Editorials Carrie Chapm4n Catt Has a Birthday

Following action by Convention last June, Pi Phis all over the country celebrated the eighty­eighth birthday of beloved Carrie Chapman Catt, Iowa r, with fine press articles and special meetings of active and alllIll!llE groups. Giving special prominence to the event, Mary Elizabeth Lasher Barnette, editor of From Pi Phi Pens, met and talked with Mrs. Cat! in New York on her birthday, and gives us the result in her section of this issue. Pi Beta Phi was delighted to honor Mrs. Catt, on as she said herself, "the first 88th birthday she ever had!" Truly hers has been and still is, a wonderful life of service-wh:tt a joy her memories must be!

+ + + Again of War Service . Still war records of Pi Phis continue to come in for inclusion in the national record of the Fraternity. These should be sent to the War Work Committee of last year, to be included in the long list of over 6,000,000 hours of work given by Pi Beta Phis, and to share in the Fraternity's "Well Done!".

+ + + We Apologize

On page 277 of the December ARROW, two organizations are confused-the money voted by Convention was given to the organization called "Save The Children," not to "Foster Parents Plan for War Children" as mentioned in the first paragraph of the article. The remainder of the article is correct, and tells of the work done by individual clubs and chapters for the "Foster Parents" organization prior to the time of Convention. The confusion existed only in the mind of the ARROW Editor, not in the handling of the fund, under the direction of Ruth Barrett Smith, former Grand Vice President.

+ + + Of Panhellenic T hinking.

During the biennium when the national chairmanship of National Panhellenic Conference is being held by Amy Burnham Onken, it has seemed fitting to devote feature space in this issue to topics of general fraternity interest, especially to the two subjects which are being most generally discussed-<ieferred. rushing, and racial discrimination. In order that our members may be informed as to the fraternity viewpoint, here for you to read are articles taken from other magazines, written by real authorities.

Let's be well informed on these subjects! Only so may we defend our position in the face of present.day criticism.

+ + + T owards N ext Convention

So many letters have come in expressing the reaction of members to the Swampscott Conven· tion-so many people express appreciation for work accomplished by Convention, and many even want more time devoted to strictly hard work- and yet how they loved the play! Two extracts from letters pleased us especially. One Came from Laurie Pritchard, Virginia r active member, hard· working and clever assistant editor of the DailYI who said, "If you are a newcomer to Convention, you Itave probably never seen so many Pi Phis, old and young, in your life. Their pins gleam from

their dresses, for it is a very hot day and coats are absent. There are diamond, emerald, pearl, plain gold, and even enameled pins---<l greater variety than can be found on a Balfour price list. And of course, there is just as great a variety of people---beautifuI, intelligent, inspirational people who wear them."

Another girl said, ''I've begun already to save my pennies so that I can go to the next one, too!" and from Ina Hileman, Iowa A, who couId not attend, caroe a fine letter :

"Pi Phis everywhere who could not attend the 1946 Convention have surely been thrilled with the reports of delegates and the account of Mrs. Hagee in the December ARROW. To many readers, no doubt, the outstanding picture was that of the always glamorous banquet, when six hundred Pi Phis stood to honor Miss Onken On her twenty· fifth anniversary as Grand President. Many, many more would liked to have sto04 with them. For those years of fine service and devotion during which Pi Beta Phi has continued steadily ahead-for keeping alive always the ideals of Pi Phi, by constant effort and example, we are all deeply appreCiative. Lucky Pi Phis to have such a leader !"

+ + +

Mary Thompson Reid First editor of the ARROW after its publication was moved to Michigan B in 1894, Mary

Thompson Reid, Michigan B, a notice of whose death on September 27, 1946, appears in "In Memoriam," laid the foundation of much of the ARROW as we know it today, when she originated features which have lasted through the years-such as Pi Phi Personalities and What a Fraternity Girl Thinks (the latter too often crowded out and no longer a requirement). Mrs. Reid edited the ARRow for three years. She was always active in alumm. work, and was charter member of two alumna: dubs, the original Chicago dub, and Detroit, where she made her home. She was president in Detroit when that club assumed responsibility for the Michigan Beta House Fund, and was president of the Michigan B Association. The present editor of the ARROW acla)owledges the debt of the magazine to Mrs. Reid, and has often found inspiration in her editorial writings in those more than fifty year old issues.

