Basic Democratic Ideals
Shown in Best Fraternities
"The kind of fraternities that
I like to think we have at the
University are the ones that
stand for only the best and that
understand the basic ideals of
democracy," Chancellor Gustav
son said last night at an Inter
fraternity Council dinner.
A fraternity is merely a sec
tion of society, he exclaimed. It
should be built on the basis that
every one or every group on the
campus is equal, he went on, and
should strive to accept the con
tributions of these groups.
The Chancellor spoke before
approximately 500 fraternity
men brought, together for the
purpose of meeting each other
and to aid in bringing fraterni
ties closer to the administration.
Older Leads the Younger.
"A University is merely a paid
cooperative effort where an older
generation walks hand in hand
with a younger generation. Thus,
the younger generation might
somehow meet the problems
more effectively than the genera
tion that is leading them," ex
plained Gustavson.
By accepting this leadership,
he said, this generation can make
democracy work. Fraternities

tions
for making
a democracy
r
"If you deny any race or na
tion the right to develop ideas
or to solve problems, or deny the
basic rights of individuals, then
democracy will lose," he pointed
out.
A-Bomb As Example
He cited the atomic bomb as
an excellent example of all the
nations working together. One
only needs to take a "roll call of
the nations" to find people who
contributed to its development,
he said.
In the medical field, it was a
Negro who found a missing link
toward the understanding of
arterio seterosis. He gave other
prominent examples of contribu
tions to spiritual, medical, and
physical fields which, if the
contributing group had been de
nied the right to "solve prob
lems" that respective field might
have been retarded in its
development.
Thus, he concluded, fraterni
ties on our campus are at their
best if they stand for the above
ideals, and contribute to work
towards a successful democracy.
