By WILLIAM GRODYTwo weeks from today approxi¬mately 175 freshmen will march up toCobb Hall, sign their name on thedotted line, and assume the life of afraternity pledge. They will be fol¬lowing a precedent begun when theUniversity was in its infancy, aprecedent which has continued to thepresent day.Fraternities occupy a unique posi¬tion on this campus. Though theirnumber has declined since the incep¬tion of the New Plan they still offerto the student a clearer perception ofcollege life than any other activityon campus.VV’ith few exceptions, the majorityof student leaders and athletes havecontinually been fraternity men. Atthe same time Phi Beta Kappas andhigh average students have al.so beenmembers of this large group.To the student who does not carefor leadership in activities or partici¬pation in varsity athletics the fra¬ternity again offers him something.In every chapter on every campus inAmerica there is the quiet, fraternitygroup, the one that enjoys their fra¬ternal comradeship, the one that doesnot desire the extra campus activi¬ties.Today, then, the Daily Maroon be¬gins a review of the 17 fraternitiesat this school. Every one will offersomething different to the freshman.While we cannot explain what thatcertain characteristic thing is thatseparates one hou.se from another wecan giye the student an inkling ofwhat he can find in each fraternity.These issues should serve as ahand book on fraternities, to be ofvalue for the rest of the rushingsea.son.Two things the freshman must de¬cide for himself. We cannot tell itto him. What fraternal spirit doeshe want and what kind of personal¬ities will he find in each house?In today’s issue the Daily Maroonwill begin presenting just the barefacts about each group. How manynumbers are in this house? What contacts can one make through afraternity?Many freshmen havereached their decision. Others arestill bewildered but will, when thetime comes, be ready to take a fra¬ternity. The Daily Maroon advisesthis group of freshmen to keep ob¬serving each house before decidingon their favorite. After all, they aregoing to live with a group of fellowsfor four years. They should be surethe decision is theirs and not thatof their friends. The Dekes possess a very activeI Mothers’ club which assists at teaalready I dances and open houses. Contacts areDelta Kappa EpsilonSecond largest house on campus.Delta Kappa Epsilon is also one ofthe leaders in athletics and activities.It completely dominates the threehonorary societies, having the presi¬dent and secretary of Owl and Ser¬pent, the president and two membersof Iron Mask and the president andone member of Skull and Crescent.Other positions held include thesecretary of the I-F Council, publisherof Cap and Gown, president of theChapel Union, one junior Intramuralmanager, and representation in theDramatic Association, Daily Maroon,Student Settlement Board, PuLse, andBlackfriars.As usual, Dekes predominate inathletics. This year members holdthe football, basketball and swimmingcaptaincies, and three positions onthe baseball team, six on football,including the candidate for the Tri¬bune’s most valuable player award,three in basketball, four in swimming,three in tennis, four in water poloand wrestling and five in track.The I-F survey finds this housenext to the bottom in scholarship.Unlike most fraternities, pledgesare not obliged to pay dues. Mem¬bers living in the house pay $48,those living outside $19.50. The initia¬tion fee is $56.Three $100 scholarships are pro¬vided each year to members dis¬playing outstanding achievement inscholai’ship, campus and chapter acti¬vities, the fund being provided byactivities do they participate in? i an alumni group which also owns theWhat will a fraternity cost? What | house. also maintained with the facultythrough student-faculty discussionsand with the parents through a fatherand son banquet.Delta Kappa Epsilon is especiallystrong in the junior and sophomoregroups, having seventeen in eachclass. Together with ten seniors, themen comprise an active group of 45members.Alpha Tau OmegaOne of the smaller houses on cam¬pus is Alpha Tau Omega, numberingonly seven seniors, four juniors, andseven sophomores among its activemembers. However, eight men havebeen pledged since the opening of the.school year.This house is low in activity men,only three members participating incampus groups. Two ai’e on the foot¬ball squad while the third is in theDebate Union. However, every mem¬ber of the active chapter and a ma¬jority of the pledges work for partof their college expenses, and, conse¬quently, can not partake in extra¬curricular affairs to a large extent.The extra time devoted to outsidew'ork may also account for the poorshowing made by the ATO’s in thescholarship survey. Their average of.46 is between a C and D.While house bills are lower thanaverage, no breakfasts are served.Consequently, members living in thehouse who pay $40.50 receive onlylunch and dinner. Actives living out¬side are charged $11. Pledge duestotal $12 per month, initiation fee is$50 and there are no special assess¬ments.The alumni group cooperates withthe chapter by managing the house,and assisting in rushing activities.Like a number of other fraternities,the national organization maintains aprofessional placement service, plac¬ing nearly 400 men a year, 50 in theChicago area.Summing up, here is a fraternitycomposed mostly of boys wqrkingtheir way through school.

