Panhellenic Suggests
Greek Week Changes
By Sally Ryan
EmaraM Ahochk Editor
Panhellenic Thursday night
accepted Greek Week but with
reservations which would change
the purpose of the week anti most
of Ita events.
Three officers of Panhellenic, '
President Carol Wenner, Secre-!
tary Janet Flatland and Treas
urer Olivia Tharaldsen, will meet
with three representatives from
Inter-fraternity council to work
out final plans and details for the
week, which will be presented to
a Joint meeting of the two Greek
organizations for their final ac
ceptance or rejection.
Considered IFC Plans
Under consideration were the
preliminary plans for Greek
Week, as outlined by the IFC
Greek Week committee.
Vigorous objections were made
to the purpose of Gre<-k Week as
stated In the outline. A motion
made by Dorothy Kopp, senior
in English. to reword the stated
purpose passed without dissent.
Strongest objections were made
to the clause “to elevate the
Greek houses and put them a
little apart from the rest of the
campus in something besides the
once a year elections and rush
ing.”
Discussion centered around
keeping the week as simple as
possible. Final decision was to
make the ‘‘week’’ one £<y, Sat
urday, April 2.
Panhellenic suggested that a
picnic lunch be held on campus
Saturday, followed by both
men's and women's athletic con
tests and a street dance Saturday
evening.
The IFC proposal called for a
two-day affair, starting with a
picnic dinner Friday evening, fol
lowed by a street dance. They
also suggests! Saturday after
noon athletic contests and a for
mal dance Saturday night in the
Student Union ballroom.
IFC’a suggested favors for the
dance, miniature hack paddles
with "U of O, Greek Week," and
the date on them, alao received
a rap from the sorority repre
sentatives, who voted to elimin
ate the favors on the grounds
that they "were not representa
tive of Greek living."
Earlier IKC voiced the opinion
that the approval of Greek Week
by Panhellenic was necessary to
make the week successful. They
also suggested calling for pe
titions for chairman of the week.
The chairman would be selected
by a screening committee and
by a vote of IFC.

"ALL THE MEWS . . .
Emerald Reporter Told
To Leave IFC Meetina
By Bob Robinson
Emerald Assistant News Editor
An unwillingness to keep out
news of any of the happenings
of the Thursday night meeting
of the Inter-fraternity council
resulted in Emerald reporter
Pete Taussig, being asked to leave
the meeting.
Taussig objected when the
council informed him that he
would not be able to print every
thing that went on at the meet
ing.
“Anything Newsworthy”
"As long as I am covering IFC
meetings for the Emerald, I will
report anything I consider news
worthy,” Taussig told the coun
cil.
IFC President Pete Williams
retorted that although “Emer
ald reporters are welcome to our
meetings, there are times when
matters we discuss, if published,
would not be for the welfare of
the campus as a whole. There
fore if the Emerald is going to
take the alteri ative to print
everything that goes on in our
meetings, we will have to ask
their reporters to leave.”
. I Left”
"I was not willing to stay
under the condition that I sup
press any news of the things
that went on in the meeting,”
Taussig said, “so I left.”
When queried about the mis
understanding, Ray Hawk, di
rector of men’s affairs and ad
viser of the group, said that:
IFC for Campus Welfare
“Sometimes things come up
in our meetings that are best
kept from the campus as a
whole. Although IFC is a self
interest group, we feel that we
are working for the welfare of
the campus as a whole and not
just our own group.’’
The discussion of Emerald re
porting came up mainly as a
result of a story by Taussig of
the group’s last meeting. At this
meeting the IFC took a stand
on the WRA Carnival which they
didn’t want reported at that
time. Taussig reported the inci
dent in his story the next day.

their trophies during the intermission at the Saturday night basket

weekend, will award the trophies.
The sign contest has been changed to eliminate some of the
work that has gone into the signs for previous big weekends. The
signs will have no decorations or pictures, but will consist of a
rhyme, slogan or verse and be judged on originality, relevance to
the theme, and neatness.
Judging will take place Friday at 4 p.m. Judges are Ted Brown,
Eugene chief of police; K. E. Montgomery, associate professor of
speech, and Helen Soehren, assistant professor of English.
