M»df with Trndtr Loving Care 11l S, Pugh St. By PAT DYER inselors and individual house iong the suggestions made to tic standing by the Scholarship ity Council Encampment held in September. The main problem is to devel op the proper attitude toward scholarship in the individual houses, Jerry Logue, workshop chairman, said in commenting on the report. ‘‘There is a possibility that an enforced academic program may be introduced if the fraternity av erage doesn’t improve,” he added. Last spring. the fraternity men's average of 2.40 was be low the all-men's average of 2.41. ! Experimentation with faculty scholarship advisors or “live-in” scholarship advisors such as grad uate students was recommended as part of a general program to improve the standing of the var ious hoyses. A set of 30 questions has been; distributed to each of the fra-; ternities to aid them in develop-; ing a stronger scholarship pro-; gram, Logue said. These ques tions deal with practices within: the house and incorporate many, ideas suggested by the workshop,; ite added. I No over-all scholarship pro- j gram with penalties for en- j forcemenf was considered by j ihe workshop, Logue said. j However, some sorf of enforced ! program may become neces- j sary, he added. ' j At present, fraternity scholar ship practices vary widely within; the various groups, he said. Most; houses have a strong pledge pro gram with required study hours. Most groups also have house quiet hours, he added. It is hoped lhat the 30 ques-; i lions-will lead the houses to ex amine their own system, he said,: and if a suitable and effective pro-; igrnm is worked out, it will be’ miade available to all the members' of IFC. i There were 97.910 forest fires in the States in 1959 one fire every five and a half minutes.

Under a recent SGA law Elections Commission has been allotted $7OO of SGA funds to handle the pur chase of all radio time and printed posters for student government elections. A Lib eral Party petition to repeal the law has resulted in SGA stat ing its official disapproval of the petition because it “misrep resents the law.” As a result of this petition, signed by three per cent of ihe student body, a referendum will be placed on the ballot for the coming elections. The final decisions whether to retain or repeal this law, therefore, will be left to ihe students. How ever, at least 20 per cent of ihe student body must vote in ihe election to make any decision on the referendum valid. A simple majority could repeal the law. Since the law is now in ef fect. it will be enforced during the coming election. Elections Commission will use $3OO of the appropriation to publicize the candidates of all three par ties on a common poster and will purchase all radio time. The parties will be permitted to CLASSIFIED AD STAFF MEETING FOR NEW MEMBERS 7:00 4070 CAMPUS SHOPPING CENTER UMV-::.;:S:;;.,;II.a:',:c.I.W.:iiiii4Zeii:IiiiIC:.Z4.TIRWELIWZIZZESZIKA assess their candidates $3 to pay for incidental expenses. SGA President Richard Ha ber, in expressing his support of ihe law said yesterday, "The most important thing in the elections is the people running and not the publicity." Walter Darran,, chairman of University Party, defended the law against accusations that using this money was misuse of student funds. Each time that SGA funds are allocated, he said, they go to special interest groups. For example, he con tinued, SGA gives money to Leadership Training, the Inter- College Council Board and to each of the four classes. Darran explained that it had formerly cost an individual Si 5 to run for an Assembly seat and between 525 and s4o_ io run for a class or SGA office. This fee had to be paid, he said, whether the candidate won or lost. “This is asking people to pay their way to help the stu dents,” he said. Many qualified students, he added, are pre vented from running because they simply cannot afford this fee. Darran, responding to the argument that this law will weaken the parties, explained that control of election funds by student government is not an innovation. The exact amount which parties could spend on elections, he said, was regulated up until the fall elec tion of last year.. BUSINESS OFFICE TUESDAY.
