To The Editor
Marathon, Egypt, March 4 — (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): This country is not going Hollywood; it’s going marathon. Doings which are bigger and better no longer satisfy; they must be longer and longer. At London a naval disagreement marathon is now on. Husbands are still listening to their talkie marathons. Auto drivers arc very happy enjoying a non-stop pedestrian marathon.
At Dayton, Ohio, a dance marathon which began in November still continues. The building will have to be condemned for old age in order to put a stop to this dance carnival.
First tiling you know college professors will catch on to the idea and start a term paper and collateral reading marathon. And what will happen if radio announcers break out with a non-stop broadcasting marathon. Suspicious wives should welcome a stay-at-home marathon. No doubt apartment house owners are preparing for a norent marathon.
Yours for week-end marathons,

PRO'COUHCIL VOTES TO OUST HELL WEFK
At their meeting last week the*brought storms of criticism from
ofessional inter-fraternity council passed a ruling definitely abolishing hell week in all the fraternities that are members of that body. In place of the older custom, these fraternities have adopted a new' type of constructive probation week.
According to Harold Stanier, president of the Pro-Council, the new initiation is more difficult and produces a far more lasting impression on the candidates than does the old. Constructive problems relating to the profession from which the fraternity selects its pledges, fraternity and school history and traditions, and ample time for study are the features which distinguish probation week from hell week.
Several large national fraternities have been discussing this move for several years and the change is due rather to the discussions within tlie fraternities themselves than to any pressure which has been brought to bear by school authorities. Fraternity leaders have for sometime considered the faults of the old type of Initiation which usually lowered the scholasUc standing of the candidates and
outside the school.
Ill a statement which he made yesterday, Doctor von KlelnSmid ssed his full approval of the action of the Pro-Council:
It has come to my attention tliat the Professional Inter-Fraternity council has taken ofllcial action to abolish the rough and horseplay items of initiation. Let me congratulate your group upon this accomplishment. I am confident that sucli practices in the past have served only to obscure the real ideals of fraternity life and have often left disagreeable memories of fraternity relationships which have prevented an appreciation of the finest qualities of fraternity association. In the interests of the best achievements possible to fraternities, I trust that other bodies may think it wise to follow the worthy example which your own organization has set in action.”
The fraternities who are members of the Pro-Council are: Sigma Phi Delta, Engineering; Alpha Rho Chi, Architecture; Scarab, Architecture; Phi Delta Chi, Pharmacy; Kappa Psi, Pharmacy; Delta Sigma Pi, Commerce; Phi Mu Alpha, Music; and Psi Omega, Dentistry.

SENIORS APPLY FOR POSITIONS
All seniors who are graduating in June and who do not have the prospect of a permanent position should make an application for immediately at the Bureau of Emloyment.
“Even those who do have the prospect of a position after they receive their degree should apply, as a permanent record of all those seniors who sign up, is kept,” states Charles Boren, manager of the Bureau. This record is valuable to all graduates as it may be referred to by a possible employer.
It is imperative for those who will get degrees to sign up as soon as possible. This will make it possible for interviews, tryouts, and applications before June so that the employee may start as soon as he has graduated. Thla method which has been a custom in the Employment Bureau f«r some years has proved highly mdc-cessful in placing many seniors in permanent positions.
