Member Rules For Honorary Get Pros, Cons B> Helen JarUson "Do you believe Skull and dag ger members should be chosen on n basis which would allow more than one member from a single living organization?'' was the ques tion put to ‘students in today’s Inquiring Reporter. Opinions on the method of mem bership selection for the sopho more men's service honorary were diversified. Some studente approv ed the present rule of no more than one from a living group; some backed the recent proposal that men be chosen on activities, with out considering the living organi zations. Mien Cross freshman in busi ness "Sue. I'm for it. It sounds like a fairer deal, providing mem bership doesn't become more or less monopolized in one or two houses." Dick Kingsbury senior in busl-, ness "Sure. I’m for it. It sounds leave it as it is. Some one house! might get too many members, and since it is a service organization, every house should be represented. Kod Calvert senior in English "I think what they should do is J abolish it altogether. It sounds like a Ku Klux Klan organization to I me.” Oil Polanski senior in business ^ “It would depend upon what they j want. If they want representation j then No keep it as it is. It they base membership on an ability criterion, then Yes membership | should be open to more than one | member from each house.” Amelia Rayslk freshman in j chemistry "No. I think only one j member to each house because i membership is then more exclusive, j With a more exclusive member ship. as a matter of course, it is a greater honor to get in. Effie York freshman in music _“Yes, I do. Perhaps there are more than one in some houses who are qualified, and it's a won derful opportunity for them to be recognized for their merits. Kay McCoy graduate student in chemistry "What little I know of such set-ups, I should think that the present members would pick just the fellows deserving of mem bership rather than limiting it to one from each house." Dart to Speak At Willamette Francis Dart, assistant profes sor of physics at the University, will take part in Religious Em phasis Week at Willamette Uni versity in Salem this week.
