THEMICHIGANDAILY SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1962 FUTURE IMPORTANCE: SRC Studies Attitudes On Fraternities Flagpole Torn Down By ANDREW ORLIN The Survey Research Center has dust completed a poll on "Under- graduate Attitudes Toward Fra- ternities." Of the 1,000 forms sent to male undergraduate students, members and non-members of fraternities, 830 returned the completed ques- tionnaires. These ,students an- swered questions ranging from the future importance of fraternities in twenty years to the degree of academic emphasis of these or- ganizations. The answers of the fraternity men werecompared with the an- swers of the male students not in such organizations. There was also a break-up into class in each of these two groups. Fraternity Decline As students progressed from .their freshman to their senior years, there seemed to be a grow- ing feeling that fraternities would become less important in the next twenty years. Prof. Angus Campbell, Director of the Survey Research Center, noted that this is partially due to the fact that the "University is moving faster than the fraterni- ties are. Fraternities were estab- lished during a day of fun and games, but today the University is moving away from this," he added. This definitely does not mean that fraternities are suppressing the academic atmosphere of the campus. However, it may mean that these organizations aren't placing stress on them. In all the questions concerning the academic side of the frater- nity, many of the senior members expressed a dissatisfaction with the academic advantages of the organization. Although the num- ber of affiliates who held this opinion was usually in the minor- ity, the group consistently grew larger as these students advanced from freshmen to seniors. Louis Rice, Assistant to the Dean of Men for Fraternity Af- fairs, said, "the men who should be impressed, the upper-classmen, aren't." He went on to say, "If fraterni- ties are not convincing the gradu- ating students of their value, then in my opinion, there is something wrong." Not all the results were favor- able, but as Prof. Campbell noted, "IFC had consideragle courage in exposing themselves to criticism when they asked the Survey Re- search Center to conduct the poll, knowing beforehand that the re- sults would become public." Positive Side Many of the questions showed the positive side of the fraterni- ties. In answer to a general ques- tion concerning the overall bene- fit of fraternities to campus life, an overwhelming majority of the affiliates responded in the affir- mative while a substantial plur- ality of the non-members agreed. In addition, the survey ascer- tained that the affiliates are more active in the extra curricular ac-j College Roundup IOWA CITY - The Committee on the basis of their merits as in- on Student Life voted last Tues- dividuals without restrictions' as day to require all State Univer- to race, color or national origin." sity of Iowa student organizations * * * to file a copy of their constitu- ' POUGHKEEPSIE - Sarah Gib- tions, bylaws and any other docu- son Blanding, president of Vas- ments pertaining to membership sar College, recently told her stu- regulations with the Office of Stu- dents that women who engage in dent Affairs by Oct. 1, 1965, or lose premarital sex relations or exces- official University recognition. sive drinking should leave college.

Percentage wise, almost twice as many fraternity men participate in varsity athletics as compared with non-fraternity men. However, because of the relatively small number of men in fraternities, there are numerically more inde- pendents participating on varsity teams than affiliates. Social Skills There was a general concensus among both groups that fraterni- ties taught their members social skillstandconfidence. Members of fraternities were more socially minded than non-members. Prof. Campbell expected a high- er amount of dating among fra- ternity men, however, he was slightly surprised at the numerical results. A third of the non-mem- bers report dating less than once a month, while less than 10 per cent of the affiliates date this in- frequently. Over half of the fra- ternity members say they date at least once a week, a proportion over twice as large as that of the independents. According to the survey, 98 per cent of the fraternity men and 89 per cent of the independents agreed that the fraternities should have the right to restrict member-1 ship to persons of their own choice. Concerning racialrestric- tions, 57 per cent of the affiliates and 44 per cent of the independ- ents were in favor of leaving thisI question up to the individual fra-1 ternities. Prof. Campbell saw in the re- sults of this question a belief by many students that social organi- zations should have the sole right' to select their own members. Descriptive Adjectives One question asked the sampling whether they would apply certain descriptive adjectives to fraternity men, to non-fraternity men, or to neither. Both groups felt that the word "well-dressed" applied to fraternity men. Sixty per cent of the affiliates' and 40 per cent of the independ- ents agreed that the word "indi- vidualistic" was indicative of non-' fraternity men. Such words as "af- fected," "narrow-minded," and "immature" were not felt to ap- ply particularly to either group.1 DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of The Univer- sity of Michigan for which The Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsibility.

