If You Are Not Fraternity Man or Woman You Are Says Miss Marion MuIns President of the Kappa Delta

world is full of fraternities. The church IS religious fraternity. Every lodge is fraternity, by which men from all over the state and nation are linked to- gether for mutual pleasure and protec- tion Every woman's club that belongs to state organization by which it has associated interests is a fraternity. The college fraternity is to the college world just what the lodge and club are to the outside world It's purpose is the same; it's motive is the same: it's influence on it's members is the same. And without 1t there would be little or no intercol legiate interest or spirit.
 "The fraternal organization" said Miss Mullins, is not designed to harm the student who cannot or will not join it, any more than the lodge and the church are designed to harm those who remain outside. Oh, but, says somebody, the church is free for everyone to ioin' Why don't everybody join them? Because they do not measure up to the standard Because they don't want to. Because they are not wanted unless they vii. measure up to the requirements. Because they do not realize the advantages the church will be to them. It is the same with the lodge and it is the same with the@ college fraternity. Like the church and the lodge, the college fraternity ere ates loyalty. It has helped more poor DCSS Dy SlNIHB them a SOclal standing they never could have attained alone than it has ruined by snobblshness It has encouraged and held men and women in school until they really made some thing of their lives. who would have dropped out and been lost had it not been for that loyal band of fraternity men and women that thev knew would welcome them back and miss them if they failed to return. It has spotted many homely, homesick boy or girl and recognize within them some thing worth while; something worth help ing, that never would have been dis covered by busy faculty members and different students. IL has helped men to find their place in life and fill it as they never could have done without the development of the fraternity. It gives the stammering, awkward prep, the self conceited freshman and sophomore the advantage of the association of the high CT college men who know how to help them in their dangerous places It is the big brother to the little brother in college. And if there be those who do not for various reasons enter the frater- nities, is that any reason for abolishing the fraternities? It will be just the same when they go back into the big world. Long live the fraternity!''

 IT. this very small world these young men and women live. move and have their being for one, two. three, four, seldom over five or six years. They go there to prepare themselves for greater service and greater usefulness when they go back into the big world from whence they came. They go there to develop their entire nature. that they may be able to see more to develop in others when they go to transmit the, life of this little university world to the big world without. For this very reason the university world should have within it all the different forms of life that the outside world needs and one of the most important of these is the social life What is a home. what is a town, city or community without social life? It is a stupid, old place, that everyone leaves as soon as he can. The outside

WHERE has been so much dissen-
 sion and controversy lately

BHI7TlHERE has been so much dissen-
 sion and controversy lately
 concerning fraternlties-in fact, the anti-fraternity spirit has been so rampant in the land that those of us who are identified with fraternities feel con. strained to make the statement that # you are not q fraternity man or woman you are in no position to judge of the merits of a fraternity"
 Miss Marion Mullins, the president of the Kappa Delta fraternity, which holds its initial session in Birmingham next Monday afternoon when the biennial con- vention of this organization meets here made the foregoing statement concerning fraternities and her association with the work and what they mean in college life
 Miss Mullins is an unusually attractive young woman; tall and slender, with a wealth of dark hair and big brown eyes, she has the poise and the dignity one as- sociates with a person who is leader.
 Miss Mullins is typical college girl, cultured and broad in her views, and with all the sweetness and womanliness which SAioA dClSl4ACS OllS ol LIl6 IIltSl ull0T6SllIS types of the truly American girl of the day.
 Miss Muiins in speaking of the anti fraternity fight which has been waged within the past few years by those who, when all is told, practically know nothing of college fife or fraternity life, said:
 "A man CT woman who does not belong to a fraternity Is in exactly the same position to judge or criticize the value of influence of the college fraternity as the auti-chdrehman is the church, the anti-lodge man is the lodge. They do not know anythIng about it from experience and most ct their opinions are based on hearsay. This statement is made freely because in all our experience we have never heard real live fraternity man or woman finding fault with fraternities.
 Let us ask vital question to begin with" Miss Mullins continued. What is a fraternity, any way? Before we car answer this question. we must get it clear in our minds what college or university it. To us, 1t seems that university is a very small world within very large world. It is so small that only four or five per cent of our young men and young women ever enter there

The trouble at the electric plant
was acute yesterday afternoon and
evening, the lights being shut off half
a dozen times. During one of these
spells the town was in absolute dark
ness for about ten minutes. The oil
engine had been run continuously un-
til it was foul, and there was such a
shortage of wood at the old plant
that for awhile only half the usual
current could be supplied. The old
plant received a supply of wood this
morning, and Mr.. Caldwell says that
in day or two the big steam engine
at the new plant will be running and
ne hopes from then on to give good
service.
