NO PARTISANSHIP 81
IN FRATERNITIES

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
AS an alumnus Of the Eastern High
School and as member Of the Phi
Alpha Epsilon Fraternity at that school,
I wish to deny the charges that have
recently been made concerning the class
elections. 1t has ever been the policy
OF the Phi Alpha Epsilon to interfere
with no ones else business, and to re-
main quiet and unassertive. The fra
ternity has never promised to support
either of the girls sororities In return
for their support at elections. Last
year the president of the class was not
a frat member, and vet he was nomi-
mated by a frat member and supported
by the majority Of the fraternity. II

TOO MANY WOMEN
MARRY MEAL TICKETS

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
An advocate of "woman's rights
complains against the city directory
people because they do not print the
names and occupations of married
women: She classifies wtfehood as an
occupation or means of earning a
livelihood. The directory prints the
names of widows (as II being widow
was an occupation), but ignores the
existence of married women.
The Juvenile Court has clearly dem
onstrated that many women look upon
husbands merely as meal tickets. With
no thought Of love the average woman
angles for the best "provtder."

IL Is because the most popular and de-
sirable boys are members of the fra

girls sororities.
AS DR.. Small said in The Times, "a

frats are mere fiction. The Phi Alpha