Four entirely new clubs were designated by the 1946 convention for membership on the Holt House committee. During the summe.r each of these clubs was asked to appoint one member to represent it. Those appointed were: Matilda Jordan Lippman (Mrs. F. P.) of Springfield, Missouri ; Hazel Murdock Murk­land (Mrs. Philip) of Beloit, Wisconsin; Katherine Stump Nail (Mrs. Vernon) of Iowa City, Iowa ; and Mary Legg Bohan (Mrs. Wil­liam) of Galesburg, Illinois. Ruth Wiley Wood ­ward (Mrs. Jack) continues to represent the Monmouth club.

Miss Onken was present for the committee's first meeting, held at Holt House on February first. In spite of a severe cold wave nearly every­one was present. The committee voted to in­stall additional storm windows, to paint the roof as soon as the weather permitted, and to make a few other minor repairs and improve­ments. Mrs. Nail was elected chairman, and Mrs. MurkIand. treasurer. Mrs. Woodward acted as secretary for the meeting.

Mrs. Nall is not only capable and efficient, but she has had considerable experience in house management, acquired through her work with the Iowa Z Advisory Board and House Corpora­tion. She has a very real affection for Holt House, a fact which is gratifying to aU those of

us who hold as precious this memorial to our Founders.

Mrs. Murkland needs no introduction to the fraternity. Sbe is well remembered and bighly esteemed by all those who have met her at national conventions and worked with her dur­ing her years of service as a province officer.

Mrs. Bobao bas bad previous experience on the committee. She once represented the Mon­mouth club for a short time, when she was a resident of that city.

Mrs. Lippman has been a loyal and entbusi· astic member of her own club for several years. in appreciation of tbe fraternity's designation of Springfield for membership on the commit­tee, one of that club's first official acts, at tbe beginning of the club year, was to donate an antique platter and fitcher for Holt House, as a memorial to one 0 its best loved members.

Mrs. Woodward will continue to attend to all local matters pertaining to the house, and to advise with Mrs. Carey who has been engaged to continue in her pOSition as receptionist.

All those who have served Holt House in the past-whether for one year Or six years--retain a lasting affection for the house. The new committee has their sincere good wishes, and the assurance of their willingness to assist in any way that they may be needed.

When it became known at convention that Many Pi Phis marveled at the St. Louis dub's the Holt House committee longed for a silver magnificent achlevement in raising $1,000.00 tea service, which seemed forever out of the for the Settlement School last year.

Other resolutions call upon member fraterni­ties to initiate programs of organized chapter house discussions in their respective chapters in an experimental way; allirmea the policy of the National Interfraternity Conference in respect­ing the integrity of chapters and individual memberships of fraternities belonging to the Association of Education Fraternities ; expressed to the presidents, deans, and other educational officers present at the conference appreciation of their attendance, hearty cooperation, and leadership in promotin,g fraternity on their re­spective campuses; paId tribute to Chairman Maurice Jacobs and others who made the con­ference a success.

The initial session of the conference heard Chairman Maurice Jacobs, Phi Epsilon Pi, give an impressive review of the activities of. the Ex­ecutive Committee and conference offiCials. He opened his address with the following state­ment:

"The problem is no longer one of survival, but of properly integrating this large student body into our present fraternities."

Later in his address he commented as fol· lows:

""After Mrs. Glenn Frank had spoken at the University of Minnesota, a check was made to determine whether her preseoce had in any way affected the fraternity SItuation on that campus, and we were/leased to find that in no way had she disturb< fraternity loyalties. The Frank furor has passed in the night, like other attacks .on the fraternity system.""

The Gold Medal for Distinguished Service rendered ""to youth through the American college fraternity" was be­stowed upon Lloyd Garfield Balfour fol­lowing the luncheon Friday afternoon. Al­bert S. Bard, Chi Psi, gave the citation. Mr. Balfour is a former national/resi. dent of Sigma Chi Fraternity an was twice chairman of the National Interfra· ternity Confereoce.

the educative program of the college was brought out io a report of the law committee by its chairman, David A. Embury, Acacia. (Mr. Embury was later elected new chairman of NIe.) He stated that out of two hundred and seventy-four replies there were only two that could be labeled as definitely aotagonistic to fratemities, whereas the great majority indi­cated definite approval of" Greek-letter orgao­izations.

One of the things which fraternity men need to do, according to Dr. Edgar J. Fisher, Alpha Delta Phi, assistant director of the Insti­tute of International Education, is to make sure that .the fraternities contribute very definitely and 10 new ways to the fundamental academic purposes of the colleges and universities. One of these ways, he pointed out, was to help larger numbers of foreign students to come to the col­lege campuses by providing board and room for them, thus enriching the life of the chapter through the cultural and educational contribu­tion that they might be able to make. Another way he suggested was occasionally to entertain foreign students in fraternity houses. He re­ported that between forty and fifty thousand students from all over the world wanted to at­tend educational institutions this year in the United States.

