Defeated the proposed pre-initiations code by a vote of 25 to 22 with 2 abstentions. 2. Unanimously approved,the amended IFC constitution. 3. Heaxd final nominations for IFC officers for the com* ing year. The pre-initiations practices code was defeated with little dis cussion. The code included five provisions: 1. That the IFC establish a standing committee to investigate all complaints arising from pre initiation practices. 2. 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. 3. That the term Help Week be substituted in place of the term Hell Week in all written docu ments. 4. That a minimum of eight hours a day be provided for the purpose of sleep and/or study during periods of intensive pre initiation practices. 5. That resolutions two through four be incorporated into a perm anent pre-initiations practice code. 1 Those who spoke against the code felt the wording was too gen eral and would allow too strict interpretation by IFC in the fu ture. They also felt passage of the code would set a precedent for IFC to interfere in the internal affairs of individual houses. Both John Carpenter, IFC president, and John; McMeekin, chairman of the committee which drew up the code, expressed disappointment at its defeat. The major change in the new IFC constitution provides for the establishment of a fraternity af fairs office in the Hetzel Union Building. This office. would act as a coordinator for IFC activities. Before it is official, the consti tution must be submitted to the Senate Committee on Student Af fairs. The candidates for IFC offices for the coming year include: President: Robert Bullock, Del ta Tau Delta; Charles Folkers, Phi Kappa Psi; Donald Reidenbaugh, (Continued on page eight) Political Candidates Begin Campaigning Campus, Lion, and State political parties are beginning their heavy campaign schedules of taking their candidates to fraternities and donnitory units.
