READ THE XEWS ARGUS ATTEND CIjASSES SEEK EXCELLENCE Throughout American college history a traditional group on campus has been the Greek let ter organization. Originally, they reflected in tellectual achievement. A few such as Alpha Kappa Mu and Phi Beta Kappa still do. Others represent societies in various professions. The traditional, old line Greek letter organization, however, now is a social organization. It emphasizes a certain amount of scholarship for eligibility, but otherwise concentrates on social activity. Eight of these groups are ac tive on this campus. These so rorities appeal to the young ladies on campus; Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Sig ma Gamma Rho sorority and Zeta Phi Beta sorority. Fraternities appealing to the young men on campus are: Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, and Omega Psi Phi fraternity. All eight groups are members of the Pan-Hellenic Council on campus. This group is designed to coordinate the activities of the Greek letter societies and to set high standards for their op eration on campus. On many campuses, the Greek letter groups are very powerful. A student must be a Greek to win any important campus of fice. Barbarians are part of the out group. This is not true on this cam pus. Greek letter organizations have flourished on this campus only since World War I, and they have never come close to attracting even a large percent age of the students here. Kappa Alpha Psi has not been on cam pus five years yet. ^ Unlike most college organiza tions, Greek letter groups may blackball a prospective member on the vote of one member or a very small minority. As a result, many students consider them snobbish. How valuable are fraternities and sororities? What values do they promote? The next issue of this paper will give a neophyte’s view of one Greek letter group.

Students Investigate Stealing (Continued from Page Three) or the particular group. The particular measures that a teacher employs are not nearly so decisive as is the manner in which he approaches the prob lem. The teacher must carefully study the psychological factors that are the root of the problems of stealing or the stealing of property from an individual or a corporation. The study of the child’s potentials, weaknesses, strengths, motivations, oppor tunities and frustrations will aid the teacher in the teaching of the attitudes toward personal and corporation property. The teacher’s own attitudes will determine to a great extent the measure which will be taken regarding stealing. —Dorothy Talbert, Class Reporter The Freshman Class of WSSC elected officers Nov. 29, 1965 after the Thanksgiving vacation. Only a small number of mem bers of the class was present to welcome and vote for their offi cers. The class is headed by an en thusiastic president, Allen Wil liams of New York City, some times referred to as “Big Al” or “Martin Luther.” AI promised to enlist the support of every registered freshman. “Only in this way will our class become a spot on the map,” he said.
