COUNCIL WILL ACT ON RECOMMENDATION
“Hell Week” Problems To Be Decided At Interfraternity Meeting.
A recommendation, coming from the combined conference of the professional and social fraternities "Hell Week” committees, that the various fraternities should withhold all initiations and hell week periods until after final examinations of this semester, was made known today by Fred Pierson and Glenn Johnson, chairmen of the respective committees.
The "Hell Week” problems will come into discussion at the next interfraternity council meetings during the next week or ten clays, but until then the two chairmen have asked the co-operation of the fraternities on this one point, for reasons which are “decidedly beneficiai to the fraternities themselves.”
"That concerted action upon the one move to withhold ‘Hell Weeks’ from the next three week’s program %ill find the fraternities in a much better advantage to avoid complete abolition of the initiation periods, "as held to iu the conference,” was stated by the chairmen.
The abolition of “Hell Week” has become a national movement in all fraternities and will gather great impetus upon this campus unless the social and professional groups ac-quiess to a constructive and more moderate initiation prologue.

Group Plans Marriage Aid In Big Cities
Sociologists Hold Discussion On Problems In Finding Desirable Matches.
Presenting the problem of the many-young persons who move to large cities and find great difficulty in making enough acquaintances to provide an opportunity for marriage, the Southern California branch of the American Eugenics society held a discussion last night on the means of promoting marriage in cities. Dr. George 13. Mangold of the sociology faculty, presided over the meeting which was held in the Administration building.
Undesirable matches or no marriages at all are too often the result in large cities, according to an announcement of tlie society.
ESSENTIALS OF MARRIAGE
Leading the discussion, Dr. Man gold outlined certain essentials of successful marriages. Affection or love, a mutual appreciation of each other's personalities, and a capacity for adaptation to each other, plus similar levels of molality, mentality, and social outlook are conditions which are preliminary to the promotion of marriage and with which a couple will have a reasonable chance for attaining and maintaining normal standards of living, according to the speaker.
Marriages resulting from short acquaintances, which are practically love-at-lirst-sight affairs, constitute the a valuable aid in the solving of marriage problems, said Dr. Mangold in conclusion.
