Fraternity-Facult-

several of the soc ial fraternities on
ihe campus selected mem!ers of the I'niversity
faculty or ersonnel lo conduct a discussion
series in the chapter houses one evening each
week. The idea met with considerable appro- al ol the memlers as they welcomed the oijixir- i unity to discuss and have discussed their own
pioblems, ideas and opinions. This movement
veins to le a forward step in the development
of i he understanding and reasoning powers of
i he stude nt.
In suc h a gathering, as in no other
place, students can mention freely anything that
they desire, and il can le oiallv evaluated for
the consumption of all.
A number of the I'niversity organizations
have slated their intention of continuing these
assemblies and it would Im? highly desirable if
all the groups on the campus would follow their
example by esiablishing such progressive discussion centers in their resX'ctive houses.

It has been brought to our attention that a group of I'niversity of Kentucky students attempted to rush a downtown theatre
last Friday night following the pep rally. We understand that a
similar group had been successful in an attempt to rush the same
theatre two weeks ago. Such incidents, until the present time, have
been rare in light of the respect naturally accorded downtown
merchants' organizations for the support they have given to all
ITniversity functions.
Their support has been invaluable in the
past and will prove even more valuable In the future. However,
if there should be a recurrence of Incidents such as those which
have happened within the past two weeks it would be extremely
difficult to obtain the cooperation from the theatre and business
crganizations of Lexington. We are sure that the students who
participated in the affair of Friday night were either freshmen or
students from other institutions who were not familiar with the
customs and traditions of the Tniversity of Kentucky.
