THE FRATERNITY INITIATION It is a pleasure to note with the passing of each year that fraterni ties are beginning to realize that people outside the.inner circle are not especially interested in the horse play that accompanies some of them, and that this is something that is far better kept within the family circle than made a public event. It is not particularly interest ing to anyone not acquainted with a fraternity or its members to watch some young man executing the foolish command of another. The value of the horseplay is a debatable question, and there is something to be said on both sides of it. But its worth as a public amusement is decidedly questionable. Certainly the fraternities would -how a good deal better taste by keeping these things inside the doors of the chapter house than by forcing them to the attention of people, the majority of whom get their only impressions of fraternity life from Just such outward manifestations. 4 THE EDITORIAL IDEA At the very moment of this writing, the vital question is whether or not the editorials are read. If one could be assured they were not, a deal of time and thought would be saved, for they would not be written. But a haunting fear that someone among the subscribers may be looking for an editorial outburst, forces the manipulation of the editorial pen. At times the exercise is painful. So much is there to write about that there seems to be nothing at all that can be said. Reams of paper find their way into the -tfp te basket, hundreds of convolutions are expended without fruition, for tear that the innocent little thought may prove a boomerang in script. The college editorial probably represents the mood, rather than the deliberate thought of the editor. Some days we are savage, and long to write bitter excoriations about the existing wrongs, that will incite the students to rise ui nd correct the abuses. Yes, we shall reform the University, and make it a perfectly lovely place to go to school in. At another time we are full of the love of our fellow men. Every thing is all right after all. The petty grafter is a pretty good sort of a fellow, and who are we to criticise. We write amiably, lovingly, tenderly. Then something that some group of students or some department has done pleases us, and we pat them on the back. The next day they displease us, and we Jab them. Then we get an idea that looks good, and dress it up and put it in print. Or someone else gets an idea that looks bad to us, and' we expose the fallacy of it. And sometime all of these things happen, and only the considera tion of space and the readers' feelings, and the remembrance of the admonition to lay something aside for the rainy day, restrains an edi torial outpouring over scores of sticks of type. Sometimes, like tonight, we are just in a wondering mood. Do the readers think our reforming pen merely the desire for inky lime light? Is the love for the other man mere sickly sentimentality? Is the pat on the back cheap advertising, the jab an outburst of spite? Is the good idea an impossibility, and does the other man really have the right point of view? Or are all editorials pure space filler, as maybe this one is? What does the reader really think of them?

The chapter here is com posed of older and wiser heads, than most of the fraternities. They drink Herpicide in their tea instead of cream. All of the membes are very strong, strong enough to support their hats, but the two most dis tinguished fratres in universitate are Neil Brown and Harold Holtz. Brown is an actor and the ladies' idol in all of the two plays that the dramatic department puts on. His towering frame strikes awe and admiration in the hearts of the spectators, in short, he's good and beautiful to look upon. Harold Holtz is an Innocent and demure little boy whose winning smile and fluffy hair obtains for him the envy of all of us minor sports. His finger is sticky from having it in everybody's pie. The Acacias have a custom that is copyrighted by them and "boycotted" by all the other fraternities. Every Wednesday evening, from seven till eight, they entertain the various and divers sororities at an informal daunce. Chawming y know. That's why so many of them have had formal bids. In spite of this and other faults they are safe and sane. Here endeth the first lesson, let us pray. The next report is on Alpha Sigma Phi, written by one of its supporters. A: "Why are they mid-semesters?" B: "Because they're In the middle of the semester." Kitty cat, kitty cat, Where have you went; I've looked in the cellar All my hopes are spent. Your beautiful purring, I shall hear no more; I've looked on the ceiling And behind every door. O, where are you my kitten O, where have you gone?
