| According to the Wichita Beacon high
school ''frats'' are f1ourishing in the high
school of that city, and the principal
takes no steps to put them out of ex-
istence. Under this system" says the
| Beacon, '-the high school 'frats' are
in the high school constructively speak
| ing only. Members are not supposed
to speak of fraternity topics while in
| the high school building. The pledging
| of new frat members is supposed to
/ take place outside of the school. AS
long as the fraternities do not conflict
with school work and politics they will
be ignored entirely by the principal.
