Inter-fraternity Council Speaks Up
The Inter-fraternity council inay be able to vindicate the
bold stand it resolved upon last Wednesday. Regardless,
though, of the right or wrong of its action, it has distinguished
itself by at last responding to the urge of integral action. By
acting in concert, the members demonstrate their power and
right to be heard in determination of campus policy.
The Emerald has previously exhorted the council to show
its strength. But too often have its members regarded with
passing interest their mutual problems. Rivalry has been fos
tered to a point of haughtiness. The strain of participating in
the crowded schedule of the intra-mural program so weakened
the vitalities of some organizations, that the diseases of selfish
ness and hatred possessed their mutual spirit.
The last council meeting of the term found delegates at the
inter-fraternity gathering disgusted with the killing pace it
was necessary to maintain, with rivalry so great. One member
had the courage of his convictions to throw a bomb into the
meeting, and, much to his surprise, found his fellows willing to
help him throw it. The reception of the recalcitrant scheme
was enthusiastic and nearly unanimous. The council suddenly
found itself invested with a power it did not know it had. The
members, when the fury of debate had subsided, gazed about1
the council chamber, noted the happy faces of one another
and felt they had for once secured decisive action on an issue of
real importance.
When the move of the inter-fraternity group is completed,
then will it deserve commendation, not necessarily because of
sentiment and the triumph enjoyed from harmony of action.
If tin1 council will tolerate no interference with its plans;
the soundness of its judgment, but on account of the union of
if all members of the group will abide by the decision of last
Wednesday, and, in addition, succeed in establishing a sports
program satisfactory to all members, then should it merit sin
cere praise and admiration. Truly, for the first time in years
the Inter-lraternity council has embarked on a scheme gaining
for it recognition of its power. We are glad to see the council,
by a determination, prejudiced or not as the case may be, render
a clearly defined decision, and not revert to its old habit of
passing resolutions and “referring to committees.”

WHY INTER-HOUSE SPORTS?
To the Editor:
If the action against house sports
that was taken by the inter-fater
nity council goes through, there
will be only one real excuse for the
existence of fraternities on the cam
pus at all, and that w'ill be to re-:
lieve the housing situation. Other
than that, the fraternity will be
serving no real purpose on the cam
pus.
home may come back with the
answer that scholastic standards
are steadily to be enhanced, and
that the fraternity is serving a pur
pose in being an agent in their
promotion. True, the fraternity is
encouraging its members to stress
scholarship more and more, and it
is a good thing, but by acting in a
concerted way-—as a fraternity—is
it actually accomplishing what it
is attempting to do? Is it accom
plishing more in that direction than
the student that belongs to'no living
organization Are the grades of the
average fraternity man any better,
as a result of all this propaganda
on the part of his fellow members
than they would be were these same
men living in private dwellings or
dormitories where they can study
more or less at their own volition
and discretion?
With the abolition of inter-fra
ternity athletics the spirit of com
petition will not be so keen among
the different houses. This competi
tive spirit is clean and wholesome,
and not only is it centered in ath
letics, but it has a tendency to ex
tend to other phases of fraternity
competition and makes interest
keener in those particular phases,
also. The tendency, with the pass
ing of inter-fraternity sports, will I
be to fall into a state of stagnation
and paternalism. This, in my be
lief, would be very undesirable.
The whole situation seems to rest
upon the time element and scholar-'
ship. The time consumed by the
participants in doughnut sports pro-1
vents these same men vrom properly j
applying themselves to their studies.!
The woman’s houses have the same
kind of system, yet it does not
seem to handicap them in that re
spect. Nearly every sorority on the
campus stands above the highest
men’s organization in scholarship.
If time is so consequential in!
scholastic ambitions, why then are
not the women similarly handicap-;
ped?
With ttio system succeeded by
that of intor-c lifts contests, not so
muny men will participate in the
sports. The program will not be so
extensive, and neither will it be
any more beneficial, because the
men that were formerly participate [
lag in these sports will now have
time on their hands that they are
not accustomed ot having, and in
sti ad of studying, as it is planned,
they will be sitting around the fire
place whiling away tlu'ir time by
worthless discussions, or thev will
b' canoeing on the mill race or at
tending a matinee, or engaging in
some other equally beneficial pas
time. The •answer to this will be
that this condition will gradually
bo overcome as the new system i
in force, but will it ? The excess
time will still be there, and they
will finally make their chief ob
jective the killing of time rathe*
than studying, and this will develop
into the destruction of scholastic
standards.
The best way to k c+y < from
growing morose and indiffer
ent is to keep busy- engage in stu
dent- aetivitiies—keep your sche
dule full so that there will be some
thing to do all the time—-something
t■ i drive you to it other than ad
vice from your brothers. The con
stant preaching and threatening of
house officials grow old and soon
become commonplace. With a full
program, something to keep you
moving all the time, there will be
no time for a relapse. Your energy
will be always refreshed. The only
danger is overdoing the thing, but
doughnut sports (loos not over do
i it.
It is the over-organization of
the campus that puts a damper on
all of the worth-while things. In
the same issue of the Emerald that
brought the news of the council’s
action to the attention of the stu
dents was an article on a new
honorary organization. A duplica
tion of what already is on the cam
pus and there are many—yes, al
most hundreds of similar organiza
tions on the campus that receive
recognition that are absolutely noth
ing but an organization—something
to take un the time' of energetic
students at the expense of some
thing important to the physical
education department and to the
students and houses themselves.

