Drinking, Grade Average
.J$yvte,ve Jordon
Junior Staff Writer
A drinking amendment, a
2.0 grade average for activa
tion and a request by Tau
Kappa Epsilon for coloniza
tion at the University were
all approved by the Interfra
ternity Council last night.
In their weekly session at
the Nebraska Union, 18 IFC
members voted for the
amendment dealing with al
coholic beverages, with four
abstentions.
The amendment provides
that no alcoholic beverages
be present in chapter houses,
that no funds controlled by
the chapter would be used for
the purchase of any alcoholic
beverage and that "fraternity
organizations shall not be
used in any manner for the
formation of house functions
involving alcoholic bev
erages." The responsibility for the
enforcing of the regulation
lies with the house president,
according to IFC President
Buzz Madsen.
Views expressed by other
IFC members included:
"The amendment would en
courage fraternities to uphold
University regulations."
"The bill will prevent 'fra
ternity' and 'drinking' from
becoming more synonymous
than they already are."
"The IFC must divorce fra
ternities from drinking to per
petuate our survival."
me rule will put the re
sponsibiUty of upholding state
law on the individual.
Members of the Council
questioned just what the
amendment prohibited. The
definition of a "house party"
came under discussion.
"The criterion for judging
if an activity is a house func
tion is 'could this have been
done without a fraternity or
ganization?' If so, it is not a
house function," one of the
members said.
"You have, as fraternity
leaders, assumed a responsi
bility to convey an attitude in
your house toward drinking,"
Madsen said. "This measure
Is a beneficial step in the
right direction."
IFC followed Panhellenic in
setting up a 2.0 requirement
for activation of fraternity
pledges in other action last
night.
The Council voted 21-1 with
one abstention to require
future fraternity members to
nave a 2.0 grade average on
the newly instituted four-point
scale.
Tau Kappa Epsilon re
New Committee
To Poll Students
Students may express their
opinions about the cultural op
portunities offered to them on
the University campus in a
poll being taken by the newly
founded ASUN Cultural Af
fairs Committee.
Gary Larsen, chairman of
the committee, said that the
committee will investigate the
areas that show lack of par
ticipation and try to offer sug
gestions to strengthen these
events.
In addition, he said his com
mittee will assist any organi
zation with a new project idea
relating to student welfare, d
the organization finds the pro
ject too large to handle alone.
The committee will handle
any project they find desir
able for students providing no
other organization is assigned
to that function.
A special area that the com
mittee will work in is church
student relations. A cultural
calendar listing all campus
and city cultural events for
each month is being printed
and distributed by the com
mittee. Kosmet Klub Tryouts . .

The time barrier from 965
A.D. to 1965 is crossed in
just 45 minutes by the Univ
ersity Theatre stage crew.
That is the amount of time
required for the stage crew
to change the set from
"Macbeth" to "Who's Afraid
of Virginia Woolf?"
Last Sunday was the first
time the characters from
"Virginia Woolf" were able
to rehearse on the Howell
Theatre stage.

Opening for the first time
in the repertory season,
"Virginia Woolf" ran for 19
months on Broadway and
was called "one of the truly

the century."
Cast members for the
University production are
Andy Backer as George,
Lita Powell Drake as Mar

and Ross Graham as Nick.
The entire play consists of

Represent Society
"None of the characters
have a last iiame, lending
support to the theory that
the characters represent
society as a whole," Rich
Maulsby, publicity director
for the Howell Theatre, said.
Described as a "blood
sport" by Time Magazine
in a review, Time added,
"The weapons are words
vicious, cruel, unspeakably
hilarious the language of
personal annihilation."
The contemporary play
won all major awards while
playing on Broadway with
the exception of the Pul
itzer Prize, including the
New York Drama Critic's
Circle Award, the ANTA
Award, the Oi.ter Circle
Award, the Foreign Press
Association Award, the an
nual Variety Poll and five
Tony awards.
Fun And Fury
Dr. William Morgan, dir
ector of the play, noted it
is "a play for adults. It is
cruel, devastating, fun and
fury. It is long. Its language
is rough and abusive. It is
cruel to actors and
audiences alike."
Technical phases of the
play are receiving finishing
touches, according to Char

tor for the play.

ate meeting.
The motion introduced by
Sen. Ron Pfeifer, was tabled
after several senators sug
gested that it is too early for
the Senate to decide what
should be done about the
drinking situation on campus.
Pfeifer said that this com
mittee should not only study
the drinking problem, if there
is a problem, but that it
should consider the drinking
laws themselves.
He stressed that he was not
sanctioning illegal alcoholic
consumption, but that he was
wondering if the drinking
laws are suitable.
"Rather than investigate
the students we need to also
re-examine the drinking laws
and see if -they are suitable
and realistic. I'm not saying
we could change the laws, but
we could find out exactly
what the problem is," he said.
Pfeifer pointed out that if

that if Student Senate actually
represents the students it
should study the problem.
He said that this commit

Sen. Andy Taube said that

could get a clear and better
defined code worked out in
all areas not only student
drinking.
Sen. Terry Schaaf suggested
that it is too early to decide
exactly what should be done
as far as the drinking prob
lems go. He said they need
to wait and see first what
IFC, does and maybe they
should not limit the study just
to drinking.
Schaaf said that the Senate
already had enough commit
tees and that there are al
ready other committees which
could handle a possible drink
ing investigation.
"Perhaps we should study
the code in general as well as
the drinking, but this problem
has such great magnitude and
importance that one commit
tee could easily keep busy on
this all year long," Pfeifer
said.
In other business at the
meeting, Sen. Bob Samuelson
explained that Nebraskans
need some type of yell to
show support for their foot
ball team. He said that Ne

when they try to answer an
other team's "imaginative"
yell with "Go Big Red."
Sen. Skip Sorieff suggested
that this yell problem be men

chance to do something about
it before Senate considers it
further.