As¬sistant Coach Kyle Anderson, whoscouted the Illini-Purdue game Mon¬day, says that the Boilermakers didnot play anything like the game thatbeat the Maroons against Illinois.Furthermore, the disheartening totalpiled up by the Badgers against theMaroons was due in part to a suddenand unexpected attack of defensivejitters, and a week cl drill shouldhave eliminated this v.'eakness.Illinois’ already small squad hasbeen further weakened by the loss ofJay Wardley, its best defensiveguard, who suffered a knee injury ina fall during the Purdue game andis probably through for the season;while Chicago’s hopes have been bol¬stered by the steady return to formof Paul Amundsen, last year’s regularcenter.Probable Line-upChicagoMullinsLounsburyMeyerPetersenEggemeyer IllinoisBoudreauHapacDehnerNisbetLasater.International HouseOpens Film Serieswith Yellow Cruise Marxist Theologian toSpeak at Chapel Sunday Registration ShowsDrop from WinterQuarter Last YearFoster’s Orchestra Playsfor Judson Dinner-DanceGeorge Foster’s ten piece orchestrawill play for the annual Court For-mal Dinner-Dance which will be heldin the Judson Court dining room andlounge from 9 to 2 on Saturday eve¬ning.

Progessive politics.4. Revision of the College Plan.5. A chastened president.The President's SpeechPresident Hutchins spoke with unusual can¬dor Wednesday night at the Trustees’ dinner.Instead of beating on the familiar tom-tom ofthe University’s greatness, he admitted thatstate universities were equalizing private uni¬versities, even the University of Chicago inscholarship, in faculty standards, in “embark¬ing on new projects in education,” in defendingacademic freedom.He proceeded to justify private universitieson the basis that they alone can determinetheir educational policies free from fear or fa¬vor of special interests. Only by strict adher¬ence to educational soundness as the only con¬sideration in determining University policy, hebelieves, can the University justify itself.This is a very fine and noble statement.Unfortunately, no such course is possible in anestablished institution. The wariness withwhich new departures are always greeted bythe public means that educational departuresmust be made by small institutions which havelittle to lose from apathetic or hostile publicreaction. The hard fact of the matter is that .if the University were to reorganize the con- !tent of the courses so fundamentally as to pro- jduce a new intellectual synthesis overnight, |that students would stay away in droves, andthe University income would be diminished bynearly half. Educational soundness unfortu¬nately cannot be the sole dictate of Universitypolicy. IGreat new ideas in education necessarily jmust come from small, especially new, institu- ;tions such as the University of Chicago was jforty years ago when it catapulted onto the |educational scene under President Harper. A |big institution cannot afford to depart radical- |ly from the established way of doing things, jIt would imperil its institutional existence, jotherwise. |But this is not to say that there is no hope jfor the University. The University can be inthe forefront of the adoption of new methodsby established universities, it can perhaps helpevolve a satisfactory intellectual synthesis onwhich the new education can be based. It can¬not put that synthesis into practice before theresistance has been diminished by the successof smaller institutions that can afford to risktheir existence.Vol. 38 JANUARY 14, 1938 No. 53^arooiiFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon ia the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 5831 University avenue.

Yesterday’s paper literally Ireeked with approaches—ranging from the sorrowful, !betrayed obituary of the IF bigwig.^; to the fiery accusa¬tions of reformer Lil Schoen.. .and all against the dirtyor Phi Psi’s, the nasty ol’ Phi Psi’s who have shattered jto lil’ bits the beautiful, trusting faith of the fraternity jboys. iThe Phi Psi’s, glorying in the publicity, arc taking jtheir medicine bravely, thank you. The hou.se is chockfull of stiff upper lips and gallant smiles. “Hahaha”they joke while hiding breaking hearts, “we’re going |to distribute 3000 handsome pledge pins by aeroplane to- jmorrow afternoon.’’ Very amusing remarks all ofthem. To those of suspicious mind there is a breath ofthe slap happy about the whole affair.It set us to wondering just what dirty-rushe<l fre.sh-men looked like. On exclusive inside authority they lookjust like Rill David.son, Bill Rogers and Bud Hazlewoodof the Judson-Burton clan who have proved themselvesmore loyal than discreet in the vicious circle of dirty-rushed freshmen doing a bit of dirty rushing on theirown hook. Alpha Delt informers include Homer Haver-male and Tom Snarr, little pitchers with the big ears,who heard much in and about the drafty corridors ofthe dorms.. .unconsciously told all... and will probablygo Alpha Delt. A nasty-minded go.ssiper even hintedthat the Alpha Delts knew all about the affair a longways back, had merely bided their time to blow theworks at the last moment when it might do the worstharm.Sunday night Phi Psi’s will drown their sorrows...try to forget the ru.shing function snatched from undertheir very noses with an open house. Open hou.ses area lot more fun than rushing freshmen anyway...Inthe meantime they pump Dean Smith to find out whowrote on Cobb sidewalk “We are bad boys. Signed,Phi Psi’s. Whoops, there goes Monday.’’ Nothing moreexciting was discovered than that the paint wasscrubbed off by a conscientious B and G department.At the risk of plagiarizing Lincoln Steffens, maywe mention his precept about good men in a bad sys¬tem.All of which is swell publicity for the Phi Psi’s.Perhaps, to do other people our Boy Scout good turnwe should mention a recent Closed Fraternity Party'when members of Another Fraternity walked in thefront door, five freshmen were hastily shoved into thekitchen until the danger blew over. For a small (?)sum you too can get your dirty rushing publicized.NOW THAT THAT'Soff our che-st, you might like to know aboutthe advantages of being an Aide. Red tassels on theircaps signifiy that the President’s girl friends are work¬ing on a strictly non-commercial basis for the glory ofold Alma Mater. But, as in the case of Wednesdaynight’s trustees’ dinner, the red tassel mu.st come off andbe substituted for a black one. The black angle hasnothing to do with either Hitler or mourning as youmight suspect...it merely indicates that the Aides andMarshals have gone commercial to the extent of ac¬cepting Filthy Lucre for their services, to which isadded as special bonus, of course, the privilege of seeingHarold Swift in Person.Could you imagine anything more thrilling?

Itboasts a large membership, 89 inall, and pos.sesses one of the threehouses on campus constructed ex¬pressly for fraternity use.Costs are above average. Activesliving in the house pay $60 a month,this charge including all meals, whileactive living outside are assessed$25. Pledges residing at the dormi¬tories are charged $16 a month, thoseliving at home paying $20. Initiationfee is $60. It should also be noticedthat members are not assessed forspecial affairs as is the practicefew houses.Alpha Delt’.s eight seniors, 15 jun¬iors, and 16 sophomores are well dis¬tributed in campus activities. Thefraternity claims four men on thefootball team, five basketball players,three swimmers, six track men,three baseball players and men onthe wre.stling, gym, tennis, and hock¬ey aggregations.Actives also number two positionson the Intramural board of control,and four I-M managers, three posi¬tions on the Daily Maroon, includingthe business manager; a sophomoreeditorial and business assistant, agraduate editor-in-chief, the adver¬tising manager and circulation man¬ager of Pulse, three Student PublicityBoard positions, members of theChapel Union, Student Social Com¬mittee, Settlement Board, and treas¬urer, business manager, and six menin the Dramatic Association.This fraternity, then, is not a“typed” house. It is especially strongin basketball, football and publica¬tions but is represented in all fieldsof endeavor.In order to aid deserving members,a $43,500 scholarship and endowmentfund has been provided. Results ofthe I-F scholarship ratings showAlpha Delta Phi to be numberedninth with a slightly better than Caverage.Like many other fraternities, theAlpha Delts believe associations withits alumni group and Mothers’ clubare beneficial to its members. Be¬sides owning and maintaining thehouse interested alumni meet an¬nually with the active chapter andkeep in contact through occasionalluncheons with the present members.Association with the Mothers’ clubhas resulted in monthly teas to whichmembers are invited.Finally the Alpha Delt house, be¬sides being one of the newest, is alsoone of the best fraternity buildingson campus. It includes two gamerooms, a library, and sufficient space Beta Theta PiThe Beta’s have long been knownas intellectuals on campus, results ofthe Interfraternity scholastic surveysubstantiating this statement, buttheir interests also extend into otherfields.Activities find them well repre¬sented on the track team with fivemen, on the basketball, fencing, andwrestling teams, and in the DramaticAssociation, Daily Maroon, Pulse,and Debate Union.Beta Theta Pi also possesses thehead marshall, editor of the DailyMaroon, the usual men on Skull andCrescent, (every fraternity has atleast one member on it) a member ofthe Chapel Union Board, Owl andSerpent, Camera Club, Student Set¬tlement Board, I-F committee, fiveConservative delegates of the PoliticalUnion, and two members of the band.The fraternity is of average size,I listing six seniors, nine juniors, and® eleven sophomores among its actives.It is also in the average-low costclass, members living in the housepaying $45 per month while otherspay $15. Pledge dues of $2 a monthdo not include any meals. There isan initiation fee of $50 and assess- |ments run to about $1 a month. |To stimulate the intellectual sideof fraternity life, the Beta’s weekly jinvite faculty members to dine or ispeak with them. In past years Presi- Ident Hutchins, Mortimer Adler and iThornton Wilder have been among ^those accepting the Beta invitation. iAlumni support is expressed ithrough a loan fund provided fordeserving students.
