Just one year ago the Collegian launched an open campaign against the honoitti y system At that time the campus hat societies were "definite ly on the downgrade Deserving students were being overlooked Ideals were being discarded" In the time elapsed, several of the societies nave taken more than a decoded step forward and with such a step have automatically pulled the other groups to a higher level. The honor fairies have regained the respect of the student body. llow was this arcomplisheil9 It wasn't entnely a task of pulling teeth The six'honoraly societies theinselveti voted to place their finances 1111(1P1 the Inteiclass Budget Sys tem Such. ens the top ai inevement in the long awaited to sing of the batmen The men were not alone in then iise from the doldrums for the women, too, gained prominence by sponsoring beneficial student functions and reali7mg a general all-around uplift in achieve ments., Now a new set of names has been filed in the honorary 101 l call and the,societies of both the men and the women must cairy on uncle' a new student government banner ' With this Student Government Association talc mg an active pact in the control of finances and c/ith the finance, of the existing societies slated to appear on the books of the Inteiclass Finance Committee, it only seems fair and logical to real 17e the benefits which can be derived. Gone now are the days, the Collegian believes, when "self-seeking interests will creep In td usurp the powe'r and attempt to perpetuate them. celves In control at the expense of more deserv ing students" With the cooperation of the orga nizations In the new financial manoeuver they cannot help but have sufficient funds to use bene ficially And in line with the combined sy,tem of stu dent government, does it not seem possible lei the honorai 'es of the men to trade ideas with the honoraries of the women and vice vet sa 9 For a better honorary system—the needs of the men and women can he unihed, yet at the same time be deeenti Wired Now with the ham mon and women going under new hats, let's hope they ht well And can be worn well WOMEN IN POLITICS ORG , INIZATION among women =tridents has increased this yea' In the fieshinan class, 42 per cent. of the women pledged to 11 campus sor orities - Last year, the percentage of freshmen women who joined sororities was only 32 Sororities themselves are mei easnur in number as well as in membership, and one local house, flukratia, recently pledged to natiobal Zeta Tau Alpha. Two other local soronties, Enuinon and Charitides, are glowing constantly and a third, Sophrosyne, has just petitioned the Senate Com mittee on Student Welfare fot recognition With the rise of the Independent party'in the recent campus elections, non-sorority women showed then ability to align themselves with the 'men And Plulotes, social organization for non sorority women, has long been a piominent wo men's group Both in their social groups and in politics, women are learning to organize. Some are be. coming more sorority conscious; others are feel ' ing power unlimited by the bonds of a sorority. Are women too interested in the benefits of organization? Are they going to become entang led in the same political bribery and social feud ing as the men? 01 will they retain their exist ence as a body of women students apart from any affiliations or politics? The answei, of course, is still in the future It lies in the serails of women taking past in the all-college government. It lies in the way they use their privilege of voting in future campus elections And it lies in then• acceptance or re fusal of the men's political machinery. Will the women's student body be divided into eliciues and organizations? Or will it unite as , a,distinct and powerful portion of the college population? And can it do both?
