Greek Banquet Hears Satire, No Scholarship
There was a Greek scholarship banquet last night.
There was little said about scholarship.
Beta's Highest
Instead, members of Greek organizations leaned back in their chairs, pondered, then chuckled over the remarks of Gerhard H. W. Zuther, instructor of English. Mr. Zuther tossed darts of satire at "Americanisms."
Five house scholarship trophies and one individual award were presented before Mr. Zuther's speech began.
In the men's division, Beta Theta Pi fraternity took honors for having the highest house grade point average and the pledge class with the highest average. Delta Sigma Phi men were awarded the Most Improved Scholarship trophy.
Pi Beta Phi women received Highest Scholarship award in the sorority competition. Chi Omega women had the most improved scholarship this year over last year.
Lawrence Sluss, Kansas City, Mo. freshman and member of Kappa Sigma fraternity received a plaque and a $250 stipend for high scholarship.
The Beta's last semester scored a 1.94 grade point average. The Pi Beta Phi women came up with a 1.96 average as a house.
The Chi Omega women last semester had a 1.92 house average. The Delta Sigma Phi fraternity rose from the 18th rank last year to the eighth spot this year.
Then came Mr. Zuther's talk against Americanism.
Donald Alderson, dean of men, presented the awards.
Not much escaped the joking attack of the speaker, a former member of a German fraternity.
BIG TROPHY—Two members of Delta Sigma Phi stand beside the trophy presented to the fraternity last night for the most improved scholarship among fraternities. They are John Olson, Raytown, Mo., senior, left, and Dan Felger, Mishawaka, Ind., junior. Chi Omega won the trophy for most improved scholarship among sororites while Beta Theta Pi and Pi Beta Phi had the highest grade point averages of the fraternities and sororities, respectively.
Feminine Intuition Hit
He hit American womanhood hardest of all.
He said:
"Women inspire us to great things and then keep us from doing them.
"We men think and carry on knowledge for generations until women come along and crush it with a thousand years of intuition," he added.
Mr. Zuther said he had apologized to his wife before he began. She sat next to him.
Committees Do Nothing
Mr. Zuther said this concerning about what he called conformity in America:
"When all people think alike no one thinks much at all. A good example of this is a committee.
"A committee is a group of people who singly can do nothing, and in a group decide that nothing can be done."
He repeatedly warned the faculty and Greeks "not to take his talk too seriously."

Exchange Dinners Tonight Among Fraternities, Sororities
An exchange dinner between members of Greek houses, the first of its kind, has been scheduled for tonight.
Five members from each house will visit different houses this evening, said Ronald Dalby, Joplin, Mo., junior and chairman of Greek Week activities.
"The purpose of this exchange dinner is to promote better understanding and overall relations among Greeks," Dalby said.
Women to Men's Houses
Dalby's plan calls for exchanges between members of sororities and fraternities. Members of the larger Greek houses are also scheduled to visit smaller houses.
A master plan is being worked
out by Rebecca Myers, Salina sophomore, and Darrel Sligar, Kansas City sophomore.
More Men than Women Dalby said:

Proceeds of the fashion show will be used as a scholarship for a Kansas girl.
"We want to do this on a geographical basis as well as a relative size basis," he added.
Dr. George Smart, director of religious activities at Haskell Institute, will be the guest speaker at the regular vesper services of the Baptist Student Union at 5 p.m. tomorrow in Danforthe Chapel.
"We hope to have sorority members visit fraternities as much as possible. However, there are only 12 sororites to 28 fraternities so I don't know quite how we'll work out the final plans.
Dalby said that most of the visitors would be officers of the respective houses.
I believe that in the end the truth will conquer.—John Wycliffe
