IFC Warrants
Self-Evaluation
No organization, community, country or municipa3y
operating under democratic assumptions, existing as a leg-
islative, judicial or executive power, should ever per-
petuate so long that it fails to hesitate for an objective
evaluation.
After Wednesday night's action at the Interfraternity
Council (IFC) meeting and specific former actions, we f
feel such a study should be made by the almighty IFC
itself. ' I
Three University social fraternities were fined a total
of $550 for violations of IFC by-laws. We are not taking
issue with the Council's right to take action when it sees
fit. When rules that govern society are broken there must
be an able bodied agency to enforce the rules in an at-
tempt to discourage any further violations. It is also
written in the foundations of democracy that the severity
of the punishment shall match the crime. Herein lies our
argument.
To clarify matters we are speaking of the two fra-
ternitiei who were fined $200 each for the rules their re- f
spective pledge classes broke in recent trips. There is no I
doubt that the fraternities did go beyond the IFC regula-
tions outlining pledge sneaks. Therefore, a punishment
shonld naturally befall these houses or pledge classes.
Only a few short weeks ago we, among others, con-
gratulated the Council and certain members for its de-
vised plan to cut the increasing costs of fraternity man- 1
agement (Fraternity Management Plan). Now we see the
same organization slapping two of its constituents with f
sizeable fines for seemingly small violations made by the
pledge classes. The $400 will undoubtedly come from the
entire membership of the houses and not the pledge
classes individually. The point being: how can fraterni-
ties expect to cut costs by subscribing to one plan when
they pay the difference through another portal? To us
this action taken by the IFC may have been a bit in-
consistent.
Another Instance. In the same meeting the IFC
passed a resolution to formulate a tax committee to study
basic tax structure of the University fraternity system
because "gome fraternities are having difficulty filling f
their houses." f
Only two weeks ago the IFC announced the coloniza-
tion of a new fraternity on this campus next fall. Some-
where something doesn't click. If there is such a differ-
ence in "monthly house bills between a dormitory and a
fraternity," why bring another fraternity to our Univer-
sity with the possibility of running aground via financial
difficulties? Or if there are houses hurting financially be-
cause they do not have sufficient numbers, why push I
them out of existence by establishing a new competitor?
As we pointed out at the start, we feel a self-evalua-
tion is necessary; not a study which would bring about
unwarranted and debasing criticism. When any such or- 1
ganization has legislative, executive and judicial power
over so many subjects, they should be among the first to
prevent a dictatorial getup.

THE HUSTLER, a 20th
Century-Fox release of a
Robert Rossen production
starring Paul Newman,
Piper Laurie, George
C. Scott, Myron McCor
mick, and Jackie Gleason
as "Minnesota Fats". .
"The Hustler, which
will have completed its
scheduled one-week run in
Lincoln by the time this
is read, is a major Amer
ican film and a new per
sonal favorite. If you
missed it, you missed a
great film.
Chief protagonist is Ed
die Felson, a pool 'hustler
with a compulsion to be
the best by beating Chica
go's bigtime player, Min
nesota Fats. It is against
a background of cheap
pool halls and otherwise
dingy surroundings that
-"The Hustler" reaches
heights in dramatic screen
realism, surpassing many
recent foreign films.
Paul Newman is superb
as Eddie Felson. Jackie
Gleason scores strongly as
Minnesota Fats, a drama
tic, though brief, role.
Piper Laurie, long a per
sonal favorite, establishes
herself solidly as one of
our best young dramatic
actresses as the lame al
coholic Newman lives
with. Long under contract
to Universal-International
who gave her that 'cute'
name, Piper has only had
one previous film in which
to show her true dramatic
talents in "Until They
Sail." However, it was not
a major film success.
Now, because of outstand
ing television roles such
as the alcoholic wife in
Playhouse 90's "Days of
Wine and Roses" that
garnered her two Emmy
nominations, and because
of stage appearances, she
returns to films prepared
for a new career as a big
dramatic talent.
.George C. Scott, as a
gambler who promotes
Newman and teaches him
how to 'be a winner,1 is
excellent, as is Myron
McCormick, as Newman's
friend and early manager.
Robert Rossen has di
rected a realistic master
piece, developing h i s
theme in a pattern of
harsh grimness. The en
tire production allows for
impressive performances,
making "The Hustler" a
true American 'art film.-"
THE YOUNG DOC
TORS, a . United Artists
release of a Stuart Millar-Lawrence
T u r m a n
Drexel Production star
ring Fredric March, Ben
Gazzara, Dick Clark, Ina
Balin and Eddie Albert.
Both "The Young Doc
tors" and "The Hustler"
were shot mainly in New
York City's Gold Medal
Studios. However, "The
'Young Doctors" does not
begin to match "The Hust
ler" in dramatic impact.
"The Young Doctors" is
extremely melodramatic
and wooden, two of its re
curring dramatic failings.

medical profession has a'
three-fold plot. First, an
idealistic clash between
two pathologists, old, an
tiquated Fredric March
and young, aggressive Ben
Gazzara. Second, student
nurse Ina Balin's fight
with malignant cancer and
necessary amputa
tion. And, third, the prob
lem of the Rh blood fac
tor in the birth of the
child of a young intern
(Dick Clark) and his wife
(Phyllis Love). Also
thrown in, for the 'True
Confession' fans, is ro
mantic involvement be
tween Gazzara and Miss
Balin.
The greatest asset of the
film is Fredric March,
portraying the old doctor
in such a polished per
formance that one is
hardly aware he is acting.
March is undoubtedly one
of the finest contempor
ary screen actors. Also
plus assets are veterans
Eddie Albert and Aline
MacMahon as fellow doctors.

aronic winged voiexgs
have fluttered about us
with logic attached to
their moist fricatives,
would like at this time to
rest only briefly from the

unprecedented views of
obviously dubvious merit
concerning R.O.T.C.
R.O.T.C. is an abbrevi
ation for a single Lithu
anian word, "rote,"
meaning "to conquer."
With this in mind, may
we say that a blind pig
gets an acorn every once
in a while.
By the last epitaph, we
mean that contrary to
popular or otherwise ) oe-
lief, R O.T.C. is a calcu
ijat(d attempt to contem
plate aesthetic 'values.
Why did Schubert not
finish his symphony?
We who give our loved
leet to fall on i!he mercy
of unloved gravel that
our country might remain

"choice," we are that
breed who have replaced
the Hula Hoop with rebel
lion. So let it be written...
