Pa under the net of March 3, 1879 Fr/day, April 19, 1940 LOOKING AHEAD IN FRATERNITY AND NON-FRATERNITY RELATIONSHIPS RECENT DEVELOPMENTS in the In- Lcrfratei nity Council and the Independent Men's Association indicate undeniable im ovement in both co ganizations toward the advancement of a greater Penn State. 'I ne 'cunt adoption of a new ai range -aent under which IFC books will he audit ed quarterly, placing the Council on a sound financial basis, is an Important step of pi ogress. The new rushing code, the Ira lenity handbook, the Interfraternity Sing, and other activities attest to the success of the 1939-40 edition of IFC. Pat alleling this success is the IMA's ac- L,eptance into the National Association 'of Independent Men—a notable achievement for an organization in its initial yeas. The growth of units, the IMA Ball, and other tunctions have contributed to making the first yea] outstanding. But, the achievements of this year's Council and this year's Association are but a drop in the proverbial bucket to the pos sibilities for these oiganaations of the fu ture. If the incoming members are as ac tive and efficient, these groups will have unlimited opportunities to advance the wel fare cf the fraternity and non-fraternity systems and of the whole student body in the greater Penn Slate which is to come. While the MIA is still in an embryonic stage and needs only to strive foi continued expansion, the WC ha%, been well-estab iished on the campus. Nevertheless, both organizations may profit by this year's mistakes—few as they may he Both groups should meet more i egularly. No body can he a powerful, active force if A meets approximately once a month at no definite time with about half of its mem bers present. Interfraternity Council has suffered on numerous occasions because at tendance was slight Once both organizations streamline their membership qualifications and attendance ..egulations, they will he ready, to capitali7e on the myriad opportunities to be powerful factors in our College life These opportunities are limitless: They may serve as true clearinghouses far fraternity and non-fraternity ideas and policies. They may take definite action to raise the scholastic average of both groups to a higher level, by offering such incentives as scholarship cups and by encouraging pro. gressive study methoths. They may give definite impetus to the movement for vocational guidance and placement of graduates, perhaps establish ing w central bureau to aid each fraternity and' each unit in planning its own place ment service. They may institute a joint circulating li brary of recent books to supplement the lihraric-3 of individual living quarters. And, featuring the list, they may corn •-•zne in extending the efforts tO break down the now-diminishing barrier between the fraternal and non-fraternal groups. Penn State's Interfratei nay Council and Independent Men's Association should heed the words attributed to Benjamin Frank lin: "United we stand, divided we fall."

Stod dart, dean of the School of Lib eral Ails, denied the benefit of founding a School of Business Ad ministration The members of the profession al haternity, Delta Sigma Pi, wish to refute this article irt . whole and by parts We grant the dean that some industries do have specialized training in then fields and do rely on colleges only to supply a general background But, we ask, what are those, graduating from the commerce and finance curriculum to do when they are employed by the many concerns that do not have their own schools'? .i Is it fair to throw the burden, of , education on industry when colleges and universities are founded for just that purpose 9 A School of Business ' Administra tion would train specialists in any phase of business Secondly, a separate school with with business and cultural sub jects intermingled would give the broad background the dean fav ors and at the same time permit stlidents to speciallye in the fields they are interested in It is true that a separate school would increase expenses But; af ter all, isn't adequate education the right of the taxpayers who are supporting students not now satis fied with the commerce and fi nance curriculum and students who now are getting very little out of it? The argument that a new school would force faculty members to take salary reductions has no basis It doesn't stand to reason that any person with as high a calibre of education as a profes sor would take a reduction an sal ary just to teach in a separate school. On the other hand, the standard of the professors would rise and the salaries would rise simultaneously Clarence H.