Chester W. Oeveland, editor of Th. MagaZine of Sigma Chi, was honored at the dinner meeting of the College Fra­ternity Editors Association, Friday night, in recognition of his tweoty-five years of service as a fraternity editor. Speakers at the dinner included Milton Caniff, who gave preview sketches of the new strip which he is to syndicate at thebeginnin/l of the year, and George Starr Lasher, edt­tor of The Rattle of Theta Chi. According to the custom established a year ago, Mr. Oeve/and was presented with a sterling silver bowl.

A high tribute was paid to fraternity men by Dr. H. E. Stone, dean of students at the University of California, in discussing "the vet­eran in college fraternities."" He stated that the contribution of fraternity men in the late war has never been questioned; in fact, it is recog­nized as outstanding and that fraternity men ranked high when leadership qualities were evaluated among young officers.

In conclusion Dean Stone said: "We have

358 THE MARCH ARROW

before us the opportunity truly to make the fra­ternity a vital part of the educational institutions in which it functions and a vital force in state and national inBuence_ If we help crystallize this wealth of maturity, experience, ability, and at­titude, we have within Ollr grasp in the present and immediate future, the golden era of Ameri­can college fraternities; moreover, the opportu­nity is OU[S to make fraternities a vital force in restoring democratic ideals in America as an essential to American leadership toward world peace:-

The committee on chapter house discussions urged member fraternities of the confer­ence to initiate programs in their respective chap­ter houses on an experimental basis and recom­mended continued study of tbe project.

The fraternities were defended by the com­mittee of public relations against the charge of being undemocratic. It said in part:

'"This charge is based entirely on the fact that we are selective organizations, but even the most liberal sociologists state that group life is essential to society and that all forms of organized group life must necessarily be selec­tive, if they would be effective. The intimate as­sociation of congenial men with a common pur­pose which is basic to fraternity life is essential to its solidarity and therefore to its capacity for constructive action and influence. Moreover, the right of selection is inherent in a democratic society, and it is illogical to label a democratic right as an undemocratic practice.

"If the fraternities will join hands in chang­ing their rushing techniques radically, your mmmittee believes that much of the charge of undemocracy and snobbery will die a natural death. We recommend a study on the question

with a view to concerted modification of our present procedures. . "The great strength of the fraternity is its unique character as a socializing agency, for so· cial competence, which means the ability to work with and to assume some degree of lead· ership among our fellows, contributes quite as much to successful living as does academic com· petence. The colleges are recognizing this, as well as the potentiality of fraternities close co­operation with the colleges. We should be fully aware of the significance of the tendency, and shape our policies and procedure to the end that we may play this important role in the educa· tional program to the full extent of our ability, because in so doing we shall not only be serv­ing the colleges better but we sball be con­tributing infinitely more to the personal devel­opment of our members. The more closely we weave our own design into the pattern of the educational program, the greater the good that will accrue to us on the campus, and once es­tablished there, it will gradually spread until it blots out the present wave of criticism.

"In identifying our objectives with those of the college we need to be on the alert for one thing. The more the mllege recognizes the po' tentialities of fraternity life the greater re­sponsibility will it assume for its proper func­tioning. But we must take the initiative in as­suring the proper functioning of our own or- . ganizations; for that constitutes self govern­ment, which is basic to fraternity life. Else the college will have to step in, as it is already threatening to do at several institutions, and we shall then have regimentation, and our frater­nities will become the tool of education, not its adjunct."

THE MARCH ARROW

From the Fraternity Month "FRATERNITY MAXIMS I"

YON Gel 0111 of FraJernill WhaJ YOII Pili Inlo II

By JOHN O. MOSELEY, :!; A E,

This is the number one maxim of fraternity life. It is obvious and trite but worthy to head the list of this new series of Grulu Say columns because of its universal acceptance and famili­arity.

This fraternity saying was told to me as a pledge. Probably nO pledge has ever failed to hear it in some form many times before he was initiated_ Nevertheless, four aspects of this fun­damental truth are generally neglected in pledge training.

Firsl, what do you expect to get out of Fra­ternity? If you are looking for social prestige, academic ease, political peef erment, residential convenience and sensual enjoyment, you may in­deed find all of them, and yet Fraternity will to you be but a name.

Second, what do you expect to put into Fra­ternity? If you put in conceit, superficiality, snobbishness and intolerance. you are going to get out a very selfish, narrow·minded, dom· ineering, shallow individual. Alas! This is the

President, University of Nevada

phase too often neglected by our pledge train­ers.

Third, you get MORE out than you put iri. This also is seldom fully understood until too late. All of the energy, skill, time and devo­tion given freely in the name of the cause is compounded again and again in the building of a character and personality designed for the achievement of happiness.

