PAGE TWO State Fraters Value of fraternities is a rip-snorting, red-hot issue on many college campuses, in conversa tion, magazines and proms. Such a topic, it, seems, cannot be discussed without at least half of the participants resorting to something bor dering fisticuffs. No doubt exisits that fraternities have some bad points, but if such a system tuts become part and parcel of school life at so many col leges and universities to the extent that fra ternities have, this is good proof that there Must be good points too. It is not our place to argue against the oft cited "snobbishness of fraternity people." Con tact with Penn State's fraternity men and a review of some of the philanthropic works that fraternities have affected at State and ekiewhere through the years would surely tend to dis credit that argument to the open-minded. Delv ing into the figures on support of many campus and town drives, for example, will prove that point. THE IDEA most oftened neglected is the per sonal viewpoint: how much has the fraternity system helped individuals? MANY CASES can be cited—tied up with physical, mental and personality adjustment— where fraternity life has benefited a college I boy. Younger men, many of whom have been y forced to face a program of wholesale adjust ment by entering a schOol filled with veterans who are more "worldly wise," have been brought out of their shell to acquire a more 'healthy mental outlook. Then there is the strong sense of "belonging to a group"--important to any periOn con fronted with a new, strange situation, and the study and economic help offered by many fraternities cannot well be disputed. Closely knit with Penn State in countless ways, fraternities provide revenue for the town, necessary housing for the College, a sense of responsibility for their members that is tdvan tageous to the College, a boost for many cam pus-wide activities such as the Spring CarniVal, and—certainly not least—entertairiment fOr ternity and non-fraternity man alike. SURELY THEN, Penn State fraternities need not verbally answer any rash charges of "justify your existence or leave."
