SUCCESS
The Reporter-News has received
an open letter to the community
signed by the presidents of nine
sororities and fraternities whose
members are boys and girls of high
school age
The citv school board has received
a petition from Parent-Teacher as-
sociations of the two junior high)
schools and the senior high schools
asking that such organizations be
banned The board had approved
the principles of the resolution sub-
mitted and has announced It will
act in May on the form of a pledge
that all students will be required to
sign when they enter senior high
school next fall.
The signers of the letter and their
without much cost to the individ-
organizations are:
Patsy Lankford, Tri D; Boo
Whetstone Double A: Gus Vletas.
Khoda Deru: Jody Powers, Lambda
Beta. Bill Biggerstaff, Sigma Phi
Omega: Bettye Gustafson, Semper
Sorosis: Jack Luther Phi Sigma
Chi: Dorman Akin. Delta Sigma:
Betty Rothwell, Alpha Sigma Chi.
“Sororities and fraternities are
being banished from Abilene high
school on the charge of being un-
democratic. If you read the an-
nouncement in Thursday morning a
paper about the petition which was
signed to banish the clubs you no-
ticed a sentence which read as fol-
lows “Reports of the meeting first
uals.
“About three years ago an inter-
fraternity-sorority council was or-
ganised in order to co-operate more
closely with the school and meet
its demands. It was agreed that
there should be no pledging at
school and that sororities and fra-
ternities should be entirely separate
from and have nothing whatsoever
to do with the school We have kept
this agreement, and we feel that it
is unfair for the school to interfere
with our affairs as long as we keep
up our school work and conduct
ourselves in an orderly manner.
We of the sororities and fra-
ternities have two choices; one is to
give up our clubs and social life and •
please the people opposed to them |
and please the school board: the
other is to retain these things we
enjoy and give up all activities in
school such as class offices, pep
squad, football team membership. T
glee club, all contests and other
school events. Neither of these we I
consider democratic or fair, and
ask the people of Abilene who are
interested in their youth to alter |
from the Bible.
Mr. Lum, native of Ohio and
graduate in architecture from the
Ohio State university, went to the |
stage after appearing in a college
production of Hamlet. From grad-
uation he joined the company of the
famous tragedian, Frederick Warde,
appearing in virtually all juvenilei

of McMurry college, officials of the
school announced last night
In the program he will portray
roles
He traveled in various companies 1
thereafter, going to London to ap-
pear with Mrs James Brown Pot- 1
ter and Kyrle Bellew in the Prince 1
of Wales theater. Returning to the
United States, he played supporting |
roles to Ethel Barrymore in Cap-
tain Jinks of the Horse Marines.
Henrietta Crosman in As You Like |
It, Nance O’Nell, Jane Cowl in Lilac |
Time, and to other stars.
He later played from coast to
coast in Shakespearean leads, aban-
doning the legitimate stage after be-
ing requested at Mt Union college 1
to offer numerous characters. He
developed his Great Moments of the
Classics and has since produced
them with major success.
McMurry officials say they feel
; fortunate in being able to bring
Mr. Lum to Abilene.

were heard from PTA members, who
said that the school board had
asked that no publicity be given the
deliberations." This itself violates
the very principles of democracy as
the parents of every high school
child should have been given an op-
portunity to voice their opinion in
this matter.
The youth of Abilene has been
falsely accused of things not fit to
print in this paper The people in
this city who lack faith enough in
the young people ( Abilene to be-
lieve that they are honest and clean
and their clubs are forms of clean
amusement, are responsible for
whatever misunderstanding and mis-
behavior which results from this
action.
“These clubs are old traditions
and are priceless to all the mem-
bers who have made lasting iriend- |

“It is insulting to these members
when it is insinuated that they are
undemocratic, a mad influence, and
the root of all the trouble which
occurs Boys and girls in fraterni-
ties and sororities are no worse be-
haved than those who are not In
fact they might be better behaved
for they have the clubs’ names to
uphold and more Activities to keep,
them out of trouble.
“Since the war has begun these
groups have aided the war effort by
volunteer hospital work, bond and
stamp sales Red Cross fund drive,
bondage rolling visiting the army
hospitals, canteen work, and they
are planning to assist in the sort-
ing of the old clothes in this spring's
clothes drive. This valuable work
should not be overlooked and it is
certain that this much could not
have been accomplished by boys and
girls who were really bad or trouble
makers, as some seem to think. By
being organized much more has
been accomplished than would have
been possible working as individuals
“As school dances are not permit-
ted in Abilene, sorority and fra-
ternity socials are the best means
of having good dances and parties
