IFC Proposes
Grade Studies
Study Tables Possible
For Fraternity Pledges
Freshman pledges who did not
make their midterm grades will
find themselves busy at study
tables on school nights, the In
ter-fraternity council decided
Thursday night.
The proposal made by Presi
dent Pete Williams to obtain
mid-term grade reports of
pledges to determine their
“study status’’ was unopposed.
It was also suggested by the
IFC president that senior ride
rules be reviewed to the various
pledge classes so that no misun
derstandings would result
through ignorance of laws.
The "ride” rules set up by the
IFC are as follows:
1. A student may never be
taken alone.
2. No alcohol is permitted.
3. The student cannot be tied
up.
4. He must be completely
clothed.
5. Students must be permitted
to keep their wallets.
6. There will be no disfigure
ment of the student.
7. Participants cannot leatfe
the state of Oregon.
Violations of these rules will
lead to tribunal action, Williams
pointed out.
Discussion was held on the
house president and dorm coun
selor’s retreat scheduled for this
weekend. Topics of mutual prob
lems and a proposal for a Greek
week will be the order of busi
ness.
