WE always have \ad alcohol with us and we are likely to have it with us for some time yet to come. There are some people who for religious, cultural or social reasons are going to drink, and there are others who for the same reasons arc not going to drmk. Our difficulties in dealjng with the drinking of alcohol de not stem from the people who do NOT drink! Our trials and tribulations stem from all those people who for reasons both good and bad drink alcohol and intend to continue to drink. Our quandary, however, with all those people who drink and who intend to continue to drink can be solved only if we all recognize that one in fifteen is a potential alcoholic. Knowledge about moderate drinking is important but the issue of moderation has little to do with alcohol.
If we could teach the basic information about alcoholism to everybody, we would, surely have answered as completely as is possible questions raised by alcohol on the campus. This basic information must be understood and accepted by ALL students, teachers and parents whether they are potential alcoholics, moderate drinkers or abstainers.

men drink alcohol and that 46 % of the freshman women and 7 7% of the senior women drink alcohol. On page fifty-six we find regarding college students who drink, that 79 % of the men drank alcohol before entering college, while 65 % of the women drank alcohol before enrolling. On page sixty-nine we find a most significant conclusion indicating, that prohibition of alcohol in college decreases the number of students who drink, but it appears not to decrease heavy drinking among those students who drink. These brief references to the facts available indicate that not only is the consumption of alcohol a big problem, but that so far we have not hit upon anything like an adequate solution. Certainly efforts at prohibition of drinking at all times by all college students have not been gratifying. Other controls must supplement The Problem external controls, and education must The extent of the problem with supplement controls of any type.

The greatest single handicap to influencing student conduct related to alcohol is the attitude of the public toward the use of alcohol and especially ignorance about alcoholism. Briefly, the prevailing attitude regarding the use of alcohol is either that it is only a moral issue, that it is no issue, or that the consumer must learn moderation in drinking. In my experience, those for whom it is only a moral issue generally exhibit bigotry in their attitude regarding the use of alcohol by others. Those for whom it is no issue or one of learning to drink moderately generally display arrogance regarding those who have any other view. Nearly all exhibit hypocrisy regarding the use of alcohol. Bigotry, arrogance and hypocrisy are difficult vices with which to deal, especially all at once.
a d efinit ion of an alcoholic. An c ating definition of an alcoholic is "an alcoholic is any person drinks and continues to drink a holic beverages even though he difficulties detrimental to himsell others after he drinks." One can from this definition that an alcor student is not just one who dril he is not necessarily one who dr a lot; he is not necessarily one ' gets into trouble after drinking; r not always a student who gets dr often nor a student who gets i serious trouble while drunk. Only student who gets into trouble of kind, REPEAT EDLY, after dri ing but continues to drink in spitt the trouble is, in my opinion, exhi ing the basic symptom of poten alcoholism, n amely, that drinkin~ abnormally important to him. V few have this simple but basic formation. Absolutely nothing can done to help a student with a dri ing problem until this informatim fully accepted by the student.

Jrevent one from becoming an al:oholic is for him never to take the J.rst drink. Unfortunately, nearly ~veryone is quite sure he is not and \lEVER will become an alcoholic. It .s simple ignorance to think this. Regarding this second bit of information, we not only do not know that any of us might become an alcoholic, but ost of us have strong convictions oased upon our ignorance. The third morsel of information which I feel is basic in any work we :xpect to do with alcohol is that the tudent, the parent, and the teacher 1m t learn that one ( 1) in fifteen ( 15 ) can NEVER be able to drink 1lcohol at any age, in any form, or an lmount however small without having ifficultie , and if he continues drinkng he will die a are ult of his drinkng.

