High School Froternity Life

With all the to-do over the fraternity
stag party (whose films seem to be
entertaining an unusually large number
Of adult maleO maybe we parents
should be little more realistic and
find out why the fraternities and sorori-
ties have such hold over our children
and what part they play in school life.
We might review q day in one Of the
big public high schools.
Fraternity and sorority members ar
rive in the morning and rush straight
to the meeting spots Of their crowds.
Such spots are by certain windows, at
hall ends and 50 forth. Non-memberS
push through this set Of cliques every
day, some come at the last minute to
avoid the trip past the superior groups.
Every morning the goats" precede the
members at the meeting places. They
are there early to run errands, put books
in lockers, and occasionally hand over
homework prepared for members. All
this unofi1cial meeting Is obvious to
any one. Non-members definitely do
not stand in the halls with the or
ganized groups.
Coating" continues throughout the
day. usually not conspicuously but
known to all. Chances are sold. invita-
tions are given, and various other club
activities carried on-not necessarily
noisily-but with no effort at conceal
ment.
The cafeteria Is a real scene Of con-
troll by secret societies. Every club has
its own table where any non-member is
,kaHA - A. IA
there unless specifically invited. The
non-members usually sit at less deSir-
able tables. The only way to avoid this
segregation Is not to eat in the school
cafeteria.
An assembly program In the audi
torium presents q similar picture. The
same groups seen in the cafeteria also
reserve blocks Of seats. In the school
my child attends the principal an
nounced in the fall that seniors would
sit In the front, juniors next, with
sophomores in the rear. However, since
the first assembly, seating has been by
fraternity and sorority groups, followed
by non-members regardless Of grades.
The seating at an athletic game fol-
lows the same pattern, with seats held
by the same groups.
Parents should not be blamed for too
much indulgence when they give per-
mission for their children to join. The
evils Of the system are obvious and as
bad for those in the groups as those
outside. It takes strong boy or girl to
face this set-up all day at school. 1t
also takes q strong parent to tell his
child he must spend his school hours
watching the others operate this system
while he looks on from the outside. For
those parents and pupils who have that
courage: my profound admiration.

that he gives no cognizance to the
division, Of powers Of the executive.

A Truce Is Not a Peace

With the Communists agreeing to speedy
exchange of all sick and wounded war prisoners,
the outlook for a near-future Korean truce
nov appears to be far brighter than at any
time since the suspension of the Panmunjom
talks last October. Though trouble may develop
over the Red offer of only 600 POWs, there is
ground for moderate optimism not only because
the enemy seems to have accepted the prin-
ciple of voluntary repatriation, but also
because the new regime in the Kremlin has
shown evidence of real desire to put an end to
the shooting. So an armistice, after almost
three years of fighting and dying, may become
a reality within matter OF weeks.
Heartening as it is, however, this prospect
ought not to lead any American into thinking
the wishful thought that the day may be near
at hand when all our forces will be withdrawn
from Korea. AS President Eisenhower has
Just cautioned, "our men and those Of our
allies will have to stay in that region quite
while" after truce is agreed upon-assuming
that it will be agreed upon, as seems likely.
This is so because an armistice is not the same
thing as a peace settlement It brings hostil1-
ties to a halt, but it does not establish the
long-term political, military and other guar
antees that are needed to effect def1nitive,
formal end to warfare. Troops, though not
shooting at each other, must stand guard
meanwhile.
Accordingly, even with truce worked out
and firmly established in Korea, long time
many months may have to pass before either
our American or allied United Nations units
will be able to withdraw on large scale. The
date of such a withdrawal will be dependent
on how soon, or late, agreement can be had on
ironclad conditions that will guarantee against
a renewal of Red aggression and open the way
for decent peace under which the country will
be safe from being dragged behind the Iron
Curtain Until that stage is reached, our U. N.
forces will have to remain on the alert over
there in period of inaction that could impose
a severe test on morale.
This morale factor apparently looms large
in President Eisenhower's mind. AS he has
said, it may be ''really tough" in the hoped-for
truce period to keep before the American soldier
"the conception of stern duty and expect him
to forget his grouses and his gripes and his
disappointment in being so far from home"
Any optimism over the Korean outlook must
be tempered accordingly.

Those residents Of Montgomery
County who currently are sore at the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission because Of its
belated plans to put highway right
through their neighborhood. or because
of its violent resistance to any sugges-
ton that we taxpayers ought to have
something to say as to how 1t spends
our money, are going to be even more
enraged in the near future when the
commission comes into their develop
ment and starts to change all the house
numbers and possibly the street names.
If it hasn't already happened, it will
happen and it will be perfectlyt legal
and we won't have the right to do one
single thing about it.
It is all duly set out in the Maryland
Code (1950 Edition., section .128-15.
and supposedly is designed in the in
terest of greater uniformity. So that the
police and fire departments won't have
so much trouble responding to given
address. However, and here Is where
the rub comes in, when they have fin
islned revamping the whole system in
your particular area, the new numbers
will not contribute much help to any
one. If you don't believe this, just ask
any Of the 800 or more residents Of
Edgemoor who have been through this
ordeal. Ask them what they think OF
this so-called uniformity, and whether
or not the new system is actually going
to be help to the police and fire de-
partmentS. This business of trying to
apply the District of Columbia grid
system" to a suburban area with its
winding and curving roads is just un-
called for. It's a wonderful idea in
theory, but as matter of practical ap-
there will have to be numerous excep-
tions to the grid system because OF the
manner in which the streets are already
laid out, 1t just doesn't make good sense.
The Park and Planning Commission has
gotten the population SO mad that it
will take years to dispel the Ill will
which has been generated.
Maybe I'm funny, but like my street
number and the name Of my street.
It has a certain charm to me-: and
am burned up that they are subject to
change in the near future, as we have
been notified. In addition, think Of
all the time, trouble and expense that
is involved in notifying people Of such
a change. Our little development.
Maplewood, mind you, hasn't street
in it over three blocks long, and none
of which go directly east and west, or
directly north and south. And we have
only one entrance into the entire area
of $50 homes. Yet we are going to be
remembered to At into the grid system
of the Greater MetrODolitan Areal
It's another beautiful example Of
how law gets passed down in Annapo-
lis by the State Legislature which no
body knows about or cares about until
it hits them right between the eyes.
And then 1t is too late to do anything
about 1t. This law is delegation Of

Federated Europe

The way to fan doubt and distrust
within the Soviet dictatorship, which
Stalin's death has brought to a peak,
is for the United States to call an At
lanic convention to explore the possi-
bility Of forming Federal union along
the lines Of the United States as Sena-
tor Kefauver and many others in Con-
greSS urge.
In Eastern Europe the calling Of an
Atlantic Federal Convention would have
an especially disruptive effect on the
Soviet dictatorship. This is particu-
larly true of Czechoslovakia, Poland,
East Germany and Hungary. All these
peoples have close ties with the West:
many families in them are linked by
emigrantS with the United States
They have little faith in alliances; they
have too often seen them fail to- pre-
vent war, suffered too much from them.
That is why NATO has captured no
ones imagination in Europe. But the
United States itself still means strength,
freedom. equality, high standard of
living, to Europe's common people,
especially those behind the Iron Cur
tain.
Though he had never been to the
United States, Stain himself knew of
it's unique magnetic appeal to Eastern
Europe. When it's nations were under
Hitler instead of the Kremlin, he sent
