ment. Included among them was
first, that democracy expects the
average person who holds a fran
chise on it will and can do some
thinking. "If this is not true," he
asserted, "there would not be jus
tification for our public schools, no
ballot to persons over twenty-one
years of age and other privileges."
Consider Public Good.
The second fundamental re
quires a certain proportion of this
thinking to be directed to the com
mon tax, the public good, he de
clared. Third, the mass of the peo
ple are expected to appreciate the
individual who thinks soundly of
the public good and single him out
for leadership. Fourth, the mass
will then support and work for
the leader for the welfare of the
greatest number of people, accord
ing to Doctor Beaven.
The least developed of these Is
the second, according to the speak
er's opinion. "We have gone far in
developing the scientific, the in
dustrial and intelligent side and
someone must now bring up the
humantarian, sociological or spir
itual phase," he declared.
Doctor Beaven urged open
minded thinking and charged the
youth of today with the duty of as
suming political responsibility to
ward American citizenship, in conclusion.
His appearance was sponsored
by the university council of re
ligious affairs and the faculty
committee on convocations. He
was recently elected president of
the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America and
is the author of "The Fine Art of
Living Together" and "Life's East

Spectator Shocks Columbia University
By Proposed Abolition of Fraternities
By Ruth Newman.
College News Service Staff Writer.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17. Colum
bia university this week was re
covering from the shock of the
latest bombshell exploded by edi
tors of Spectator, undergraduate
daily, which proposes that all fra
ternities on the campus be abol
ished. For weeks, Spectator has hinted
that the university Greeks should
not be taken at their face value,
but should be considered as politi
cal groups, bent on controlling the
student government.
These hints were crystallized in
the form of direct charges when
the paper alleged appointments
and elections to student offices
were dictated by a group of ten
leading fraternities, which sup
ported certain candidates as the
result of political "deals." These
deals, the editors charged, reached
a low point when members of the
houses combined "cold bloodedly"
to auction off student offices "to
the highest bidder."
Liken to Tammany.
Likening the situation to "the
sins of Tammany" and the ma
chinations of the notorious "Tweed
Ring," Spectator boldly proposed
as a logical solution that the Greek
societies be competely abolished.
Now the editors are sitting back
waiting for a storm of indignant
protest to develop into the type of
editorial and news copy on which
the paper thrives.
Perhaps they were a little sur
prised, however, at the meek com
ment of Dean Herbert E. Hawkes.
who last year expelled Reed Har
ris, then editor of Spectator.
"I think it is a wise thing to
have this agitation on this mat
ter," said the dean.
Commends Controversy.
And although he would not de
clare his stand on Spectator's de
mand for the abolition of fraterni
ties, he nevertheless indicated his
belief that the entire controversy
should be thoroughly aired with a
view to purifying the campus po
litical atmosphere.
Spectator's world-famous edi
torial policies, which have many of
the elements of crusading journal
ism, were supposedly tempered by
Dean Hawkes' action last spring in
dismissing the editor. Harris at
that time was engaged in an edi
torial war against a student dining
hall, which assertedly served poor
food and underpaid its waiters, but
many said that it was his cam
paign against "football profes
sionalism" which really caused his
suspension.
If the many followers of Specta
tor, numbering both enemies and
friends, thought that a mere
change of editors would serve to
check the crusading spirit, they
were wrong, for under the new
editor, Arthur J. Lelyveld, little
difference has been noted in its
policy of handling all news, partic
ularly controversial matters, with
out gloves.
Consequently, the paper is hailed
by some groups at Columbia as an
enterprising organ of student serv
ice, while others curse it as a
meddlesome, blatant and undigni
fied "second edition of a yellow
journal."
The latter now are wondering:
"What next?"
