FRATERNITIES AiD
SVW~HNG' FOOLS
One of the most frequently damned
institutions of university life in this
country is the fraternity. It is usuallyl
lioked upon as an organization which
fosters the worst elements in te Stu-
(lent life: poor scholarship, drinking,
immorality, and superfluous political
organization. This of course is only
the popular conception, an exagger-
ated view of those who have had little
or no contact with a modern educa-
tional institution such as Michigan.j
As a matter of fact fraternity proves
to be one of the few unifying forces
in our huge uni'ersities. As a proof
that this is, true one needs oly to
examine the records of every wort -
while project: the scholastic a'or-
age of fraternity members as a gr eil
is better than that of the rest of the
University; in every campaign, phil-'
anthropic or otherwise, the leaders
expect the fraternities to take the
more active part, and they always do.
The latest evidence of this is the
swimming pool drive which is now in
progress. If it succeeds, and it isI
practically sure to, it will be because
the group organization of the fratern-
ities 'has taken the proposition over.
Every other means has been tried in
ti.;;a:t ~e; Years with practically no
success-now those interested have;
-Ito the organized groups, as
M,7 91; l;;ys do.
2 11 tes uj not intended as a eom-
arisen of the reative merits of the
frterrity men and the independents
as individlals~ or as classes. They are
equial in all essential respects. Such
mattcri as the _swimming pool drive
only signify the necessity for such'
unifyingn forces and the fraternities as
suoh lxshouild be ;iven the credit due
themi-a thing seldom admitted by
han business efficiency and exactly
that. A similar governing purpose
mnay be seen in his appo ntmient of
former Ambassador K'ellogg to thef
place left vacant by the resignatio;n
of Secretary of State Hughes.
Other cabinet changes are being
predicted for the very near future
and members of the party are now
fully assured that Pre,=ident Coolidge
means business in every move. In all
of the coming shal:ecup. if such a sit-
oion i livt oarise. it is to be hboped_
that he will continue to consider and
choose the best possible men for the
vacant places. It is furtiler to be
