Greek Week Proposals
In a meeting of fraternity presidents, Interfraternity
Council representatives, and other interested persons last
nii;ht, Allison Pell, president of the IFC led a discussion on
the merits of the Greek Week idea for fraternity initiations,
Pell stated yesterday that he hoped the group would be able
to formulate a definite schedule of activities and set dates"
J'or Greek Week in order that the plan might receive ap
proval in chapter meetings over campus tonight.
Right novv" there is no method of determining just what
setup will be devised by the Greek Week committee to pre
sent to the fraternities tonight. But there is much to be said
for the Greek Week idea, and every fraternity man should
cooperate to the utmost if the plan is adopted.
Last week a DTH editorial suggested that Greek Week
would be good publicity for th( fraternities. Well, itwould.
However, under no circumstance should this publicity angle
be construed as the basis for Greek Week.
The underlying purpose is to build a feeling of unity and
good will between the pledge classes of all the fraternities.
By participating in a number of activities jointly during
their week of initiation, the pledges will come in contact
with men from all the other fraternities.
Secondly, it is hoped that Greek Week will lead to an
eventual termination of some of the ridiculous displays, and
silly customs which the pledges participate in on campus
during initiation.
With these two goals in mind building unity among ALL
the pledge classes and eliminating some of the ridiculous
activities of Hell Week the leaders of the IFC are pushing
forward with a modified program for Greek Week. They
realize that no great changes will be wrought overnight,
but the Greek Week idea represents a step in the right direc
tion. Actually the whole idea of an old-fashioned
Hell Week el eek that everv one used to read about
C Of and shudder. is ging out style at Carolina.
ru 'c Several fraternities on campus have nomore
Ur .style than a formal initiation ceremony in the pro
cess of initiating new men. These houses 'seem
to have just as much unity and spirit as do the fraternities
which still adhere to some of Hell Week's more objectionable
features.
-
As one IFC spokesman put it, throughout the long weeks
cf pledge training, fraternities strive to make their pledges
conscious of the fact that they are gentlemen and that they
have a reputation to live up to. Then in one short week,,
they apparently do their level best to tear down this con
cept of a fraternity. In short, many aspects of Hell Week
are exactly counter to the goals of pledge-training.
Many fraternity men will say it's nobody's business but
their own as to how they run their initiations. - They have
a point. It is the individual fraternity which in the final
analysis can make Greek Week a success or a failure. The
IFC could never police a fraternity, initiation, and no one
would want it to. If a fraternity is bent upon subjecting
its pledges to varying degrees of humiliation before initia
tions, and is convinced that in the long run this policy i's
best for both fraternity and pledge, then Hell Week will
continue as before regardless of the wishes of other fra
ternities on campus.
But ther$ is one thing which everyone
Arc Vieweshould have in the back of his mind when he
p considers the Greek Week proposals. And
AS Vsroup this is the fact that the gener.al pUbiic views
On Campuifraternities collectively as one group of in
dividuals. If one does wrong, then all are
condemned, not just the erring fraternity.
If some student were killed or permanently injured dur
ing initiation, all the fraternities on this campus would suf
fer. No doubt there would be a move on the part of many
to abolish fraternities, and at any rate all could expect to
be tied down With University rules and regulations in the
future.
To those familiar with the fraternity situation it seems
silly to condemn all fraternities for the actions of one. In
dividual chapters vary greatly on 'this campus, just as they
vary from one college. to another, and go from down to tip
over a period of a few years.
But just the same they are viewed collectively by the
public, and it is to the advantage of all to realize this.
The idea of Greek Week is very much akin to the IFC
regulation of rushing. Certain controls are necessary in so
vital a function. Accidents during initiations and the ensu
ing rumors have been the biggest single reason why many
people look with disfavor on fraternities. Perhaps Greek
Week will be a solution. It's worth a try anyway.

