MONDAY, SEPTEME3ER 11, 1950 AIM Starts Third Year On Campus The Association of Indepen dent Men, now in its third. year of operation, is composed of all male undergraduates not affiliat ed with a fraternity. AIM will be working this year under a new constitution which sets up a board of governors composed of the presidents, vice-presidents, secretaries, and treasurers of the four men's dorm councils. The four councils ^rep resent the Nittany, Pollock Cir cle, West Dorms, and downtown living areas. Also included on the board will be the officers of AIM and an extra representa tive for every 500 independent men. New officers for the board of governors, elected last semester, are: Richard Bard, chairman; William Zakor, vice-chairman; 'Richard Mills, secretary; and Howard Fitting, treasurer. In the last school year, AIM sponsored many independent men's activities, including sever al house-parties• for independent men and their dates on bia b week ends. The group also had a Moonlight Promenade in front of Old Main in the Spring se mester, sponsored an all-College hike to Mount 'Nitt a / I y, and or ganized its own dance band to play for independent men's dances. • The constitution, revised this year by a committee under Wil liam Norcross, has reorganized AIM completely. During the first two years of the organization, there was an AIM council com posed of about 70 elected repre sentatives from the four living areas of the independent men. This year the board of gover nors will be a smaller body, which, according to Robert Davis, past president of the coun cil, will make for more efficient cooperation among members. It was found in previous years that the council was too large a group to hold efficient • discussions of problems of the independent men. The new board will have 31 members and the chairman will be AlM's representative on All-College Cabinet. Functions of the board of gov ernors include determining poli cies and programs concerning more than one council. The board may not interfere with the right of 'any dorm council to determine its own policies and programs so long as it is not detrimental to the whole group of independents. TEtr. DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Fraternities To Begin Rushing, Pledging Activities Shortly Fraternities soon will be busy rushing and pledgi,ng new stu dents under the provisions of the rushing and pledging code. Formulated last year by a committee composed of members of the Interfraternity Council, the Association of Fraternity Counselors, and the dean of men's office, the code provides for rushing of both Ifreshmen and upperclass men in Ithe fall semester. However, fresh men cannot be pledged until some time in the second semester, while upperclassmen can be pledged starting 43 hours before classes begin. In the code, upperclassmen are defined as any members of the sophomore, junior or senior classes. A fraternity may invite an upperclassman to live in the chapter house providing that he does not have a dormitory con tract. Neither freshmen nor up perclassmen will be permitted to live in chapter houses until their dormitory contracts have been fulfilled. Officers of IFC are Harold Lein bach, Pi Kappa Phi, president; Curtis Wessner, Phi Kappa Psi, vice-pregident,; and Alan Uhl, Delta Chi ; secretary-treasurer. ' May Not Interfere Rushing is prohibited from in terfering with regular Orienta -1 tion week activities, and neither rushees nor fraternities are obli gated to each other in any way. I There is no limit to the number ' of fraternities that may rush a student. 1 , No student with • less than an average of 1.0 for the preceding semester can be pledged, and only students receiving resident instruction on the campus may be pledged. If a rushee breaks his pledge, he may not remain in any fraternity house overnight nor be pledged by any other fraternity for 30 days. This does not apply to pledgeships dissolved 'by the fraternity. IFC, composed of representa tives from each of - the social fra- 1 ternities, possesses the power to investigate and punish infractions i of the rushing code. In addition to regulating rushing, IFC acts as a governing body for fraternities WELCOME to PENN STATE - and Friendly Service at Fred's Restaurant S. Allen St. and distributes information.
