It is something : which now can only be guessed at. Nevertheless, somebody 'must guess and,. soon, somebody ,must act. In the, winter, of. 1917, one Penn State fvater tray had 44, active members and, pledges; at June commencement, the same fraternity, had two members., This time, the,effect should. not be as disastrous. because the army is not conducting an ~intensive campaign. for. enlistments and selective service officials are .giving more consideration to students in certain. curricula. However, the, •example does, serve •to indicate the. seriousness: of, the situation. Probably, the- war will affect fraternities in three main, closely allied Ways: .loss . :of 'member ship; the consequent loss of incomes, and' a dia metrically opposite ,need.,.for„ more income, created by . . rising . . prices,. There, can, be no.. doubt. that ..fraternities. will , suffer, in these .ways, . at. least. Something • will' have to be done. But what? Fraternities will have to sacrifice,. They can not continue to operate as usual becauSe to do so would- xequire more:money than fraternities, are .going to. have. Bluntly pushing psychological and ethical questions. into the background, - money, or ,the lack,. of it, seems to be the critical phase •of, the•predicament. Some of. the steps which fraternities may have 'tel take are: • 1. Eliminate , costly social affairs-. 7 -houseparties, Interfraternity Ball, and. formal fraternity dances. 2. Devise a. simplified. method. of. rushing. The present system is expensive—perhaps too ex pensive for future needs: 3. Do without house improvements and new furnishings. 4. Raise house bills. If expenses. can't be cut, revenues will. have to be increased. It is unpleasant to think of these things. It will be more unpleasant to do them. It is true they may never be necessary, and equally true that they may be.. Preparations for the latter ease should be made nbw. It is a job for Inter fraternity Council- -6 1 .-ih e r Frater nity Ctrunselors. The Collegian sugge3ta they start acting. What's The Matter? _ .Why ttai:etinties made more than a ialf-hearted eiTort toward cooperative buying? Nobody questions the aciv•Jmta,es. but nobody to care enough about the future of frater nities to try to establish a cooperative buying .s stem Is one fraternity afraid to eat the same food that .nolher does? Are fraternity leaders too lazy to uvderlake the work of organization? Do fra ternities feel responsible for the prosperity of 'eal merchants? Or have local merchants squelched the feeble eiTorts made by the few fraternity men v. - ho take any rorl interest in fra lernn,s !hpi The trtml)'l, <ll ,It . ti Downtown.,Offiee. 119-121 South , Frazier: St. phee8,.4372 • Louie jum ,:,,, why (I,lll't F••=m7lr''mm'al7mT9 u , 0/d Manta... .11kA WE LIGHTLY TURN The snow is crunching,all around .

But• the - change that has come about since -the went to war is staggering. New surveys complet-. ed since hostilities in the Pacific began; register the enormous effect the Japanese attack has had on the undergraduate mind. These re sults leave no doubt that college students—long criticized for their peacetime isolationist leanings— have immediately united and are ready for the personal -sacrifices war will demand: 1. Most college men would have preferred to have the draft age lowered to 18—affecting most of them personally—than have it raised to 45. Congress last month made men 20 to 44 subject to mil itary service. 2. Nearly nine in every ten are willing to give some of their time daily on local' defense committees. 3 . Almost as many want men not in the armed forces drafted for non-military duty. 4. More titan three-fourths, of the coeds approve of draftitag wom en for non-military tasks.
