Student waiters serve the food except on Sundays and during breakfasts when cafeteria style is the rule. Diners can usually got second helpings, but are limited to one glass of milk at dinner and two at lunch.

Each of Brown's fraternities has from 10 to 60 members. Freshmen are pledged during rush weeks in the middle of their second semester and are inducted the following fall. One society is noted for culling members of the football team while others have different specialties of their own.

"No Student Rift"

According to Richard L. Sherman, editor of the Brown Daily Herald and rushing chairman of Delta Upsilon, most of the upperclassmen not in fraternities are not members simply because they don't want to be. In his opinion there is no rift between fraternity men and independents.

He pointed out that fraternity parties are usually open to all upperclassmen. Social life for independents, however, centers around Faunce House, the oldest operating student union in New England.

Run by a student board of governors, Faunce House contains a mammoth stuffed Alaskan Brown bear, a fully equipped theatre, and practically all the undergraduate student activities' offices. It sponsors dances almost every week and operates fountain service and a television room.

"Lobster" Council

All campus organizations and activities fall under the jurisdiction of the Cambrian Club, Brown's student council. Originally, the Cam Club was a social group which met for weekly lobster dinners--it derives its name from the Latin word lobster. It has the power to revoke the charters of any student club or publication, and it appoints the members of the student court.

This august body sits in solemn session once a week to try student infractions of the rules. Cases are referred to the court by the dean of the college, and all sentences may be appealed to the dean. Such charges as "conduct unbefitting a Brown gentleman" come under the court's jurisdiction.

Although college elections always create a great stir on campus, Brown is politically dead as far as the outside world is concerned. There are local Young Republicans, Students for Democratic Action, and World Federalists, but these are all relatively inactive.

Summing up non-academic interests. Herald Editor Sherman, characterized Brown as a "week-end school." This, at least for fraternity men, seems to be a widespread feeling
