n n an mi fly By BOB IRELAND News Editor The Faculty Committee on Stu dent Affairs voted Friday to allow the Interfraternity Council to rein state its annual IFC Ball, tentative ly scheduled for Saturday night, May 18, at the Turnpike Ballroom. Action came after almost two hours of discussion Friday involv ing members of the committee and executives of the IFC. In a prepared statement, the Siident Affairs Committee stated that they had "voted to allow the Interfraternity Council to hold an IFC Banquet, and also to hold an IFC Ball on a weekend at the Turn pike Ball Room. The Committee statement con tinued that the following stipula tions concerning the IFC Ball were to be fulfilled: 1. IFC must obtain a signed statement from the management of the Turnpike that the manage ment will cooperate with the University with respect to Univer sity regulations governing social affairs. , 2. That the IFC will provide po lice for the dance. 3. That the officers of the in dividual fraternities will sign a statement of agreement to help police the dance. IFC executives Dick Reische, president; Charlie Fike, vice- presi dent; and Bill Dahl, treasurer, presented the council views to the Committee, which met in open session at Ellen Smith Hall. Council president Dick Reische stated that he felt all fraternity presidents would support the de cision of the Committee on Stu dent Affairs wholeheartedly. "Action will be taken if fratern ity members start to drink at the dance," Reische added. Dr. Bertrand Schultz, faculty ad visor to the IFC and a member of the Student Affairs Committee, stated that the Council wished to show their good faith by staging a successful dance in compliance with University rules. During Friday's discussion which preceeded the , committee's deci sion, Reische stated that the IFC would be willing to sign a pledge of good faith with the student affairs office. Dean of Student Affairs, J. P. Colbert, stated that he "felt the committee has shown by its actions that it stands ready to work with the students at all times helping them develop a satisfactory social and activity program within the framework of the laws of the state and rules of the University." Reiche and Dahl met with the Committee on Student Affairs March 4, at which time discussion was also held concerning the pos sibilities of reinstating the dance. The IFC petition to the Commit tee called for the dance to be part of "fraternity weekend, involving an IFC Banquet Thursday night at the University Club, and an open-house dance Friday night, sponsored by the Junior IFC." The privilege of having an IFC Ball was taken away from the Council in 1955 by the Office of Student Affairs. Last fall the IFC unsuccessfully pettiioned the Office of Student Affairs asking permission to havt the annual dance reinstated.
