men study, why two of the frosh
dorms were at the bottom of the
campus grade list.
At this point, Donald DuShane,
director of student affairs, took
the floor to answer his questions.
Grades Rising
DuShane pointed out that for
the last three years, both fresh
men and fraternity grades have
risen. Admitting that the question
was a “tough one to answer,” Du
Shane continued by pointing out
that this year, for the first time,
fraternities held fall term rushing.
However, he did not believe the
grade drop to be the fault of the
fraternities. Some of the pledge

classes made very good grades,
be said.
The low grades are a source of
concern both to the Inter-Frater
nity council and the office of stu
dent affairs, he said. He added
that 47 percent of the Greek
pledges did not make a 2. GPA,
but 40 percent of the unaffiliated
men did not make their grades
either, he said.
• Cooperation Paying Off
DuShane also said that this
year, for the first time, one as
pect of the program is beginning
to pay-off. This is a combination
of help from both fraternities and
sororities and from the counselors.
“Students are more loyal to the
University and their classes now,
and no less loyal to their houses,”
DuShane said.
He also offered an explanation
for the two dorms below a 2. GPA.
Freshmen grades are always low,
but the class GPA is becoming
higher each year they are in
school. DuShane said. He also
pointed out that there are no up
per classmen in the dorms to help
raise the hall GPA.
Some of the men present ex
pressed the belief that the low
grades might have been because
the men did not apply themselves
to their study. The counselors
agreed with this, pointing out that
in high school, many of the stu
dents did not have to work for
their grades.
