Secretary Is ‘Real Guy’ These Frat Boys Admit “All Elks are good fellows, but all good fellows are not Elks,” if you can take the word of six members of a certain fraternity at Purdue University. They arrived at this conclusion after a rather hectic party at the fraternity house. School had been dismissed that atternoon, and all but the six fellows had gone home for the vacation. They were to leave in the morning. To pass away the time, they organized a little party. Just the fellows, some ginger ale, and a few rounds of pinochle. About midnight the party waxed boisterous, but gradually subsided until 3 a. m. when the boys went to bed. The next morning they went downstairs and found a note on a table in front of the fire. “I happened to be in town last night about midnight, and thought I’d drop in and spend the evening.” And it was signed by the National traveling secretary of the fraternity. The boys were worried. “Would he report them to the national, president? Would their charter be revoked? Would they be expelled from the university?” They went home still worried. No action was taken. And then, at the State banquet, two weeks after vacation, the national traveling secretary spoke. “You know I dropped in on the Purdue chapter just before vacation,” he "said. * The six Purdue fellows held their breath. “But they are rather an inhospitable bunch. They were having a big party upstairs.” Twelve eyes looked for the nearest exit. “They didn't even invite me in on the party. I left the next morning before they were out of bed,” he concluded and smiled in the direction of the Purdue delegation. The secretary had proved himself a “good fellow.” The six men "confessed” to him after the banquet and promised “never again.”