ALCOHOLISM Alcoholism is a chronic, disabling, progressive disease of unknown cause which impairs the ability of the individual to function in a normal and acceptable manner in his environment. It is characterized by physiological and j or psychological and/or socio-economical disturbances in the individual. There are three states of alcoholism, defined as followed: 1. Acute alcoholism: the state of being under the influence of excessive alcoholic intake; 2. Chronic alcoholism active: recurrent episodes of acute alcoholism occurring in a pattern essentially unchanged in the period preceding the making of this diagnosis;
the illness of alcoholism, namely abstinence. The fifth piece of information is the following: THE SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOLISM CAN BE OBSERVED IN PEOPLE OF ANY AGE, SEX, CREED, EDUCATIONAL LEVEL OR SOCIOECONOMIC GROUP very soon after the person who drinks is free to drink as much or as often as he desires. Prevention of Problems with Alcohol Members of Alcoholics Anonymous have demonstrated more clearly, more practically and more definitely than any one group I know, the absolute necessity of belief in a Supreme Being by any person desiring help with a drinking problem. Effective alcohol education, therefore, is not just the teaching of basic information; it is also the teaching of a substantial way of life based upon belief in God. Without this belief that there is a Su-

Chronic alcoholism zn remzsswn: a history of recurrent episodes of acute alcoholism in which the pattern appears to have been interrupted for a period longer than any known previous period of abstinence. As is already apparent, no reference is made to the quantity ingested, the time of day the first drink is taken, or to the alleged allergy to alcohol, or to the type of alcoholic beverage consumed. Primarily, what is important is whether or not the alcohol that the individual drinks impairs his ability to function in a normal and acceptable manner in his environment. Thus, an individual whose environ-
preme Being, all other teaching, however scientific, intensive or extensive, is bound to be ineffective. One cannot create an island of informed students living within a sea ·of ignorance on a given subject. For this reason, it is almost impossible to do anything about this subject of alcohol, which is in any way very effective, until we are able to affect a change in our entire intellectual and spiritual climate so far as alcohol is concerned. The necessity for the creation of this intellectual and spiritual climate might seem to be an impossible task and a sign of hapless pessimism but, in my opinion, if we might and would provide a significant and valid program for teaching the basic information we now possess about alcohol and alcoholism in our colleges and universities, then and only then could we have, in a reasonably short time, the change in climate which ·would allow us to influence the conduct of students in relation to alcohol.

About the Author
The symptoms of alcoholism can be observed in people of any educational level, socio-economic group, age, sex, race or creed very soon after the person who drinks is free to drink as much or as often as he desires. Alcohol education is education in a "way of life," plus basic information. Either one without the other is actually harmful whenever alcohol is involved.
his parents and others interested, that suspension from the university is a certain consequence of a second serious incident in which alcohol is involved. 3. An expert speaker on alcohol, pre£erably a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, should be available to all student groups and the group should be urged to hear such a speaker at least once each year.
Conclusion A Program in Brief Every student who gets into any kind of trouble, however minor, hould talk with a trained alcohol counselor who can present the basic information without making moral judgments. Every student who gets into serious trouble must be placed upon disciplinary probation with the under tanding, shared by the student,
This approach to alcohol education lea Yes no room for intolerance; it lea Yes no room for bigotry; it leaves no room for arrogance; it leaves no room for hypocrisy. Above all, it leaves no room for those who cannot learn omething new. It requires hard \·Vork, intelligence, and faith in ourelYe , in God, and faith in others.

