10 Aver Evils Of EraternltIes.

To Avert Evils OF Fraternities.
1t is not thought that any action
will be taken by the coming legisla-
ture in regard to fraternities at the
University of Wisconsin inasmuch as
it is expected that the faculty investi-
eating committee will make favor.
able report to that body
Through the cooperation OF the
committee, the fraternities have
agreed to assist in the gradual eradi-
cation of some of the evils which are
now laid at the doors of the Greek
letter houses
The interfraternity council, com.
ty-one fraternities with chapters al

laid down by the faculty committee
which are as follows:
To discontinue the pledging of high
school students.
rushing" until two weeks after the
opening of the university.
To discontinue initiating any stu
dents except those who have been
here one year.
Some of the fraternities were op-
posed to the adoption of the plan, but
they were in the minority and finally
voted with the others to accept it.
1t is not expected that the plan will
be initiated until 1912 or possibly a
year later. it being thought inadVisa-
BILE to put them into force at the
present, because of the fact that the
barring of freshmen would mean a
hardship in the matter of finances
necessary for the operation of fra
ternity houses, many of which have
been built in recent years.
The fraternities have also agreed to
plan for making them more demo.
cratic. 1t is well known that at Wis
consin the Greek letter organizations
are more democratic than they are at
almost any other institution in the
country.
The faculty of the university met
and heard the report of the commit
tee, but no statement was given out
as to the action taken in the matter

Fall Down In Geography.

A woeful lack of knowledge of Uni
versity of Wisconsin freshmen in
even the most rudimentary facts in
geography is revealed by recent tests
given by the department of geology to
members of classes in photography.
Many students did not know where
Nashville, Atlanta, Scranton, Mem
phis and Mobile were. Others had
vague conceptions of the location of
Vienna, Athens, Moscow, Bombay,
Shanghai and Melbourne, while still
others could not even approximately
tell where some of the largest rivers
in the world are.
One of the students insisted that
the Rhine was in Asia and the
Euphrates in South America. Mem
bers of the department of geology de-
clare that the secondary schools Of
Wisconsin and other cities are not de-
voting enough time to instruction in
geography.
