In- Tottegian Senate Unit Upholds Pro For ATO The six-month social probation recommended for Alpha Tau Omeca by the Interfraternity Council Board of Control was up held yesterday by the Subcom mittee on Discipline of the Sen ate Committee on Student A!- fairs. The Board of Control probation for the fall semester of 1958, part of the board's recommendation, was also approved, and the rec ommendation for dismissal of Ed ward Long as house president was dropped because Long had already resigned. The fraternity did not appeal the board recommendation to the subcommittee. The social proba tion goes into effect immediately, and will last until 12:30 a:m. on June 4. Alpha Tau Omega received the probation penalty for serving al coholic beverages to freshmen. which is forbidden by a board regulation. The conviction was based on Long's admittance to the charge after he was confronted by reports from other fraternities that Alpha Tau Omega had been violating the freshman drinking ban. A fraternity placed on social probation is not permitted to en tertain women guests in the house at any house function. Board of Control probation places the house under social surveillance by board checkers. George Wills, chairman of the board, said the Subcommittee's decision "speaks for itself as far as freshman drinking is con cerned." The Alpha Tau Omega case. Wills said earlier, is a precedent in freshman drinking cases. In the .only other such case since the ban went into effect last fall, involving a freshman found drinking at a combined party between Kappa Sigma and Sig ma Alpha Mu, Wills said neither of the fraternities was aware ;that a freshman was being served alcoholic beverages. Students Protest But Yule Recess Remains the Same A "last-chance" petition signed by some 1800 students was presented to the Council of Deans yeNterday but the story remains the same—classes will resume 3 a.m. Friday, Jan. 3.