Joins Eli Lilly Company
Edmund W. Cerwinsky has accepted a position as an associate bio-chemist with Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical firm. He will assist in the isolation and assay of medicinal compounds derived from glandular sources. He is a member of the American Chemical Society and the American Association for Advancement of Science. Edmund is a member of our Chapter at Berkeley, University of California, where he was a graduate research zoologist prior to joining the Lilly firm.
Big Wheel On the Roll
Delta. The "Wheel" was racing homeward in his bright red MG-TD Classic, when a beauteous bevy of Tri-Delt freshmen (posing for their house picture) caught his eye. And being like any red-blooded Acacian, Todd suddenly wheeled across the Tri Delt lawn-right into the picture. Luckly, no one was bruised. But what some people won 't do to meet a girl or two or twenty!
Did you really pick up all those girls in one evening, Todd? Quite an accomplishment, even for Oregon State's well-known Social Chairman, Todd Wheeler. Actually, one fine evening, the Brothers were returning from a serenade with Alpha Gamma
actively in 30 major launches from Cape Kennedy. Information furnished by Captain Tucker or one of his associates often decides whether the situation is "Go" or "Scrub."
Common Law," "Law and Morals," "Interpretations of Legal History" and others. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren said of Pound: "His devotion to the law, his contributions to the education of members of both bench and bar, and his great contributions to the jurisprudence of our country have not been excelled in our history." Roscoe Pound received our highest award, the Acacia Award of Merit, in 1954.
Third Generation First
Heads Student Body President of the Student Body at Iowa State this year is Acacian Douglas Whitney. Doug, who is immediate past Venerable Dean, helped to lead this Chapter to the National Fraternity's highest award ever given to a Chapter, the Malcolm Award. Doug continues active in his Chapter, having served as Summer Rush Chairman, and giving guidance to the National by his continuous contributions in the field of Pledge Education.
Wabbits Multiply At Arizona Fast becoming a campus tradition of the University of Arizona is the annual White Wabbit Party. The party is preceded by an initiation of the members' dates into the Secret Order of the White Wabbit, composE-d of three deg rees: coHontails, bunnyhood, and weal live wabbits. Only after becoming weal live wabbits can the young ladies enter into the party in the Wabbit Hutch. Because it is a secret order, the Chapter cannot divulge the ritual on these pages, however copies will be sent on request to the Junior Dean .
For the first time in Acacia's 60-year history, we have a third-generation member. The honors go to Penn State and to John Henderson Dye, the grandson of William S. Dye Jr., a charter member of the Penn State Chapter who also served a the National Editor of the Journal of Acacia and "The Epic of Acacia," as well as the National President from 192: to 1929. William S. Dye Jr.'s son, William S. Dye, Ill, was initiated into Acacia in 1935 where he was active as Venerabl, Dean, Chapter advisor, Financial Advisor, and is now current President of the Square and Compass. It is now the third-generation John Dye, son of William S. Dye, Ill, who is carrying on the tradition. Althougâ&#x20AC;˘ new to the Chapter ranks , John has served as Pledge class President and is Junior Dean. The picture shows the three generations of Acacians.

Living Symbol Members of Illinois Acacia are proud of their recent addition to their lawn-a large Colorado blue spruce. The evergreen, one of the largest ever successfully transplanted , is over 35 feet tall , has a I0-inch diameter and is estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old. This "Acacia evergreen" appears as a living symbol of our rich fraternal heritage to all Acacians who live in or visit the Chapter. Resting their shovels after the job are Brothers (1. to r.) Roger Adelman and Ralph Moneen.

The works are categorized as Creative Photography. Charles has attempted to perceive relationships which fall outside the
boundaries of previous experience, to see more, and to grasp the multi-faced potential of visual experience. The exhibition is a culmination of his photographs over the last two years. This exhibit is Charles' first one-man show, though he has exhibited in a large show at Kansas State, two large shows and a two-man show at the State University of Iowa.

of Class A gentleman and a scholar, and never has it been more true than in the case of Lloyd Dennis, of the Ohio Chapter. Lloyd compiled the phenomenal point-ratio of 3.928 out of a possible 4.0 during his four years of undergraduate study at Ohio. The mark was tops among men in the 1964 graduating Class and helped his chapter take second place scholastically among the field of 19 other fraternities. A member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa honoraries, Lloyd is continuing his education at the University of Michigan Graduate School in History.
Designers Mantel and Steele, Kansas City, used a unique octagonal floor plan in the building which will accommodate eight fraternities. The building, to house 400 men, will have a central kitchen, chapter dining rooms and separate entrances for each organization. It is located on a large knoll a short distance from the main quadrangle, the College Union, gymnasium and classroom buildings.
Outstanding Badger Acacian Carl F. Kantner, past Venerable Dean of the Wisconsin Chapter, received the Order of Pythagoras from National President George Patterson at the National Conclave. While leading his Chapter in preserving the rights of Fraternity membership, Carl made a straight A average, helping his Chapter to gain the top scholarship position. A Junior at the University of Wisconsin, he was elected to the Treasurer's post of the Interfraternity Association and has been chosen as one of fifteen sophomores and juniors to MACE, the men's scholastic and activities honorary.

