Investigate
Dormitory
Conditions
The Junior Inter - Fraternity
Council Tuesday evening selected
u committee of three members to
present a proposal for study of
dormitory conditions to the Fresh
men Council.
Under the JIFC plan three re
presentatives of the Freshman
Council would become members of
a joint JIFC-Freshman Council
committee ttfhich would make the
study.
Following group debate on the
proposed project, the committee,
appointed by JIFC president Bill
Paulus and approved by the body,
Issued the following statement:
"Since the Junior Inter-Frater
nity Council represents all the
pledges, many of whom are liv
ing in the dormitories, we wish to
conduct nn objective study to de
termine whether the freshmen dor
mitory conditions can be improved
and to submit any findings and sug
gestions to the proper authorities.
"Our sole aim is to improve any
imjsvorable conditions found."
"^The committee is composed of
Fred Baltz, Phi Sigma Kappa;
Jack Adair, Delta Tail Delta;
Judge Elderkin, Theta Chi.
Wayne Carothers, freshmen
class president, was present at the

Xcconlmg to tilt- amendment,
more- emphasis will lie placed
on first-year activities <>t initi
atc> and less on their 1 i\ iiig or
ganizations. 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.