Fraternities
By Allison Pell Jr.
The Interfraternity Council,
composed of two representa
tives and the president from
each fraternity, is the govern
ing body of all social frater
nities, and it is their" . duty to
assist the fraternities in. their
mutual endeavors, and to pro-
vide a
zation.
strong central organ i-
Working with the IFC and
the f ralerniiies is the office
of the Dean of Men. This of
fice has been helpful in giv
ing advice and making sug
gestions whenever any prob
lems ' were presented. It has
been the policy of this office
not to dictate to the frater
nities but to encourage lead
. ership on the part of the fra
ternities and the IFC.
The judicial body of the IFC
is the IFC court, composed of
seven representatives elected by
xthe IFC. It is the responsibility
of the court to enforce rules set
up by -the IFC to govern frar
ternities. The policies of the
court are not to act as a police
court, but to treat the students
as mature individuals who real
ize their responsibility to abide
by the honor system.
Each year the IFC edits a
handbook on fraternities to in
struct and orientate the fresh
man. Such information" as rush
ing rules, various routines of
fraternity life, making a wise
choice, and the expenses of a
fraternity man are contained in
thjs handbook. It is also the
IFC's job to make plans for and
see that fraternity Bushing is
conducted in order.
Always a major concern of "
fraternities has been their
scholastic standing. Aware of
the importance of scholarship
the IFC in an effort to boost
the averages of fraternities
sent out letters to all fratern
ities suggesting possible meth
ods of improving theirgrades.
Each quarter the Council also
presents a trophy to the fra
ternity with the highest aver- ;
age.
: - This year'' a joint committee'
composed of three IFC and
three IDC members and the
president of each organization
has been formed in an effort
to discuss problems that are
common to both organizations.
It is hoped that this committee
will be helpful in cen anting
relations between the two or
ganiations and between frater
nity and non fraternity men.
Through the 'efforts of the
IFC the Andrew Bershak
scholarship valued at $2,000 is
made available. The fund for
ihe scholarship is comprised
of donations of fraternity men.
and was formulated in honor
of Andrew Bershak, class of
1938. The scholarship is val
ued at $500 and is presented
each year for a period of four
years, and is to be awarded
to a North Carolina boy on
the basis of high scholastic
standing, character, and def
inite financial need,
For the past several weeks
meetings have been, held con
sisting of the fraternity pres
idents, Dean of Students, Bill
Friday, and student welfare
councilor Dr. Claiborne Jones.
In these meetings general top
ics such as fraternity scholar
ship, Greek week, and other 1
major issues have been dis
cussed. These meetings have been
of an extremely educational
nature to all concerned; and
in an e'ffort to continue this
practice" the IFC has written
in its constitution that these,
meetings shall be continued
, at least once a quarter. The
president of the IFC shall call
the meetings, that shall con
sist of ihe IFC representatives,
fraternity presidents, a repre
sentative of the Dean of Men's
ofiice, and any other parties
deemed necessary by ihe IFC.
This year the IFC has en
deavored to contihue strength
ening those activities that have
proven their worthand to add
to them new endeavors that
will tend to advance the work
of the fraternity in helping all
the students to a more satis
fying and fruitful life at Carolina.

Acheson's refusal to fc"turn his
back" on Alger Hiss is now
criticised not only by GOP Sen
ators but by Dictator Franco's
official radio. v
The Madrid broadcast is sig
nificant. Because likeMoscow,
the "Voice of the Falange" radio

of the Dictator.
It may also be significant
thai ihe Spanish attack on
Acheson and the State Depart

To the Editor
REPLY TO REPLY
Editor:
By way of reply to the letter
"Reply on Segregation," isn't
Mr. Hosansky leaning rather
far backwards in placing the
blame for Negro hoodlumism on
the Southern white?
Ii would be an interesting
but unsafe society which
would excuse crime and vi
olence on the grounds of
"sense of personal injury."
Certainly . segregation is un
fair, but is it to be solved
by allowing the Negro to
break laws' with an impunity
not allowed whites?
Perhaps in Jamaica, New
York, the reaction of a white
person, " threatened by a knife
wielding Negro would be, "Let's
not abolish segregation." Where
one third of the population is
colored the more likely reaction
is Mr. Simpson's, "Let's not
abolish segregation just yet."
I, for one, don't think it was
Mr. Simpson's own fault that
he was threatened, but per
haps I lack the objectivity of
a person from New York.