FOllrlh. The least understood truth of thls maxim is that if you don't invest what you have, in the end even that which you have will be taken away. Like the fellow in the parable who hid his talent in the ground for fear that he would lose it; you will, if history means any­thing, most likely end up by being no fraternity man at all. Scan your alumni lists to know the fate of the active brother who just belongs. In fraternity too, he who would have his life must first lose it, in order that be might have it again and have it more abundantly.

From One Man's Opinion, Banta's Greek Exchange, April, 1946 By ALVAN W. DUERR

SHOULD FRATERNITIES RELINQ UISH THE RIGHT OF SELECTION?

Attitudes and regulations aimed at racial and religious discrimination, designed originally to be concerned only with employment, are being applied more and more to social relations. Fra~ ternities are thus faced with a delicate prob­lem, which will have to be handled with real tact. so as to steer a straight course between their unquestioned rights and increasingly ar­ticulate opinion.

Let us begin with some definitions. To dis­criminate against means to make an adverse distinction; but as popularly used it is merely the cry that is raised as a last resort by some­one who does not obtain something which, under the circumstances, he had no right to expect. It is always helpful, when the expres­sion is used, to discover which of these defini~ tions applies.

INHERENT PRIVILEGE

It is inherent in a membership organization that it has the rigbt to establish its own rules of eligibility, and admit only those who qualify

under those rules, whether financial, social, geo­grapbical, political, racial, or religiOUS. But on the other hand, the college has an equal and prior right to determine what organizations shaU be allowed to fu nction on the campus. That is why we are in a defensive position. The only way out is the one tbat Lincoln used when he received a complaint that Grant was a whisky adclict: wield such an influence on the campus through developing the social competence of our members, and so being a primary educa­tional force, that nO one will care how we select them, and will be interested only in the brand of whisky that seems to be so effective.

A MIsCONCEPTION

The criticism that fraternities discriminate racially and religiously is founded on a miscon­ception of what constitutes discrimination. The basic need, and therefore right, of successful group-living is personal congeniality. This is a right because men thrive best in a congenial atmosphere, and no one has ever challen,(ted the privilege of the individual to select hIS own friends. Any basic difference in opinion or taste

360 THE MARCH ARROW

or standard-no matter what its nature or source--may destroy this essential atmosphere of congeniality in the chapter house, and so de­stcoy the solidarity of the group and its capacity for constructive influence. This is as true when the division is between playboys and purpose­ful students as whec it is between men of dif­ferent race or different religious belief.

AMERICAN INTOLERANCE

We are not tolerant in this country of people who entertain any type of belief that differs radically from our own. It is not so long since we pilloried atheists, although we were indiffer­ent deists or Christians ourselves . .An unsuccess­ful drive was made to defeat Taft for the presi­dency because he was a Unitarian; one of the ablest and most typical Americans rather re­cectly was defeated for the presidency on the score of his religion. Fraternities are not re­sponsible for this spirit of intolerance, but fra­ternity men do inherit these same prejudices, and it is doubtful whether the average chapter is mature enough to control them. And it is this same spirit of intolerance, extended from a dif­ference of belief to a difference of privilege, which lies back of all this agitation about social democracy and alI the charges of discrimioation.

The situation is aggravated. moreover, by a natural tendency, found in every type of organ­ization and business, on the part of people of one persuasion or interest, when elected to membership, to want to bring in others of similar persuasion or interest. And not on the score that they meet the qualifications for mem­bership in the organization, but herause of their extraneous tie with the proposed randidates. In the chapter, that leads to division, and such divisions have wrecked many a chapter. To avoid that is not discrimination; it is a realistic and sensible approach to the task of buildin~ a congenial membership, securing its solidantyt and assuring some promise of constructive use­fulness.

To take extreme examples, what would have happeoed late in 1941 to a chapter which had a number of nazi sympathizers in it, or to a California chapter with a goodly number of Japanese? That problem was not solved suc­cessfully even by our government, nor by most of our mature men and women; what right have we to expect young boys and girls to solve it?

COLLEGE YOUTH Is DEMOCRATIC

To attempt to force this issue of religious and racial intolerance on the college campos is a serious mistake, for two reasoos: First, college youth does not lead or mold public opinion in

this country. That is one of the weaknesses of our educational setup. that ours is the only im­portant country in which great youth move­ments have not sprung from the colleges and universities. Secondly, the colleges do not ex· ercise moral and social leadershi p even in their own communities, but are all too prone to fol· low the lead of their clientele. Consequently, to use the fraternities as a guinea pig for a social experiment for which they have no means of securing support in its many ramifications be· yond the campus wiIJ meet with little success, even though no invasion of rights were in· volved. This is particularly true in the section of the country where our most serious problem of discrimination arises.

