In a letter to the editor he voiced a complaint against the hardships being brought on the fraternities by recent rulings of the uni versity. The letter, while it placed forth the arguments it contained in a sound way, was written with the fraternity viewpoint in stead of that of the university. Some time ago the university adopted a dormitory policy which was designed to reduce the artificial void which has ex isted in Hie past between unaffiliated men and the Greeks. To gain this end, which is as commendable a goal as an institution of higher education could want, the administration has created self-governing units within the men’s dormitory. This dorm avus built with an eye to the future enrollment nt the university and was larger than was necessary at the time. So rather than have a white elephant on their hands, the ad ministration passed the requirement that all underclassmen live either in fraternities or the dormitory. The Greeks cannot pledge men out of the dorm now. They were allowed to pledge their houses full rush week. Only new students in the university or upperclassmen may now be pledged, the authorities taking 1 ho stand that these two sources would care for the “casualties” siiStuined by the fraternities at the end of fall term. Witli the dormitories organized as strongly as they are it is as inopportune for fraternity men to complain of their in ability to pledge men away from the dorms as it would be lor balls to get ambitious and seek to get men from the fraternities to fill their vacancies. Neither is a “feeder” for the other. Regarding the housing of high school delegates or athletes when they visit on the campus, it might be explained that all fraternities have the privilege of saying whether or not they wish to take cure of delegates. Often there is considerable con troversy over Avhere these preppers will be housed, fraternities vicing for the outstanding ones. The cost of meals for them is paid to the fraternities by the university at the rate of 50 cents a meal. The lone difficulty is then the sleeping question and that is helped out by dormitories handling their share of these delegates, both at meals and for the night. If criticism is to be leveled at the university authorities for their so-called “attitude” it must be borne in mind that they are not “out to get” the fraternities. The organizing of the dormitories into a more strongly organized unit will improve the lot of the unaffiliated man and contrary to belief of some the improvement is not being made at the expense of the Greek letter groups. Discussion of Religions Coming MORE than ordinary significance is the three-day reli gious conference which is to be sponsored on the University of Oregon campus November 21, 22 and 23 by the Y. M. 0. A. and the Y. W. C. A. At Unit time Rabbi Berkowittf of Temple Beth Israel, Portland, l)r. Harold Bowman of the First Presby terian church, Portland, and Father Leipsig of St. Mary’s Catli olic church, Eugene, will lead discussions in an effort to bring about an understanding among the students of the three most important religious faiths of the country. Under the guidance of three men as well known in the reli gious world as Rabbi Berkowitz, Dr. Bowman, and Father Leipsig, there is little doubt but what the discussions will be altogether fair and broad-minded, that the students who attend will be able to visualize the philosophy of each faith, and that there will be an added interest in the religious problems of the world. There have been times in years past when it. would have been impossible to have held a conference such as that now projected by the two campus organizations. The Jewish, Cath olic, and Protestant each looked on the other as being altogether wrong. Today, however, there is a marked change in the atti tude of an impressive proportion of the people of the United States. The Catholic is willing to concede that there are good Jews, and the Jews that there are good Protestants. All students on the campus should attend some of the dis- i missions to be held next month. Such conferences will go far toward building for better understanding among not only the j different religions but also among the different peoples of the world. Scholastic grades, as applied in the educational system of America today are merely a substitute for the dunce cap, said ; a New York educator, “Grades make a battleground out of the classroom . . . an A. B. degree merely indicates that the student has agreed with his professors during his four years at school,” he said. To which we answer, at last we have a good argument for low grades to use on the folks at home. No concerted drive is being made by the federal government against drinking at football games this fall. Judging from ones we have attended, that fact is evident—and bad on universi ties’ reputations. The University of California co-op sold a dog “complete for $10.” All fraternities here should examine their dogs to be sure that they, too, are complete. I. LEMON AHA! TIIE PLOT THICKENS.
