A WINTER DAY LITTLE THINGS The sun splashes the cold snow witb blinding light. I do not ask for precious gifts, The wheels of a cart make a chilling, crunchy A ruby or expensive rings, sound. Or silks that shimmer in the sun ; A distant bell re-echoes clear and thin. I want the little, priceless things. A chipmunk scuttles hurriedly along the ground. A day like this is unreal in its coldness. A primrose with its golden cup, Every living thing draws into itself apart; A silver, sparkling drop of rain, There is no companionship or laughter, The copper of the setting sun, Just an iciness which encircles the heart. All these would make me rich again.

Revaluations College students should be leaders in progress, yet if society in general developed along the narrow lines of fraternity standards there would be little hope for better international re­ lations or greater religious harmony. I should like to see a chapter of any fraternity with courage enough to stand on the prin­ ciple of simplicity where conditions make it advisable, and offer to prospective members only the fundamentals of fraternity; friendliness, companionship, inspiration, and an opportunity to be useful. If it consisted of only one member I should respect her for her gallant atti­ tude, but I believe she would not be left alone. The most popular house in my college days was in straitened circumstances for the time, but we found there lively conversation, intel­ lectual stimulus, plenty of nonse,nse, a charming hospitality, and no pretense. That is as it should be in college circles. We need the spirit of humility which recognizes what we have received in our fraternity contacts. We need the spirit of honesty which shall acknowledge our hypocrisies. We need the spirit of service which shall blot out prejudice and selfishness and set out feet on a new path.-To Dragma of Alpha Omega Pi.

Pay Our Bills Now! We appreciate the fact that the economic changes of the last two years have brought finan­ cial difficulties but the depression should not be considered an excuse for financial embar­ rassment but rather a reason for the assumption of greater responsibility and the adoption of a more serious attitude toward the whole problem of finance. Sigma Kappa stands for integrity and resolution at all times, and during a period of stress and change, it is all the more important that all Sigmas should reflect this general principle. "Where financial matters are concerned, all fraternalism ceases," says the editor of The T eke, and no truer statement could be made today. The success of our sorority during the remainder of this depression consists of three factors: ( 1) Pledging and initiation of a sufficient quota to sustain house activities, ( 2) keeping the house well filled, and (3) the prompt collection of all house bills. The house, after all, is no old peoples home, nor is it a charitable institution.

Fireside economy parties are gaining popularity with Greek-letter organizations on ma.ny cam­ puses. These affairs, a money-saving movement, have just been sanctioned by the interfratermty com~­ cil at the University of Minnesota. The popular social function has been given various names at .van­ ous schools, but retains its similarity of radios instead of orchestras and bridge in place of d1nner dances.

Just a few of the fraternities boasting new homes since the opening of the fall semester are AI pha Sigma Phi at Carnegie Tech, Alabama, and West Virginia, Kappa Sigma at Dickinson, and Kappa Delta Rho at Michigan, Theta Chi at the university of Washington. Sororities to change their residences this semester are Phi Mu at Alabama, Alpha Xi Delta at Ohio University, Delta Delta Delta at Texas, Zeta Tau Alpha at Northwestern, Delta Zeta at Illinois and DePauw.

Ten deans and one college president answered the question, "Why do students fail?" in The Temple of Phi Kappa, recently. Among the interesting answers are found both agreement and disagreement of ~ac~ors. Some replies classified identical reasons as main causes, while others claimed they were minor or 1~s1gntficant. Among. the answe~s, sev~n named extra-curricular activities, six lack of appreciation, incen­ hve, and nahve ab1lt!)r; five sa1d laz1ness; four mentioned inadequate finances, poor health, and attempt o.f se.lf-support; three mcluded worry, mad equate preparation before coming to college, and excessive so­ Cial mt~rests; two n~med envuonment and love affa1rs; one mentioned over-emphasized vocational in­ terest, msuffiCient gnt, and wrong type of institution.

AIN we present a conriensation of the college news. The plan, which seems both necessary and desirable, has met with some criticism and some praise; perhaps its critics should adopt the point of view that the TRIANGLE staff is really offering a subtle compliment-that our readers do not need details, but can trust to their imaginations and own knowledge of the campus to fill in all around the high spots. We regret that the names of new chapter officers cannot be used in this issue. Lists of pledges and initiates will be found in another section.
