fraternity Research and Advisory Council, fraternities must
place a higher consideration upon
the intangible values of the men
they'select.
Describing fraternities as an
“integral part of the university,”
he said they have been subjected
to much public abuse under part

Fraternities
Better Men
President Eric A. Walker last
night praised the fraternities at
the University, stoutly defend
ing them against three charges
often leveled at fraternities in
general.
In a short speech at the Inter
fraternity Council workshop
banquet. Dr. Walker lauded the
fraternities for their achieve
ments on scholarship, drinking,
and hell week problems, three
which often draw public criti
cism. according to Judge Frank
H. Myers, the banquet's main
speaker.
“Fraternities at this Univer
sity have nothing to be ashamed
of scholastically." be said. He
also indicated that they are
well able to—and have—solved
the drinking problem and that
hell wok abuses have “long
passed into oblivion."
of a “serious attack on our demo
cratic way of life."
Myers said the greatest danger
to the fraternity system today
comes not from the outside, but
from “weak sisters" who would
destroy the system from within.
He included in this class both
students who do not closely iden
tify themselves with the frater
nity and are interested only in
the prestige of belonging to it,
and graduates who “never learned
to respect their fraternity” during
their college days. |
To strengthen fraternities, My
ers recommended a more careful
selection of new members, based
on intangible assets, including
congeniality and acceptability to
all; more personal guidance of
pledges; and an increased feeling
of brotherhood.
He also said fraternities must
remain free to place any restric
tion on membership they deem
necessary, because “to deny any
organization the right to choose
its own members substitutes co
ercion for freedom.”

Review
'Ruddigore' Shines
Grade-A Charm
The' Penn State Players in cooperation with the School
of the Arts last night served up a bewitching theatrical brew
composed entirely of grade A ingredients.
Their Schwab Auditorium production of the comic opera
‘Ruddigore’ retains every particle of the timeless sparkle
and charm of a Gilbert and Sul
livan offering.
‘Ruddigore’, or The Witches
Curse, is a satire on 19th century
English life. A burlesque of old
fashioned melodrama, the opera
points out common foibles of
everything from the social cus
toms of the day to income tax.
The idiosyncrasies it prods are;
applicable today.
Production Has Everything
The production had an abund
ance of everything—principles
possessing solo voices of caliber,
topnotch chourses. imaginative
costuming and scenery and an ex
cellent orchestra
Wayne Zarr, a veteran of last
year’s ‘Mikado’, turns in a polished
performance as supposedly Robin
Oakapple. a shy young farmer
possessing “the morals of a Meth
odist with the manners of a mar
quis.” Zarr’s real identity is Sir
Ruthven Murgatroyd, who is suf
fering under the curse of a witch
burned by one of his ancesters.
Pauloski Shows Talent

ing as the British Man-o’-war’s

brother of Ruthven Murgatroyd.
His art in pantomime and minc
ing gait are high spots in the
show.
The show’s fair innocent hero
ine Rose Maybud is sung well by
Carole Young. Rose, termed “A
tight little craft by Richard,” at
all times carries a book of eti
quette to consult as to the pro
priety of- the situations she faces.
Evil Rival Duped
The role of the villain and dis
picable rogue, Sir Despard Mur
gatroyd is deftly sung by Floyd
Santoro. Despard emerges as the
good-hearted soul who has been
duped into his evil role.
Barbara Kabakjian is quite com
petent in the role of Dame Han
nah. Paul Balshaw as Adam Good
heart, minion to Adam; and Mary
Jane West as Mad Margaret also
turn in performances of profes
sional caliber.

bridesmaids is the sprightly and
fluttering chorus of Gilbert and
