And, according to an assistant dean at the university, the many living groups will have to become more active if they plan to survive. SAYS ASSISTANT Dean DSSOULA (UPI) The fraternities are dying or so it seems according to a reporter for Missoula radio and television station KGVO. During a look last week at some of the University of Montana fraternity rush week activities, KGVO newsman Leon Pinski says it appears the un wayside, Cross said. Pinski said no longer does one see the campus populated with franternity jackets or an elite, crew of young men troupin across campus to emphasize their solidarity.

Instead, said Pinski, today's" college students seem to be banding together over such issues as the war in Vietnam, ecology or social problems while fraternity men are left behind clinging to their traditions seem to be accepting persons who do not put their education above social activities. PINSKI SAYS he toured a number of fraternity houses last week and saw beer being served to a number of freshmen going through although such is apparently against the policy of the university. Pinski said Cross stated that many of the incoming freshmen don't want anything to do with the harassment that is traditional with some fraternities. "The attitudes of the students have changed. They no longer feel they need a group to do something with.

Thus, the men's living groups are falling by the George Cross, "The population of some of the organizations has dropped 50 per cent in the past two years with two local fraternities recently ceasing to exist." Cross cited a number of reasons for the situation ranging from a lower scholastic standard to the lack of participation in the community and campus activities by fraternity men. Said Cross, "At one time the living groups were major power forces on campus. Now they are considered a minority." Cross says the men's living groups have fallen behind the rest of the student body scho-lastically because the fraternity men are not interested in grades, and thus the groups Lander Native Named To Chair Commission the provisions of the congres-sionally approved interstate compact of 1950 between the two states relating to the division and apportionment of the waters of the Yellowstone River and its tributaries.

The reservation dry since its establishment in the 1890s may lift prohibition if pro-liquor forces win in a fight that looms for the council's Oct. 10 The Crow's new tourist complex at Crow Agency includes in its plans both a restaurant and a bar, according to architect Harrison Fagg of Billings. EARLIER THIS year the council withheld an application for federal funds to build the tourist center until all mention of the bar was ommitted from the formative plans. But, as of Sunday, plans for a Riverton Project Bill Signed by President bar are still alive, reports Fagg. Big Horn County sources say Edison Realbird leads the tribal forces favoring a suspension of the reservation's anti-alcohol ruling.

The ruling barring liquor on the reservation came in the late 1940s when a nation-wide ban on sales of alcholic beverages to Indians was lifted. AT THAT TIME each tribe was allowed to decide whether it wanted to admit liquor to its reservation. The Crows, along with all other Montana tribes, voted to keep tribal lands dry. Said to be leading liquor opposition among tribal council members is John Hill. The liquor issue, raised several times previously in council debates, has been defeated in every case.

If the Indians vote to repeal the reservation's prohibition, they will need license approval from the state liquor control board. At least one other Montana tribe has applied for and received such approval. MY-T-GOOD Tijk ft BUTTER Bronko s- N-1 RiPe i) PEACHES If (o i Can land in division three.