carefully planned activity of Acacia. A group called "The Cheaters"-two guitars, a bass and drums, Rowland Stanley, Rick Centner, Tom Goetzl and Steve Landau-gave a concert from the porch of the Acacia House. Led by Brother Rick Centner, the students will be coming out with a new record soon, which presumably they want to be able to say is a crowd stopper. From the look of the pictures, looks as if they might be right. But knowing the Acacians at Berkeley-you haven't seen anything yet-you are going to be hearing from them again.
P y t hag or as' A cacia
In this world which is being dominated more and more by ideas, it is only fitting that the Acacia Fraternity state what underlying principles guide the philosophy of the fraternity. The following is a brief statement of these principles. It does not necessarily represent each individual member's opinions, but it does represent the ideology which surrounds the fraternity. Many will feel that in this materialistic country, abstract ideals are worthless. The Fraternity refuses to accept such an outlook and makes clear before all concerned that it will not accept such a pragmatic anarchy of a valueless existence. It would be theoretically correct to call our philosophy conservative, but due to the ambiguity which surrounds this term, another must be sought. In actuality the layman's outlook of conservatism is in reality classical liberalism, which is repugnant in many aspects to the conceptions of this fraternity. For this reason let the philosophy be referred to as Burkian, for it was Edmund Burke who first stated the ideals which this Fraternity, Acacia, generally accepts. The ideas themselves are much older than Burke, but he was the first to combine these ideas and present them as a compact philosophy. The first idea is that Acacia is an organic entity. It is a living organism. Acacia is far more than just the elements which exist today. Burke said that "Society is ... a partnership not only between those who are living, but those who are dead and those who are to be born." The Credo of Acacia states
II
that "I will hold a trust for all good Acacians, those who were Acacians before me, those who are now, and those who will become Acacians in the future." In other words the Fraternity is alive-to cut off the past or future would be like cutting off an arm or leg. The result of his idea is that the fraternity is imbued with traditions, for they are the elements of the past. These elements give the fraternity the necessary stability to overcome the pragmatic problems of the day to day existence. They are the glue that cements the Fraternity together through crisis such as occurred at Estes Park in 1932 and others more recently. This is not to indicate that the fraternity believes in a status quo existence. Quite the contrary, the fraternity could not look to the future if it were a stagnant and static organization. To stop progress would destroy the organic entity just as much as to ignore traditions. The result is a process of evolution through experiences. Out of traditions come new adaptations and progress. In other words the traditions of the past give both stability and direction to the fraternity, and prevent situations as Estes Park from turning into a catastrophe. Thus a continuity over the years is achieved and preserved. It guides but does not dictate the future. Why not think up some new master plan irrespective of tradition? To do this would be to throw away every lesson which experience has taught. To destroy the virtues of the past would be as fool hardy as the French Revolution which attempted to build from scratch, irrespective of the past-it ended in totalitarian failure. The second concept we adhere to is the basic inequality of man. It is an erroneous
conception that liberty and equalitarianism are inseparable parts of a democratic system. In actuality, they are irreconcilable opposites. Man cannot be free to do as he wishes and still be considered the equal of all. If he achieves by freedom, a position above others he is obviously not their equal. The Fraternity does, however, accept the belief that every man must be granted a basic dignity deserved as a human being. The conclusion is that Acacia not only recognizes the basic inequality of man, but believes that there is an elite among mankind. The essence of all brotherhoods is an elitist one, a banding together of people who have more than average intelligence and abilities. At the same time, Acacia believes that no right is absolute. The Fraternity has no right to suppress non-members. \Ve have no wish to reduce the rights of others, to the contrary, the motto of our Organization is "Human Service," for Acacia believes that every right has a corresponding responsibility. Our right of association must be countered by a responsibility to our society. Thus as Burke, we push for rights of non-members but still keep the right of blackball as we see fit. The third element is Acacia 's outlook on the nature of man. We believe that both the Rational and the emotional elements of man's nature must be taken into account. The idea that man is perfectable as the Marxist would have it is foolish. We are not condemning the emotional portion of man. As a rna tter of fact the essence of brotherhood is emotion. Brotherhood does not serve a rational need. James Mill stated that a starving man could not think of democracy. A fraternity's purpose i similar. A man cannot think of educa-
II rion when his emotional desires are not satisfied. Acacia feels that there is nothing wrong with satisfying this type of desire, for it is an : m tgrowth of man's right to relaxation. If the ~motional aspect of the student is not satisfied then it will not be possible for him to achieve ~is goals in education. This turns to the next element, that of edu~ation. Acacia looks at education as far more :han the learning of a trade-it is a way of .ife. Part of our ritual quotes Soloman when 1e says to seek knowledge and with all thy mowledge seek wisdom and with thy wisdom ~e t understanding. Not only must the indiridual know facts (knowledge ), and be able o correlate them with other facts (wisdom ), .mt h e must be able to comprehend his enrironment so that h e can make use of his wislom (understanding) . Thus it is a compretension of the totality of the individual's culure. Education, as we define it, is a way of ife requiring its recipient "to give light to hose with whom we may be associated as we ravel along life's pathway." As a corollary to education, the Fraternity 1elieves that knowledge is the unity of God. ~ll knowledge comes from Him. The Fraterity accepts its subordination to an "overoul" or supreme being and realizes that its rganic life comes from Him above. "Those who thus passed approved through e instruction of Pythagoras were members 'f a noble brotherhood, holding secret the nowledge which the vulgar were not qualied to receive, bound in fraternal amnity one tl another, and obliged by their participation 1 wisdom to lead virtuous lives and to serve 1e common good.

