Fraternities Condemn College 'Hell Week7 As Old Fashioned By UNITED PRESS A cross-section of fraternity men today condemned the , old fashioned "hell week" 'ordeals which resulted in the death of a college freshman 10 days ago. : They said the traditional "hell week" paddlings and "long walks" are outdated, unneces sary, and give fraternities a bad name. Some called them "idio-. tic" and even "barbaric." The fraternity spokesmen were ' queried by the United Press concerning the Feb. 10 death of an 18-year-old Massa chusetts Institute of Technology fraternity pledge. The pledge, Thomas Clark of Harvey, 111., crashed through reservoir ice and drowned 12 miles from the MIT campus. His superiors in the Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter had taken him blindfolded on a . car ride and ordered him to find his way back in the darkness. To Discuss Curbs " Clark was to be buried near his home today and at MIT fra ternity leaders met last night to discuss plans ;for curbing "hell week" stunts, i . ; : In other universities, many fraternity leaders said they had changed "heU week" to "help week:" Fraternity pledges, in or der to gain official admission into the fraternities, are 'ordered to roll up .their sleeves and form work gangs for some charitable purpose, they said. . ; - University officials at such in stitutions as Georgia Tech, Ohio State University Stanford Wis consin and the University of Pittsburgh have taken a hand by banning freshman hazing or ordering that "hell week" cere monies be restricted to the fra ternity house or the . campus boundaries. Anti-hazing rules are backed up by state law in Texas, where fraternity ordeals which" inter fere with a freshman's sleep are prohibited. " -: -' Some Defend Hazing Tom Denner, the : Inter-Fraternity and Delta Tau Delta chap ter president at the University of Oklahoma, said the fatal MIT hazing stunt -: "verges . on pure idiocy.' Russ Meyer, the Phi Gamma Delta president ' at Southern Methodist University, called the MIT incident "nothing short of barbaric." However, somes fraternity, spokesmen felt there is still a place for some of .the old-fash- ioned "hell week" in modern col legc life. ; .. ' Richard Tatus of the UCLA Phi Kappa Sigma charter said pledges are ': "paddled hard enough to remind ' them that they are. pledges." At Oregon State College, 31 fraternities have formed a com-' mittee to - evaluate their, entire pledge training program. Eddie Thomas, the Inter-Fraternity Council president at OSC commented "If fraternities would take a better look at their own ritual ceremonies, they would find that the road they can take has already been paved for them." : - : Every hour in 1954 tht rail roads of the U.S. performed the equivalent of transporting 62, 699,000 tons of freight one mile, or 777 pounds of freight per mile for every U.S. resident.
