FratNatioj Top All-M 4 Scholastic averages of fratern. ity members throughout the na. tion's colleges have shown a con sistent rise for the past decadc until they now exceed the all. men's averages on a majority of campuses where fraternities are located. The final figures for the aca demic year, 1961-62, show that the all-fraternity average exceeded the all-men's average in 58.1% of the colleges reporting, according to an analysis just released by the National Interfraternity Con ference. For the academic term ten years previous (1952-53), only 40.7% of the schools reported fraternity averages as being above the all-men's averages. Accompanying the increase in the number of schools with a superior all - fraternity average has been a similar improvement in the nationwide percentage of individual fraternity c h a p t e r a above the all-men's averages. Dur ing 1961-62, 48.8% of all fratern ity chapters reporting were above their respective all-men's aver ages, whereas only 41.9% could show a superior rank ten years earlier. The percentages were based on those chapters from whom com parable data were available, com prising over three-fourths of all fraternity chapters in the United States and Canada. In actual num bers, they were 1,469 chapters out of a total of 3,008 above the all men's averages in 1961-62, com pared with 1,134 chapters out of a total of 2,707 in 1952-53.

Slums, Sexi (Editor's note: This appeared in 1te "Delaware Review," issue of Oct. 25, 1963, and is reprinted ere.) A gap of ten years separates ro Tell It On The Mountain, a ovel that established James Bald rin as a rising American novelist, nd Another Country, one of his itest efforts. In that time Baldwin has des ended from the position of a otential man of letters to a o m m o n polemicist. Another ountry is a maundering tale of exual maladjustment in the slums f New York that has little to do rith the burning issues of racial nequality that are consuming the ation. The book is not totally rithout merit, as Baldwin, a sen itive intellect, feels strongly the hasin of non-communication that xists between Negroes and rhites, and is qualified to write rhat he feels. Howvever, it is not a much what he has to say, 'hich is obviously true, but the tanner in which he chooses to elate it. One wishes he could stop eing a professional Negro and tart being a professional writer. The story of Rufus, the young regro jazz artist who commits aicide, is the most powerful see on of the book and the most epical of Baldwin's great ability. no can feel the torment of the oung man's soul as he wvanders irough the seething streets of arlem, torn by the dilemma of eing a Negro and a man in a hite society that rejects him. lie >uld never feel quite equal, never a sure that he was not being we bake BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARY CAKES WITH 24 HOURS NOTICE $2.00 and up "Serving' SIudtents Sine. 1926 .0. ?

Perhaps the most unusual, was its suggestion for a Pajama Party for the freshman girls in Wade Hampton dormitory. The freshman girls, attired as if preparing for bed, congregated in the lobby of Wade Hampton, where the guidance of the cabinet )f the "Y." Singing, eating, and i general good time prevailed. Phe party lasted from 9:00 'till 11:00. Permission was granted ind the doors of Wade Hampton were locked against all hapless males. It was with concealed amaze nent, that the freshmen beheld .he dignified officers of the "Y.' )ajama clad, standing in line to receive them. The "Y" cabinet stood similarly clad, behind the nany refreshment tables. There ,vere apples, sandwiches, popcorn, ind punch. The singing soon started, with wveryone sitting cross-legged on he floor. Then a small skit was presented by the "Y," which the ,reshmen received enthusiastic illy. The freshmen were then 2alled upon to perform also, which they did readily. It was the "Y's" time to be astonished. In that group were tap-dancers, pianist (both boogie and swing), an accordianist, sing ers, one who played a miniature mouth organ, one inch long, a clever mimick, and finally a girl who sang in Hawaiian. The en tertainment was thoroughly en joyed by all. Mrs. Pender thanked the "Y" for coming over to entertain her freshman girls. The question arose as to who should thank who. rthy Talks Of Sig Ep for young ladies. In closing her speech, Dean Clotworthy left the young men this following bit of advice: "If you want to continue your suc cess, gentlemen, wear those socks tuck in those shirts, and hold those doors for a better, friendlier association."