In the Spring issue of the T RIA D of ACACIAJ a dialogue on the conflicts between the fraternity world and some of its adversaries was discussed. The Summer issue of the T RIAD brought you the story on the federal government intervention into fra ternal organizations and the subsequent congressional action forbidding such intervention. Acacia always in search for the truth now focuses the T RIA D Spotlight on another story-
the story of California. The controversy between the fraternity world and [ts antagonists is presently most crucial in California, md the outcome in California may have far-reaching :tffects on the entire Greek system. Reasons for the .mportance of the struggle in California are obvious: ( 1) a large number of educational institutions are involved, ( 2) the pressure by college and university :tdministrations for "local autonomy" in the fraterni:ies and sororities is most concerted in California, ( 3) .he Greeks are taking a determined stand defending :he rights to choose members in accordance with ~tandards established through democratic processes in cheir national conventions. California has sixteen state college campuses and ~ight university campuses. While each campus has its )Wn administration, the overall control is by the Board : > f Regents for the university campuses and the Board lf Trustees for the state colleges.
On January 15, 1957 a bill (Assembly Bill No. 758) was introduced into the State legislature by five assemblymen to bring governmental action against private student organizations because they select their members. The bill however was never reported out of committee, and thus not voted on. Then in November of 1957 the National Interfraternity Conference went into action by approving the report of its Autonomy Committee. As stated by that committee, the report set forth the following principles: ( 1 ) The choosing of one's own friends and associates is a social right which cannot be confused with civil rights and therefore is not subject or amenable to edicts, regulations, laws, and legislative fiats abridging that social right. ( 2) Each college fraternity is a social organization, voluntary in membership and, as such, is entitled to exercise its fundamental American right to choose members with its own standards. Other documents
how that "membership in a voluntary association is a privilege . . . and not a right which can be gained independently and then enforced." (Vol. 4 American Jurisprudence p. 4; See also Ross v . Ebert) 275 Wis 523; Ma yer v journeyman Stone-Cutter)s Asln, 47 N.J. Eq. 519; also State v. Board of Trustees of Th e Ohio Stat e Uni versity 126 Ohio St. 290.) The Attorney General of California spelled out the state's position on the matter at length in the Attorney General's Opinion, R eport No. 57-84 January 2, 1959 as follows : " ... 11oreover, the fraternities, so far as we can determine are not public organizations but remain separate, private identities ... On the other hand, if a state university or college in recognizing or approving the existence of fraternities merely permit students to become members of such organizations, conferring no tangible benefits and leaving the supervision with the parents or other per on outside the university except for control over the conduct of the fraternity member as tudents, the relationship of the state univer ity or college with the fraternity under the ca e thus far decided would not be violative of the United tate Constitution or of public policy ... " In the ' tate of California, the fraternal organization are slm ly being denied the right of free selection of potential mem bers and must labor under the presure impo ed by the tate and the school administration , inten ified by the harangu~ from certain indi-
viduals who consider themselves the vanguard of those prophets of equalitarianism who are determined to strike down any social organization which denies the premise that the goal of mankind is to realize the common denominator of mediocrity. Following the ruling of the Attorney General, confusion has seemed to increase.
Confusion Over Status Confusion stems from the fact that many people fail to realize that there is a difference between public groups and private groups on a campus. The Sophomore class is a public group whereas a fraternity is a private group. President Kerr of the University of California does not help a bit in his "Statement of University Policy Concerning Student Organizations," (July 16, 1959, pg. 1) when he refers to and states that fraternities '¡are essentially private," implying that they are partially public. The Universities have been expanding this concept ever since World War II and have evolved the concept of " Official Recognition" of the fraternities and therefore subjecting them to control, regulation ¡ and discipline as a group. Ari ing from this concept is the . question of whether fraternities must legally be recognized by the universities. It would appear that the college has the righ to recognize and / or control and / or regulate thos grou p of students, such as any of the four classes, '2.0

