No More 'Spoils System'
For IFC Presidents
Way back when we were a lowly freshman we
remember standing in front of the Comer Room
and watching a gleaming white-tired convertible
glide by with an immaculately clad little fellow
at the wheel.
“That guy,”'a knowing friend informed us, “is
the president of IFC, and he bought that car out
of his rakeoff.”
Our informant went on to explain that this chap
had gotten the job through politics and had dons
practically nothing for the thousand-odd shekels
he received. Which, we agreed, was something
less than cricket; and we decided that some day
we would write an editorial branding the whole
IFC situation.
This is—or could have been—that editorial.
Fortunately, IFC beat us to the jump by washing
Us hands.
Reforms long overdue —regular audit of Inter
fraternity Council’s books, bonding of the secre
tary-treasurer, authorization by the Council.of the
payment of all bills—have been instituted. These
and other progressive measures are set down in
the new constitution which is being considered for
adoption by the Council.
There is little doubt that the new constitution
•will be adopted. The only provision seriously
contested is Section 10 of the By-laws, which pro
vides that the president and secretary-treasurer
of the Council shall receive $lOO apiece for their
services. A substantial group thinks they should
receive no compensation whatever., And this is
the same organization which so recently allowed
its executives to make off with funds running into
four figures!
Times have changed.
The Collegian is not greatly concerned as to
whether Interfraternity Council’s officials are
paid a definite salary or whether they are paid
merely in prestige. Perhaps, in view of College
policy of compensations, it is only fair to grant
IFC officers some gratuity. On the other hand,,
perhaps they are amply rewarded through their
expenses-paid jaunt to the national IFC conven
tion and through the honors of their position. This
is the stand of the Association of Fraternity
Counselors.
We are content to let IFC settle this problem in
its own way. The vital interest of the Collegian
is in the strict continuance 6f the Council’s~new
anti-graft policy. No organization can function
as a credit to itself and to the College if it is dom
inated by gentlemen interested chiefly in personal
spoils.
Interfraternity Council is still a far-from-per
fect organization. With the reform of its finan
cial set-up, however, it has taken a long forward
step.
IFC. is no longer in the market for convertibles;

Scholastic Prayer
I’m needing dough
To make a go
Of- life’s unending struggle.
Without this boon
Life’s out of tune,
No sweet coed will snuggle
Within my arms. -
Bereft of charms
And domed afar to wander—
My presence scorned
I'll die unmourned
If all my cash I squander.
Oh, give me fame
And cause my name
To echo down the ages—
A handsome face,
And easy grace,
A place among the sages.
But, dear old fate,
at any rate
To my purse be kind and gentle,
Relieve my woe
With scads of dough,
For cash is fundamental. .
