"We are very much encour
aged with the results obtained
so far in the Kellogg fund
drive. We are about two
thirds of the way along now",
the Chancellor stated.
Space Appraisal
Negotiations are complete
for the purchase of the Elgin
factory building, he contin
ued. Each department on
campus is launching a
"pic appraisal" plan to de
termine how much more
space they need and whether
they will be included in the
Elgin building.
"It wCl be five years before
we fully occupy Elgin", Har
tfli continued.
An internationally famous
architect is now under con
tract to plan the proposed
Sheldon Art Gallery, the
Chancellor reported.
Parking
The parking problem is al
so improving, he continued.
Four hundred new spaces
have been added; and "al
though they're not all in front
f Love Library, we are ex
erting every effort possible
to take care of the parking
on campus", he said.
The Chancellor also brief
ly discussed the student tri
bunal and the matter of fresh
man drop-outs.
"Anything we can do to
help make this project (the
tribunal) successful, please
call n us", he said.
Hardin expressed concern
about the number of students
dropping OTit of school after
their freshman year. He
urged the student leaders on
the campus to think of ways
to give better recognition and
more emphasis to scholastic
ability.
Dean J. P. Colbert, Dean
of the Division of Student Af
fairs, explained how the ad
ministration and the Office
of Student Affairs could offer
more efficient service to the
various organizations now that
they were settled in the new
administration building.
The orientation session, pre
sided over by Dwaine Rogge,
student council president,
then broke up into discussion

"Are Fraternities Necessary?" is one
of the featured articles in the October
edition of Holiday magazine. Written by
Stephen Birmingham, an old frat rat him
self, the article says nothing revelating or
extraordinarily noteworthy but does give
a fairly accurate sketch of the vast dif
ferences apparent in the fraternity system
from campus to campus.
A full-page cartoon by Charles Addams
Is the real prize. Cut-aways in a mystic
looking fraternity house display every
thing from the boys gaming it up a batch
to the house mother being securely
gagged and bound, and
frightening initiation rites
underway to welcome a fT
new Drotner. wus is w
say nothing of the fellow
walking up the steps with
a mummy tossed over his
shoulder, or the scantily
clad co-ed sneaking out of
a second story window
with the aid of tied to
gether sheets.
Birmingham says oi nis
fraternity life: I have
e.e.
decided that I
most not have been a very impressionable
youth. I can't see that belonging to a fra
ternity had any effect, either beneficial or
adverse, upon me, although my mother
once blamed fraternity life for the de
terioration of my table manners." The
author's lack of any great "youthful" im
pressions has allowed him to write an
objective feature which every fraternity
man, sorority co-ed or Greek concerned
person should find of interest.
Birmingham doesn't' allow himself to
make any strong stands for or against the
fraternity system, but' does manage to
work in comments "on the touchy matter
of discrimination." He reports "the
N.I.C.'s (National Interfraternity Council)
stand has been something less than four
square. Somewhat hesitantly, back in
1922, the Conference declared that it 'did
not favor fraternities founded upon de
nominational or racial lines.' But since
that time it is hard to see that the N.I.C.
has taken much of a position on the sub
ject one way or the other." He adds,
"Still over the years, white-Christian
clauses have been disappearing from fra
ternity constitutions."
To illustrate the extremes of opinion,
pro and con, on fraternities the author
quotes men like Sloan Wilson, author of
"The Man in the .Gray Flannel Suit," and
Dr. Milton Eisenhower, president of Johns
Hopkins University. Wilson says college
fraternities are "stupid, juvenile and pur
poseless." Eisenhower calls them "the
anvils upon which the character of indi
viduals may be fashioned." The same re
actions could easily be obtained on the
University of Nebraska campus or any
town in the country with a population to
taling more than 10.
Highly significant is Birmingham's fig
ures on the growth of the fraternity sys
tem. "In the last 50 years the number of
fraternity chapters in America has more
than quadrupled. In 1900 there were 140,
000 fraternity men in the United States.
Right now there are over a million and a
half. And, at each college in the country,
each fraternity chapter continues to mean
nothing more nor less than each chapter
at each college decided to make it mean."
That sentence seems to contain the whole
story of the fraternity system, churches,
families, corporations, what have you
they are little more than a reflection of
the people who compose them.
