Marsha Ballard Reigns As Greek Week Queen
Marsha Ballard, Wichita junior representing Delta Gamma sorority, was named Greek Week Queen last night at the annual Greek Week banquet.
Miss Ballard will reign over the remaining festivities of Greek Week. Her attendants are Janelle Heese, Pender, Neb., junior representing Alpha Omicron Pi, and Carolyn Power, Kansas City senior representing Alpha Phi.
The three finalists were selected by a panel of judges at a tea Tuesday night. Students attending the banquet elected the queen at the banquet in the Kansas Union.
AT 4:30 THIS AFTERNOON Greek Week activities will resume with the All Star East-West fraternity football game on the intramural field. Tomorrow afternoon the chariot race will begin at 1:00, followed by the Greek Relays and the Tug-of-War.
Eight fraternity chapters were recognized by the Greeks at the banquet for receiving awards from their national organization in the past year. Fraternities recognized were Alpha Kappa Lambda, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Chi.
Donald K. Alderson, dean of men and advisor of the Intrafraternity Council, awarded the first place fraternity scholarship trophy for the academic year 1963-64 to Beta Theta Pi at the dinner. The Beta's earned an overall house average of 1.94 during the year. Second place went to Delta Tau Delta with a 1.77 grade point average.
COMMUNISM, THE AMERICAN press and the residence hall system are the three greatest problems facing the Greek system today. William Zerman, executive secretary of Phi Gamma Delta, said in an address to the banquet.
"You are gutless." Zerman said, referring to the fraternity system. "You don't fight."
Zerman told Greeks it is time they woke up or they would find the minority groups making the policies and the Greeks sitting around discussing them with their friends.
The greatest problem of the university today is to act as babysitters, Zerman said.
ZERMAN SAID HE IS aware that there are four per cent fewer men in fraternities than there were four years ago. Only one new chapter has been added to the KU campus since 1957, and many students feel the fraternity system must expand with enrollment, he said.
Zerman told the audience that there are more pledges and more chapters than ever. The Greek system is not dying out, he said.
"Perhaps we are becoming a minority," he said. Becoming a minority should make us stronger. It should make us know what the fraternity means—friendship.
There are pressures today which are unusual, Zerman said. There are Negroes in white fraternities, whites in Negro fraternities and nonorientals in a national Chinese fraternity.
"YOU ARE NOT a mixed-up group but some of the people working with you are mixed up," Zerman said.
Zerman spoke at the Du Bois Society, formed by Communist foreign agents in July. Zerman was briefed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the Du Bois Society last summer.
"I do hope you will seek the truth. Find out for yourself in respect to this tremendous problem we are having in this country," he said.
"You are News whether you want to believe it or not, especially negative news," he said.
ZERMAN ALSO attacked the press and the other media of communication. He said they are only using the bad of the generation, not the good.
Speaking of the fraternity system, Zerman said it has given and will give the kind of environment students need.
Zerman said the residence hall is a fine institution for those not in fraternities. Residence halls are healthy competition for the Greek system, he said.

"We feel like a tenant being evicted," declared Prof. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the Humanities Committee. "Since the Humanities Series began on Oct. 7, 1947, with a standing-room-only crowd to hear Dr. T. V. Smith, Chicago philosopher, speak on 'The Humanities in Modern Life,' the theater of Fraser has been our 'home.' Of the 116 lectures presented in the series, all but seven in the 18 years have been presented if Fraser."
