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. An

Neff explain that be felt
this mould be more thai
enough t raise the all fra

the poor scholars from the

Another point brought out
in favor of the motion to table

factory measure could be
adopted.
Study Each House
It was suggested t h a t the
scholarship committee go so
far as ta .study the scholar
ship program of each indi
vidual bouse in their research
on the problem.
IFC president Gary Cad
wallader read a letter from
Dean Colbert asking co-operation

charges made by the Nebras

The Admmistrators charged
that fraternity and sorority
rushing practices have caused
local, social, community and I

The letter stated that be
cause the University planned
to investigate the charges
did not necessarily mean that
they agreed with them.
