Research Wanted iFC Average- Social Pr Motion The motion ta place on so cial probation all fraternities who fall below the ill-men's scholastic average two semes ters in a row m as retabled by the Interfraternity Conned Wednesday, Last semester the all men's average was 5.S75. There were 15 fraternities below this average. The all frater nity average was 5.S4S. Fledging Role Tom Neff, who introduced the motion to table the pro .posal until final scholastic re ports come out, gave as his primary reason for retabling the motion the fact that the IPC has not had a chance to see if the 25 per cent pledging rule passed last spring has had a chance to raise frater nity scholarship. The IFC ruled last spring that only those in the mpper 75 of their high school grad uating class m-ere eligible to pledge the first semester.