College youth is democratic, as is all youth. But neither can be made more democratic by nat, nor by confusing democracy with con· geniality, nOr by calling the right to choose one's own friends discrimination. Let us as· sume that someone succeeds in making a so­rority initiate a colored girl, what will have been acco/llplished? A whirl·wind of resent· ment and a deepened prejudice in groups which no one has yet prepared to take a broad view of human worth . .And where does the girl stand with these same groups? Isn't her membership going to bring her more hurts than pleasure in the years to come? Is that going to help any­one or any cause? Wouldn't refusing to initiate her be the greater kindness? It is tragic, but people are often cruel in their thoughtlessness, and any remedy must be applied at the source rather than SO late in the process. No wise man would force an issue unless he could control every stage of the procedure.

If fraternity membership is to be used as a vehicle for proving that the American people have been cured of their prejudices and intol· erances, the experiment is doomed to failure, just as prohibition failed to demonstrate that the public had lost its appetite for something stronger than near-beer.

The college's function is to educate, not to regiment or coerce. You cannot legislate morals, and this is a moral question not social; conver­sion is indicated. .And when the college, through precept and practice, has changed the thinking and feeling of alI its component parts -faculty, students, clientele-realistically and justly, the relations between students of alI colors and creeds will gradually adjust them­selves accordingly.

SoME CROOKED THINKING

There are certain rights that we alI have that are inviolable. Among them are the privacy of

THE MARCH ARROW 361

our homes and the choice of our com~on­ship. To construe our enjoying these pnvileges as anything but the free exercise of an inalien· able eight is merely being guilty of crooked thinking. For anyone to try to use this riJtht of ours as a means of securing for himseII a privilege which would otherwise not accrue to him, is unwarranted intrusion. And that is the exact nature of so much of this agitation.

Even so, the college may refuse to allow w to function on its campus, though we exercise only rights that are unchallenged. In the first place, the manner in which we aercise a right may run counter to the prevailing spirit on the campos. We mwt be circumspect and

SOPHOMORE RUSHING

(Mr. Bard'! 1.4/1., 10 Ih. Amh.,!1 G'a4I1Aul Quarterly)

SophOJDore rushing has been tried over and over again. In many institutions ,it bas beeo abandoned, practically always with the approval of the fa.culty and administration. At Dart­mouth, where the system has survived for many years, opinion seems to be divided. It is a fact, however, that under a system which gave fresh­men a year in which to organize themselves, small groups of six to ten would shop from fraternity to fraternity at Dartmouth seeking the best terms for admission of the entire group. The situation became a scandal.

Amherst men may be interested to know that at Williams. where conditions are similar to those at Amherst, and where a study similar to that at Amherst was made of fraternity condi­tions and criticisms, sophomore rushing was re­cently considered and turned down by the Wil­liams trustees. The grapevine says that only one trustee favored it. Some 32 years ago Williams had experimented with a system of delayed rushing-until Thanksgiving of freshman year. After three years the period was shortened, and after fuether experience again shortened. Re­cently a committee of alumni and faculty, as part of a carefully considered report on student sci­cial conditions at Williams (including a pro­geam for the fraternities) which received IInan;­mOil! approval olh.,w;u, recommended by a divided vote (14 to 10) that rushing be post­poned to sophomore year. But so strong a case

was made out by the minority against the pro­posal that the trustees refused to repeat and ex­tend the earlier experiments. They rejected sophomore rushing. I wish this minority argu­ment-which persuaded the Williams trustees of the invalidity of the recommenclation-might be studied by Amherst men. It exposes the su­perficiality and falsity of many of the claims made for sopbomore rushing which are stated in the May Qllarl.,ly.

Sophomore rushing, like all systems of post­poned rushing, flouts its own professed reason for being. The system is urged in order to al­low the fraternities to become better acquainted with the freshmen, and to allow the freshmen to become better acquainted with the fraterni­ties. But always in the same breath a rode of insulation is set up. Freshman acquaintance is not to be cultivated. Freshmen are to be herded together as much as possible, and association with them by sophomores and upper dassmen is largely interdicted. Oass spirit rs to be culti­vated in freshman year-a spirit which is aSsumed to be wbolly admirable and which, once engendered, i. supposed to persist. The Williams College study cites the ract that at Williams class spirit reached its most frenzied forms during a period of early fraternity rwh­ing, concludes that there is no relationship be­tween the two (a conclusion also reached in studies by the National Interfraternity Con-

362 THE MARCH ARROW

ference), and expresses some skepticism con~ (eming the wholesomeness of excessive class spirit, with its cane rushes, dass rushes, and similar excitements to concentrated class senti­ment. So fae as class spirit is desirable the re­port suggests correct and relevant ways of cultivating it.

