One of the most illustrative recent events, both of left-wing philosophy and of the so-called "liberal" system of ethics, was the resignation of Louis Budenz as editor of the Daily Worker, communist mouthpiece in the United States.
Budenz resigned because he came to believe communism was inhuman, un-Christian, and un-American. But after he resigned from the communist organ, he joined the Roman Catholic church and accepted a position as a teacher of economics at Notre Dame university.

It may well be hoped that discovery of these attributes of a system with which Budenz had familiarized himself for nearly twenty years might serve as an example to some of the young extremists on university campuses. That, however, is a pretty large hope!
A second aspect of the case which would be more edifying if it were not so ludicrous is the reaction of the Daily Worker after the resignation. Now, it appears, Budenz has been, all the time, an enemy of labor, a Trotskyite, a stooge of the "gigantic monopoly corporations."

Tolerance, If . . .
This treatment is only a fair example of the freedom of opinion and expression which might be expected to prevail under the sort of governmental and economic system envisioned by the communists.
When sororites come to recognize this multiple identity and work with it in mind, the whole sorority system will stop rocking from public criticism and settle back as a firmly established phase of worthwhile University life.
Although sorority groups have been thrown together this year in a join or die movement to combat Independent political action, it is doubtful that their union will prove either happy or profitable unless there is a change in the working of the average Greek mind.
But if sorority women fail to realize that their interests lie together, if they continue on the ways of feuds and rivalries, the sorority system will not live.-M.M.
'Social' Sororities
The tendency on this campus is and always has been for a Greek group to avoid any intimate contact with another Greek group. Their members are friends, they double-date, they have exchange dinners, but when it comes to touching the things personal to the success or failure of their chapter life, they maintain a guarded silence. Rather than admit a fault and find correction, they hide it.
This is fundamentally wrong. Hiding the problems of one sorority from all others is no more sensible than hiding the right hand from the left. Sorroty women have everything in common. No matter how much "product differentiation" they try to establish, they all stand basically for the same things. They are all working for the same ideals of achievement, and congenial living.
Rock Chalk Talk
She should get "In the Huddle"—LeRoy Robison called Eileen O'Contrar at the Theta house one night last week to make arrangements for a Saturday date following the game. "Leen came back with, "Oh, are you going to Wichita for the game, too?"

Floor show—The Phi Delt and Beta tables at the Wichita Blue Moon Saturday night boasted a bunch of baritones and their beauties. When the evening's entertainment began to lag a little, it was this mixed (up) chorus which rendered a group of the rousing songs and yells of their "alma mommy" to pep things up (hm).
Note to the Chamber of Commerce —When the band went to Wichita for the weekend (which began at 4 a.m. Friday for them), they passed through Newton, the home of Johnny Beach. Members of the Beach band asked the bus driver to slow down while they sighed, "Look, there's the drug store where Johnny Beach bought his cokes—That's the street where Johnny Beach lives—That's the theater where Johnny Beach went to the movies—and (best of all)—That's the fire station where Johnny Beach's dad played poker."

Anything to be obliging—From a choice bit in the society column of a Wichita Sunday paper it may be seen that "Miss Mary Margaret Morris gave a charming supper party honoring the sorority sisters of her friend, Miss Martha Laffer."
And when the weekend was over, Mary Margaret, Kappa, came back to the Kappa house along with Marty and all the other Kappa's.
might be heard more clearly in all parts of the city.
What—no Pi Phi's—Once upon a time the social chairman of a certain sorority called to make arrangements for an hour dance with PT-7. Accordingly, she asked to speak to the APO (dorm dictator). The sly salt who came to the call, however, proved to be the house detective and he wasn't going to leave the line without an investigation.

"Maybe it's that little southern girl from the Chi O house—Dixie Gilland—"
"Is this Miss Margaret Logan?"
"No."
"No."
"Could it be the Kappa house?"
"Should it be?"
"I guess I'll just have to listen on the other line."

You, Too, Can Still Become a Soldier
Washington. (UP)—You, too, can still be a soldier, and if you are a healthy male between 18 and 26 you can almost count on it.
Chances of occupational deferment are now slim, although some top appeals officials here describe themselves as "deferment conscious."

Selective service does know the war is over, all right, but says the duration isn't. So draft boards will induct 50,000 men this month and many more each month until Congress or the army and navy decree otherwise.

This may come as a surprise to people who thought V-J day wound up the war. Compared with the draft's five-year average of 160,000 men a month, current calls aren't big. But the age range, slashed by presidential order after V-J day, is narrower.

Youngsters turning 18 will take care of half this quota. The rest will come from men not yet 26 who previously have been deferred.
If you're under 26 and have children, your draft board will give you "preference." That means you get the call anyway if there are not plenty of non-fathers to fill it.
