Revitalization
fmFraternities .. .
WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS, a
great deal has been said about the
gradual dissolution of fraternity spirit through-
out the country. It has been saidtha the coop-
eration between the fraternity and the school has
become strained and is approaching the breaking
point. The pathetic thing is that what has been
said and what will be said if nothing is done
to correct this dilemma, is based upon sound and
logical reasoning. In reviewing the fraternity
situation in many of our eastern schools, one has
only to study the conditions at Harvard, Dart-
mouth, or Yale. With surprising rapidity the
schools have been clamping down on the frater-
nities so that the houses have been forced to close
either voluntarily or involuntarily, leaving the de-
jeted students with but one alternative, and that
has been to organize clubs, which are in reality
very similar to fraternities as they had existed
for many years previous to this shake-up.'
At Dartmouth, where fraternities have been
suffering from lack of cooperation from the
schobl for many years, there has been a gradual
renaissance of fraternities as valuable, potent
contributing agencies in the social life' of the
college: The ground has been broken in the
building of new attitudes among the undergrad-
V.tes, a new philosophy of the potentialities of
fraternities in their own lives, and there is a
totally new realization of the idea that frater-
nities. can be essential factors in the educational
scheme of the liberal college.
Why this sudden departure from the old schoo
of rugged individualism upon the part of each
fraternity? Three years ago the function of fra-
ternities at Dartmouth was trifling, but now,
through the drive by the undergraduate inter-
fraternity council, a new feeling has arisen be-
tween the school and the fraternities.
There should be no opposition between the
college and the fraternity, if both define clearly
and together what their mutual relations and
functions are. Yet, here at the University of
Michigan, there has been an undercurrent of an-
tagonizing talk about how absolutely the fra-
terity and the college are fighting one another,
with neither giving ground to the other. Pos-
sibly the situation is not as critical as it has been
at Dartmouth College, but certainly when state-
ments have been made to the effect that the
only service a fraternity performs here at Mich-
igan is that of stabilizing the deplorable housing
conditions, something should be done.
The problem of revitalizing fraternity life at

Michigan seems to resolve itself into two basic
issues: (a) the relations between the fraternities
and the University; and (b) undergraduate re-
sponsibility and activities. These principles are
similar to those dealt with at Dartmouth, and
should necessarily be the same here, if we are
to deal with this problem successfully.
Let us first consider the problem of fraternity
relations with the University. The initial task,
we believe, is first of all, to attack vigorously
and realistically a present condition and not
waste time trying to solve any hypothetical ques-
tions of what might be if things were different.
There is no necessity to explain away the ap-
parent failure of fraternities, but to strive for
better function within them. If the fraternities
really become a vital force in undergraduate life
in school, the University will be the first to ask
how they may be strengthened even more, and
to inquire whether there is any easily removable
obstacle to their becoming even more vital.
Obviously it is the University's business to de-

UNDER
THE CLOC
with DISRAELI
NOOSE FLASH TO 'RAA' REID
(Who is Chairman of J-Hop Committee)
ON FEBUARY 7, 1938, Wayne King will play for
the University of Illinois Interfraternity Ball
and on February 12, 1938 a fellow named Kemp,
Hal will lambast a little swing in Champaign for
the benefit of the Student-Alumni Registration
Dance.
Have you got the Winona Beach Wallopers
signed up yet, Raabie? Hurry, or Ann Arbor High
will beat you to it.
WE HAVE evolved a solution. It isn't quite an
ethical solution because it flaunts the tenets
of all generations and flings to the wind the hide-
bound traditions of mankind. That's how big this
idea of ours is, And it's about war. We got it
settled.
The other night a travelling bull session whirled
into the Daily office and since it was early, the
talk had advanced only past politics and not as,
far as women. So the intermediate topic wa's
war. Someone suggested the process of selecting
a champion who would be well-conditioned con-
tinually by trainers so that when a little boundary
difficulty arose between nations, we just send the
champion out to meet the champion of the
other nation. If our champion won-at boxing,
scratch-as-scratch-can, biting or other of the
less messy forms of fighting-then we would
raise the coach's salary and greet the champion
as he came home from the fields with whoops
of glory and yells of admiring delight. If he lost,
we'd just fire the coach and the champion just
wouldn't come home, that's all.
But that wasn't quite satisfactory. First, be-
cause there wouldn't be enough chance for the
people who thrill to the bugle's blare to get out
and get their lick in. Everyone couldn't be a
champion and there'd be too many millions who
would still want to get out there with their toma-
hawk and-special eye gouging thumb attach-
ments.
THEN the second big consideration comes up
in the necessity of keeping the population
down to a sensible and controllable proportion.
If one man is going to do all the warring around,
the world will be cluttered up with people who
as you know make so darn much trouble. You
got to watch them carefully and just having a
champion would only knock them off one at a
time.
So, we, knowing that in certain parts of the
country's farming areas the soil is reaching
the exhaustion stage and stands in sad need of
fertilizer, suggested our plan.
Why don't we just set aside one of these poorer
sections for periodic wars of our own? First, of
course, we could train little armies of men and
every six or seven year period fill them full of
hops especially grown in the poppy fields of
France and the Standard Oil Co.'s backyard
(Yangtze branch). When sufficiently full of hops
off go these happy fellows with the battle hymn
of democracy on their lips. They choose up sides
and with a special consignment of stuff just of'
the production line at DuPont's they go splatter-
splatter all over the landscape until there is just
enough left to make up a medium-sized American
Legion Post. They throw the mess into the shell
holes and pile the dirt in and soon the land is
rich and productive again.
But thinking it over, we considered the higher
grade of bona fide manufactured fertilizers, espe-
cially treated with all the chemical processes. So,
as an improvement onthe original plan, we sug-
gest that the national government just subsidize
some bigmunitions plant-they won't need them
if they use our plan-and turn it into a huge fer-
tilizer producer. The change wouldn't be so
great and then we could just march companies
of men right up to the factory and on into the
vats and machines without even bothering to
shoot them. Thus we save on guns and shells.
And to keep up with the times anyway, we could
select from each crop enough to make up a Lib-
erty League post and their job would be to pose

