cording to Diane Theisen, as
sistant to ASUN president
Dick Schulze.

Considine: Unknown Fact
About Vietnam Victories
The fact that we are win
ning in Vietnam is one of the
least publicized and most im
portant aspects of the war,
Bob Considine, New York syn
dicated columnist said Satur
day. (St ' v
SYNDICATED COLUMNIST BOB CONSIDINE . , . speaks
t American Legion Banquet honoring Bill Galbraith,
"The basic purpose of this
conference," she explained,
"is to discuss the role of stu
dent leaders in state govern
ment and state politics."
COMMON PROBLEMS
The agenda for the meet
ing, which will start Friday
evening, will include open
housing, minimum voting
age, tuition increases, the
OU-NU merger, discrimina
tion and how it can be elimi
nated, state income tax and
the role of students in state
government and politics.
Resolutions will be passed
on each of these topics, she
added.
Although this is the first
Considine spoke before an
American Legion Banquet at
Pershing Auditorium honor
ing the return from Vietnam
of the new American Legion
Commander Bill Galbraith of
Beemer.
such meeting of state college
presidents, the presidential
assistant expressed the
group's hope that the confer
ences could continue.
Miss Theisen emphasized
that each of the schools
would have equal .representa
tion at the meeting.
"We do not want any of the
schools to have a feeling of
inferiority," she said of the
smaller state colleges. "Ra
ther than harp on our differ
ences, the conference will dis
cuss common problems.
All the discussion topics
except the proposed NU-OU
merger have equal applicabil
ity to each of the schools,
"In all that is written and
said about the Vietnam war,
no one gets around to the fact
that inch-by-inch we are win
ning," Considine said.
"It is evident that we are
winning when you consider
that we have destroyed 55
per cent of their rail trans
portation and blockaded their
shipping to the point of fore
lnv them to rely on China -for
supplies," he said.
Concerning the recent Viet
nam election Considine said
that some Americans were
too quick to shout fraud.
"My own Congressman
Robert Kennedy condemned
the election a full two weeks
before it was held," Consi
dine said.
"We have got to give the
new president and Vice presi
dent a chance to get going
before . we make any judge
ment about the election," he
said. v
Considine -also pointed out
why the .bomb would be In
effective in Vietnam.
If we used a nuclear bomb
or a hundred nuclear bombs
in this war, it would only
render North Vietnam a large
crater, he said.
The same elements that are
present today would begin
seeping Into the void and be -foi-e
long the same frustrat
ing situation 'would exist, ha
predicted.
Miss Theisen pointed out.
This, will enable the presi
dents to discuss common
problems, she said.
The presidents will confer
on two of the topics Friday
evening, and the rest are
scheduled for Saturday morn
ing. YEUTTER TO SPEAK
Dr. Clayton Yeutter, admin
istrative assistant to Gov.
Norbert Tiemann, will speak
to the group at an informal
Saturday breakfast.
Yeutter's discussion will be
on state government in Ne
braska, Miss Theisen said.
"One or two state senators
will also have lunch with
with them," she said, "'But
this will be a discussion, not
a speech."
Following the luncheon the
presidents, who will be
housed at Schramm Hall, will
attend the Nebraska-Colorado
football game as guests of the
University, Miss Theisen
said.

Lawyer Warns Greeks . . .
Return To Basic Ideals
Or Face End Of System
By DAVE BUNTAIN
Senior Staff Writer
The Greek system must
return to its basic ideals or
face its demise, Terry Bul
lock, Delta Upsilon's
alumni president at Kansas
State, told IFC representa
tives Sunday.
Bullock described the
pledgeship program which
has helped his chapter
climb to the top of Kansas
State's fraternities in the
last four years.
He charged that most
houses "have done just
exactly what everyone else
has been doing," and ig
nored the philosophy on
which they were originally
founded.
"The fantastic basic phil
osophy in the rituals has
been dusted off and used
only for initiation."
POTENTIAL
Fraternities, he said,
""take a young man at the
most creative and beautiful
period of his life. They
have a fantastic potential
to aid the man during this
period."
He blasted houses which
"take men at the height of
their ambition and squash
It right out of them. When
you initiate them and take
their pledge pin away, they
have nothing." ,
Fraternities have con
vinced themselves to accept
such things as physical ha
rassment and racial dis
crimination, which are '"not

the ASUN presidest would
chair the conference, al
logical outside of the sys
tem." Bullock, a Topeka, Kan.
lawyer, said that frater
nities have one product:
men, and one service to per
form: the process by which
these men are developed.
REDEDICATION
He urged the fraternity
leaders to develop pledge
ship programs 'to prepare
the pledges for life." Such
a program requies rededi
cation to the ideals of
scholarship, justice, friend
ship and individual merit.
"Rushing ends with initia
ton," he said, "'pledge-ship
never does."
If the University fraterni
ties had such programs,
they would have no prob
lem with the Adminis
tration. "The Chancellor
would be saying, 'give me
more.'"
Bullock said his frater
nity's pledgeshhip has only
three rules.
an enforced study hall
and scholarship program.
a clause of respect for
the house and housemother.
a rule prohibiting .
pledges from drinking
during the week. The house
has established an "honor
code" where pledges re
fusing to do their duties
are invited to appear before
the Pledge Council. This
council works with the
pledges to help them solve
their problems.

After standing cvzticn
at Pershing
the pledge is asked to leave
the chapter," he said. "We
have never lost a pledge
this wav."
CULTURAL PROGRAM
The Kansas State Chap
ter has initiated a biweekly
cultural program, which
was reorganized by a letter
signed by every faculty
member in the Arts and
Sciences College.
Under this program,
groups such as string quar
tets are invited to per
form at the house, he said.
The chapter is now
embarking on a four-year
program aimed at giving
members "a sensitivity for
the great thoughts of the
world."
His house has discovered,
he said, that "'guys will do
fantastic things on their
own if they know its alright
for them to do it."
The effects of such a pro
gram can "'only be shown
20 years from now, when we
see how these men are con
bributing to their commu
nity and society."