HILL ARIOUS
Editor,
Orchids to Zane Robbins
for his. column "It's Hill
arious." I'm sure every reader
thoroughly enjoyed his sage
comments which varied from
football to politics.
The DTH could well afford
more of this stuff and less of
pedantic items like Bill Kell
am's high-hat concert and drama
reviews. The average student
doesn't give a damn about such
trivia, so why devote all of
page two to print it.
I would much rather read
about next year's footall team
than the fact that the assist
ant to the assistant to the pro
ducer of "Green Grows the
Grass" did a good or bad job.
Let's have journalism with uni
versal appeal.

(McCarthy of Wisconson), who
added that these men held quite
important positions in this min
istry. It is not merely a ques
tion of Hiss, who has been con
victed of perjury and to whom
Acheson has promised his con
tinued friendship. We are not
surprised by this announce
ment any more than we were
surprised by the news that there
was every type of undesirable
among the advisers to the late
. President."
Acheson's defense of Hiss has
: a lot of interesting precedents
' in U. S. History. They include:
I Andrew Jackson's defense of
( Aaron Burr; Charles Evans
Hughes' , defense of Senator
j Newberry; Taft's early defense
I of Richard Ballinger later si
; lenced; and Harry . Truman's
! defense of Boss Tom Pender
i gast.
; " j The late Franklin Roosevelt
undoubtedly would have used
; a different strategy from
Acheson's. He operated on
the theory that such high of
fice as Secretary of Stale or
' President must be kept clear
k of embarrassing friendships,
that a good ' field commander
must remain behind the lines
while his troops and friends
were necessary casualties
in battle.
' But here are some famous
personages and incidents in
which they differed with FDR's
strategy:
HARRY TRUMAN Contin
ued his loyalty to Kansas City's
Boss Tom Pendergast, after the
latter served a jail sentence,
flew in a government plane to
his funeral, and promptly oust
ed U. S. Attorney Maurice Mil
ligan, who convicted Pender
gast, immediately after Truman
entered the White House.
Unquestionably Truman's loy
alty to Pendergast has hurt
him politically, but he has snap
ped his fingers at public opin
ion. NOTE It may have been
the Pendergast incident that
led Truman io support Ache
son when he informally offer
ed to resign over the Hiss in
cident three weeks ago.
Though the State Department
issued a carefully worded de
nial, here is exactly what hap
'pened. Acheson dropped in at .
the White House late in the
afternoon shortly after the
Hiss statement, and Truman
began to tell him, half -jokingly,
what a barrage of criticism
he had been getting. Acheson
remarked that he would be
glad to gel out if he was caus
ing any embarrassment, to
which the President told his
Secretary of State to stand pat
and not pay any attention to
those "yapping SOB's."
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
Cool, calm, and cautious Sec
retary of State Hughes did pret-.
ty-much what Acheson did when
Michigan's Senator Truman H. '
Newberry was convicted of vio
lating the Corrupt Practices Act.
". Newberry had been elected to

