IFC submits proposal
to stop pledge hazing
by Andy Cunningham
Junior Staff Writer
The Interfraternity Council
IFC) Executive submitted a
nledee education contract to
: IFC representatives Wednes
day for discussion.
The proposed contract
would oblige signatory houses
to pledge they will not use
physical or mental hazing
during the course of their
pledge program.
Sid Logemann, president of
IFC, said the contract would
provide IFC with a means of
enforcing rules that already
exist in Its constitution and
by-laws.
"The ban on physical haz
ing is not a new measure,"
Logemann pointed out.
Offers incentive
IFC's purpose in presenting
the contract, according to
IFC Secretary, Dave Bun-
tain, is not to create a po
lice foi-ce which would con
trol a house's pledge train
ing program.
Buntain explained that IFC
is offering the contract as an
incentive towards the adop
tion of a more constructive
pledge education program by
those houses which still have
physical hazing.
Among the six provisions
embodied in the contract is
-a measure allowing an IFC
representative to observe the
pledge education program in
a particular house and to
-question its pledges concern
ing their pledgeship at anyj
time.
the study hour clause when
the final draft of the contract
is presented as a motion at
the next IFC meeting.
In particular, Guretzky ex
pressed concern about how
the clause would affect the
formal dinners, meetings and
instruction sessions which
pledges in many houses at
tend Monday nights.
The Pi Kappa Phi represen
tative also noted that as the
study hall clause now stands,
it can be construed to mean
three and a half hours study
time any time at night.
Guarantee study time
' Fraternities subscribing to
Ihe contract would guaran
tee their pledges a minimum
of three and one half hours
of undisturbed study time
Sunday through Thursday
nights.
Jim Guretzky, from Pi
Kappa Phi fraternity, asked
the IFC executive to clarify
Quiet hours stated
The study clause also states
that the signatory house will
guarantee quiet hours from
dawn until daybreak in cer
tain designated areas of the
house Sunday through Thurs
day nights.
The proposed contract is
essentially the same one now
in effect at Indiana Univer
sity, according to Buntain.
included in the contract's
definition of hazing are mor
ally degrading or humiliating
activities, late work sessions,
the creation of excessive fa
tigue, paddling, psychological
shocks, calisthenics and phy
sically or mentally discom
forting activities carried on
outside the house.
Gary Periman, from Sigma
Alpha Mu fraternity, told the
IFC Executive that he object
ed to the inclusion of calis
thenics in the definition of
physical hazing.
Impossible to differentiate
"It is sometimes impossible
to draw the fine line between
physical hazing and calis
thenics. This is why we were
obliged to list calisthenics in
the definition," Logemann
said.
Guretzky asked the .execu
tive if the section of the haz
ing definition pertaining to
activities carried on outside
4 Art for Life' sponsors
Lutheran student choir
the house included sneaks.
Logemann specified that
sneaks did not constitute phy
sical hazing, explaining that
the clause referred to forced
hiking trips and the like.
Houses subscribing to the
contract would also agree not
lo impose any activity on
their pledges which would
bring unfavorable criticism
to their fraternity or to the
fraternity system.
Teach University history
tract states that, in aamtion
to chapter lore, the formal ed
ucation program of a fratern
ity will include history of the
University and of the Greek
system.
A violation would prevent
the house from renewing its
contract the tollowing year
and would bring notification of
the nature of the violation to
the attention of the fratern
ity's alumni and national
headquarters.
Fraternities subscribing to
the contract would be allow
ed to display an IFC cerfi
ficate indicating that IFC has
certified that house's pledge
program.
Glaude Bolton, from Kappa
Alpha Psi fraternity, argued
that the limitations im
posed by the contract would
eliminate most aspects of
pledgeship.
Honor system mentioned
Asked by Bolton to provide
an example of a constructive
kind of pledge program, Loge
mann mentioned the honor
system.
Logemann explained that
some houses on the Nebraska
campus were using such a
program, under which pledges
bind themselves on their hon
or to fulfill certain duties.
If the pledge fails to com
plete his duties under such
a system, a board of review
discusses the matter with him
to try and help him evolve a
meaningful concept of respon
sibility, Logemann said.

man and would be assisted by
a committee consisting of
three congressmen, two Court
of Appeals members, and
two Cabinet members. Mem
bers of the key committee will
be announced at the next Con
gressional meeting, she said.
Congressmen approached
the problem of the Lincoln
gap, concerning nonaffiliated
Lincoln coeds, as they dis
cussed the AWS ORientation
Program.
Congressman Mary Lynn
Nelson suggested specific
dorm rooms could be used for
Lincoln girls.
Questions were raised con
cerning the power of the two
vice presidents to propose legislation.
According to Miss Baker,
these executive members
members have a voice in the
proceedings but they have no
vote. As a matter of expedi
ency, they have been given
the power to present legisla
tion, she said.
Congress approved the fol
lowing appointments: Cricket
Black, Workers Chairman;
Jan McGill, Public Relations
Chairman; Jana Miller, sec
retary; Jane Sitorius, treas
urer; and Christie Schwartz
kopf, key chairman.
At their next meeting, April
11 at 3 p.m., Congressmen
will discuss changes in the
AWS handbook.
Choice '68 poll voting
to coincide wiih ASUN
Balloting for Choice '68 will
take place on Wednesday in
the same areas as the ASUN
Student Senate election polls.
Choice '68 is a nationwide
election in which college stu
dents will express their pref
erence of candidates for the
presidency of the United
States.
"Choice '68 is more of a poll
than an election because it is
trying to find out different po
litical trends rather than
'electing' one candidate,"
Phil Bowen, member of the
Coordinating Committee on
Choice 68, said.
The ballot includes a 1 i s t
of 13 national figures, an
nounced candidates and un
announced possibles alike.
Students will choose three
in order of preference and
will have the possibility of
writing in one candidate for
their first choice.
In addition to the presiden
tial ballot, there are three
questions on major issues for
which students will be able to
choose one of four possible
solutions.
The first question asks the
student to choose what course
of military action should be
followed in Vietnam.
"What course of action
should the U.S. pursue in re
gards to the bombing of North
Vietnam? reads tne second
question.
The last question concerns
the urban crisis in the U.S.
Posters and other supplies
have arrived from the head
quarters of Choice '68 in New
York and will be out Friday,
according to Bowen.
Alpha Phi Omega Honor
ary Society will, according to
Bowen, sponsor a symposium
featuring speeches by repre
sentatives of the major can
didates.
Listed on the Choice '68 bal
lot are Fred Halstead (Social

The CPA often hunts for answers
in wild new country. He's constantly
trying to solve problems that have no
pat solutions. He needs conceptual
imagination and conviction and
guts. He may have to defend his an
swers (like a tiger) when he thinks
he's right.
The demand for CPAs is growing
fast. Whether they are in independent
practice or part of the top manage
ment team of a company, they are
taking on increasing responsibility in
financial and business affairs.
You can select the college courses
that can help you earn a CPA certifi
cate soon after graduation. Or you
can take them in graduate school.
Ask your faculty advisor about them.
If you'll drop a card or note to us,
we'll be glad to send you a booklet
with the whole CPA story.
