The War And: Fraternities—
What Will' They DO-
An aspect of this war's influence. upon the Col
lege which , must be considered—but which can't
yet be fully realized—is the
.effect, it will have
'upon fraternities. 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

Opinion Surveys Reveal ,
AUSTIN; Texas, Jan. 10--Before
Pearl. Harbor, many. Student Opin
ion, Surveys, of America. polls had
indicated collegians,. although sym-
pathetic with. the British and- the
Russians, were- unmoved by any
call •to join the embattled Euro
peans. -Even. more .than, the averr
age American. adult, students had
failed• to. mobilize their; spirit.
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.