You may say that this interdiction of ac­quaintanceship bctween freshmen and the gen­eral student body may he directed against rush­ing only; that is to say, that it is only against bidding and pledging, not the cultivation of good will on either side. The conclusive answer is that the system does not and wili not work. Bootleg rushing and pledging by students and alumni will prevail. It is impossible to draw the line between comradeship and rushing, or be­tween discussion of fraternities (of interest to both parties) and rushing. "Understandings" will he reached and carried out.

At Wisconsin, where the system was on trial, a committee of three alumni and faculty mem­hers, spent a futile year with almost daily dis­cussion of whether particular acts were or were not violations of their rules. This testimony comes from an Amherst alumnus who was a member of the commi ttee.

Off·rushing is generally regarded as undesi r­abie, especially when participated in by alumni. Summer rushing by undergraduates and alumni is in this class. Sophomore rushing will breed extensions of both these methods.

But a fundamental vice of sophomore rush­ing lies not in minor factors, nor in the imper­fection of its working, but in the fact that it sets up a system where the contemptible moral standards of the bootleg era will inevita"ly pre-vail. •

The temptation to violate a rule of law, even though it be a moral obligation, in order to in­dulge a loyalty is one the world is familiar with.

A second fundamental vice in sophomore rushing lies in its disregard of certain principles recognized in the excellent report on Amherst fraternities made in February, 1945, by the Committee 00 Postwar Fraternities. I quote

from that report: "The modern college program seeks the full

development of its students, not only academi· caHy, but physically, morally and socially as well. ... The fraternity is a part of this broad edu­cational program, . . . it should be judged for what it is-one means of satisfying the need and demand of the student for human relations with his fellows on a basis acceptable to him."

Are not these considerations as applicable to the freshmen as to the other classes? Indeed, are not the freshmen in special need of the feel · ing of possessing an anchorage and of "belong­ing"? Are the ephemeral groupings and organi­zations which will undoubtedly seek to spring up among the freshmen in the absence of solider and more traditional affiliations as desirable for them and the college as the established frater· nities with their alumni relationships and na­tional supervision, incomplete and imperfect as the latter may be, and now to he supplemented and fortified at Amherst by college supervi. sion?

Now that the college proposes to interest it· self in the social and mortal development of its students unsatisfactory conditions should dis­appear automatically, without the college going afield in search of arbitrary remedies. If we are to have fraternities--and we should-the col­lege should not seek to repress them with procrustean mayhem; but should help them do a better job, including, and especially in, the freshman year. At two points the fraternity is better than the college. It is the consensus the country over that social and moral conditions in fraternity houses are generally better than in college dormitories. And the fraternities tradi­tionally do put the brakes on freshmen, even when released for upperclassmen. With a steady and persistent external stimulus to wholesome student self-government, which the college now promises, the fraternities should better their performance, including their help in the orien­tation of the freshmen.

366 THE MARCH ARROW

Weavers come in at the side door with woven things which we inspect while checking in. Supplies are given out and orders given for replenishing stock room needs. By appointment, weavers use the warping board in the shop for making their warps. Warps are carefully weighed and recorded to make possible figuring of costs. This is the time and place, too, when new designs are explained to weavers, or in­experienced applicants ace interviewed and started with work.

This department continuaIly checks the thread supply so that production need not be stopped for want of materials.

After they are checked in, woven pieces are tagged with cost and selling price and placed on the stock room shelves, ready for the sales rooms and shipping department. These shelves, incoming orders, and the reaction of the public in the sales rooms, give the cue for further pro­duction.

The business office is the final link in the cycle-close to and with its thumb on the en­tice situation.

The reason for weaving at all determines the kind of weaving one does and the limitations. Our weavers provide our shop with woven pieces. They want to weave rapidly to increase their pay checks. The more streamlined the de­tails, the better the checks. Natu.rally, this makes for efficiency in techniques on their part and throws the responsibility for planning and crea­tive designing to the weaving supervisor.

While the responsibility for rlanning and designing is almost solely that a the weaving supervisor, the weavers learn to appreciate love­ly color combinations through their constant use, and sometimes develop interesting designs on the ends of their warps on whjch they are encouraged to experiment. This becomes an op­portunity for discovering talent.

