Pre-Initiation Code
Amendments Passed
By IFC Presidents
Two amendments to the proposed pre-initiation practices
code were passed by fraternity presidents at a special meet
ing of Interfratemity Council held Sunday night.
The amendments were:
1. In regard to pre-initiation
practices, no requirement shall be
made of pledges outside of the
fraternity house or off the
grounds which will be of such a
character as to prove detrimental
to the fraternity system.
This amendment replaced part
two of the original code which
stated that all pre-initiation prac
tices be restricted solely within
each fraternity house, excluding
“Help Week" practices
Amended for Clarification
The group felt the amendment
was necessary to clarify the in
tent of the original wording, since
there was some question as to
whether activities such as pledge
trips would be allowed.
2. A minimum of eight hours
a day be provided for the purpose
of sleep and/or study during per
iods of intensive periods of pre
initiation practices.
The amendment replaced part
four of the original code which
stipulated that a minimum of five
hours for sleeping and three hours
for studying be allotted each day
during periods of intensive pre
initiation practices.
The amendment was made so
that the eight hours of free time
could be allotted while leaving
the division of time between
studying and sleeping up to indi
vidual fraternities and pledges.
Original Code Tabled
The amended code will be pre
sented to the regular meeting of
IFC next Monday. The original
code was presented at the last
meeting, but was tabled so that
representatives could discuss the
matter with their individual frat
ernities.
Carpenter told the presidents
that neither IFC nor the admin
istration is attempting to inter
fere with fraternity activities. He
said the object of the code is to
form a working basis to curb
what he termed unnecessary pre
initiation practices which are
harming fraternity public rela
tions.

letter. He decried the “absolute
lack of any real fire protection
for more than 80 students who
occupy the top floor of each
building six hours a day.”
In the current issue, out today,
he comments:
“We hope that those people who
are in position of authority will
consider the fire hazards of En
ginering A, B, and C worthy of
future consideration. We, the
students, wait while you people
of authority gamble with our
lives for another month.”

“There’s so much room that

major, said.
Visitor Likes HUB Too
Mrs. Evelyn Powell, a campus
visitor from Wellsville, N.Y., ex
pressed satisfaction with the HUB
ballroom. “The building itself is
on equal par,” she said, “and I
feel it is certainly worth the $7.50
a semester we parents are pay
ing,” she said.
Donald Olexa, sixth Semester
chemical engineering major, was
found sprawled out in one of the
chairs in the reading room. “I’m
tired from walking,” he said.
“This place is really huge.”
Office Space Criticised
One of the students interviewed
questioned the justification of al
most total office space on the sec
ond floor of the HUB. Joseph
Mazurkiewicz, graduate student
in psychology, said, “I seriously
wonder if all the office space is
warranted—it seems to me that
the HUB is for administrative
purposes more than anything.”
