the Elsie Ford Piper Achieve

able and consistent improvement
in a sorority during the last year.
Kappa Alpha Theta received the
Panhellenic Scholarship Award
for the highest chapter scholastic
average during 1952-53.
MRS. CLAUDIA Mason, dean
of women at Northwestern Uni
versity, spoke at the banquet.
Mrs. Mason told active and alum
nae rjTority members that group
living surrounds a girl with the
assistance and discipline to help
her meet the highest possible
goals.
Group living offers one of the
greatest challenges, she said.
When a member forgets the
standards set by the group, the
girl leaves herself and her group
open to criticism, Mrs. Mason
added.
"THERE MUST be an excellent
relationship between fraternity
women and independents," Mrs
Mason said. "We have been self
satisfied. We must recognize that
the independent girls still have
status and have achieved as much
as other girls."

THE ACTION of the play takes
place on the campus of Mid

Michael Barnes, the editor of the
school paper, writes a very con

Dr. Meeker, commenting on
the play, said, "The play is a
very humorous comedy about
college life. It is especially
amusing because members of the
faculty and student body are
portrayed. I'm sure that "The

Omitted Before Finals
SC To Seek Compromise Action
An action by the Board of Re
gents requiring mid-year com
mencement has forced the calen
dar committee to rule out the two
day refresher period before the
first semester exams.
Danny Fogel, student member
of the calendar committee, made
the announcement in Student
Council meeting Wednesday.
AFTER HEARING Fogel's re
port, the Council empowered him
to seek a compromise of a one
day "refresher" before and one
day "vacation" after the exam
ination period.
Mid-year commencement exer
cises have not been held since
1950, despite efforts to obtain
them. Reasons for the two-day
elimination, according to Fogel,
are the Wednesday to Saturday
overlap at the girl's dorm. The

Some of the complaints made
by the Russians are: Red China

rearming West Germany must be
dropped by the Allies; the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
must be abolished; and American
bases in Spain, Greece, and
elsewhere in Europe and the
Middle East be a subject to dis

Program Needs
The two basic needs of a farm
program are efficiency and
equity.
This was the conclusion
reached by Howard Ottoson and
Richard Ford in the weekly sem
inar sponsored by the Union in
which farm policy was discussed.
Ford cited Political Feasibil
ity" as the main reason for
present high and rigid price sup
ports we now have. By this he
meant the vote-getting power.
OTTOSON SHOWED how par
ties are not solving the main
problems of the farmer because
they are actually benefiting the
high income farmer who needs
it the least. Parities also make
no provision for perishable farm
commodities and neglect farm
poverty areas.

Complaint On
Made By Irate
Sigma Chi fraternity has been
put on social probation until the
end of the school year, J. P.
Colbert, Dean of Student Affairs
announced Thursday.
The probation is the result of
complaint filed in the Dean's of
fice by Ferris W. Norris, profes
sor of electrical engineering.
THE COMPLAINT charged
that five Sigma Chi pledges,
John Carper, Dwayne Burhans,
Jack Moore, John Sears and
Dick Johnston before leaving
on their annual pledge sneak in
terrupted his class by abducting
Dan Rasdal.
A letter from Professor Nor
ris reportedly requested that the
five students be dismissed from
the University, that the fratern
ity's charter be revoked, and the
discipline used as an example
for similar instances in the fu
ture. DEAN COLBERT had no com
ment on the decision other than
that the whole fraternity was
being disciplined instead of only
the five individuals because their
actions were representing the
fraternity. Professor Norris
could not be reached for com
