Hell Week Hazing
Is on the Way Out
The hell week activities of fraternities have
often been the target of critics of the fraternity
system. It is a news item worthy of note, there
fore, when Judge Frank H. Myers, past chair
man of the National Interfraternity Conference,
tells fraternity men that some hazing and hell
week activities are "sadistic" and absolutely
without justification and should be eliminated.
Judge Myers' comments on hell week prac
tices were made at the second annual InterfraL
ternity Council Association of Fraternity
Counselors banquet Saturday night at the
Nittany Lion -Inn.
The IFC would do well to take seriously the
words of Judge Myers.
The IFC began to act against detrimental
hell week activities last year when it ruled
that fraternity pledges may not wear any dis
tinguishing signS on campus and recommended
that pledges be allowed several hours of
sleep during hell week.
Already this year the IFC has taken addi
tional action on _ the - hell
_week .problem. The
IFC set up a civic responsibilities committee
through which individual fraternities can ob
tain jobs for pledges to do during hell week.
In, the meantime, a great many college fra
ternity systems have abandoned hell week
hazing practices. Hell week has become a help
week on these campuses.
The IFC has started along the path toward
the elimination of hell week hazing. Judge
Myers' words should be used as a keynote
toward the establishment of a definite and
enforcable IFC regulation outlawing detri
mental hell week practices.
Some of these practices—such as keeping
pledges awake through the night, compelling
them to submit to humiliation and physical
punishment, forcing them to do such useless
work as shoveling a pile of coal from one end
of a cellar to the other—are, as Judge Myers
said, "sadistic" and absobitely without justifi
cation.
Such practices should be eliminated by the
IFC for the betterment of the fraternity system
and for the protection of the best interests of
fraternity men. As IFC President Stan Wengert
said in a recent statement to fraternity men in
the iIFC newsletter, fraternity men, as part of
the college community, have a responsibilty to
the college, the state, and the nation. That re
soonsibility is to make the most of the educa
tional opportunities made possible by the tax
payers and by the action of the government in
deferring college men from the draft so that
they may complete their education.
Any phase of fraternity life which inter
feres with the primary purpose of college stu
dents—getting as good an education as is
possible—is standing in the way of fraternity
men fulfilling that responsibility.
And those phases of fraternity life which do
interfere with the fulfillment of that supreme
obligation should be eliminated.

Safety Valv e--
Campus• Women Are Not
Mature, by Their Own Admittance
TO THE EDITOR: A strange sociological
phenomenon appears to have occured on our
campus. Currently there is an issue of whether
or not certain women's organizations should
publish their election statistics, a recognized
standard procedure in our democratic society.
Basically the • question is: Are the Penn State
coeds emotionally mature enough to govern
themselves by standard democratic procedure?
Strangely, the men students believe overwhelm
ingly that Penn State coeds are sufficiently ma
ture—even stranger the Penn State coeds be
lieve they are not mature!
If these facts be true, the men should not
force democracy on these women—instead the
coeds should be treated in a kindly and paternal
manner by the- men. Of course the immature
coeds could not be. permitted to have voice in
the direction of All-College affairs.' I am not
suggesting, however, that women should be left
out of college life; there are many campus activ
ities more commensurate with - their emotional
maturity.

Interpreting the News
Korean Talks
Need Deadline
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
Associated Press News Analyst
Current developments in the Korean truce negotiations suggest
the time may be approaching when the United States and her
United Nations allies will have to consider some sort of deadline
at which the negotiations must turn toward peice or, .a resump
tion of full-scale war.
One thing the Allies cannot afford to do, in the general world
situation, is to let the Kremlin
get the idea that, while they are
willing to fight the cold war, they
are unwilling to fight a hot war,
even in Korea. That would rob
the containment program of all
its strength.
Of course there has never been
any illusion about the possibility
of a real peace settlement in Ko
rea. The limit of Allied hopes
regarding the negotiations ha s
been a cease=fire on terms which
would not prejudice their entire
position in the Far East.
Communist Suggestion.
The latest Communist, suggest
ion in the negotiations, which now
have been going on nearly half
a year, shows little or no indica
tion of a desire even to meet the
minimum allied' requirements for
cease fire. The Reds suggest that
the fighting stop •where it is; and
that the questions of enforcement
of the armistice and exchange of
war prisoners be negotiated there
after.
This would mean robbing the
Allies of their ability 'to put on
military pressure for settlement.
Russian Attempt
The whole bUsiness seems to be
tied up with • Russia's attempts to
prevent the, concentration of al
lied strength in Europe, - delaying
the integration of West Germany

in Czechoslovakia.
- The prosecution of a half-war
in Korea, while insincere truce
negotiations continue indefinitely,
fits admirably into this picture
from the Red standpoint.
The State department always
has been doubtful that the Coin
munists wanted a truce.. High
officials have expressed the be
lief that the chance for agree
ment was about one in five. It
has seemed to me that the Reds
really needed a truce because of
the likelihood that the Allies
would either win the war or
force Russia, against her - wilt, 'in
to more direct intervention..
