Prejudice Claim Attacked By Kappa Alpha Leaders
Leaders of two fraternities involved in the alleged assault | against the Kappa Alpha order at an interfraternity council • meeting late last week have voiced disapproval of published ■ remarks concerning their action, while three others have | called for further clarification of the issue.
Morey Thomas. Chi Phi president,
! who presented the formal motion at the Thursday meeting for oust-1 ing Kappa Alpha from IFC mem-j bership. yesterday asserted that | published reports did not embody the true essence of the controversy.
“I feel that yesterday’s story in the DT was entirely inadequate as it was undoubtedly obtained from a most prejudiced source who failed to keep the quotations in the same form as they were made,” Thomas explained.
UNFRIENDLY SPIRIT
“I made no attempt to speak for other houses on the row, but attempted to point out that there has long been an unfriendly spirit between Kappa Alpha and other fraternities which has been felt by most fraternities.”
Yesterday’s DT said that Thomas had told council members “that his house and ‘all others on the Row’ had found Kappa Alpha ‘uncooperative.’ ”
Ralph Townsend, Sigma Phi Epsilon, also voiced concern about the way the heated fraternity debate was handled. Yesterday’s DT told of how Townsend had brought up incidents such as an alleged “water dumping” on Sig Ep songsters and a general Row waterfight last spring while he was attempting to

Karl Mannheim Lecture Topic Of Robinson
The sociological philosophy of Karl Mannheim will be discussed today by Daniel S. Robinson, director of the School of Philosophy, at the Philosophy forum. 4:15 today, in Bowne hall.
“Mannheim was a distinguished liberal thinker who became an exile from Germany under the Hitler regime.” Dr. Robinson said.
“All the forms of dictatorship khat are based upon the use of military power were rejected by Mannheim. He advocated a planned society to regulate the conflicting pressure groups that have developed in modern life.
“Mannheim s sociological philosophy deserves careful study and consideration, and it ia certain to exercise considerable influence upon the future development of democracy, ’’commented Dr. Robinson.
Dr. Robinson has had a wide field of experience in the field of philosophy, having studied at Yale, Harvard, and Butler universities. His writing on the subject include such books as “The Principles of Reasoning.” “The God of the Liberal Christian'’ and “Introduction to Living Philosophy."
The speaker served as a naval chaplain and he still holds the position of commanding officer of the chaplain component of the eleventh naval district.
