Another 'Accident'
Once again the college fraternity has been smitten by bad
publicity arising from a unique and rare incident
A hazing mishap in which a fraternity pledge was rushed
to a hospital gasping for breath led to suspension last week
of the University of Southern California chapter of Zeta
Beta Tau Fraternity.
A 19-year-old pledge, Harold Davidson, was taken by
ambulance to the hospital when he began gasping for breath
during an initiation stunt involving passing raw eggs by
mouth from pledge to pledge.

The  draft   (the   armed   forces
By Jim Church
Collegian Editor "
One of the great men of Jour-1 kind)   is blowing pretty strongly
nallsui once made a remark that  around Fresno State. Deferments
Sigma pledge choked to death on a piece of raw liver while-
performing an initiation stunt.
Will this event hinder the rush efforts of Fresno State
fraternities ?
Any college fraternity will be effected by anything that
lends to the stereotype of fraternities as composed of "wild,
unpredictable, reckless ruffians.
It should be pointed out that hazing is prohibited at Fresno
State, and avid as the fraternity system is, nothing of this
sort has happened here.
Plight Df A Teacher
A welding instructor at Fullerton Junior College has been
dismissed because he refused to identify past political as¬
sociates.
So Wendell Phillips is pleading his case in the courts and
to thousands of college and community newspapers. He is
spending much money and expending much effort "to pre¬
serve freedom and to demonstrate that these attempts to
impose thought control in our schools are unconstitutional."
According to Phillips, "the charge not only goer far beyond
the scope of the DUworth Act but introduces the novel idea
that in order to conduct himself professionally a teacher
must become a stool pigeon."
"I am charged with unprofessional conduct," says Phillips,
"because it is alleged that I belonged to the Communist Party
in 1957 and that I knew the Communist Party advocated the
overthrow of the government -by force and violence. Both
these charges are patently false as the transcript of my
December hearing before the Board of Trustees clearly shows.
At that time I stated under oath that I had not been a mem¬
ber of the Communist Party since 1951 and Have been a
member of the Socialist Workers Party since 1957."
Though tragic as it may be, by publicizing his predicament
Phillips will only result in making the Board more firm in
its decision and hindering his opportunities for employment
in another institution.
Once he is accused, he will always be doubted.
Education Devalued
The bachelor of arts degree has been devalued to the worth
of only a job ticket, even as a ticket to a job such as a door
to door salesman.
This is the opinion of an eminent Irish author after teach*
ing in America for two years. And. we're inclined to agree
with him. ^*
Even in school we work too much and study too little. The
emphasis is on production more than it is on knowledge.
Sean OTaolain is of the opinion that the "fetish for a col¬
lege education in America has gotten out of hand." O'FaoIain
taught classical English at Princeton University and then
toured 10 weeks, lecturing in 16 schools,
"A love of learning, an appreciation of atmosphere, are
two things missing from the educational system. Books are
chosen, recommended, read and learned by heart
"The cardinal virtue in America is "Thou shalt work" and
that is wrong. They work too hard and too long and miss the
pleasure that knowledge can give."

Survey Shows
Drinking No Problem
College students are not prime,
contenders for Alcoholics Anony¬
mous. This Is tho finding of Cam¬
pus Illustrated In Its survey and
report on student drinking. CI
states that campus drinking Is no
more widespread, no more fre¬
quent or excessive, than drinking
elsewhere. In fact, CI reports that
college students, .drink no more
than their non-college contempor¬
aries and drink less than their
predecessors.
The CI survey reveals that most
collegians — 80% of the men and
65% of the women — started
drinking be'ore they entered col¬
lege. Furthermore, the survey
shows that collegians' altitudes
and customs In regard to drinking
were well determined before they
came lo college by the practice,
attitudes and customs or their
families, their social groups and
their communities.
A surprising fact uncovered by
tbe survey Is that less drinking
lakes place In co-educatlonal
schools than at colleges restricted
to one sex only. Statistics show
that the big drinking Bchools are
the private men's colleges. 92%
