It calls for a three fourths vote of active members to pass on candidates, thti eliminating “automatic" accep tance of a man w ho w as recom mended by his living organiza t ion. Under the old system, each fra ternity and men’s co-op was al lowed one member In the honorary and five were chosen from dormi tory residents. Opponents of this method pointed out that Skull and Dagger was little more than a "re presentative body” of sophomores. To do away with the possibility of the honorary becoming lop-sided with members from a certain group of houses, the amendment stated that no more than three actives shall be from the same living or ganization. A maximum of 25 mem bers ami a minimum of 20 was al so included in the change. The change in membership rules of the honorary had been propos ed at an earlier meeting. President Jack Beyers referred the proposal to a three-man committee of Hod Bell, Dick Davis, and Bill Frye who drafted it into amendment form. Other business discussed was presentation of the annual Willy Frager scholarship, and tapping for new members. Both events will probably take place Junior Week end.
