Top Scholar Reaches 8.992 Overall Mark An over-all average of eight or more may seen an impossibility to most stu dents but the University's 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. 2nd Spot The second-ranking spot goes to Wilbur Hass, senior in Arts and Sciences who has an average of 8.847 for 111 hours.

Absence Clause Rogge cautioned council members that the absence clause of the council constitu tion would be rigidly enforced this year. The constitution declares that no member may have ! more than six absences from council meetings per year. Of these, three must be excused before the meeting.

Insurance Information Roy Laudon. personnel direc tor of the University will speak to the council concern ing student health insurance at next week's meeting.

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 Cadwallader Questioned On Beanies Intraferternity Council pre sident Gary Cadwallader re ported Wednesday night that he had had several questions concerning wearing of bean ies. Checking of the records 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 Oxford Study Sound Good?

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.
