Yale men have given up the sordid practice of living in sorority houses, according to a recent interview appearing in the columns of the unimpeachable Lamar (Missouri) Democrat with a local girl who has made good--Miss Zula Williams, "one of the dietitians at the great university of Yale."
Furthermore, the article reveals, the "University of Yale is in New Haven, a city by the way, that has water on three sides of it."
Still Has Sororities
The great University "still has its fraternities and sororities, but the custom of living in the sorority and fraternity houses has pretty much given way among the students to the plan of living in dormitories."
"Miss Zula," the Democrat's inquiring reporter quotes, "says the Yankees have been crowded out of New England. A large part of the population of New Haven, for example consists of Germans, Italians, and Poles."
Has Relaxed
"She has devoted her month's vacation, largely to resting and relaxing from her often strenuous work at Yale.
"Miss Zula is wise from actual contact with the various classes of human flotsam and jet some that comes floating, broken and drifting upon the shores of life's great ocean," the writer adds.
A copy of the Democrat containing the article was sent to the CRIMSON by Dana Coty ex-'29, now working at the Walt Disney Studios.
