Author raps poverty plan
Joyce Wenger admits poverty exists but pleas for individual initiative
A swipe was taken at the Johnson administration's poverty program last night by an author who said she still recognizes the existence of poverty.
"I am critical of the present administration of the War on Poverty Program," said Mrs. Joyce Wenger, co-author of "Pa$$ the Poverty Please." "But I do not deny the existence of poverty.
"I support measures to correct the program because it is a law and I want to see the law work," she said.
Speaking to about 125 persons at the SUA Minority Opinions Forum, she said America will never win the War on Poverty "by destroying the individual initiative of her citizens.
"Let us be done with extravagant expenditures and corrupt influences and with battle plans which humble and degrade," she said, "Lest we become a nation of beggars crying, 'Pass the poverty, please.'"
Mrs. Wenger lashed out at the Job Corps, saying it is "based on the wrong concept."
She said the centers are overstaffed and under-disciplined and noted that workers receive more pay than a private in Viet Nam.
To direct 'Battle Horns'
HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) — Ralph Nelson has been set to direct Universal's "The Battle Horns."
She quoted Sargent Shriver, poverty program director, that the cost per year to train each job corpseman is between $9,000 and $12,500.
Mrs. Wenger, a graduate of
Northwestern University, is vicepresident of the 27,000-member Los Angeles County Federation of Republican Women and a member of the Republican State Central Committee.
Fraternity official sees bright, growing future
A national officer of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity believes the future of fraternal organizations is bright and sees tremendous growth in the next 20 years.
George S. Toll, national secretary of the fraternity, was on campus yesterday to visit the local chapter, 1209 Ohio, and counsel with Donald S. Alderson, dean of men.
"Fraternities have a bright future ahead of them," Toll said. "As their role becomes ever important to the American college campus so does the popularity increase."
AS SPOKESMAN, Toll described the fraternity's purpose this way:
"We strive to provide an atmosphere in which men can realize their academic potential and live in harmony under one roof. It teaches self-discipline, confidence and extends brotherhood to many who don't have it."
He said such organizations attempt to improve the college situation and give men a "home away from home whereby they can find fellowship."
In 1913, Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded. It had only 21 chapters and 4,600 members by 1946. Since then it has grown to include 30,-000 members living in 88 chapters.
"IT'S THIS kind of growth that convinces me fraternities are on the boom," Toll said. "I anticipate a major increase nationally in all fraternities within ten years."
Toll, who is visiting state universities in Kansas and Missouri, said the local chapter, which includes 18 actives and pledges, is planning to build a new house within two years.

Presenting The Drinking Song for Sprites "ROAR, SOFT-DRINK, ROAR!" (To the tune of "Barbara Fritchie")
Traditionally, a lusty, rousing fight song is de rigueur for every worthy cause and institution. But we wrote a song for Sprite anyway. We'd like you to sing it while drinking Sprite, though this may cause some choking and coughing. So what? It's all in good, clean fun. And speaking of good, clean things, what about the taste of Sprite? It's good. It's clean. However, good clean things may not exactly be your idea of jollies. In that case, remember that Sprite is also very refreshing. "Tart and tingling," in fact. And very collegiate. And maybe we'd better quit while we're ahead. So here it is. The Drinking Song For Sprite. And if you can get a group together to sing it--we'd be very surprised.
Roar, soft drink, roar!
You're the loudest soft drink
we ever sawr!
So tart and tingling, they
couldn't keep you quiet:
The perfect drink, guy,
To sit and think by,
Or to bring instant refreshment
To any campus riot! Oooooh--
Roar, soft drink, roar!
Flip your cap, hiss and bubble,
fizz and gush!
Oh we can't think
Of any drink
That we would rather sit with!
Or (if we feel like loitering)
to hang out in the stitr with!
Or sleep through English lit' with!
Roar! Soft drink! Roar!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh, SPRITE!
SPRITE. SO TART AND
TINGLING, WE JUST COULDN'T
KEEP IT QUIET.
