Pledge Plight
'Great Light' Dawns;
There's 'Work' To Dp
By FRED DALEY
Staff Writer
Fraternity rush week saw 407
men pledged to fraternities. After
mad, three-day whirl of parties
and handclasps, they were able to
move suitcases, trunks, tooth
brushes and Mennen's after-shave
into the houses of their choice
and settle down to bask in the
warm light of new friends and
new things to see and do.
They were staggered a bit by
New Student Week, but for the
most part managed a slide through
without becoming hopelessly lost.
Registration was nothing like high
school, but they managed to get
their share of eight-o'clocks and
Saturday classes. Things were
pretty soft.
The first week of classes was
fine, too. Even buying $52.78
worth of textbooks was a thrilling
experience, but why, they won
dered, does Prof. Snaufboffen pub
lish a new text every year? Three
hour labs got a little dull, but not
nearly as much as an eight-o'clock
lecture in the Social Science audi
torium. Anyway, it sure was nice
to sit around evenings and watch
television. And why doesn't some
body answer that forsaken phone?
Then, one evening, a Great Light
dawned. It seemed that the' fra
ternity they had pledged did not

Modern Lanquaqe
"The Latin American field has
ample oppotuniity for young Anv
ericans in all fields," Miss Fergu
son said. "It is easier if you speak
Spanish," she said.
Miss Fergusson expressed her
belief that "Spanish is the most
important modern language for a
young person to learn." A person
can go around the world with Eng
lish and Spanish, she said.
pledge them just so they could
surround great quantities of food
and fill up a bunk. There were
a few little things that had to be
taken care of.
What is that thing called study
hall? Why, said the pledge as
two great salty tears rolled down
his cheeks and splashed off the
collar of his pink shirt, must I
miss my usual nine-to-ten coffee
hour at the Union or the New Dirty
Earl's?
With much rubbing of eyes with
knuckles, the pledges saw that
great mysterious world called
studying open before them. The
library became more than a some
thing to be walked , through when
it was raining outside; books were
more than a large dent in father's
bankroll. The pledge realized
there was a strange creature
called an "average" that had to
be pacified and coaxed along.
Certain other duties became ap
parent. Elbows previously used to
lean on the dinner table were
turned to more useful tasks, such
as shining shoes; phones were to
be answered, not listened to, and
the fraternity house took on a
tidier appearance as a result of
pledge-powered brooms and mops.
The pledge, after the first few.
days of disillusion and wild run
ning around trying to get things
done, finally began to settle him
self into pledgeship. He learned,
and is still learning, that there
is more to his fraternity than sing
ing loudly around campfires, go
ing to pinnings and occasionaly to
class.
The next months might be try
ing for many pledges. . Some may
sit in their rooms and bewail the
day they left the hearth and home
to come to this great sprawling
campus. But, the sky isn't really
falling, pledge, and the world isn't
coming to an end.

For Younq Person'
A native of New Mexico, Miss
Fergusson told of the great influ
ence of Spanish customs and cul

tion to previous visits.
Miss Fergusson has written

Guatemala, Venezuela, the South
west United States, Hawaii, Cuba,

travel," she said.

It Happened At NU
In one ot the geography class
rooms, there stands a large, but
quite time-worn, globe.
A chunk of the globe has been
gouged out, probably due to being
dropped sometime in its distant
past. The battered spot is located
on the western coast of the United
States.
Feeling that the globe's useful
ness was not over, some student
thoughtfully brought it up to date.
Printed in bold letters over the
spot is, "Atomic Bomb explosion."

To Study
Community
A University project to discover
what makes small towns tick has
been given the go-ahead through
the help of $90,000 by the Carne
gie Foundation of New York City.
The purpose of the project is to
discover new ways of bringing
about community improvement,
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin,
said. ,
"Chief responsibility for admin
istration of the project has been
assigned to Teachers College in
cooDeration with the State Depart
ment of Public Instruction," the
chancellor said.
The purpose of the study pro
gram is to determine leadership
qualities in small towns, where
they are most eastly studied and
transfer what is learned to educa
tion students.
A second aim of the study is to
test the procedure of improving
and coordinating community lead
ership, dedicated to work for a
better community through the
practices, of education.'
The program hopes through its
study eventually to develop, oppor
tunities for training future leaders,
especially in the field of school
administration and teaching.
Management of the project will
be under an executive committee
including Frank E. Henzlik, dean
of the Teachers College; Frank E.
Sorenson. chairman of the Depart
ment of Educational Services and

Rev. Mr. Domas reviewed and

the "apparent indifference and in

James Healy, who was the second
Bishop of Maine from 1875 to 1900.
His domain was a far-flung diocese
