Member Rules

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."
