FC: Pledge Trainers
Need To Heed Times
By Dave Buntain
Junior Staff Writer
Fraternities have "sat
around too long and told
themselves lies "about
pledge training, Ron Pfeif
fer, Phi Delta Theta pledge
trainer told the Junior In
terfraternity Council (IFC),
Tuesday night.
Pfeiffer and three other
iuiernity leaders discussed
their views of pledgeship
and pledge training at Jun
ior IFC forum. The panel
also included John Kenagy,
Phi Gamma Delta; Wayne
Kreuscher, Theta Xi; and
Gary Larsen, Beta Sigma
Psi.
"Fraternity men are
caught in a rut of complac
ency," Pfeiffer said. "They
are satisfied to step into the
mold that old fraternity men
have left for them. Pledges
are not getting the variety
cf experiences the Rush
Book says they will get."
Among the areas under
attack by the panel were
traditional attitudes, pledge
education and physical haz
ing. "The fraternity system is
IDA Constitution:
Date Set On Vote
By Mark Gordon
Junior Staff Writer
A revised Interdorm As
sociation (IDA) constitution,
proposed by the Interdorm
Coordinating Committee
(IDCC), will be voted on by
dormitory residents on Feb.
21 and 23.
On Feb. 21 residents of
dormitories presently on
the IDCC (Women's Resi
dence, Pound, Cather, Ab
el, Sandoz, Burr West, Burr
East, Love Memorial and
Fedde Halls and Selleck
Quad) will decide if they
are to become members of
the IDA and also if they
desire an election on t h e
proposed constitution.
If at least two-thirds of
the dormitories agree to
those measures, they will
hold another election on
Feb. 23 to decide the fate
of the constitution.
The constitution provides
if at least 30 per cent of
the eligible voters vote, a
simple majority would rat
ify the constitution or an
affirmative vote of 15 per
cent of the eligible voters if
less than 30 per cent of the
eligible voters vote would
also ratify the measure.
In the event the residents
vote not to hold a ratifica
tion election, the constitu
tion will be returned to the
IDCC for further study. If
the measure is ratified, the
IDCC will disband, as it
was established simply to

hidebound in traditions,"
Kenagy pointed cut. "There
is a different type of indi--vidual
coming to the Uni
versity now. Tha fraterni
ties are not changing with
him. We must develop an
attitude toward pledge
training that is geared to
him."
Pfeifer agreed, "Frater
nities have yet to prove that
they are a genuine aid" to
scholarship. I look forward
to the day when we can say
to pledges, 'You're here for
an education and we'll 1 e t
you go after it on your own.
We're here if you need any
help.' "
Turning to the area of
physical hazing, Larsen
said that if a fraternity can
not justify membership in
the house without assigning
push-ups, then "somebody
has failed you."
"It hardly takes any
brains to give a guy 25 push
ups," Larsen said.
Pledge training is the
basis of the fraternity sys
tem year after year, Pfeifer
noted.
"It is far too easy for a
draft a satisfactory consti
tution that residents would
accept.
Although the constitution
was defeated six to four by
the dorms in an earlier vote
during first semester, IDCC
Chairman Jim Ludwig fore
sees ratification of, the bill.
"I think the constitution
will be ratified as it is more
complete than when it was
first voted on," he said,
"There have been changes,
not changes in philosophy
but changes in organization.
That's what the people who
opposed it the last time
complained about."
Reflecting back to the
first election, Ludwig said
he will try to eliminate the
past objection of insuffici
ent publicity concerning the
constitution.
If the constitution is ap
proved, the residents of all
dormitories .will be mem
bers of the IDA. Dorms
that voted against the bill
will be members also.
Representation on the Inter-Dormitory
Council
would be set up as fol
lows: The representatives shall
be selected from the dormi
tories on a fixed ratio of
one voting representative
for each 250 Association
members or fraction of 60
per cent of the ratio and
every dormitory shall have
at least one voting repre
sentative.

he added.
"You are the Greek sys

minded Junior IFC mem
bers, "And your pledge
classes will have the largest
unified voice in your active
chapters once you are acti
vated." "Pledges are in the per
fect position to influence
their chapter toward a more

Architects'
To Design
City Plans
A program of coopera
tion has begun between the
University of Nebraska
School of Architecture and
Nebraska towns.
Students of Dr. George
T. C. Peng, associate pro
fessor of architecture, are
assisting Nebraska towns
in long-range community
planning and urban design.
Already published are plans
for Henderson, D e s h 1 e r
and Falls City. Work has
begun on plans for Danne
brog, DeWitt, Emerson and
Elwood.
The students' services
will soon be utilized by
Omaha and Lincoln, Dr.
Peng said.
The 15-20 students in
volved are enrolled in cours
es in urban design and com
munity planning at the Uni
versity. Dr. Peng said the
program of working with
town and city planners
gives the students a chance
to move from the realm of
theory to the realm of the
practical, the real.
Dr. Peng fields requests
from towns for help in
planning their growth.
When possible, he assigns
student teams to work with
the planners in the town.
But he has to turn down
some towns because of lack
of students or distance in
volved. One town which was not
turned down is Henderson.
Two new streets have
been opened. Total park
area is being increased
from one-half acre to 71
acres. All the streets have
been improved. A new in
dustry has located there
(exactly where the students'
plan called for one).

Peng said, is student help

"In clarifying my belief
that the increase in tuition

this does not include out-of-state

Schaaf stated that stu

"If we show that the stu

"He is asking for the raise
in tuition as a political
move," Schaaf said.
Schaaf said this feeling is
based on the fact that a $100
increase in tuition would
only raise $1,700,000 a year,
which when compared with
the present state expendi
tures of ninety-one million
dollars, is "only a drop in
the bucket."
Concerning the proposed
merger of the University
with OU, Schaaf said, "I
am not presently convinced
that the merger is in the
best interest of the Univer

not the Legislature
approves enough money to
facilitate both the merger
and the accomplishment of
the programs outlined in the
proposed University budg

"If enough money is n o t
granted to cover both of
these factors, I believe that
the merger can only be dis
advantageous to the University."