D esigners who are concerned exclusively with expression have the sky as their limit in choice of materials. Because after all. for them there is complete virtue in making something differ­ent each time they weave. They need not be concerned with limitations encountered in pro­duction. They may gather up interesting bits of aoything whatsoever and weave a beautiful article completely satisfying as the only one of its kind.

As a designer, I must know that my materials will be available in quantity. That is always the control for me. So, often the finished design bas become a more subdued simplified edition of its original conception. Which, of course, may malee it much better.

My own approach is this; I keep in mind what article I must plan. However, for a time

and as far as possible I try to forget the prob­lems of production. Believing that materials make their Own good suggestions. I sit at the loom and have a good time with a variety of threads, particularly those of interesting texture and color. I do not even bother with good selvages because threads must be easily taleen out while trying out different effects. At this stage ideas come with free manipulation of ma­terials. So. in trying out threads and the possi­bilities of the threading of the warp on the loom, I am making many short samples which I cut apart and mount in sample books with loose palles of oale tag.

Quite likely one of these samples already is satisfactory above all others. Then it is the one to use. Otherwise, it may be that parts of two will combine to advantage. Or, perhaps another will be exactly right when simplified .

When color, texture. material are all very satisfactory for the 'article, then the article must be planned correctly to size and shape and a sample made up---<:omplete. While making the sample. production problems such as these must be met:

Is or wil! the material be available in quant­ity ?

Can substitutions be made without sacrific­ing too much of the original appearance?

Have we weavers who will be able to and willing to do this work?

Who will do the necessary stitchery? Has the cost for materials and work been

figured to avoid future complications? Can we expect to use a reasonably good sell­

ing price? Is the new article lovely only in the eyes of

the designer or wil! the public buy? Has each possible detail been planned pre­

vious to production? Weaving for Arrowcraft often involves sev­

eral members of the same family. The warps used by our weavers are always long, usually 66 or 78 yards. Many weavers malee their warps on the warping board furnished at Arrowcraft Shop, bringing one or two people to help. Gen­erally this means that sisters, mother and daugh­ter, or even husbands come to help.

To really be convinced that it is fun and im­portant to weave, one must want to know the skills-namely, preparation of the warp and loom. The reward of independence and con­fidence is won if interest in the final achieve­ment is great enough to gn through the less interesting part of the whole procedure. It is like playing the piaoo, if the preparation has been good the piano playing wiIl be a pleasure.

Having mastered the skills, momentum of interest carries the weaver forward. new de-

signs are created, more articles are completed and this means more cash income to enrich their lives and open the way to higher standards of living.

Miss "Georgie's" Afghan Mrs. Georgia Duffield weaves all the afghans

for Arrowcraft. She also manages the Arrow­craft Shop at the Mountain View Hotel. When she was asked what inspired her to combine the lovely colors and create the beautiful designs she uses, she wrote the following letter to me.

Some years ago, I remember picking up a magazine, and came across an article about the old fashioned crocheted or knitted afghans. The article went on to say, "if you have one tucked away in an old trunk in the attic, bring it out where .t will find its place among other fur· nishings of your Early American home."

The thought came to me-"why not weave one. instead of knitting or crocheting an afghan?" The impulse to do this grew stronger and stronger, until, finally, my hundred year old loom began weaving back and forth threads of color-no pattern, except what came from something inside me-a desire too strong to be controlled, until stripe after stripe, and color after color was born. It was like some living thing-truly a part of me.

I can't explain my feeling for color. I only know it comes from deep down in me some· where-the way I used to feel when I sang my old Southern ballads. I guess you'd call it "Temperament." I must explain that when I was forced to give up my singing, I was driven to lind something to take its pace. So I found the loom and now I put into my weaving the something I used to put into my singing.

The old loom has been discarded, but not forgotten, as it nOw occupies an honored comer

in the old log cabin on the school grounds, which the Pi Phi's use as a museum. In its place in my little Arrowcraft Shop at the Mountain View Hotel, is a beautiful new loom; solid, hand-turned cherry-a gift to me from a friend. The teee from which it was made grew high up in the Great Smokies.

A poem, copied from the "Christian Index" and said to be more than a hundred years old, expresses most beautifully, the way I feel about my weaving:

WOlving, Weaving

Yes. yes. I'm weaving, and each day The threads of life I spin, And be the coloes what they may I must weave them in.

His Jove, alas. l oft forget, When these darlc threads I spin, That cause me grief and pain. but yet, He bids me weave them in.

And so my shuttle swiftly flies With threads of gold and gray. And on I toil, till daylight dies,

And fades in night away.

