One Kind of Answer„
Fraternities at Oregon
State college hav-e just given
the entire Greek set-up a shot
in the arm by their much pub
licized Hell week to “Help”
week efforts. And, beyond
this, they’ve spread a bit of
good will for the college sys
tem in general, one which
some people apparently think
it a rat’s nest of lush living,
Communism and cheating.
The program at OSC, which
turned upwards of 600 men
lose on Corvallis and Benton
county churches, hospital and
park, is not original with that
campus, as nearly as we can
tell. But. after all, good ideas
are a dime a dozen; it’s the
person or the organization
that puts the ideas into effect
that should get a good share of
the credit. And in this case,
they certainly have.
We doubt it anyone would
deny that one of {he primary
aims at Oregon State was to
get some “good” publicity.
And that doesn’t seem so evil.
,We do the same thing with
our Halloween party for Eu
gene kids, having, incidental
ly, a good time.
The whole effort was, in a
way, kind of a rebuttal to a
statement made in a proof
copy of a new magazine called
Prospects, to the effect that
colleges and universities have
several ways of hitting the
front page—by having Com
munism discovered (or at
least spokemof as) on the cam
pus; by conducting a pantie
raid; or by inducing some of
the local athletes to accept
bribes.
While this may very well
be true, Oregon State has just
demonstrated that you don't
have to be bad to be talked
(or written) about.
And while we’re on the sub
ject of “good works,” it be
hooves us to congratulate
those who participated in the
Millrace clean-up Saturday.
We imagine those who were
down in the mucky bed of
that seldom stream would
have gladly changed places
with church window scrub
bers or grass cutters.
No matter. Point is that we
“worthless” college students
were willing to get our hands
dirty for a good cause. And,
’tis reported, they found a lot
of stuff in the bottom of the
’race—just about everything
but Communism.