YOUR ALMA MATER
There are two ways of going j
through university, and they are quite
distinct from one another. The first
way is to go through for the sake j
of the knowledge that is to be
gained, and the second is to go for
some knowledge and a little of that
very intangible thing that leaves a
man broadened and stamps him as
ihaving “education.” At the first
glance it would seem that the only
difference between these two is that
the second is the first with something
added. This is not the case. If a
student is going to take part in col
lege activities outside the realm of
his studies, his studies are bound to '
suffer to some extent. What he gains
from his activities is somewhat off
set by what he loses in academic work.
When a student enters into as
many things as his studies will allow
he is gaining experience that in after
life will aid him no matter what his
work. He learns how to mix how
to play the game, how to stand, it
may be, a sudden popularity without
losing his head and finally, he gets
to know the real meaning of respon
sibility.
This last is something that cannot
be picked up by the man who uses
books alone. It is true he feels that
a certain duty is owed to himself
and to his professor but how does he
feel towards his fellows? Does he
recognize that he owes something to
them also? He should. Tf there is
anything a student can do that will
help those who are sharing the uni
versity with him it is up to him to
do that thing. And there is some
thing for all to do. If a man plays
a game, if he is his class executive,
if he is a member of a college club
of any kind, he is taking part.
We are thankful that theer are
few students at McGill that “don’t
take part,” but there are some, and
there are others who are not doing
their full share. Are you one? If
you are. climb out of the rut and
be a credit to your university.—
McGill Daily.

PIGGING SECRETS
NOW MADE PUBLIC
Pigging is tlie most frequent, the
most common and the most expen
sive spring pastime. A spring with
out picnics, canoeing and an un
reasonable amount of social activity'
would be like a term without exam
inations, and just as possible.
When the fair co-eds of the insti
tution begin to adorn themselves in
the sort of garments that were ad
vertised all winter as “the new erea
jtions for spring,” and when the mas
culine element spends more time shav
ing and less time in front of the
fireplace, then, spring is arriving.
There are methods of pigging;
'originality is the keystone of success.
There are, however, a few fundamen
tal rules that it is well to bear in
mind: (1) Even in the spring sea
son the well trained man never at
tempts to pig three girls from the
same house at the same time. (2)
Tt is well to be somewhat sly about
library dates; the library staff often
j objects to having individuals paged
i during study hours. (3) Singing on
tho mill race should be confined to
; members of the glee club, others had
better supply themselves with port
able phonographs.
Spring is romantic, entrancing and
mystic. Hearts beat faster, flutter
more and break easier during the
warm months of April and May. But
in all of this the successful pigger,
who would be there for next season
will remember that this is not a sum
mer resort and that classes meet
whether the sun shines or not.
EDITOR’S NOTE
With this issue we begin our series
of special articles by campus author
ities. Months of investigation have
been undertaken in the preparation
of these features. The purpose is to
inform our readers of all the “inside
dope” on the things that happen
around this intellectual paradise dur
ing the spring quarter. We advise
freshmen to take especial care in
this series.
During this investigation thin
authors learned that the most im
portant factor of University life dur
ing aqy of the seasons is th'e re
liability of Obak’s Kollege Klub.
