Top Scholar Reaches
8.992 Overall Mark
An over-all average of

an impossibility to most stu

top scholars have proved
again this year that the feat
can be accomplished.
Heading the I i s t f the
cight-or-better average is
Alfred Witte, Jr., a junior in
the Coilcje of Engineering
and Architecture.
This 25-year-old married
student has a grade average
for 85 hours of 8.992, less
than a tenth of a point from
the perfect mark of 9.
His last semester's feat
of all nine's for 17 hours
elevated him to top of the
scholastic heap.

goes to Wilbur Hass, senior
in Arts and Sciences who
has an average of 8.847 for

IFC Modifies
Three-fourths
Pledging Rule
By John Hoerner
Nebraskan Reporter
The upper three-fourths
pledging rule was modified
by the Interfraternity Coun
cil Wednesday night.
The new ruling makes it
possible for men to pledge a
fraternity if they made an
80 or better average in high
school even if they weren't
in the upper three-fourths of
their class.
The former IFC ruling
made men in the lower quar
ter of their class ineligible
to go through rush week or
to pledge first semester.
The ruling applies to incom
ing freshmen this year, pro
viding a special appeal is

On Beanies
Intraferternity Council pre

he had had several questions

showed that the ruling by the
IFC last spring designated
only freshman pledges as
those required to wear the
hats.
The red beanies, sold by
Innocents Society as their
major form of income, must
be worn until the first snow
fall or until Nebraska wins
its first home football game

Rush Week
Vice president John Glynn
reported that 366 out of the
401 men going through rush
week this year pledged fra
ternities. This was consider
ably fewer pledges than in
previous years, but a higher
percentage of the men going
through pledged.
Glynn estimated that ap
proximately 110 men were
eliminated by the upper three
fourths rule.
Concern
Glynn's report touched off
a discussion in which lrC
members expressed concern
over the small percentage of
eligible incoming freshmen
who went through rush week.
Some felt that mis-informa-
tion or lack of information
was the main cause of the
seeming low interest. Others
stated that modification of
out-dated pledge training pro
grams and an increased em
phasis on scholarship was
needed.
Steps Taken
Several houses indicated
that they had already seen
the need for this action and
appropriate steps had been
taken.
While no IFC member
would give a specific state
ment to the Nebraskan, the
general feeling was that
something was needed to be
done to increase freshman in
terest and they were going
to do it.
IFC president Gary Cad
wallader stated that much of
the work on this project could
be done in the IFC standing
committees public rela
tions, scholarship and rush
ing. Any interested fraternity
men may make application
for membership on these and
other IFC committees by
September 25.
