type, active in other areas, while many of the
independents in urban universities are COM
muters and part-time students who are indif-
ferent to campus activities.
"Fraternities contribute the most leaders
and the only organized interest in anything
that goes on at the university" says Richard
Hagen, member of Sigma Nu at George Wash
ingtOn Most of the voters and candidates in
school elections are fraternity or sorority
members, he points out primarily, fraterni-
ties offer students a sense of identity with the
university, Of being something more than an
IBM number"
''The ones who are against fraternitieS
can't understand why people want to be in a
fraternity at GW," says Gerald Bowman of
Delta Tau Delta. "But people from out of town
need it socially to meet sorority girls. Sorority
girls don't normally date nOnfraternity stu
dents"
At American University, the feelings about
fraternitieS are similar
They have 80 per cent of the social life,"
says Bill Jacobs, of Phi Epsilon Phi "It's diff
cult for group of individuals to organize a
party; it's not an easy thing to rent room and
get band"
Mr.. Jacobs says it's unusual for an indie
pendent to be very active in organizations at
American University. Perhaps the independ-
ent is discouraged by the tendency of frater-
nifty members to support their own. "A frater-
nifty man has IS or 20 others from his house be-
hind him when an election comes up"
Mike Puro, another member of Phi Epsilon
Pi, says independents are offered a number of
schoOlsponsOred social activities, such as
homecoming, a spring week end program and
freshmen and sophomore dances. But, he says,
the fraternities offer "a tremendous social
program that is by far better than the schools"
Besides splicing students social life, he
adds, fraternities give students an opportunity
to discuss their studies with their brothers
who are taking the same courses.
Joseph w. Neale, dean of men at AU, ad-
mits that fraternitieS dominate the campus but
says the administration is not unhappy with
them. They can provide situation in which
people with common ideals can find mean
ingful relationship and learn skills Of leader
ship and responsibility" he says.
Charles wilhelm, an AU independent,
says, however, 81 happen to know of twO-thirds
of one pledge class that didn't make its

About That Grave

Before many seasons roll around, the Tyrone
Guthrie theater people going to have to do some-
thing about The Grave. It is all well and good to
have realistic graveyard scenes in a theater where
they actors for doors and windows (hor ex-
ample). But this gravel
Up 10 this time we have seen 1t harbor the
bones of Poor Yorick Fair Opheha, Willie Lowman,
and possibly others who have escaped our memory
What is most disturbing Is not the span Of time
space and personality that The Grave accommodates
but what happens to 1t in between. There it is closed
up, to be sure but with its rectangular outline
clearly showing, in the floor of the stage when the
Miser circles the stage making long at his
audience. There 1t Is while the Sisters Prozoroll
talk and talk about selfimprovement Sometimes
the way characters walk 1t amounts almost to
desecration. We seem to recall that Hamlet slew
Laertes right top of IT!
Sometimes, watching the plays of other times
and other people we half expect to see Ophelia's
ghost rising out Of that rectangle on the stage.
That's what realism does to you. If they want 10 be
realistic, can't they just borrow corpse for on
stage and pretend the burial vault is somewhere
else

Violence Gains Nothing
OF Lasting Value

Those Negro and white citizens VINO counsel
that embattled Negroes in any part of the nation
meet violence with violence are on poor ground
Most OF the tremendous progress which has been
made in what Is now accepted the new Revolution
has come from non-vdolent action by Negroes and
their white supporters
Though we can wen understand the Illustrations
produced often by the non-violent technique we also
know that such conduct requires more bold indiv4d-
ual courage than returning blow for blow in violent
conflict The history of the world, and its wars is
plenty Of evidence physical violence has never set
tied a problem.
!. The strength Of the American Negro and his
white friends still is in the non-violent technique
Those who urge its abandonment because of the
frdghtful cost 1t has been to many, do not realize
tat the great awakening Of that portion of the ma
tority group who were not before concerned are
aligned IN the civil rights struggle has come from
admiration OF those Negroes who have taken 50
much Violence in pursuit of their freedom, from
those who seek 10 deny 1t.

DRY POINTS
BY FRED GRAM

The radio and TV huclsters OF
the region have begun a campaign
to spoil Indian Summer. They are
b allyhooing it as "Colorama
Time"
Fact, in Alabama, Is sick-sdck-
sicker than fiction.
And now they've got different
style hair get-ups for women for
different occasions. Some that
we've seen recently were dearly
headed for a Pop-Art show.
We all agree that the Veterans
Administration was justified In
giving Governor Wallace a partial
disability pension for psycho-neur-
osis. But only 10 per cent???

sion for a man to remind himself

states in question define the lines
they are drawing.
The raciSts are now making a
big thing out of the fact that two
students from the University Of
Georgia, one white and one Negro,
have recently married.
David Lawrence, an extremist of
extremists, has become hysterical
and incoherent on the subject. He
wrote, in his September syndicat-
ed column, printed in the Duluth
TRIBUNE: Fears Of many white
people that integration in the pub
lie schools or ait eating places or
in apartment houses might lead to
intermar1iage were confirmed
by the news that the first Negro
girl TO enter and be graduated
from the University Of Georgia has
disclosed her marriage to a white
southern student whom she met on
the campus.
All this proceeded, Lawrence
points out, from the evils OF al
lowing Negroes to study at the
University, to eat in the same
restaurant as whites 1.-THE two met
at a campus eating place. to go
to the movies, and such priv
ileges."
OF course Negroes have been at
tending schools and colleges out
side the deep south for as long as
we have been a nation. Negroes
have associated with white people
on equal terms for the same length
of time. Not all, to be sure, and
sometimes not many; but that is
beside the point. Occasionally Ne
groes have married white persons.
Undoubtedly they will continue to
do 50, occasionally. Whether we
approve or disapprove, there is
little we can do about it; but it
should be pointed out that the re-
suits, after 200 years or so of
mixing the races" have been less
than disastrous.
The hysterical Mr.. Lawrence and
his fellow Mysteries need to get a
little perspective on this matter

Common Sense
About InfermaTriase;
One Readers View

Common Sense
About Intermarriass;
One Readers View
One Of the bug'aboos continuous
ly raised by the opponents of civil
rights is that equality for Negroes
win lead to intermarriage and
what some Southern racists call
the "mongrehzation Of the race. "
There are three general answers
to this. First, neither Negroes as a
group nor whites as a group are
very much in favor Of such mar
riages. They tend TO disapprove in
termarriage and discourage it.
There is some sociological backing
for this attitude, since 1t has been
found that marriages tend to be
more successful, or at least more
enduring, between partners Of sim
liar cultural and social back
grounds, though such a rule is sub
ject to all kinds Of exceptions.
The second answer Is that in
termarrIage has already taken
place on a vast scale, 50 that there
are few If any Negroes Of pure
African ancestry in this country.
Indeed, there are no definable
races" of mankind anywhere. The
genetic characteristics are so
mixed up that it is impossible to
define any set of characteristics
as identifying a specific ethnic
group. So the question of keeping
the races" separate, distinct and
pure" was answered a long time
ago, and the answer is that you
can't.
The third answer Is that the
matter Of selecting marital part
ner is a highly personal and priv
ate thing. This is free country.
There is nothing you can do about
the couple who choose to marry in
the face Of whatever social pres
sures may be operating. Some
southern states have, to be sure,
endeavored to legislate against in
termarrfage, but such ban is as
strong a barrier as a state line.
Moreover, it would be most inter-
esting TO put such laws to the test
of common sense by making the
