Alderson Sees Apathy in Rush
(Continued from rage 1.)
"The Greek living groups have much to offer entering students in that their social and activity programs are well coordinated. The Greek system offers freshmen positive orientation into the University's curricular and extra-curricular program for students."
Rushing in High School
The dean stressed that rushing should begin in hometowns with high school boys and should first strive to attract young men to KU.
"Fraternity men need to be concerned with showing high school boys why they should come to KU. After attracting them to the University, they should work to make the young men look favorably toward the whole fraternity system and then should rush the men specifically for their fraternity.
"Part of attracting men to the fraternity system would mean clearing up misconceptions some have by explaining that in no case must one have to be a member of a wealthy family just to belong to a Greek group. Many fellows in fraternities have to work every semester to stay in school."
Dean Alderson stated that the new dormitories, Joseph R. Pearson and Templin Halls, definitely had hindered fraternities' success in getting pledges last fall, and that dormitories offered a challenge to fraternity men to rush harder.
If Mencken were alive today he wouldn't even be published in the letters to the editor column.—James Wrightson.
'Good Soldier' Called Great Modern Tragedy
John A. Meixner, instructor of English, termed Ford Madox Ford's novel, "The Good Soldier," a "classic rendering of modern tragic outlook" at the Humanities - Forum in the Kansas Union last night.
More than 40 persons crowded into the Oread Room to hear Mr. Meixner's hour-and-a-half reading of a section from a book, "The Saddest Story," he is writing about the works of Ford. The section is expected to appear in the spring issue of the Kenyon Review.
Ceiling Collapses At Sorority House
Chi Omega sorority members returned after vacation to find their living room carpet and floor covered by their ceiling.
Sometime during vacation part of the ceiling had collapsed. One member said that it is believed that a water pipe froze and burst, causing the ceiling to fall.
In contrast to Brahms, who produced bad music in the attempt to write greater than he felt, Chopin made a great art of writing small poetic pieces for the piano.—B. H. Haggin.
The carpet and furniture have been removed from the room, and workmen are putting in a new ceiling, a sorority member said.

Mr. Meixner said "The Good Soldier" should be read two or three times to experience the full psychological and emotional impact.
"It's so casual and conversational, that it isn't until you go over it for the second or third time that you notice the control (of Ford's writing)," Mr. Meixner explained in the discussion period following the reading.
He said repeated readings give a new insight in "tone, intellectual subtlety, and feeling."
He pointed out that most of Ford's episodes are completed in less than a page, the scenes last about two pages, and when an episode is finished, its point is left "burning like a brand."
Mr. Meixner said the prose is as "tightly drawn as possible." The irritation a reader experiences is part of Ford's method.
He pointed out that Ford had waited 40 years to put all he knew about writing in one book and that "The Good Soldier" resulted.
Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love. But — why did you kick me downstairs? —John Phillip Kemble

"I had" is a heartache, "I have"
is a fountain. You're worth what
you saved, not the million you made.
—John Eoyle O'reilly
