"Go. P.ig P.l ue!" yelled the
crowd when the team boosted
the score another six points.
"Go, Rig Pew!" yelled the crowd
when the Rot tie slipped from
eager hands and fell to the pavement.
Never lcfore, to our knowledge, has there Wen so much
roommate trouble on the campus. It seems as if people who
hate each other were purposely
tossed together. We might as
well get in on the fun and rap- italie on it, too. If anyone
would care for an option on a
tall sirawlerry blonde with pea
green eyes, who is passionately
fond of the Rrooklyn Dodgers
and Terry and the Pirates,
we'll be glad to rent her out.

Right now fraternities are finding themselves
in a precarious position. Their importance on
a college campus goes unnoticed since the minority group only is represented. Naturally they
cannot Ik- called upon to fulfill the various duties
in normal times. Last week results
jh-- i formed
in the naiional War Chest drive revealed that
the eight sororities on the University campus
presented the Student Government Assembly
wiih ti.V',', tif all donations taken in. Had fraternities leen fully represented at that time they
too. mainlv because both function alike in mliny
res?ts, would have made it a point a very
worthwhile
oini to show as much enthusiasm
for sm h a cause.
Arguments are continually piling up against
the fraternity, yet the development of the individual himself has never directly been pointed
out. When a new student, as a freshman, first
comes from his small home town to a university
where he is thrown in with new and many types
of jieople, he finds that he is strange to them.
They are all new to him. What he eventually
finds in fraternities helps to introduce him im- mediately to those who ran do him most good
at this particular lime, and instead of wander- ino-- alxiut for weeks he is thrown in the midst
.
.
,
of a group who will see to it that he is made to
feel a jiart of something. And this same feeling
of lelonging will follow throughout his lifetime
..
so that never will he be in a position where he
can't depend on that group to help him out.
Fraternities will aid, not hinder, any campus.