¡eshman, sophomore, junior, senior, the football team, 1e student body government and any of its arms etc. 'hich are a part of, officially represent, or function ¡ith official sanction of the college. It is submitted, however, that fraternities do not lherently fall into this classification, although some )liege administrators believe differently. Fraternities msider themselves private organizations and most ~rtainly voluntary associations. The civil right inolved is the guarantee that any individual or group : individuals may form any association as long as tat organization does not advocate the violent overirow of the government or pursue other illegal acvities. The confusion of relationship between fraterni~s and the Universities has not been premeditated r has it always existed to the present degree, but it ow has reached a point which is untenable. It ap~ars obvious that a re-appraisal of the role of fraterni~s in student life is necessary at once-for the sake ¡ the schools as well as for the fraternities. The result ~ing a definition of the proper role that fraternities Hfill beyond the scope of the schools to provide.
Can We Have God? In a somewhat hysterical atmosphere, the injustice hich has been done to certain minority groups has jW been tra~sferred to another group including the aternity system. This process was accomplished by
requiring that all student groups certify a memorandum on membership selection by September 1, 1964 stating that there is no racial, religious, or national origin restriction. Unfortunately this shotgun approach of attempting to solve many problems with one solution has collided with a constitutional guarantee-the right to freedom of religion. Freedom of religion assures every citizen of the right to any religious philosophy of his choice, free from governmental interference. A necessary corollary is the right of persons of like beliefs to join together and associate with each other free from governmental interference. It is unthinkable to believe that by governmental edict any church could be forced to accept as members, persons who refused to believe in the religion of that particular church. Yet that is precisely what is being required of fraternity groups when they are required to state that they do not discriminate because of religion. Certainly they discriminate on religious grounds because the basic character of these groups is religious in nature in that they believe in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. The majority of these groups have, as a fundamental requirement for membership, a belief in God. Their precepts, rituals and vows are all based on this belief. Many of the rituals are patterned after the ritual of the Masonic Lodge. These groups are now asked to sign a statement which can only be interpreted as meaning that they must accept as members, persons who do not believe in God. They thus could be required to accept as members atheists, agnostics, and person who believe in dieties other than God. Such a requirement is clearly an invasion of the right of freedom of religion. urely the Trustees and the Board of Regents could not have intended such results.
Fraternities File Suit In August of this year, the Acacia Fraternity and Pi Beta Phi Sorority on behalf of themselves and all other persons similarly situated filed a suit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles asking for Declaratory Relief and Injunction. The Regents of the University of California and the Trustees of the California State College as defendants have been cited with superceding their authority in requiring certification of membership selection in that: 1. Said regulations interfere with and violate the right of freedom of religion . . . 2. Said regulations interfere with and violate the right of freedom of association ... 3. Said regulations interfere with and violate the right of privacy of members ... 4. Said regulations interfere with and violate the right of freedom of assembly ... 5. The regulations and enforcement thereof deprive the palintiffs of property without due process of law ... 6. That the regulations and their enforcement wrongfully induce the breach of lawful contracts ... As to the reaction from the Universities and Colleges, the comments made by Dean of Students Byron H. Atkinson of UCLA on October 27 , 1964 might
