No. 30 IFC De Meets The Interfrater the stiffest opposit dinner meeting at James Alaxi, opposition to the pl 'Vote' Stand Unchanged By Cabinet The Student Government Association Cabinet restated last night that it favored ap pointment of subd}dinate class officers by respective class ad visory boards. The recommendation was in re lation to a proposed amendment to the SGA Constitution which states that class presidents, vice, presidents and treasurers be elected by the members of each class; that each class president hold one of the Assembly seats provided for in the constitution; and that each vice president shall be the president's official alter nate on Assembly. Cabinet's action came after a report by Donald Clagett, chair man of the Standing Committee on Student Legislation, on that committee's Sunday night meet ing where the bill was discussed. In other business, Cabinet dis cussed a report of the Student Encampment Workshop on the Effects of University Expansion on the Student Body. Cabinet decided it would urge the SGA Assembly to delete a sec tion of the report that states: "The University should adopt a quar ter system of scheduling the aca demic year." Cabinet felt the recommenda tion was unnecessary since the University has made an extensive study into the problem and is considering the trisemester sys tem of scheduling instead. Cabinet also urged deletion of a recommendation which would provide for facilities in the Hetzel Union Building for the Inter-Col lege Council Board. ICCB Presi dent David Epstein said his or ganization had all its needed fa cilities and required no more. lop' Seniors Involved Regulations on 'soo' Courses Conflict By NICKI WOLFORD The University has three conflicting rules on whether or not "top notch" senior students can take 500 courses for credit, Arthur D.

Phi Kappa Sigma, led the' asons why he thought deferred rushing should be dropped. According to Alaxi, most fra ternities have not experienced a decrease in expenses under the plan; the first semester freshman averages have not shown appre ciable improvement; and there has been increased isolation of freshmen from the fraternity sys tem. ' The deferred rushing has hurt fraternities by depleting their ranks while the overall size of the male student population has increased, he said. He stated that in the face of these prob lems the fraternity system has " become "complacent." David Espenshade, president of Delta Tau Delta, supporting Alaxi's statements, reported that last Wednesday the rushing chair men's workshop had voted in fa vor of throwing out deferred rushing by a 29 to 3 straw vote. Don Orr, IFC rushing chairman, pointed out that three years had been spent in drawing up the deferred rushing plan and that it was still in the experimental. stage. He suggested that the plan, be retained with modifications to the pledging dates. Wilmer Wise, assistant to the dean of men for fraternity af fairs, urged that the council should not hastily vote out the plan without - consulting the other individual members of the fraternity houses. The discussion was tabled un til the next meeting. Gary Gentzler, IFC president, announced the selection of Rich ard W. Moyer as Junior Interfra ternity Council president. The first meeting of the Jr. IFC will be held Monday evening for the election of a vice president and secretary-treasurer.
