
petition urges that Council endorse and
Administration back a calling off of
classes Friday to allow a march.
The letter-writing program, deemed by
several senators as the most effective
means of getting action in the legislature,
was introduced to living units Monday
night by Kenagy, working with living unit
officers. Kenagy said it was hoped that
each interested student would persuade his
parents to write to their senator, as well
as writing a letter himself.
The petition and the letter campaign
are parts of the same program, according
to the spokesman for the group, which
first met Sunday.

Seats Going Fast
For Kit's Molly'
There are no more $3.00 seats left for the Saturday
night Kosmet KM show, according to Buzz Brasbear,
ticket chairman.
"We still have seats for the Saturday show, as half
of our $2.50 seats are sold." he said.
Tickets are still available in all price ranges for the
Friday performance.
There win be room for anyone vha wants to get in,
on either of the nights, but the better seats "are going
fast" he said.
Brashear emphasized there will be "no changing of
sections even if there are available seats."
According to Bracbear, this year's production is the
biggest best, and largest the Kosmet Klub has ever put on.
"The show has a $14,000 budget, and this makes it the
biggest amatuer production in Nebraska, and one of the
largest in the nation," asserted Brashear.
"We are practicing at Pershing now, and all technical
work is completed. The sets have been moved, and ev
erything is going along nicely."
"I would like to say that we of Kosmet Klub are grati
fied with the response we have had from the students,
the people of Lincoln, and surrounding communities. This
is our first attempt in many years to produce the show
for two nights, and the response is really encouraging."
There will be 2,000 seated in the $2.50 section, and 1,500
in the $3.00 section each night and any number of general
admission teats are available," he said.
Tickets may be purchased in the lobby of the Student
Union or the Pershing Auditorium box office.
"Come early, as the show starts promptly at eight
o'clock," EraEhear pointed out
