STATEMENTS BY
DEAN HOCUTT
Fraternity Men At Delaware
Show Up Better Than Do
Fraternity Men in General
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

1T must be recognized and ac-
cepted that in an educational in
stitution, no organization has an
excuse for existing except insofar
as that organization contributes to
the overall educational objectives
of that institution" Dean of Stu
dents John E. Hocutt advises Un-
iversity of Delaware fraternity
men in recent memorandum con-
cerning scholarship.
Dean Hocutt's statements are
based upon a recently completed
survey dealing with the academic
performance of fraternity men
during 1954-55. The results of the
survey have been made available
to fraternity presidents, faculty
advisers, and alumni advisers to
assist them in stimulating better
scholarship, particularly among
residents of the campus fraternity
houses.
Fraternity men as a group at
the University of Delaware show
up to better advantage than do
fraternity men in general over the
country" Dean Hocutt declared,
"but the University is quite dis
turbed by the evidence produced
by this study which indicates that
living in a fraternity house and,
by implication, more active par
ticipation in fraternity affairs, af-
fects scholastic performance ad-
versely. Certainly the fraternities
cannot afford to let conditions i'm
peding scholastic performance go
uncorrected."
Statistics show that only one
fraternity house on the Delaware
campus, Alpha Epsilon Pi, had a
higher proportion of honor stu
dents than failing students among
it's residents. However, all but
three of the nine fraternities had

STATE GUARD
TO STAGE DRIVE
One Day Recruiting Cam
paign To Be Held On
WashingtOn's Birthday
GUARD MUSTER DAY

The Delaware National Guard
will stage a one-day recruiting
campaign on Washington's birth
day, February %, it was learned
this week, when Governor ]. Cal
eb Boggs proclaimed that date as
National Guard Muster Day.
Calling attention to George
Washington's advocacy of a "well
established militia" Gov. Boggs
said that the National Guard is
a "direct-line descendant of the
militia forces of which General
Washington spoke, and best ex-
emplifies the life of that tradition
today"
Governor Boggs urged that the
day be dedicated in recognition of
the National Guard for it's selfless
and heroic services, mot only in
wars of this nation but in times
of flood, fire and other disasters" ;"
He urged general assistance to the
Guard in their recruitment pro-
gram to keep it at the palladium
of our security" as Washington
once envisioned it.
The full proclamation follows:
Whereas, George Washington's
advocacy of a well established
militia" and his statement that
liable bodied young men might
easily be enlisted or drafted to
form a Corps in every state" cap
able of resisting any foreign in
vasion, sustained the spirit of vol
unteer service that had just de-
feated English tyranny and that
since has become the noblest of
American traditions; and
Whereas, the National Guard

militia forces of which General
Washington spoke, best exempli-
fies the life of that tradition to-
day; now

There has been a hustle and
hustle about the Office of the
Smyrna Kent County and Della
ware Bay Traction Company the
past week that indicates business
thrift and energy, and even many
who have been skeptical about the
trolley are beginning to feel that
there is something in it. The
first load of sample ties arrived
last week and were piled up in
front of the trolley headquarters.
Just now the surveying corps is
getting in its work and during the
past week they have been active
in Smyrna and are now pushing
the survey as rapidly as possible
down the state road toward Mil
ford and the Sussex County line.
There is a movement on foot
that may make some decided
changes in this vicinity at the
coming session of the Wilmington
Conference. Townsend, it is un-
derstood desires to become a sta
ton and has raised the pastors
salary to $500. This will leave
Blackbird and Union which has
been on the Townsend Circuit to
be put somewhere else as neither
one of the last two congregations
are able to support a pastor in
the manner that they have been
contributing to in the past. The
first suggestion in the matter was
to place Blackbird and Union on
Smyrna Circuit, but then it was
found that Pastor Chandler al
ready had his hands full in sup
plying Severson's, Friendship and
Jerman Chapel.
Mrs. Jane A. Pittman, sister of
the late DR.. Thomas j. Lambden

most an hour.
Meanwhile, the New York
Times reported from Washington
that official thinking on the ques-
ton of arms for Israel has been
influenced by what was termed
recent evidence that an American
arms grant would be followed by
renewed Soviet shipments to
Egypt. Washington sources, the
report went on, expressed the
belief that the Communist gyp-
tan understanding might be an
"open-ended" one, so that the
Communists would presumably be
willing to pour more arms into
the area so long as Egypt was
willing to pledge more cotton in
exchange.

A Tree For Tomorrow
BY DONALD cULRoss PEATTIE
Clemens koliscner

For to all of us comes loss, in varying de-
gree, whether of opportunity, of endeavor,
of place or possession or person dearly
loved. The emptiness then can be indeed
like the hole in the sky when great tree
falls. Then is the time to set out some sap
ling hope, some new interest, new effort.
True that tall timber needs long time to
grow. But that is why like the words of
old Linnaeus = they are green with faith in
the future.
For it is the dry old sticks that fall in the
winds of change. The plant saplings bend
to the gale and rise again.
The world Linnaeus knew 200 years ago
has altered much; some think the woods
are thinner and that there's rot in much Of
the standing timber. But our sons, think,
are planting well, and their sons, too, will
walk under greening branches.
