Jones LashesPresent Setup
In chapel yesterday, Bob Jones. President of the P
IFC. gave his critique of Davidson's fraternity system.He began his speech with the)
assertion that a fraternity sys-tem should further the aims ofthe college at which it is lo-cated. With this basis he sur-
Why Fraternity?See Editorialon Pag* Two
veyed several aspects of Da-vidson's fraternity set up.
The first point he stresseddealt with the disproportionatepowerof the fraternities due tothe large percentage of mem-bership.This couldbe resolved.!he felt, with a larger and!stronger independent group.
He next criticizedthe current"survival of the fittest" com-petition among the fraternities,stressing that in such an un-balance of strength the healthycompetition which strengthensa fraternity is prohibited.
Rush week needed some defi-nite correction he said. His per-sonal preference was for a rush:week combined with orienta-1
tion similar to the practice olWashington and Lee Universi-ty
His forth point concerned theenormous size of some fraterni-
] ties.He suggestedas an alterna-1 live to the present emphasis ofquantity of members a programthat would emphasize quality.This basically was an arrange-ment for preferential biddingand a quota pledging system.
A final point was that of HellWeek. The presentpractices, hestated, were as inefficient amethod of producing unity inthe fraternity and pledge classas possible. Inaddition he point-ed out that Hell Week has beenstrongly condemned by the Na-tional Interfratemity Confer-ence and by every national fra-ternity.
In concluding he stressedthat although some of his ideasmight seem radicaland new. inreality they comprised a basical-ly conservative program de-signe to make Davidson's fra-ternity system more effective.

College Church GetsNew Hymn Books
Students at the college vesper services will be sing- Jing from a new pan-Presbyterian hymnal, .six hundred iand fifty copies of which have been placed this week <
in the College Church. '11 Titled simply Th» Hymnbook,- the- volume was produced in1 1955 by the five major branches- of the Reformed faith in this- country — the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian Church,the Reformed church in Ameri-
I|ca (Dutch), the United Presby-; terian Church, and the Prrsby-i terian Churches. U. S. and" U. S. A.
Members of the Department- of Music who have examined. the new hymnal point out that
it has nearly three times asmuch resource material for ser-vices of public worship as thebook which has been in usefor thr past five yean, and thatthe musical setting of manyhymns is vastly superior tothose in the former hymnal.
Keillor of The Hymnboofc wasDr. David Hugh Jonos of Prince-ton, and servingon the editorialcommittee was W. TalliaierroThompson, '09.

All however, is not smiles. Whenless than half can identify a portionof the Bill of Rights and Jti do notre.ognize .1 famous Bible verso thenit is time that somebody the freshmen and the educators do a littlereappraising

Who's fault is it thai 0 few canidentify key political, scientific, ath-letic and literary figures ot our his-tory' Certainly We cannot put all theblame on the freshmen
We have a feeling that their highschool training might have had sone-thing to do with it We wonder, never-theless, just how many do read anewspaper, or a national magazine,orevena historical novel every now andthen
In summing up. wo must say thatwe still don't understand the lackof knowledge Maybe it is just toomuch to expect college students to boable to identify old fogies like Bis-mark and Plato

The boywho has better than a "B"record offers substantialevidence of his ability;where the record itsprinkled with "C's" (orworse), the AdmissionsCommittee begins to lookwith a somewhat jaundicedeye."

Mr. Hobart denies that the Trustees have directedthat the front campus be converted into a minature golfcourse, therein squelching the rumors that the GreatGray Golfer has been asked to occupy the empty whitehouse on North Main Street (aiess wellhave to keep look-ing.
