IFC Will 'Work with Administration'
The Inter-Fraternity council, In
8 Hpeclal meeting Wednesday
night, approved a motion to “work
with the administration In trying
to support and improve the de
ferred living program."
The meeting—and the motion—
were in part the result of what
several members described as “bad
publicity" following last week's
meeting.
Pamphlet Discussed
At that time, the group discuss
ed a pamphlet which attacked the
recent alumni committee report
on deferred living. It had suggested
“that the deferred living program
T>c immediately abandoned and a
program of strengthening frater
nity living be undertaken.
Apparently there had been a
great deal of confusion about the
report — but Wednesday night’s
meeting indicated it did not have
IFC's support.
Contains Falsity
According to new IFC President
Con .Sheffer, information contained
in the attack had not been verified
through the office of student af
fairs. It included “false statements
and lies,” he said.
The report was not written by
an IFC committee set up to look
into deferred living, according to
Ted Rubenstein, vice-president. I
"The committee had nothing to
do with it,” he stated.
Sheffer opened the meeting by
asking the other fraternity presi
dents present, "Are we going to
stand as a group to fight deferred
living all the way ... or con
structively work our points of view
into the deferred living system?”
Report Not Checked
Ron Lowell, Alpha Tau Omega,
added to Sheffer’s remarks about
the report, which he said had not
been checked through any reliable
source of information.”
He remarked that he couldn’t
understand how fraternity presi
dent’s could have gotten so worked
up about a document which could
be "cut to ribbons at any time.”
He called for the group to take an
affirmative viewpoint” on deferred
living.
Change Implied
Rubenstein objected to some of
the talk about what would imply
a change of heart for IFC. He
said he didn’t want anybody to get
the “wront slant,” maintaining
that, while the report had been
discussed, it had never been the
policy of IFC.
(The motion to endorse the re
port at the last meeting was
tabled. Another motion, to have
copies of it printed for distribu
tion, was withdrawn.)
Story Termed “Misleading”
Rubenstein also objected to what:
he claimed was a misleading story
about that meeting in the Oregon
Daily Emerald Apr. 17.
Following discussion and the
motion, Sheffer appointed a ten
man committee to look into the
two phases of deferred living
rushing and pledging. That group,.,
with Sheffer as general chairman,..
Gailerd Smith, Phi Kappa Sigma,.,
and Lowell Schuck, Delta Upsilon^.
as subcommittee chairmen, will re
port back at the next regular meet
ing.
