Pledge Training Violations Debated
IFC Moves to Closed Session:
Panty Raid Scare
The Interfraternity Council
(IFC) moved into closed ex
ecutive session Wednesday
night following officer and
committee reports.
According to the Executive
Council, the reason for the
executive session was to con
sider several important mat
ters and to review situations
in a formulative discussion
effort
President Don Ferguson
first read a letter from E. C
Dewey, president of the IFC
Board of Control. The letter
stated in part, "It has come
to my attention that rumors
are going about the campus
relative to a spring Tanty
raid.' This sort of activity
is definitely undesirable and
is generally fomented and
spearheaded by the more ir
responsible and juvenile stu
dents ... the several frater
nity houses on the campus
(should be warned) about
the danger of any of their
members participating in
such an activity."
The 1955 'panty raid" was
mentioned and it was indi
cated that the fraternity sys
tem received favorable light
at that time because it 'was
not overly involved as were
Lincoln high schools, Lincoln
Air Force Base personnel
and the dorms.
Proposed Plans
The several proposed Stu
dent Council reorganization
plans were discussed, and
two members of the IFC
voiced disapproval of one
such plan which appeared in
the Daily Nebraskan
Wednesday, April 5, as it
would tend to lower Greek
representation and leader
ship available through the
same."

representee, in commenting
on the ideas connected with
representation of the Student
Council, stated, "The main

to receive better opinion
from closer contact with stu
dents. The college represen
tation plan does not offer the
contact with students which
can obtain effective student
opinion.
""We've got to raise the

tinned Ellerbusch. "It is of

points to Greek ineffective
ness. There is no need to be

can survive a lower ratio of

Ferguson urged the IFC to
attend the final reorganiza
tion committee meeting
Thursday night He an-;
nounced that the Executive
Council had decided to sup-'
port the college representa
tion plan with an elimination
of activity representation.
Statement
Ferguson then read and
and elaborated on a state
ment dealing with the criter
ia which the IFC Executive
Council will follow in deal
ing with violations of the IFC
rules, regulations, and by
laws. The statment read:
"1. The Executive commit
tee shall receive any written
or verbal complaint against
any fraternity for infractions
of the constitution, by-laws
or rules.
'Z. The Executive commit
tee will then take the follow-
ing steps:
a. Investigate and review,
the facts of the case with
the fraternity involved and'
other sources as may be;
necessary.
b. After examining the is
sues, the committee will take
such action as it may seem

The Nebroskon
i Irving Dilliard, former edi-
I tor of the editorial page of
the St Louis Post-Dispatch,
was the speaker for the meet
ing. As an authority on the
U.S. Supreme Court, he spoke
en "Are We Undermining Our
Noted
with the Constitution of the
IFC.
c. All actions shall be re
ported immediately to the In
terfraternity Council as a
whole.
d. Appeals shall be in ac
cord with the Constitution
of the IFC."
Two reported violations of
the pledge training code
were announced by Fergu
son. The action of the IFC in
each instance was a severe
warning to each house in
volved. The first violation con
cernd a violation of the rule
confining pre-initiatioa activ
ities to the chapter house.
The fraternity involved re
portedly sent their pledge
class to a sorority house in
an effort to obtain the
"measurements" of the
young ladies on the house
roll.
Stopping Cars
The second violation, in
volved the same rule,
stemmed from an incident in
which the pledge class of the
fraternity concerned was
stopping cars on a public
road.
As the action was found to
be a part of the ritual of the
national fraternity, Ferguson
asked for all houses to check
their existing ritual and by
laws against IFC regulations,
so that waivers can be
granted for conflicting legis
lation. In closing Ferguson com
mented on six main areas
which the IFC has concen
trated action during the past
two months.
He listed the revamped
committee system, an ac
tivated" Greek Week, im
proved public relations, lm-
proved relations between
houses, the IFC office ex
expansion, and next summer
and fall's rush program as
areas in which considerable
progress and improvement
have been shown.
There will be three heats and

No Support
Three men will carry two seated secondary men on
their shoulders and the last man will sit on the shoulders
, of the secondary men, with no support other than bands
allowed throughout the pyramid construction.
The traditional chariot race will consist of four fra
ternity men pulling, while the sorority girl of their choice
will compete in the finals.
- The women's egg race will be run over a 151 yard
course and requires three runners from each sorority.
Eggs will be placed in the first runners mouth and in
each elbow with the arms crossed. She must transfer the
eggs to the second runner, who, likewise, transfers the t
eggs to the third. A team will be eliminated for running
off the track, breaking another runner's eggs or breaking
all of their own eggs.
One contestant from each house win participate in the
.women's tricycle marathon, riding a tricycle forward 50
yards and then backwards 25 yards.
Participants
Miss Moffitt said, "It is the hope of the Greek Week
Committee that each house will include as many different
'irticipants as possible in these events and contribute to
support and spirit needed to supply a climax to the
k Week activities. We want the houses to keep in
