Greek organizations (fraternities and sororities) on the Uni versity of Wisconsin's Madison campus find themselves cur Romans rently in the position experienced by their antecedents in the second century, B.C.�the Romans seem to be taking over. In recent years, the once dominant Greek influence on the at Wisconsin campus has diminished, yet the system still consti tutes an important segment of campus life. This is largely be cause Greek roots are strong at Wisconsin and there is a con stant need to provide today's student with a variety of choices, Madiison things which help overcome some of the impersonality that often describes a large university. Dr. William Boyd, vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of California, Berkeley, has made note of this need and commented on the Greeks' place in today's university. "The student population includes a number of subcultures," Dr. Boyd notes. "An individual student may find his life con tained within a single one or he may move from one to an

other. Perhaps the best known is the Greek subculture . . . This is the fun and games group for whom the gentleman's "C" is a happy compromise of competing demands. I have called the subculture Greek because it tends to be dominated by fraternities and sororities. Many critics regard them as the dinosaurs of university life�organisms which failed to adapt. They do sometimes seem to be attempting to answer questions no one else is asking anymore. On all too many campuses they Is the Greek star dimming? are now characterized by embarassingly token integration, sub Are tKe Romans taking over? standard housing and more assessments than brotherhood." These generalizations notwithstanding. Dr. Boyd feels there Can they peacefully coexist? is reason for optimism: "Those who found that fraternities made a contribution to their own lives may take heart, how ever, from evidence that the decline may be nearing its end. Some campuses are already reporting a renewal of interest in membership. At a time when impersonality is a major problem in our universities�so much so that one critic had compared universities with stud farms�all service and no love; and in a novel situation where a base of supportive fellowship is needed; at a time when universities are in full retreat from the doctrine of in loco parentis; and when students must therefore assume new responsibilities for the ordering of their own lives; at such a time there are new challenges to which fraternities and sororities would seem to be uniquely equipped to respond. If at this moment they can find the flexibility and creativity then Greek they need, societies can enjoy a renaissance on col lege and university campuses." It is this search for flexibility and creativity that character izes what is happening with the Greek movement at the Uni Reprinted from The Wisconsin Alumnus December, 1967 versity of Wisconsin.

Let us pray that strength and courage abundant be given to all who work Jor a world oj reason and understanding * that the good that lies in every mans heart may day by day be

* magnified that men will come to see more clearly not that which divides them, but

* that which unites them that each hour may bring us closer to a final victory, not of

nation over nation, but of man over his own

* evils and weaknesses that the true spirit

of this Christmas Season � its joy, its beauty, its hope, and above all its abiding

* faith�may live among us that the blessings of peace be ours^the peace to build and grow, to live in harmony and sympathy with others, and to plan for the future with confidence
