Remember that to be be littled by someone has never killed anyone but it has strengthened many an individual's character. I am definitely not in favor of all types of hazing and I am very much opposed to dangerous pranks and anything that might inflict bodily harm. However, in my five years of experience with the fraternity and sorority hazing sys tem, I have seen it do far more good than harm. Don't condemn a worthwhile system because a few abuse its practice or refuse to accept its teachings. GERALD KATHOL Petitions Will Do It . . . To you who have classes on both campuses How many times have you stood in the crowd at Sosh at the end of the class watching the pouring rain or zero wind outside? How many time have you wondered what grade you would make in the hour exam next period at Ag, after your have spent half the class period waiting in the downpour for the Ag College bus at your favorite corner? If the answer is one or more, it is your duty to go to the Ag union Tuesday or Wednesday and sign the petition. This is your contribution to correctiong the present situ ation. The Ag Union is one evidence of what comes from suf ficient student petitioning but this time we don't want to wait five years for the situation to be remedied. The petition reads: "We, the undersigned, respectfully request the Board of Regents to provide transportation during class hours for students attending classes at the col lege of agriculture and city campus. It is furthermore re quested that buses make no stops between the two campuses and that the fare not exceed that charged in other parts of the city." If you are dissatisfied with the present situation it is your duty to sign the petition. P. R. Late in rebuttal, yes but also convinced that Mr. Don Baker was definitely sold a poor piece of information when it comes to evaluating the merits of fraternities and sorori ties. I heard his vigorous talk over the air on the Saturday night's broadcast sponsored by the Vets Organization and now I can't restrain myself bringing up a few interesting facts. The predominant impression Mr. Baker left with me was that he definitely did not advocate hazing of any kind. Righ now I am wondering why those "nationall known or ganizations," the Army, Navy, and Marines continued the practice of hazing even when seconds wasted meant lives. Does Mr. Baker imagine these organizations had the fore sight to see that the men they selected and trained had to be able to perform under the most adverse conditions ? I'm of the opinion that they did, so they had to teach these men some of the basic essentials of leadership to take and obey orders, to control their temper, to develop a sense of humor, and be able to take "it" as well as hand it out. I know most people are familiar with the system used in the Marine and Navy boot camp; the cadet system in the Army and Navy Air Corps, Officer's training, and in West Point and Annapolis; it's definitely putting the rookie through a period of humiliation and belittlement to see if he has enough control over himself to be of any value in the fu ture. If the individual hasn't obedience, preciseness, self control and a sense of humor his stay is short. Why shouldn't it be ? Why should these same benefits cease to exist in our fraternities and sororities or any other organized group. They deal with the same men and women, they use same methods, and they are preparing them for similar jobs in life. The only reason these benefits aren't derived by the individual is because he or she has made up his or her mind that the system is of no value and that nothing can be Engineer Soeicly Honors Bracket!
