PI- ' • ge Creed
Vetoed by IFC
The Interfraternity Council last night first deleted one
sentence and then threw out the entire pledge creed proposed
by the Junior IFC.
In a meeting that lasted less than half an hour, the IFC
overwhelmingly voted clown the creed. It had been tabled
Delta Phi Votes
Beaver House
into Fraternity
Beaver House, a local fraternity
for the past 25 years, has been
accepted for initiation into Delta
Phi national fraternity.
The national convention of Del
ta Ph►, which met Saturday at
Lehigh, voted for the second time
to accept Beaver House. Delta
Phi ►equnes that approval for
initiation of a new chapter be
granted at two national conven
tions.
Thomas Buckey. former Beaver,
House vice president, said he does,
not know when the actual initia-,
Lion ceremony will take place. He
said that DAB Phi does not re-,
quire colonies as do other national'
organizations.
Buckey said Beaver House has
been considering going national
for the past four years. He said,
that Delta Phi has ideals and aims
closest to those of Beaver House
now, and is building toward the
same things as Beaver House.
He added that there were sev
eral reasons Beaver House went
national. Buckey said that a na
tional affiliation gives stability,
power and tradition not found in
a local group.
Being one of two local frater
nities on campus, Buckey said,
was a disadvantage as far as rush
ing Is concerned.

Suites Agree to Furniture Ruling
Two end tables and a coffee
table belonging to Pi Beta Phi
sorority have been in storage
since February because of an
agreement between the De
partment of Housing and so
rorities that sororities may not
buy their own suite furniture.
Otto E. Mueller, director of
housing, explained to two sorority
representatives last week that
sororities were not allowed to
buy their own furniture because
the University did not want
sorority women to have to pay,
for furnishings for their suite.
If sororities were allowed to _
furnish their suite, they could
compete during rushing on the
basis of furniture, Mueller said.
Mary Ann Light, president, and
By NEAL FRIEDMAN
at the last meeting.
The sentence deleted stated
that "it is the responsibility of
the actives to differentiate be
tween required pledge duties that
help pledges to develop into ma
ture and considerate social beings
and those that merely satisfy the
sadistic urges of the actives."
The sentence was objected to
on the grounds that it gave the
impression there actually were
"sadistic" activities and that it
defeated the public relations
purpose of the creed.
After questioning about imple
mentation and enforcement of the
creed, Cary Gentzler, IFC presi
dent said it would be up to the
creed committee to enforce it. The
creed was then defeated by a voice
vote.
Tls,e creed was originally tabled
at the last IFC meeting after it
was attacked as being "hypocriti
cal" and "unworkable." One IFC
member said that he knew of no
house on campus which followed
the creed now or would abide by
it if it were to be adopted.
Another criticism was the
vague reference to implementa
tion and enforcement of the
creed. The creed states that
"the IFC is invited to further
expand This pledge training
creed by devising its implemen
ration."
The first three points of the
pledge creed referred to scholar
ship, personality development and
pledgemanship. Items set down
here were not contrary to the
pledge policies of most fraterni
ties.
It was the last few points re
ferring to hazing, informal initia
tions held after the first two
weeks of a semester and degrading
to the individual and personal
services which probably doomed
the creed.
Paddling, hikes, lockouts, line
ups and other types of hazing
practiced in some houses also,
would have been forbidden under
the creed.

resented the sorority in the talk
with Mueller.
Jane Reed, former president,
said the sorority did not know
they weren't supposed to buy the
furniture. They were toid•by - Dean
of Women Pearl 0. Weston and a
representative from housing that
they had to get rid of it, and they
had it put into storage in the
residence hall the same day.
The agreement that sororities
would not buy their own suite
furniture was made before the
Pi Phi's got their sure. Miss
Reed said. However. Mueller •
said the sorority knew about
the agreement.
The agreement does allow a
sorority to buy its own lamps,
