We, however, are strong in the tradition that the weaker sex is really weaker, and, conversely, the stronger sex really stronger.

COOPER SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930 FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS. The Daily is convinced that the fraternities on the Michigan cam- pus will incur a serious financial loss if the Senate committee's plan of deferred rushing goes into ef- .ect. This conviction has not been reached by rationalizing a preju- dice against the proposed rushing plan, but by an examination of the finances of several fraternity houses. A fraternity is a delicately bal- anced economic machine. Certain operating expenses, that are defi- nitely fixed, have to be met each year, and the income is carefully budgeted to meet these expenses. Practically every house on the campus islivin from hand to mouth. just breaking even at the end of the year. Many of them have capi- tal tied up in mortgages on their real estate and liens on their fur- niture which will be sacrificed if they cannot meet payments, and practically none of them have liquid which they can convert to meet financial emergency. They are now asked to find among the independents on the campus enough men to take the place of a freshman class next year. This is necessary if their eco- xiomic balance is not to be upset. In the search for these men 'they must eliminate those who cannot afford to join a fraternity, and al- so those who do not want to join a fraternity. It is a task which no fraternity can undertake with any degree of optimism. If there are enough men available, they are not all of a character which the fra- ternities would wish to affiliate, and it seems grossly unfair to make a fraternity's continued existence depend on the lowering of its stan- dards of membership. After all, the maintenance of its standards of membership is the very stuff and essence of a fraternity's existence. It should be pointed out, also, that with every fraternity in the and telling her not to,use it. 'whether the theatre you go to is 0- I REPORT. on Broadway or on Ingalls Street. NOT SO CIVILIZED.
