UW putting pressure
on its areek system
SEATTLE (AP)
— The University
of Washington is
hoping to cut
down on alcohol abuse and vio
lence on Greek Row this year.
When fall quarter opened
Monday, four of the Washing
ton’s 30 fraternities had signed
agreements with the school con
cerning members' conduct.
Ernest Morris, vice president for
student affairs, said he expects
all but possibly one or two of
the fraternities to submit agree
ments by the end of the week
In the past, fraternities have
operated independently of the
school. But that relationship
changed after Washington
sophomore Jennifer Won was
struck by a flying bottle during a
brawl last September. She lost
sight in one eye and has since
sued a fraternity whose mem
bers were among those involved
in the fighting.
The school's decision to insist
on the agreements came under
pressure from legislators and
residents of the area north of the
campus.
In announcing the agreements
Monday. Morris. Seattle police
Capt. Douglas Dills and Douglas
Luetjen. a Seattle attorney and
fraternity alumnus active in
talks with the university, said
they are optimistic that the new
"recognition agreements" will
end the perception that fraterni
ties are beyond control.
But they stopped short of sug
gesting the agreements are a per
fect solution.
The pacts require fraternities
to provide seven days' notice of
parties and get a banquet permit
from the state Liquor Control
Board. The permits allow
liquor-control agents and Seattle
police to enter the parties and
check for underage drinking.
Some fraternity members are
leery of the plan.
Lincoln Popp. 19. and Greg
Marguglio, 18. said sending
liquor agents into houses to
catch underage drinkers might
cause them to drink elsewhere.
Underage drinking "is going
to go on. It always has. As long
as it's controlled, it's better."
Popp said
"People got a little under the
influence, their judgment drops
off a little, but they stay in the
house," Marguglio said. "These
young people will be tempted to
go somewhere else. Then you'll
be dealing with drunken driving
and drunkon disorderliness."
The agreements also require
fraternities to provide the uni
versity with names of key con
tact pimple; to get liability insur
ance that covers both the
fraternity and the school; and to
provide acquaintance-rape and
substance-abuse education.
They are also required to obey
all of the rules and laws and to
discipline members who don’t.
Fraternities violating the
agreements can be warned, rep
rimanded. fined, required to pay
compensation to damaged par
ties. put on probation, suspend
ed. or have university recogni
tion withdrawn.
II recognition is wunarawn,
the university would no longer
provide names and addresses of
incoming freshmen or informa
tion about members' grades to
the fraternities.
Some fraternity members said
the agreements violated their
rights as private organizations
on private property.
"It’s like they're singling us
out," said Aaron Schmidt, 21. a
member of the Phi Kappa Sigma
fraternity.
Schmidt said he realizes
many of the rules originated
with insurers, saying, "It's up to
the insurance group. It's not
really the university's place.”
Chris Nelson, 19, and Justin
Mak. 19. of the Theta Chi frater
nity, agreed the pacts violate the
rights of fraternities, but expect
they'll be signed anyway.
"The pressure the UW is giv
ing the fraternities is pretty
intense." said Nelson.
