The administration requires fraternity houses to employ house mothers by next September. Budgets are tight and the $50 monthly pay plus room and board could force closures or higher dues. Proponents cite improved menus, bargaining power, and discipline, while opponents fear crushing costs and space needs.
The document argues against immediate adoption of house mothers and strict chaperone rules. It fears increased social life harming scholarships, questions enforcement, and suggests a meeting of undergraduates and alumni to discuss policy. It notes financial burdens and alumni control of houses and advocates addressing the issue collaboratively.
A ragtag column notes Winnie the Judd's return to headlines with a cheeky take on prison life and past mischief. It mixes playful humor about Pun Company merchandise and light verse about road trips and distant places, ending with a tease for an upcoming theater chapter.
The piece traces how American views of Russia shifted from hostile to cooperative after World War I as the Soviet Union appeared a viable partner for trade. It argues that public opinion follows government actions, not ideology, citing Franco-Russian and Czech events, the rise of the Rome Berlin axis, and Poland as a source of insight into democratic resistance to fascism and Communism.
Campus gossip highlights prom plans and dating intrigues at Tarkington and Westhampton. Reports mention Ann Gwaltney seen with others, Be Parker and Reid Taylor rumored couple, and a dean’s list star now “lonesome.”
Westhampton student letters warn The Collegian to follow clean journalism and avoid personal attacks or sensationalism. The note cites Wrinn on ethical writing and stresses that hurtful, ridiculing, or defamatory content harms individuals and journalistic integrity.
The Westhampton senior class presented Sit n Bull last Saturday. The script was clever and well directed, delivering solid entertainment from opening curtain to a lengthy closing chorus, even if the play itself wasn’t a standout.
