He-Men Resist
Mother Edict
For Frats
Indiana University Facing
Termination, Greeks
Sigh.

BIZ TimesA Special
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Sept. IA
Fraternity members at Indiana Uni
versity are preparing to resist what
they term threatened "effemlniza.
ton" of the fraternal halls through
installation of a house mother in
each fraternity house.
Not that the frat brothers wish
to conceal Irregularities from femin-
inc eyes. but they resent the spirit
that they believe faculty members
imply in stationing women in their
domiciles.
Its tough enough now to put out
winning teams, when the boys are
besieged by feminine wiles Of co-eds.
without extending the feminine in
fluence right into the dwelling
places themselves, said a promi-
nent Greek"
Sacred Privacy
The opinion also Is held that the
proposed reform would violate the
sacred right of privacy of students
to live their own lives when they're
out of class rooms. The sentiment
is that the house mother might be-
come a link in a chain of espionage
that would end at the office of the
dean of men.
All sororities are chaperoned at
Indiana University now and the pro-
posal has come from faculty sources
TO add "chaperons" for the men or
ganizations. Greek-letter men
promptly went up in the air when
the sad news was broadcast. They
hurled the brass spitoons into the
air, mourned for the sacred right to
scatter ashes on the carpet and that
exquisite privilege OF sleeping in
stead of attending an s a. m. class on
a cold morning. They are allowed a
certain number of cuts" each sem
ester.
POstpOnement
The fraternity men were able to
postpone installation of the system
until opening OF the second semes-
ter in January.
Faculty members have explained
the house mother is not a spy. She
is TO serve as a counselor for the
boys. to give them advice in their
troubles and to shed a glow OF
motherly appeal The ideal house
mother. according to the faculty's
opinion, is a woman about so years
old. who has reared a family and
knows how to guide the steps Of
youths over rough spots on the road
to learning.
But the youth would prefer to
fend for themselves, it appears. They
also object to the overhead" They
contend it would cost several thou
sand dollars to remodel frat houses
to provide separate living quarters
for the house mother, and that the
''upkeep" would also increase living
expenses for the gang.
Fraternity presidents are said to
have received scores Of letters from
applicants for positions as house
mothers since the action has been in
contemplation.