ANN ARBOR QUARTERS: Society To Move to City Author Asks U.S. To Push Peace Race By ROBERT SELWA America has failed miserably in Laos because she has not promot- ed a peace race, Prof. Seymour Melman of Columbia University said. Speaking at the third Voice Po- litical Party Symposium on the Arms Race, Prof. Melman, author of "The Peace Race," described his plan for a peace initiative as consisting of four elements. The first element is coopera- tion, particularly in the arts and sciences, but above all in disarma- ment. "We should ask what problems will arise that President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev want to cooperate on in seeking a solution," Prof. Mel- man said. The second point is competition. "The peace race would be a con- test involving the expenditure of creative effort in a gainful way," he commented. The third and fourth elements are the right of independent or- ganization, a right trade unions have enjoyed in America, and per- sonal and political freedom of the individual. Prof. Melman envisioned a world industrialized by the United States and the Soviet Union, a world in which the United States and the Soviet Union would abandon mili- tary expenditures to concentrate all their efforts in economic devel- opment. "With our unlimited material wealth, the United States cannot lose a contest with the Soviet Union in economic production," he continued. "The Soviet economy is stretch- ed thin," he said. Military strength has now be- come unusable-it is a "pseudo strength," Prof. Melman contin- ued. America's real strength is in being a center of industrial capi- tal, in possessing an indefinitely large confidence, in having tre- mendous potential. A peace race policy, he 'said, would give the United States a new moral lease on life. Full em- ployment would finally come about and women, for example, would not have to panhandle a few blocks away from Columbia Uni- versity. Thesauri Veiteris FELIX A.

The Council also approved ap- pointments to the Committee on Membership in Student Organiza- tions. Appointed are William Go- mez, '62E, and Richard Young, '63, for terms until the end of June, 1963, and Elizabeth Snow, '64, for a term until the end of December, 1962. Ten people petitioned in all. The criteria for appointments were factual information on the history of the Committee and its relation- ship to SGC, a minimal back- ground in fraternity and sorority systems and an ability to place the Committee in coherent relative context to the University, a Coun- cil resolution said. The Council also passed a mo- tion to renew student health in- surance from the Detroit nIsur- ance Agency. The Detroit Agency has submitted a plan which Coun- cil has accepted which would re- duce the student rate to $20.00, the student-spouse rate to $55.00, and the student-spouse-family rate to $72.00. The maternity rate would remain the same. Roberts Talks On Integration "We are shirking our responsibil- ity as citizens if we do not concern ourselves with the problems of in- tegration," John M. Roberts, vice- chairman of Voice Political Party, said to those assembled at a forum held by that group on Thursday. The talk was part of a celebra- tion of the eighth anniversary of the Supreme Court's Brown vs. Board of Education school deseg- regation case. "Many Negroes face violence and economic sanctions when they try to claim their equal rights," Rob- erts said. He pointed out that the integration movement is as strong as it was iz the past. Groups like the Student Non- Violent Coordinating Committee and Congress on Racial Equality are still carrying4on worthwhile programs, he contended. ciety secretary said that one prime reason for the move was the gen- eral image of science and qual- ity which is associated with the city and the University. Science Libraries "Substantial scientific libraries, efficient printing companies, good communications, the attractive residential area and the cultural assets of the community also fig- ured prominently in the decision," he added. The society works to promote scientific research by publishing five journals and various books. It also plans, administers and or- ganizes projects for the advance- ment of knowledge in the field. Prof. Gerhardt pointed out that there will be employment oppor- tunities with the society in the areas of editorial, clerical, steno- graphic and bookkeeping person- nel. Society's Books The books published by the so- ciety have world-wide distribution and serve as the' representative of the United States in the micro- biology field, he said. Prof. Gerhardt said that the so- ciety is publishing more works and has utilized the facilities of a lo- cal printing concern in the past. The society hopes to increase its membership to some 8,500 mem- bers within the next five years, Prof. Gerhardt explained. The society's executive secre- tary is R. W. Sarber, who along with Robert A. Day.managing edi- tor, will be relocated to the new lo- cal headquarters in the Huron View building, which is being com- pletely remodeled for the society.
