★ Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
For years K. U. has needed an effective organization for the vast majority of independent students. When sorority and fraternity pledges have settled down after rush week, campus activities are explained to them and they are told how to become part of these activities. They have upperclassmen to whom they may go with any questions that have not been explained. But what about independent freshmen?
Don't they have an I. S. A. you ask. Yes, there is an I. S. A., but it doesn't take care of independents' problems. The organization seems to handle only social affairs. What we want is an independent organization that can remedy these ills.
"Oh——Corbin and Battenfeld and the other dormitories ought to explain——" you say. Well, what about the independents at large? What about those men and women who live in houses where there are only one or two? Aren't they part of the University, too?
An independent organization can better understand housing conditions of independents and take measures to remedy them. It can sponsor parties and recreational activities that would include all independents.
In a letter published in last Thursday's Daily Kansan, it was stated that one of the results of such a move would be the reorganization of the political set-up. Is the political set-up we have now an ideal one? The possible introduction of a new political party on the campus shouldn't cause too much alarm, for a little competition never hurt anyone. Maybe this would wake up some of the political parties into really campaigning for votes instead of counting on the pledge vote or the vote of a particular house to push a candidate into office.
May I quote a statement from last week's letter to the editor—"Democracy is supposedly inherent in the American system" Isn't it a little undemocratic to oppose a movement that would benefit the majority of students? It is selfish to emphasize a minor part of this proposed organization, thus overshadowing the good it could accomplish.
Speaking of democracy, is the fraternity-sorority system particularly exemplary of democratic ideals?

Dear Editor:
Considerable comment has been made by students about the independent group which is being organized on the campus. Some members of the student body claim that such an organization will widen the gap between independents and fraternity-sorority members. Others predict the reorganization of the campus political set-up so that it will become an organized independent-versus-Greek fight.
If the independents want a group of their own, it is their business and should not be interfered with by the remainder of the student body. Whether such an organization would result in widening the gulf between Greeks and independents presents a question. Is there actually a tremendous difference between the two groups? Hasn't this gulf been over-emphasized until it has grown more in our imaginations than in reality?
There are conflicting political groups on our campus as on almost every campus. However, isn't it true that in each of these political groups Greeks and independents work side by side? It certainly is not a case of Greeks versus independents, but rather one of Greeks and independents in one party versus Greeks and independents in another party.
As for a reorganization of the campus political set-up, that might be an excellent idea. If a little more time and effort were devoted to obtaining and maintaining better cooperation among the Greeks themselves, rather than among the Greeks and independents, we might have cleaner politics and better results in many ways.-C.S.

Rock Chalk Talk

Call of the Dawn—It was 10 minutes after 2 a.m. when Marian (Mon-key) Montgomery came down the Chi O hall, with intentions of signing the call list and going to bed. She was somewhat surprised when she found there was no call sheet, and it was several minutes before she discovered the even more surprising truth. Sally Houck stumbled from her room, ready to greet the new day, and the two of them waylaid the confused call girls. Pat Rolley, it seems, had awakened, mistaken 2:10 for 7:10, and had done her duty all too well. Ah, for the days when the sun came up at dawn.
** **
Among other activities in the Chi Omega halls might be mentioned the quiet hours disturbance offered recently when Anne Young, to quote the culprit, "was overcome by the urge," poured a full ash tray down the front of Peg Smith.- Sister Peg retaliated by depositing Youngster in the shower, fully dressed. With her hair already wet, Anne proceeded to pour a box of Peg's precious soap chips on her head and go through the motions of washing her hair. From there, other volunteers took over and Anne had her hair washed three times.

O.T. Club Will Feature Five Films at Meeting
Five films will be shown to all occupational therapy students at the meeting of the Occupational Therapy club at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
The He-Man Type — Brothers of brawny Fiji, Wallie Rouse, have long been investigating the he-man's very effective technique with Mary Zeller, Kappa, but the investigation seems to have gone a little too far into detail a few nights ago when a group of Phi Gams plugged in on the muscle-man's conversation to hear, "But Lamble-pie, you know I do."
The films to be shown are “O. T, at Mayo Clinic,” “O. T. Treatment of Arthritis at Mayo Clinic” “O. T. as Prescribed by Physicians.” “Cerebral Palsy and O. T.,” and “Surgical Treatment of Cerebral Palsy”. Students who have not paid their dues will be charged an admission fee. The public is invited to attend

As Proof Goes—And it went pretty far one day last week in T. C. Ryther's History of American Journalism class. The discussion centered around—it is HELena or HELENa. Mont? Came a volunteer:
"My father lived in Montana, and he calls it HELena."
"Well," offered Dody Sulzman, "my father lived in Texas, and he calls it HeLENa."
We'll stick to Topeka.
