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." Their actions chatter

Two other Penn Stater's who
made impressive showings in the
finals were 135-pound John Alba

Aibarano, who had entered the
Anal iound via a 30 second knock
out, had his hands full with de
fending champ Tim Curley of
SyraOse. Although smaller than
his opponent, Albarano but up

ring experience gate him a Ihair
line nod and the title.
GROSS IMPRESSIVE
At 145 pounds, Gross gave it
the "old college try." But Ben
Dolphin, a boxer who had par
ticipated in 88 previous bouts,
had an approximate five-inch
reach and a ten-inch height ad
vantage over the game. Penn State
battler. Yet Gross, in fighting his
best fight of the season, dropped
a close-one which could have
gone either way.
Penn State's 125 pounder, John
Hanby . and 155-pound Lou Kos
zarek were eliminated in the
quarterfinals ,while 130-pounder
HarrY Papacharalamboue ; after
taking the opening two rounds
of his fight, dropped the third and
a semi-final bout. Paul Smith
was eliminated in the semi-finals
by 165 champ, Jim Rollier. At
175-pounds, Jack Bolger dropped
a close one in the quarter-finals.
Besides brazenpvich, two other
battlers, Virginia's 130-pounder,
Allen Hpllingsworth and Syra
cuse's 165-pound entry, Jim Rol
liar, also earned third titles. Vir

after his third crown, was unable
to compete in the tournament be

Thus, five champions success

regained his titlt and two fell
by the wayside.
At 155-pounds, Joe MiraUliotta,
the ringwise Virginia ring leader
who copped an EIBA title two
years ago, was successful in re
gaining his crown by decisioning
Catholic's Bucky Ennis. In the
semi-finals, Ennis had knocked
out last year's champ, Syracuse's
Chuck Rigoglioso.
Probably the biggest surprise
of the tournament came in the
finals of the 125-pound class when
Syracuse's Jim Hubs upset last
year's champion, Tom Cronin of
Catholic U.
Next year's tournament will be
staged at the U of Virginia while
in 1952 the tourney will be held

"One, two, one 'two" the sequence went and a

Somebody shipped them to Pat Harrington

them out alone.

to studious, economic-minded coeds, Penn State

Some fraternity social efforts run like a typ

to come to the aid of the party."