FROM PI PHI PENS Edited by MARy EUZABETH BARNETTE, Ohio A

.. , ......... "."" .. "." .... " .... " .... ""."." .. " ......... " ... " .... ".,, ........... '" .... ,'"''" ........................................ " ... " ... "''''" ....... , .. ".",, .. ,''',,,.,, ... , Both pen and voice, guided by a keen mind

and a progressive spirit, have been the tools used by Carrie Chapman Catt ·to achieve many

' Iong denied rights for women. By virtue of her successful fight in behalf of the voting· privilege for women in the United States and abroad she has earned the ,gratitude of all

womankind, and for her still continuing fight for world peace she deserves the support of all mankiod. For these reasons and because her birthday, January 9, has been designated as Olapter Loyalty Day for Pi Phis everywhere, it is fitting that this column carry some of her messages.

The firmness of her voice, the erectness of her carriage, and the clarity with which she re­members the l'ast and perceives the require­ments of a peaceful and civilized future belie the eighty-<:ight years for which she was hon­ored at a birthday dinner given for her by the American Association for the United Nations at the Hotel Roosevel~ New Yoel<, in Januaq. Pi Phi allllIl!lr in New York were given a simi­lar opportunity two days later when they eo­tertained her at a tea.

The following statements, which New York's daily newspapers published in extensive articles covering the il.il.UN dinner, indicate the re­sponsibilities which Mrs. Catt believes women should accept along with the rights for which she and others of her generation fought.

She urged the women of the world, "each and every one of them," to become soldiers for peace, declaring that the best way to avert war IS not to be prepared for it, but to oppose war preparation.

Recognizing that this is not an easy task, Mrs. Catt asserted: .. It will be a great, tortuous effort to persuade the masses of people that war should be stopped, that it can be stopped, and that it will be stopped when they are ready for it:'

In a further statement she explained her be­liefs regarding the causes of war, saying:

"Everyone is asking if the United Nations is going to be able to stop war. I think it will not stop war unless something bigger and stronger makes it move faster than it now does.

"There is one cause of war, to my mind, and that is the rivalry and competition in armaments between nations. When one nation goes far enough in armaments and the other is afraid of it, out of the confusion then arising comes wac:'

Pi Phis can well be proud of the bond that joins them to Mrs. Catt, who has distinguished the fraternity by her membership and who has alway! worn her Pi Phi badge whenever she was opening an important convention or association meeting. They can be equally proud of the United Nations scroll which Thomas J. Watson, president of the International Business M.­chines Corporation, presented to her for her devotion to the cause of world 1'<"ce and her efforts on behalf of international cooperation.

And, they can agree with Mrs. Eleanor Roose­veJ~ who in paying tribute to the pioneer suffragist, said:

"I think it is wonderful, Mrs. Catt, that you can look back and feel you have accomplished so much not only for your country but for countries throughout the world. In our hearts, we give you our gratitude and respect and deep admiration ...

light ~ her fraternity sisters that, though viWly actIve In national and international affairs, Mrs. Cart has maintained an unllagging interest in Pi Beta Phi, which was known as I.e. Sororsis when she became a member. To this reporter she expressed her particular satisfaction 1Q the work accomplished by the Settlement School, saying, "1 think the Gatlinburg development has done more than anything else to give Pi Phi the standing it has today."

Indeed, Carrie aapman Catt is a Pi Phi who has given far more than lip service to the fra­ternity's ideals, who in fact has made them an essential part of her life's work.

From an Address by Olga Achtenhagen, Kappa Delta Friendship is an obligation subject. We have heard

in the last f", years the criticism of fraternities. Let us face it. Is it honest? Let us examine it. Is it aimed at our right to form a group? Not jf it is honest criticism, for we have the eight to choose our own friends. It is usually directed at what the group does, or refn-ins fcom doing. It has to do usually with the relationship of one small group to the luAtt community in which it lives. to individuals in that community. It has to do with the cruelty of outdated local rushing systems, with the stupidity of outmoded bell week, with the unforgivable extravagance of a social life that by- its very cost bars ma.ny fcom sharirlR it. It is directed at the snobbishness of the girl who, simply by reason of the pin she wears, feels herseU

lifted above the level of other human beings, 50 far above them that foe her they cease to exist.

If anyone of these things stiU exists upon your campus or in youe group) it is time someone outside the circle questioned the traternity system and pointed a finger in pubJic scorn.

Listen to every wocd of the criticism. Is it honest? Then apply it to your part of Kappa Delta-first of . 11 to yourself. then to your chapter, then to yOUt Panhellenic. Change what needs chan,q:ing. Keep what is worth keeping. And remember that 50 loD,lil: as one group on yow campus deserves the criticism, there is work for you to do. The many are judged by the­few.

Heard at the NIC Conference "Membership for life in an organization
