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 groups.

"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.
