Social Orgs
To comment upon the general uselessness of college
fraternities and sororities has become the pastime of
man a cynic and general taker-downer, so that one feels
at a loss as to just what to say upon the subject No doubt
these organizations, purely social in nature, deserve a
great deal of criticism at times, and it may be that sometimes they are guilty of acts and procedures that should
not be tolerated.
But it goes against one's conscience to read continually of the faults of these organizations and "forget"!
some of their virtues, few that these may be. Here at
our own college we can aptly illustrate what can be
done, and is done for the college by a fraternity. On
campus we have a number of these men's organizations. I
Every once in a while we hear of one of these groups
sponsoring a dance, dinner or some other social activity.
For these we have no comment. But also when we investigate some of the most worth-while activities in the
colleges we find that members of a fraternity have the |
leading roles.
To consider one of these groups, the Zeta Mus, we
find that the student body president-elect is a member
of that organization, the present sports editor of The
Collegian is a member, the debate manager is a member,
many of the committeemen who are engaged in most
■worth-while pursuits all the time, are members, and
general the group is extremely active, working for the
benefit of their Alma Mater. There are other groups also
•doing much good, sororities as well as fraternities, so
that one feels inclined to think of the popular expression "Aw nuts" when he reads in some blue-nosed magazine about the condition in our colleges because of the
toleration of social organizations. R. G.
World Peace
* It is exceedingly gratifying to know that students of I
American universities are beginning to express their
opinions on such vital questions as war. A demonstration such as was called at many universities throughout
the United States last Friday may not be the best means
of expressing dissatisfaction of existing policies and
present conditions, but it is an evidence of thought
regarding the welfare of the present and future generations.
As'expressed by Francis Lederer in a speech before
the Sunday evening forum in the college auditorium,
"We are living in an age which is advanced beyond thei
level of the necessity of war as a means for settling
international differences." As has been expressed by
leaders of great nations of the world- it is not the people
of a nation that makes war, but the government of that
nation. If the above statement contains only, a shade
of the cause of war, then, obviously in the hands of I
the people lies the responsibility of voicing their opposition and disapproval of war as a means of settling
disputes.
It is encouraging that people and especially students
are beginning to face the facts of present world condi-J
tion. We must, however, guard against thinking of the
word "war" from the practical view which has always
been the view taken. We should, instead, think of war
in the abstract sense, therefore suggesting that the idea
itself should be thrown aside for one that furnishes a
security that tivilization will continue to endure.
It is obvious that if we use the present connotation
suggested by the word "war" that we are at once con-
behind the screen
fronted with the problems of disarmament Disarmament conferences as taken from experience do not lead
farany final solution of the problem of war, but instead
make for future and greater disagreements among nations. The word "war," it seems, is the word attributed
to action or conditions .brought about through preparedness and the continued manufacture of implements of
warfare. Therefore, it seems logical that in working for
world peace we should try to abolish the idea war, and
not talk about the preparedness and implements of warfare which in the final analysis is the cause of discord
present in peace conferences.
If the idea of war is forgotten or cast aside everything leading up to the term or idea will naturally
follow. -L.W.K
