A Native
Dance
Looking out my bathroom
window
I perceive a native dance
Yellow, brown, and reddish
clusters
Swirling in the storm's advance
Clouds above look down in
menace
Threatening to unleash a burst
At last it comes the steady
rainfall
Replenishing the call of thirst
Winter's edge is creeping closer
Pushing out the sweetest com
Naked treetops slightly tremble
In the wake of icy thorns
Now the rhythm of the water
Cancels every fairy feat
Leaves are forced to crumbled
stillness
By the drummer's steady beat

After weathering some down
years, the fraternity man is back
to stay.
F'ratemity leaders at The
Pennsylvania State University,
home of the Nation’s largest
fraternity system, report that
fraternities here have fully
recovered in the mid-1970’s
from a steady membership
decline that had followed the
all-time peak year of 1966.
“Ilfs been three consecutive
years that we’ve increased
memberships,” says David
Stewart, fraternity adviser.
“This follows a year-by-year
drop in interest evidenced
during the late ’6o’s and early
70’s, with the most significant
decline coming in 1973.” '
There are 2,071 fraternity
men at Penn State. They
constitute about 13 percent of
the available undergraduate
pool, Stewart figures. A decade
ago, when membership peaked,
approximately 1,000 more were
fraternity members.
“Fraternities have regained
the acceptance of most
students here. I don’t think
this’ll go away," says the senior
management major. “We have
reversed the downward trend
because fraternities have a
dapted to student needs. We

now offer a total living
experience (Penn State’s frater
nity houses are among the most
beautiful chapters in the
country); fraternities are not
just clubs. We stress academ
ics, service, leadership oppor
tunities and athletics, among
other things. Last year Penn
State fraternities raised $60,000
for numerous charities.”
McKown notes that fratern
ities here are embarking on a
program that will, he hopes,
prevent another extended mem
bership drop due to students
claiming, sometimes with good
cause, McKown admits, that
fraternities don’t meet “rele
vant’ needs. Many students
during the years fraternities
suffered membership losses
emphasized “doing our own
thing,” casting aside tradi
tional, structured institutions
like fraternities.
“Perhaps most men flock to
fraternities for the social life, 1
don’t know. But in the future
we’ll have to offer them a lot
more than beer to keep them
with us. I think we’re already
realizing that”
Penn State has 49 fraternity
chapters, one more than last
year.

the Student Center with plans
on making the dance area
bigger than at the last keggar.
Also a new group will be playing
at this keggar, so make sure you
are planning to attend.
The XGI flag football team
had two exciting games last
week against the Easy Inn and
the Sixty-Niners. The Easy Inn
game was a dog fight from the
beginning with the final
outcome not being decided
until the last few seconds. The
XGrs had the football on the
Easy’s 15 yard line, first and

game. Hie frat failed to punch
the ball in on four chances,
mostly because ol some great
defensive plays by Easy’s
players. Hie final outcome of
the game was Easy Inn- 16 and
XGI- 14.
Hie Sixty-Niner game was
close through the first half until
the XGI defense took command
lead by Bob Leader's great
interception and run back for a
touchdown. Hie final score of
the game was 22 to 0.
On the subject of bowling,
the two XGI teams are rolling
along in the thick of things with
the hope of getting both the
teams into the playoffs in a few
weeks. Both teams are sporting
winning records and need the
support of all frat members.
On a final note I want to
remind all bat members to sell
as many raffle tickets as
possible because the proceeds
go to the Spring Picnic held in
May.
