Contract debate . . .
Pledge education issue
provokes IFC dissent,
Wednesday night's Inter
fraternity Council (IFC)
pledge education seminal1 be
ccme a debate over the pre
sentation of certificates to
those bouses signing the con
tract. The IFC panel of George
Knight, Phi Delta Theta; Gene
Hohensee, Delta Upsilon;
Doug Peter, Beta Sigma Psi;
Dave Piester, Beta Theta Pi;
and Fritz Hohenberg, Phi
Delta Theta opened the discus
sion to questions from the
floor.
The majority of the ques
tions came from a group in
the audience who questioned
the, right of the IFC to is
sue a certificate to the fra
ternities signing the contract
on the supposition that this
would force those houses who
do not favor the contract to
sign it also.
Dick Campbell, Delta Up
silon, outlined the pledge ed
ucation contract which was
recently passed by IFC by a
vote of 15-6 at the outset of
the discussion.
Campbell repeated that the
contract was neither a law
nor regulation subject to en
forcement by IFC, but rather
a suggestion that campus fra
ternities move in the direc
tion of a progressive pledge
program.
If all but one house does
not sign the contract, it will
appear that the house sup
ports the very program which
is condemned in the contract,
Knight said.
Knight, who said he sup
ports the contract, said he
feels the rushee shoud see this
certificate because they prob
ably have had no previous
concept of a pledge program.
The majority of the houses
on campus should not be pen
alized by being refused a cer
tificate just because the mi
nority do not want one, Ho
hensee said.
The IFC has been pres
sured by the administration
and general public to change
pledge programs, and it is
time that the houses feel this
pressure, Hohensee noted. He
added that if only a few
houses sign the contract, the
Greek system is on the right
track.
'It irks me that the houses
who have done the least on
campus are criticizing the
IFC," C. B. Schultz, profes
sor of geology, said in defense
of the contract.
Senators from East Campus
voice failure to communicate
- by Darrell Petska
Junior Staff Writer
Between 16th and 33rd
streets, there is somewhere a
break in communication, ac
cording to the senators of
East Campus.
The biggest problem facing
East Campus students is their
inability to become associat
ed ith City Campus affairs,
c o'm m e n t e d John Wirth,
ASUN senator.
Wirth stated that city stu
dents are equally guilty of the
lack of communication, and
ignorance of students on both
campuses towards those on
the; other has much to do with
this relationship.
Students reel removed
Most East Campus students
feel removed from the main
issjieg that concern ASUN, for
most of these Issues do not
seem to directly affect them.
This is so because they are
located on East Campus.
Possible legislation that will
dltectly affect East Campus
students is being developed,
as free bus transportation for
Agriculture students, plus
polling committees that will
gather complaints, so that
main criticisms can be
studied.
'Few students come
However, Wirth noted a
problem of collecting opinions
from students in his college,
and said, "Few students
come to us, so we have to go
to them."
Hindering student - senator
relationship if the problem
that students do not know
who their senators are. One
senator commented that stu
dents in organized living units
are more aware of their rep
resentatives, but this is often
due to the campaigning per
formed in these units. Most
off-campus students have the
student newspaper as t h e i r
only means of becoming
aware of their senators' ac
tivities. Cited as an aid to commu
nication, senate resolutions
have been introduced at least
two weeks prior to action, so
that senators can research
the proposal and vote more
in accord with student opin
ion. Concerning opinions stu
dents do have, many of these
show no awareness of the
necessary channels through
which issues must progress.
If no concrete results be
come apparent, these s t u
dents automatically point to
a lack of progress.
"Many students fail to real
ize the problems ASUN has
had to come to grips with.
For the first time, the senate
became actively involved in
student rights, student wel
fare and educational issues."
Student government before
tended to become bogged
down with "food in dorms"
or parking problems, and of
ten failed to act on issues
that were of more value than
the more superficial issues.
Of utmost importance to ag
ricultural and all students
was said to be the Student
Academic Freedom docu
ment, for it will form, if ac
cepted by Faculty Senate and
the Board of Regents, the ba
sic outline around which all
student rights will revolve.
The senators felt that most
students fail to realize this is
the most important issue
ASUN has passed in its his
tory. Because few students
are aware of its importance,
students are being urged to
study the document and en
courage faculty members to
accept the proposal.

These are big city school children. They are partners
of all who try to build and keep our cities alive with hope
and promise of personal dignity. If we fail these partners,
they will fail, as finally will we all.
To the Bell System, they also are customers and,
prospectively, many are fellow employees. Those we hire
will bring with them attitudes and skills prcduced by city
life and city schools. Their qualities will help shape the
quality of our service. And service is our product.
Bell System companies and people are increasingly
engaged to help meet the problems of the cities, especially
those concerning education and employability.' In these
areas our skills and other business resources may have
extra value. We shall try to keep our deeds outrunning
our words.
