in agreement with this.
NPC Proposal
"This semester I shall try to
follow through on this proposal
and have it adopted by the NPC,"
Miss McMillan said.
Several speakers viewed vari-
ous problems confronting sorori-
ties and fraternities at the present
time.
"The discussion was theoretical
rather than concerned with defi-
nite problems-and I believe that
since each school has its own spe-
cific problems, this time could
have been better spent," Miss Mc-
Millan said.
Stress Scholarship
"They stressed the scholarship
and the image of the system and
mentioned such problems as
pranks on campus-these problems
do not seriously effect Panhel or
IFC on the University," she added.
"We were looking mainly for
ideas about what other fraternity
systems are doing, and considered
the role of the fraternity within
society," Meyerholz said. He at-
tended discussions concerned with
strengthening individual IFC's and
the affiliate system in' general.

Cook Talks"
On Grecian
City League
By DONNA ROBINSON
"The old legend that the 12
cities of the Pan-Ionic League
were built by the 12 sons of an
Athenian king is probably un-
true," Prof. John F. Cook of Bris-
tol University, said here recently.
Prof. Cook, who headed recent
archaeological e x c a v a t i o n s in
Smyrna, one of the ancient Asia
Minor settlements, s p o k e on
"Smyrna and the Ancient Ionians."
"The league seems to have de-
veloped from a series of earlier
settlements built by migrants from
the Greek mainland as early as
1000 B.C.," Prof. Cook explained.
Settled by Athenians
However, he added that the orig-
inal settlers of Ionia were prob-
ably Athenians, since much of the
pottery uncovered in Smyrna and
many Ionian institutions were
similar to those of Athens.
In building their towns the orig-
inal settlers usually chose a loca-
tion on the coast-preferably on
an isthmus. Such locations af-
forded excellent anchorage for
their boats, a cool climate and a
shorter land-front to protect
against attack. Later the settlers
began to move into the interior of
the continent.
From ruins and artifacts dug up
at Smyrna, Prof. Cook was able
to reconstruct the living conditions
of the later Ionians.
Mud Brick Houses
Ruins and 'tiny models which
date back to the seventh century
B.C. indicate that Ionian houses
were made of mud brick with
thatched roofs and placed on poles.
Each house had a small court-
yard in front where a few animals
were probably kept.
The entire city of Smyrna was
surrounded by a strong, thick wall,
to protect them from the hostile
natives of interior of Asia Minor,
Prof. Cook said.
Space and Luxury
By this time gracious living had
set in in Ionia. Excavators have
dug up spacious, luxurious bath-
tubs, and pottery was decorated
with elaborate designs rather than
the simple geometric patterns
which had been brought over from
Greece.
Some of the' bathtubs which
were uncovered were found upon
close examination to have two
drainage plugs. Perhaps one for
hot and one for cold water, Prof.
Cook quipped.

the lecture but to stimulate dis-
cussion," Prof. Gerhard E. Lenski,
who teaches the course says.
Academic Standpoint
Toward the middle of the semes-
ter the group discusses the con-1
tent material of the course and
considers the various problems
from an academic standpoint. j
In addition Prof. Lenski reviews#
about six paperbooks and the1
major sociology texts. He presents,
the pros and cons of using these,
books. "The more information the
teaching fellows have the better
off they will be when they go to
other schools to teach," he adds.
Along with this program, each
lecturer of the introductory course
in the sociology department meets
with his staff of teaching fellows
to discuss the subject matter com-
ing up in the course and the best
way to present it.
Math Department
The mathematics department
program for teaching fellows con-
sists of a seminar and classroom
visitations, Prof. Phillip S. Jones
says.
The objectives of the course are
"to help the teaching fellows, fre-
quently inexperienced and some-
times lacking in confidence, by
making his present job easier and
by providing training in the work
to which many of his later years
will probably be devoted," he ex-
plains.

Roscoe Wilmeth described Is-
lamic penetration south from
North Africa, and Charles Swan
wrote on urban disorganization in
Calcutta, in paperspresented re-
cently in conjunction with the
Michigan Academy of Science, Arts
and Letters.
The influence of Islam into the
Sudan affected first religious, then
social, and f i n a 11 y economic
change, Wilmeth stated.
Progress was slower in the East,
a barren region where religion
was spread by saints and holy
men. In the West, religious orders
and saints. were relatively unim-
portant, Wilmeth explained.
Swan wrote that the family and
patrilineal organization of famil-
ies in Calcutta is still of consid-
erable strength and importance.
In interviews with Calcutta pris-
oners, he found they had a sense
of family pride and a great knowl-
edge of their fathers' siblings and
relatives. His paper posed the ques-
tion of the relation between in-
adequate housing in the city and
the family structure of the cul-
ture.
seminar discuss such topics as
administrative details of course
scchedules, texts, attendance rules
and grading. They also consider
various suggestions for planning
a class hour and for preparing,
giving and correcting examina-
tions, Prof. Jones notes.
One senior staff member is as-
signed to one or two teaching
fellows as a consultant. He checks
the exams the instructor is going
to give and discusses with him the
observations made upon the class
visits.
