Mr. Edward Morrow
Omaha World Herald.
Dear Mr. Morrow:
In the Aug. 24 issue of the Omaha World Herald you signed an
article entitled "N. U. Fraternities Advertise for Members." You e-i-mitted
that you put it badly when you said that "it will come as a
shook to learn that they (Nebraska's fraternities) are now advertis
ing for members." You were referring to the magazine, "Fraternity
at Nebraska," sent out during the summer by the Interfraternity
Council to prospective mshees and their parents.
There is a possibility that, as you suggest, there are more stu
dents than before who do not care to join fraternities. But to say that
this has hit the fraternities so that they are having to advertise for
members is going too far.
Heretofore, the Interfraternity Council at the University of Ne
braska has been criticized as a "dead" organization a useless organ
ization with no power among fraternities and with no purpose. Last
year members of the council, which represents all the fraternities on
the campus, decided to become more active to have a definite pur
pose. Consequently the council published the magazine, to be sent out
to rushees, with the following purposes: v
1. To acquaint incoming students with the fraternity system as
it stands, not to extol the virtues of only one fraternity.
2. To give parents of prospective fraternity men an idea of the
fraternity system and to clear up a number of fallacious ideas which
have arisen about fraternities and which are based on a few isolated
instances, mainly in the eastern states.
These reasons were not meant to be construed as advertising.
They were meant for the young men who intended to join fraternities
anyway and who wanted to know about the system as a whole.
Fraternities as Nebraska are not trying to be glamorous, as some
would suggest. They are meant to be homes for their members and
they do serve that purpose. You said, Mr. Mortow, that the student
union had hurt the fraternities when you said that a few years ago a
man had to belong to a lodge if he wanted a davenport to sit on and
that now the student union provides a social center better than most
of the fraternity houses. Fraternities here are all for the student union
and do not feel that it has hurt them. Perhaps you do not know that
it has hurt them. Perhaps you do not know that it was largely fratern
ity men who campaigned for the union and worked diligently to obtain
It. Those fraternity men were editors of this publication and members
of the Innocents society.
It was these same men who campaigned for better housing con-

ditions for both men and women unaffiliated students; for a substan
tial appropriation by the legislature for the university; and for a new
library to provide pleasant and adequate study and research space for
all students.
These are just a few of the major projects which fraternity men
have aided and the same feelings which prompted them to assist with
these projects are the feelings which prompted them to publish their
brochure, "Fraternities at Nebraska," during the past summer. The
fraternities wanted to assist their future fellow students, and they
wanted to assist each other. In other words they were following a
policy of "All for one, one for all."

stated, "And may I add my be
lief that if our civilization is to
be preserved, we must cherish
more dearly and we must culti
vate more seriously the spiritual
phases of human life. We hope
that each of you who has been a
church member at home will af
filiate with your church here, if
you have not joined a church, now
would be an appropriate time to
do so. Students find a cordial wel
come in all Lincoln churches."
New students welcomed.
The chancellor was introduced
by Dean Nels A. Bengtson of the
Junior Division who announced

into the Americas, but the fact
that they might have progressed
this far in their plans is most re
vealing. It was interesting to note that
the president's action to make safe
our defensive waters has several
precedents. That of John Adams in
clearing out the waters of the
Carribbean, and Thomas Jeffer
son's pursuit of the Barbary Pi
rates in the Mediterranean.
That the president's speech is
not his opinion alone is evidenced
by the fact that it was approved
yesterday morning in conference
with leaders of both political par
ties in congress. It is a wise presi
dent who consults his congress be
fore taking such a drastic step in
our foreign policy.
