BY THE OBSERVER.
There is much potential dyna
mite in the new barb organization
which was placed on its own feet
with the election of officers, Tues
day evening. If the present group
of barb representatives develop the
mnvoment there are Stron. Possi
bilities that they will give the
fraternal factions more than a
race for the money.
Yesterday a non-ainuaieu stu
dent asked: "Now that the f rater
to have succeeded in
starting a new Barb council, why
don't the barbs take steps towara
creating a new Interfraternity
council?"
The frame of mind of this par
ticular student Is hard to under
stand. In reality what fraternities
have done, (for without their sup
port and co-operation the present
barb movement could never have
been launched), is to set in motion
a macnine wnicn may evcm.uoujr
