Debators End Schedule
The University debate
squad completed its tourna
ment schedule for the semes
ter last weekend.
During this semester the 22
members of the team have
participated in 159 debates
with students from schools
all over the nation. Members
of the squad have traveled to
all surrounding states on
week-end debate trips.
According to Dr. Donald 0.
Olson, debate coach, the
squad has won approximate
ly 60 per cent of the debates
this semester. He added that
usually the percentage of de
bales won for the University!
is about 67. One reason given
by Dr. Olson for the lower
amount of wins is the broad
ness of this year's debate
topic. The topic for this year
was "Resolved that the Non
Communist nations Should
Establish an Economic Com
munity." Next semester the debate
squad will travel to tourna
ments at Northwestern, Ne
braska Wesleyan, Wisconsin
State College, Notre Dame,
Iowa State, and the Delta
Sigma Rho progressive tour
nament. A large debate tour
nament will be held here
February 22 and 23.

tify the situation, the council
and the University can freeze
the funds of the group, deny
the use of University facili
ties for meetings of the or
ganization or take disciplin
ary action against it.
The probation, however, is
only a warning and does not
restrict the organization until
further action is taken
against it by the Council.
In other business, Council
recommended that students

Student Affairs Restricts
Greek Depledging Means
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) was notified last night
that a man depledged from any fraternity may not be
repledged by the same house in the same semester in
which he was depledged.
A letter from the division of student affairs, said tnat
depledging" means that both the fraternity and the
pledge have made a sufficiently conscientious effort to de
termine whether their relationship is mutually desirable
and have decided that it should be terminated.
John Nolon, president of the IFC, said that many fra
ternities were depledging men with low averages to keep
them from being figured in with the house average, and
then repledging them after the house averages were tab
ulated." Nolon labeled this practice "hypocritical and a
shame."

i The second in a series on the Stu-
1 dent Council Report deals with the Stu-
dent Interest, Public Relations and Pub-
lie Issues areas.
I The Student Interest areas deals di-
rectly with students and problems of stu-

- under the chairmanship of Dave Scholz,
has the authority to approve or disap

t organizations. This year it has considered
4 eight constitutions, approved one and re

The elections committee supervised

The activities committee is responsi-
1 ble for maintaining the quality of exist-
1 ing organizations and is under the chair
manship of Steve Honey.

the campus will begin next year.
The Student Council Associates is a
group of interested non-council members
who sit on Council committees in an ad
visory capacity. Under the direction of
Susie Moffitt, chairman, they were nom
inated from their living units, on the ba
sis of one nominee per 55 students to
be interviewed.
The public relations area deals pri
marily with publicizing the work of Stu
dent Council and polling the level and
substance of student opinion.
Steve Christensen heads the campus
opinion committee which is now in the
process of polling students to determine
their knowledge of Student Council and
their opinions on various issues.
The public issues area has two main
goals: to stimulate students to take an
active interest in issues which do not di
rectly concern them in their roles as
students and to encourage the expression
of student opinion on these issues.
Chip Kuklin, chairman of the public
issues committee, reported that they
have sponsored the mock student elec
tion and the debate between Governor
Morrison and Republican candidate Fred
Seaton.
Kuklin reported that they are now
making plans to send a delegation to the

held in St. Louis, Missouri, March 27-30.

The University's Interfra
ternity Council (IFC) present
ed a report which outlined
the goals,, accomplishments,
services and future plans of
its organization at the recent
National Interfraternity Coun
cil convention in Pittsburg,
Pa.
Since the idea of an inter
fraternity organization was
conceived late one night in
1902, the responsibilities o f
the Nebraska IFC have grown
and its objects broadened.
According to the report,
"The IFC's basic purpose is
to build a better fraternity
system by serving as liaison
with the campus, community
and state, and by standing
alert, prepared to meet the
present and future need of
Chi the member fraternities."
Since the re-orgainzation of
the IFC in 1961, areas in fra
ternity finance, expansion,
pledge training and scholar
ship have been added to the
traditional committees
on rush, public relations, ju
Members of Theta

a result of this action, the
majority of the fraternities
are now receiving the bene
fits of bulk purchasing.
The report also explains
the newly-acquired IFC re
sponsibility of enforcing the
rules affecting fraternity ac
tivity set down by the Uni
versity administration. "The
responsibility for insuring ma
ture action on the part of the
system rightfully should be
given to that system itself,"
the report' states.
The IFC has taken another
step in serving the fraterni
ties in the area of pledge
training supervision and im
provement. Pledge Manual
Dividing the 24 member fra
ternities into five groups to
discuss mutual problems and
solutions, the IFC hopes to
compile a pledge manual
based upon the experiences of
each fraternity.
The five groups, which are
divided according to relative
size and mutual interests, will
also attempt to solve prob
lems affecting their fraterni
ty. Combining the immediate
need for respectable pledge
scholarship with long range
improvement of the overall
fraternity scholastic standing,
the IFC has given full atten
tion to the ways and means
of accomplishing this goal.
Toward this end, the schol
arship committee has initi
ated several projects designed
to point up trends in the aca
demic progress and to make
each chapter aware of the
value of scholarship in the
overall fraternity program.
General Services
In addition to the IFC's ob-
vious functions in preparing
and accomplishing the pro
grams pertaining to Rush
Week and open rush through
out the year, many general
services aid the member fra
ternities. Working in such special ar
eas as Homecoming, civil de
fense, intramurals, member
ship clauses in national fra
ternity constitution, scholar
ship awards, dinner e x
changes, memorial scholar
ships, seminars on pertinent
fraternity problems, and pub
lishing rush books are some
of the many areas the IFC
serves the greek system, the
University, and the general
community.
Although the services which
the IFC renders to the Uni
versity and the community
are, for the most part, in
tangible, the future of t h e
IFC remains concrete and full
of vitality.
According to the report, fu
ture plans are summarized,
"In a rapidly changing Uni
versity community, it is vital
ly important that the frater
nity system keep pace with
its environment and be pre
pared to meet new and con
tinued challenges. The recent
activities of the IFC demon
strate the response to these
challenges in the 1960's."
"In planning for the future,
the IFC is determined to re
main flexible enough to meet
changing conditions, strong
enough to face intolerant re
action to the fraternity ways
of life and active enough to
continue the rich tradition
that is inherent in the word
'Fraternity,' " according to
the report.