kicking squads after each consignment gets the
works.

Syincopa ion
By TOM McCANN
Certainly it would be pretty silly to say any-
thing more about Erskine Hawkins and Stepin
Fetchit; enough has been done in that direction
already. Although those little rascals may think
they've made the IFC blush, the fun will really
begin when the musician's union takes action for
that flagrant violation-breaking an engage-
ment on such short notice.
If Bernie Cummins fails to appear we're going
to begin believing that someone has put the ir-
removable sign of the Green River Curse on the
IFC.
We're beginning to wonder these days just
exactly how much of the applause we hear over
the air today is genuine.
The other night at the conclusion of one of
the Adrian Rollini trio numbers from the Essex
House in New York, the audience went "complete-

Jjfeemr Iloo Me
H-eywood Broun
I get blamed for everything. Before going to
the Hague rally in Jersey City I decided that it
might be a good idea to take a friend along in
case there was any trouble about the visas on
our passports.
Crossing the border into Hitlerberg was less
difficult than I had anticipated, because the mon-
ster turnout promised by the
Mayor's press agents did not
materialize. I think it would
be quite safe to take two
gzrains of salt before ac-
cepting the statement of the
New York Sun that 75,000
people crowded into the ar-
mory to listen to Jersey's
little Caesar. The hall was
filled, but fifteen thousand
would be a fair estimate as to'its capacity, and
there were perhaps a couple of thousand people
milling around outside watching the roman
candles and the rockets which were being set
off in front of the hospital. Anything over 18,-
000 you could stick in your right eye.
As for enthusiasm, one man's tumult is an-
other's tepid applause. I have seen many more-
vociferous cheering sections. Johnny Gavegan,
the Surrogate, acted as demonstration director,
but at times the assembled cohorts were a little
slow in picking up their cues.
Excuse It, Please
Dorothy Parker, for reasons unknown to me,
was seated in the front row of the American Le-
gion delegation just behind the press section.
She told me that the legionnaire to her left was
very affable and that they carried out quite a
pleasant conversation about the climate of Cali-
fornia. "The only difficulty," Mrs. Parker re-
ported, "was that whenever Mayor Hague paused
my friend would say, 'Please pardon me,' cup his
hands, shout 'Hooray!' and then resume at the
point where he had been interrupted."
They passed out the Mayor's remarks only a
few minutes before he came on, and my friend
and fellow traveler found a passage on the fourth
page which annoyed him.
"When the big stuffed shirt gets to this," he
2onfided, "I'm going to boo."
I looked at him severely and said, "If you've
any booing to do pleasetake it away from me
and go over' to the other side of the hall. I'm
here as a working newspaper man, and never
let it be said that partisanship has reared its ugly
head and ruffled my complete neutrality."
My friend went away, but presently he was
back again, and right in the middle of a Hague
periodic sentence he cut through the orator's
cadence with "Nuts!" in clear and carrying tones.
Lese Majestie In Jersey City
Never in my experience has a single word
created such a sensation. The mood of Hague's
henchmen was not so much anger as one of hor-
ror. Everybody waited, fully expecting that
lightning would come through the ceiling and
strike the offender dead or that she bears would
amble down the aisle and eat him up.
Apparently it was the first time in all Hague's
life that anybody had ever said anything to him
but "Yes."
"Who interrupted?" roared Fran Hague, but
after waiting a moment for somebody to bring
him the miscreant's head on a platter he went
on with his oration. But something was missing.
At least three cylinders. In his confusion the
boss referred to Roger Baldwin as "a slack
dodger," and some of his sentences neither
scanned nor made any particular sense.
I was very sorry, but I was also indignant, be-
cause I was the fellow the nearest cop selected to
tap on the shoulder and warn, 'None of that.
now." The next time I go to Jersey City, I will
pick a strong, silent man as my bodyguard.
