Semester Review
Deferred Rush Plan
Causes IFC Strife
The Interfraternity Council's deferred rushing plan en
countered its first serious opposition this semester resulting
In a close inspection of the system's merits and faults by
the fraternity men.
Those against the plan insisted that it had not accom
plished its intended goals and
was detumental to the preserva
tion of a sound ft atei nity system
at the Univeisity
"Most fi atermties have not
experienced a duel ease in ex
penses under the plan; the first
semester freshman avei ages have
not shown appreciable improve
ment; and there has been in
creased isolation of fieshmen
from the fraternity sys t e m."
James Alexi, president of Phi
Kappa Sigma, said speaking
against the plan.
Many of the fraternity men
argued that the plan had not
been in effect long enough to
give it a fair trial. They be
lieved that a "closed" system
of rushing was the best way of
operating a rushing program.
"Three years have been spent
in di awing up the plan and it is
still in the expel 'mental stage,"
Don On , IFC rushing chairman
said
At an IFC meeting on Nov. 9
the IFC voted on whether or not
to di op dcferied rushing The
council voted 33 to 20 in favor
of ictaining the plan.
