TWIN TOWERS
New Greek Challenge
Today's phrase of the
day: "Post hoc, ergo prop
ter hoc."
This is a Latin phrase
which means "After this, ,
b e c a use -
of this"
and is.
used in
cause
and effect
s i t u a
tions. As
an exam
ple of its
use let's
think of
the effect
of the new Twin Tower
dorms in causing a fur
ther threat to the Greek
system on this campus.
Sometime during the
month of March, the Uni
versity will let the con
tracts for construction of
the $4 million dormitory
facilities. Current project
plans Include two 13-sVry
residence halls with a
basement and a two-story
food service building,
with capacity for 960 stu
dents. In the light of this tre
mendous expansion of
University housing, let's
review the Greek situa
tion. The "life blood" of
the Greeks are its
pledges and the source
for this "blood" is the
students who participate
in Rush Week. This
source is slowly drying
up. Each fall the number
who go through rush ap
pears to get smaller. It
isn't a great drop from

There Is No Limit
There is no limit to
friendship, love or hat
red. You can spend years
cultivating friendship, a
hundred weekends falling
in love, but you can sow
seeds of hatred in a mat
ter of moments.
Have you ever tried to
realize or analyze that "I
love you" is loaded with
meaning? You may have
. already used it without
knowing its full signifi
cance on your first date.
It seems that when- it
cornea to love, human be
ings are the same the
world over. Customs may
differ from country to
country, from one tribe to
another, but we all know
bow to love! I am not
talking about the mechan
ics of loving but love
itself. You may call it a
universal truth.
It wQI be oor par
pose, through this col
umn, to uncover some
similarities as well as
dissimarities among
friends from all v e r
the world. Maybe we
shall anderstand each '
ether better that way.
To do this job, I shall
seed the kelp and co
operation of every one
of yon.
There are as many
countries represented on
our campus as there are
states in the Union. Stu
dents from 46 for
eign countries today num
ber 235. Some of you
(American students) al
ready know them, have
friends in them, and
some of you may even be
working with them in or
ganizations like the Ne
braska International As
sociation, People-to-Peo-ple
program, or YW-Inter-national
Luncheon group.

it you have not heard
of one or any of these or
ganizations but are inter
ested in one or more of
them, I suggest that you
investigate or ask some
body who knows. '

Consequently, there are
some fraternity and so
rority houses on campus
that are something less
than full, while Univer
sity housing at present is
bulging. This is a drastic
situation and every Greek
should become aware of
some of the effects that
the expansion in dorm
room will cause:
The available space
for non-Greeks will in
crease. This new Twin
Tower will offer- Univer
sity students housing that
is new, efficient and at
a relatively lower cost
than Greek housing an
attractive inducement for
incoming University stu
dents. r
The main threat to
the fraternities is the dis
tinct possibility that the
Administration will re
quire fraternity pledges
to live in the new dorms
like sorority "pledges do
now. It is not hard to see
the reasoning for this
move. Twin Towers will
have room for 960 stu
dents. The University will
not have that large of an
influx of students next
fall to fill both towers
If the University does
not fin both towers they
will lose money this our
boys of the grey walls
are not about to let hap
pen. So, why not fill them
They are intended to
serve your different
purposes. However,
they complement each
other in their service to
oar student body. They
do not compete with
any other organization
on campus.
Here a logical question
would be: Why should I
be interested in asking
you to do so?
Before you take me
wrong, I am merely in
forming you of the exist
ence of such organiza
tions on c a m p u s. I am
not using any commer
cials or doing the hard
sell here. I am, however,
convinced that many of
you do not even know of
their existence, leaving
aside their objectives or
.goals.
ct
None of them, to the
best of my knowledge, is
connected with Un-American
activities or expound
ing the doctrine of "Ugly
Americanism." These or
ganizations have, howev
er, one thing in common.
They are all interested in
creating mutual under
standing among foreign
and American students,
among foreign students
themselves, as well as
among American stu-
dents. '
How many of ui are
making the best use of
- oar time on campus
(yon may be an excep
tion!)? What kind of a
daily calendar do we
follow? What are we
trying - to achieve be
sides earning our de
grees or getting mar
ried? What kind of a
world do we live in to
day? Where do we fit
in? How can we do bet

a sermon. It is my con
viction that self-analysis

up by requiring fraternity
pledges to live in the
dorms? Meanwhile, the
houses and budgets built
for a full complement of
pledges and actives will
suffer with half the as
sets and revenue.
(Besides, there is a ru
mor around campus that
certain elements in the
Administration would just
as soon turn all Greek
housing into University
dorm housing. This is
evident by the more reg
ulatory and disciplinary .
action that the Greeks
face. If a single member
of a Greek organization
violates a rule or rules,
the whole house and sys
tem is forced to suffer,
while the individual inde
pendent suffers alone for
his own violations.)
Our saying, "Post hoc, er
go propter hoc," can cer
tainly be applied to these
threats as well as some
others that are of less im
portance but add to the
total threat to the already
weakened Greek body on
campus.
The Interfrater nity
Council and individual
houses and members are
starting to become aware
of the system's shortcom
ings and dangers facing
it. Many precautions and
steps have already been
taken, but you as a Greek
need to realize the addi
tional burden that the
new housing could place
upon the entire system.

by jagjit feingh
dents, both foreign and
American on our campus,
who are so well , organ
ized in their lives that I
personally, am envious of
them. You may be one of
them.
We are living in a fast
moving world. It takes
as much time for a man
to fly across the Atlantic
Ocean as it does to cross
the English Channel in a
boat. Distance is no long
er an impediment in our
age.
Only if we were to
realize these facts of
life we would know how
far behind we were in
this world. Yesterday's
transportation would be
considered ancient with
tomorrow so close at
hand.
Some of you have
not had contacts with
each other (American
and foreign students). It
is my humble request
that you give it a trial.
You don't have to buy
what I am saying by par
ticipating in this "test
marketing of friendship
program." Quit it if you
don't like it. But give it
an honest trial.
What are we trying
to arrive at? Why Is it
necessary for both for
eign students and
American students to
get together, to know
each other better, to
contribute to each oth
er's knowledge, and to
help each other in sev
eral ways? Perhaps you
should think about it
yourself.
It makes no difference
whether you are an
American or a foreign
student. Realize that
there is no limit to what
you can do. You have the
potential in you. What
you really need is to un
cover the interest in you.
Make use of the opportun
ity now.