serve as some guide. Dean Atkinson, a former member of the Board of Trustees said: "I will admit that there has been no test in Court of the University requirement, but there will be. Frankly, I'm glad to see the position taken by Pi Beta Phi and Acacia; the legal basis for the requirement coming from an Advisory Opinion of the Attorney General after pressure by certain groups should not be allowed to stand without a court test."
Taxpayer Files Suit Shortly after the Acacia-Pi Beta Phi et al. suit was filed, a taxpayer of the State of California filed a "Petition of Intervention" with the Court, which was subsequently granted. The Universities, Colleges, and Acacia, Pi Beta Phi and all other 180 fraternity and sorority Chapters and House Corporations in California have been named as defendants. The taxpayer as plaintiff points out that the fraternities as defendants have stated certain facts and that both Acacia and Pi Beta Phi have: "a prerequisite for membership is a belief in God together with an avowal of that belief. References and supplications to God are made in the ceremonies and rituals in which the members participate. Invocations and benedictions are addressed to God at all meals and meetings of the fraternity." The Plaintiff in Intervention states that he:
believes and alleges that all other fraternities and ororities engage in religious ceremonies and prayers in onnection with their initiations, rituals, practices, neetings, and at their meals." The Taxpayer Plaintiff then charges the State legents and Trustees with a violation of public trust .nd operating in violation of the provisions of Article 1V, Section 30, and 31 of the Constitution of the tate of California in that the State Constitution for>ids the state from aiding or abetting a religious ¡ rganization or any group requiring a religious pracor creed. The hearing on the Taxpayer's suit takes >recedence over our suit because tax money is in¡olved. Thus the trial of the Taxpayer's suit will be teld before the Acacia-Pi Beta Phi et al. suit can be teard. One thing seems certain, and that is that here will be a complete evaluation of the fraternity )'Stem and the relationship possible with a university. n the meantime, the points of controversy between various colleges and the fraternities are in the ands of the Court.
Rights Secured
Until Trial In seeking the extraordinary relief of a temporary order pending the trial of the Acacia, Pi
Beta Phi et al. suit, Judge Stevens Fargo found: " that the plaintiffs have too long delayed in seeking the extraordinary relief of a preliminary injunction ... and that the matter could have been determined on its merits seasonably." Our right to occupy our houses and operate our Chapters, whether we have a religious basis or not, has been assured by college and university authorities and is made secure by Judge Fargo's memorandum in which he refers to " Policy declarations of the defendants which it would be impossible for them to retract." Included are the following: " ... There is no inhibition whatever on the part of the State Colleges from a student joining any organization, irrespective of its policy ... " " ... The University ... will not prohibit members from living in non-recognized fraternity and sorority housing ... " In the meantime all of our California Chapters are continuing to operate without "recognition" of the Universities and, as in the past, are insisting on participation privileges in all school activities, claiming the right to do so as "students" rather than as groups. To fraternity people the situation is clear. We recognize full well, have respect for, and are in sympathy with the ideology under which the public colleges must operate; and we ask only that these schools recognize and respect the basic ideology of fraternities.
