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walks" are outdated, unneces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.
