Dear Editor: In presenting the 29-year-old film, "Birth of a Nation," the Student Forums Board meant no injustice to Negroes. It was obvious in its prejudice, and if such a movie cannot be shown to a supposedly intelligent audience composed of University students and faculty members, where can it be shown? Desiring above all things to promote the cause of a working democracy with equality of opportunity to all, the Student Forums Board would be only too happy to show a film portraying the Negro in true circumstances, and probably not this time, as in "Birth of a Nation," directed by the son of a Confederate soldier. The Board felt it its duty to give students this rare opportunity to see the widely discussed, great motion picture. Certainly no student, knowing what he does about the Ku Klux Klan, could honestly cheer the riders on their way, even with the "Poet and Peasant Overture" to create the mood. Help us get the film, Mr. Burton and we'll run it. Jov Miller. Chairman Joy Miller, Chairman Student Forums Board Theta Sigma Phi Initiation Tonight Formal initiation of new members and installation of officers will be held tonight by Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary journalism sorority, which marks the 31st anniversary of the organization on this campus, announced Joy Miller, retiring president. The dinner will be held at 6 o'clock at the Hearth with the formal ceremony taking place there also. Elected as president for the coming year is Ruth Tippin. Other officers to be installed tonight include Jeanne Shoenaker, vice-president; Hanna Hedrick, secretary; Joel Fant, treasurer; Dorothe McGill, keeper of the archives; and Beverly Bohan, publicity chairman.

Rock Chalk Talk By DIXIE GILLILAND "Farce" Is Right—Pi Phi's Freshman Farce Day, celebrated last week, turned out to be a series of backfires from which the freshmen are still recovering. The idea of the annual event is that for one day pledges become acts, and viceversa. And what happened to the "idea" this year is painful history to the beaten pledges. Things began to happen about dinner time, when, with the actives securely tied, the pledges sat down to enjoy a chicken dinner and chocolate cake. But someone must have forgotten that the active Pi Phis are handy with lines, and surprised by a mass attack, the freshmen found themselves sitting on the chapter house steps, with the actives and the meal inside. Undaunted, they pooled what money they had, borrowed two dollars from the Sigma Chis, and enjoyed hamburgers at the Dine-A-Mite. Then, in spite of a downpour, the annual Farce Day serenade began. After frightening—only too literally—eight PTs, the pledges turned their attention to the frats, STUDENTS TO--if the name is written correctly, and preference number is placed to the right in districts where P.R. restrictions are being observed. Boards to Determine Eligibility In case of joint enrollment, board officials will be qualified to decide in which board the student should vote. Students enrolled in the graduate school cannot vote in District III unless they have their degrees, Engle said.

The good clean fun started with the boys giving the Pi Phis a dousing in green paint. Betsy Ewing countered by biving headlong through an open window—she found out later there was a screen on it, and the boys settled the argument by throwing the pledge class in Potter lake.

Beaten at last, the girls headed home, ready to take advantage of an ingenious plan whereby they were to climb the fire escape to the sleeping porch and security, behind a door they had locked from the inside in advance.

"In spite of other unjustified claims, it was a PWCL-PSGL Council which voted originally to give navy men a complete franchise in the coming election, and the parties still support their original stand," said Miss Snoack. "If elected, PWCL-PSGL candidates will stand behind navy participation in all student activities," she promised.