Go - Round
the Senate in a contest with the
late Henry Ford in which New
berry spent a great deal of mon
ey and later was convicted.
Hughes, then in private practice,
defended him, and the case was
appealed to the Supreme Court
which set aside the conviction.
By this time Hughes had be
come Secretary of State, but
nevertheless wrote a letter stat
ing: "The plain fact was that
Senator Newberry was wrongly
and most unjustly convicted and
his conviction was set aside."
The Hughes letter brought
just as loud protest from the
Democrats as the Acheson de
fense of Hiss has from the Re
publicans. Loudest io protest
was Cor dell Hull, later Secre
tary of State himself, but then
Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. Hull pro
claimed: . "If Secretary Hughes does
not know that the Newberry
seal in the Senate was bought,
he is the only intelligent per
son in America who does not
know thai fact.
ANDREW JACKSON When
Aaron Burr was being tried for
treason in Richmond, Andrew
Jackson was one of the few to
support him under extremely un
popular circumstances. Albert J.
Beveridge describes the Rich
mond incident as follows:
"A tall, lank, uncouth-looking
personage with long locks of hair
hanging over his face. . . mount
ed the steps of a corner grocery
and harangued the glowering as
semblage that gathered in front
of him. His daring and unmis
takable air of danger to anyone
who disputed him, prevented
violent interruption certain to
have been visited upon one less
bold. He praised Burr as a brave
man and a patriot who would
have led Americans against the
hated Spanish,-.
"Thus Andrew Jackson of Ten
nessee braved and cowed the
hostile mob that was demand
ing and impatiently awaiting
the condemnation and execu
tion of (Burr)."
NOTE As a result of this
defense. President Madison
held up Jackson's military
promotion during ihe War of
1812.
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
On Sept. 13, J 909. President
Taft wrote a letter to Secre
tary of the Interior Richard
Ballinger, completely absolv
ing him in the Alaskan land
scandals. In-1911,.. however .
Ballinger - resigned - following .
an investigation by Louis
Brandeis which disclosed thaT
the letter of 1909 actually was
written by ' Ballinger's attor
ney, Oscar Lawler.
The incident led to the his-"
toric split between Taft and
Teddy Roosevelt. Years later,
Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickes, incidentally a strong
Teddy Roosevelt man, discover
ed records which led him to
absolve the deceased Ballinger.
A Study

By BUly.Kellam. IV
Say, Mo did you see our cag
with their traditional foes,
Chesterfield U., the other night
on the local hardwood?
Yes, I saw ihe Tar Heels chalk
up a stunning win in a thrill
ing spine - tingling spectacle
which pitted two top notch
quints. I was one of the how
ling spectators who turned out
to see that Conference head
liner. .
Was it a hard fought, ftild
and wooly contest? ;
. Yeah boy, "it was a bruising
battle. The visitors opened fast
and forged to a quick lead. The
count wasn't knotted before the
intermission because lanky Ho
ratio Dizzy, Chesterfield's stel
lar set shot artist, was hot as
a firecracker last night.
Did he rise to great heights?
Definitely! This sharp shoot
ing pivot ace spelled the dif
ference between the clubs in
ihe opening stanza of this rug
ged conference test. He put .
fire in his mates with his bril
liant ball handling and steady
play. Incidentally, the rangy
wheelhorse cracked ihe game's
scoring ice by arching in a
one hand, driving set shot
right after the opening tip
off.
Really?
Yeah, but Ladia Pinkham of
the Phantoms also turned in a
good game. He and Wheezy en
gaged in a personal scoring duel.
Both spearheaded their team's
attacks by rolling in 76 counters
apiece.
Did Pinkham play a fine, all
round game?
Lord yes! He was a ball of fire,
so to speak. This smooth work
ing shot maker was a . veritable
spark plug. Even his language
was shocking. He controlled the
play under both boards as the
Phantoms unfurled a dazzling
attack and air tight, defense
which completely baffled the
outclassed Tobacconists.
What did you say the final
score was?
The Phantoms pocketed a
153-149 decision.
It was a tight contest. Did
the game ever threaten to get
out of hand? .
Yes, almost. Late in the battle"'ProPerty! of es temporarly.

In Jargon-
Did the Phantoms still prf..

Ah, yes. Their army of taU-t

Almost. But ihe Phanls
blew hot and broke away io

fered him the University pres
idency upon graduation and
whose brilliant work stood out
all night, pulled the game out
of the fire for ihe Phants by
flipping in a pair of two
points and dunking a brace of
charity tosses. Thus the Phants
were able to grind out an
other win.
Both aggregations of thin
clads must have played bang up

Oh, they did. It was a wide

both fired-up fives often en

ever in doubt.
....Was it an impressive victory?
Definitely. The Phanls were

as they rolled to the stunning

That's right, they toppled
the Tobs from the ranks of

They, sure did, and the stout
