Get First
AIM OK
The Association of Indepen
dent Men Board of Governors
last night approved on first
reading two proposed consti
tutional amendments.
Phillip Hines, president of the
Town Independent Men Council,
proposed the first amendment. It
calls for the sum total of all grants
to councils being divided pro
portionately to the number of stu
dents represented by the council.
Carl Smith, AIM parliamentar
ian, said the idea of the amend
ment was to formalize the prac
tice already in existence.
Smith proposed the other
amendment, which would de
lete sections 3C. 3E and 3F of
Article 5 from the AIM consti
tution for one year.
The three sections deal with
requirements of members of the
area tribunals set up under the
new Student Government Consti
tution which went into effect last
semester.
According to Smith, the three
sections were causing the area
presidents hardship in finding
suitable people to fill the area
courts because of their semester,
average and other restrictions.
The amendment deletes the sec
tions until July 1, 1960. Smith
said this should offer the needed
time to establish the judicial sys
tem.

IFC Board
Requests Open
Frosh Parties
The Interfraternity Council
Board of Control will recom
mend to the IFC Monday that
! freshmen be permitted in fra
ternities from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.
! on Saturdays.
The recommendation will be
acted upon Monday and will not
be effective this weekend, Robert
Parksy, board chairman, said,
The Board felt that present de
ferred rushing system needs to be
studied further but in the mean
time several improvements could
be made to the system, Parksy
said. One of these involved the
limitation of the social aspect of
rushing.
Fraternities could further their
rushing, without incurring great
er expense, by opening their par
ties to freshmen Saturday eve
nings. The meal-time rushing
would not be intensified, nor
would the studying time of fresh
men be affected, Parksy said. The
freshman drinking ban would still
be in effect.
In other action, the Board ac
quitted Sigma Chi and Alpha Ep
silon Pi fraternities of pledging
men without proper averages.
Sufficient evidence was present
ed by both fraternities to show
their inocence. Both pledges,,, in
volved in the discussion were be
lieved to have been pledged with

or a 2.2 previous semester's av
erage.
