C, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1952 NUMBER 133 Gree k.W air fan , ews O OdS Off Ofi ere Although still wheezing and wobbling on weak legs, Greek . Week was found by a Daily Tar Heel survey of fraternity officers to be better this year and de finitely here to stay. The survey, printed in yester day's paper, polled all' of the campus' 22 fraternities. In the same issue a story was printed in which President Henry Bowers asked that the power to try hazing cases- be removed from the Interf raternity Council court and given to the Men's Honor Council. He cited the IFC court's acquittal 'of- Phi- Gimma Deltaf raternity as inadequate" in a statement given to this paper. Printed below are statements of various otherstudent and Ad ministration- leaders regarding Greek Week. Ken Barton, SP nominee for president of the student body: "The fact that Greek-Week has not. been as successful as was or iginally hoped has been a great ways opposed hazing in any J parts of the program which I TamaiiSiS 0 tnmv varVifa nvrm Viol 1 ova firmer I steps towards its elimination should be taken. There is no place on a mature college campus for such foolishness. It is a violation of the rights of freshmen and all coeds of decency. - - "However, I do not believe that transferring the violation cases suggested by President Henry Bowers to the. Men's Honor coun cil will solve the problem. It will only break .down law enforce ment. The Interf raternity coun cil should be allowed to enforce its laws. "... Hazing has been abolished in words: now is the time to abolish it in action." . : Chancellor R. B. House: "Per-.! sonallv and on behalf of : the University, I am delighted with Greek Week as it has worked out here this year. I know the careful planning that went into all the arrangements.

"I think what was represented there by the elder borthers from the fraternities, in the character, brains and personality of the pledges, in the ideals of the Uni versity as presented by Dr. Greer, all of which found a warm re sponse from the students all of this, I believe, is a -high point in student life, and I believe it prophesises great things -for f r?. ternities in the University , at Chapel Hill." Roy W. Holsten, assistant dean of students: "The Interf raternity council, particularly Arthur Spaugh and his Greek Week com mittee, is to be congratulated for the positive contribution which the activities of fraternity pledges made to the campus during the past .week. Carolina should be proud of the fact that its Greek Week program is looked upon as an example by colleges through-; out the country. "This year's" activities culmi nated in one of the best displays of campus spirit I have seen in the past few years . ..." Dr. L. C. MacKinney, chairman of the. faculty fraternity com mittee: "Greek Week ended in as fine display of esprit de corps as I have -ever seen , among the Greek neophyties on this campus as I watched Lenoir hall ban quet the intellingent, intent faces of the handsome young men . I felt-sure of the successful future of UNC." - Arthur Spaugh, Greek Week chairman: ".We're still thinking too much in terms of Hell Week. Greek Week was far better this time than it was last " year.
