Too Good to Be True . . .
Chi Phi Pledges Students
Scholarship Prowess
Amazes D Street Boys
Truth is stranger than fiction
and the Chi Thi's leaped from 16th
to first place in scholarship. Or,
as one of the bewildered brothers
was heard to exclaim on hearing
the great news, "It can t happen
here 1 hope!"
Modest though they may be
about their Intellectual prowess,
the D street boys have really got
something there. Since pledges
play so important a part in group
scholarship, exasperated scholar
ship chairmen for would-be cham
pion fraternities would do well to
abandon their slave driving and
Wheatles for - breakfast program
and listen to tho strangest success
story of modern times.
It seems that Chi Phi made an
average more than 2 percent
above any other fraternity on the
campus without any such classic
but unpleasant study-forcing
methods as long and frequent
study hall or quiz for freshmen.
It all revolves around a spirit too
seldom displayed toward pledges
but evidently very successful, that
of co-operation.
Co-operation.
And we mean the actives co
operate with the pledges!!! All
upperclassmen must help any
frosh who needs or asks for it.
He guides the neophyte as best
he can through the mental mazes
so cheerily erected by professors
and if he feels inadequately in
formed for the Job, sees to it that
the beginner finds a more fruitful
source of information.
Of course the pledges do a bit
of work on their own, too. Cecil
Hallowell, last year's pledge presi
dent, is reported to have forsaken
wine, women and song all last
year in favor of five or six hours
of study each night. This devotion
to what every young man's
parents send him to college for
was shown in spite of the fact that
no organized study hall was re
quired of the pledges. They
studied when and where they
thought it necessary, or, as one
upperclassman put It, "If they
want to study, it's o. k. by us."
Even the Actives.
The actives did Mil right, too.
Chi Phi claims, for last year, three
Phi Beta Kappas, one of whom is
also Sigma Xi, and a Rhodes
scholar, a record that any three
lodges would be glad to split up
among themselves. These boys,
though feeling a bit blue about
their 16th place the first semester,
weren't worrying particularly
about scholarship, and were in
their own words, "just plugging
along" all innocent like when It

Dr. Stoke Announces
Acheson of Readers

andria Tolstoy, the morning of Oct.
27; Robert Briffault, Dec. 12, and
Sterling North, Jan. 16.
Acheson, who takes the platform
Thursday morning, is best known
at the present time as associate
editor of the Reader's Digest. He
has established a reputation as a
brilliant platform speaker because
he speaks with a conviction born
of close personal experience and
observation of world current
events.
Many will remember him for his
work of administering some 80
million dollars for Near East relief
in Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria and
Greece. His career has been a va
ried one. Once he was a Presbyte
rian preacher; even earlier a
teacher. Governments have deco
rated him for distinguished
services. Acheson will address the
Lincoln audience on the subject,
"Freedom The Mental Climate
for Progress."

pearance at the University the fol
