PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion, A Panhel for Pledges A recommendation j was made by the PariheUenic Workshop Sunday to establish a Junior Panhellenic Coun cil —an advisory body to the Panhellenic Council com-* posed of sorority pledges which would operate along the same lines as the parent organization. ' We fed such an organization would directly benefit' the sorority system at the University. The function of a Junior Panhel would’ be to coordi nate the pledge classes of each sorority on campus in much the same way as the Panhellenic Council now coordinates all of the chapters. : •. It would draw pledges into the active operations of sororities besides giving them an early insight into the problems and projects which confront sororities. , ~ A Junior Panhel would provide an excellent training ground for future leaders of sororities and the Panhellenic Council. : ; ' I ’ Early training offered by this organization would pro- vide invaluable background knowledge that would enable future Panhel members to form 1 rational, well-founded opinions on sorority matters. This would, in the long run, .‘make for a stronger Panhellenic Council than present. ' _,j. . Besides benefiting the members of a Junior Panhel lenic Council, this subsidiary organization could be used to definite advantage by the Panhellenic Council. Pledges who would compose the organization would have just completed rush and, consequently, would be able to offer fresh Ideas for revisions in the next rush program. By discussing important issues confronting the Pan hellenic Council, Junior Panhel could be a valuable source of recommendgtions for the senior organization. We feel a Junior Panhellenic program set in operation after the formal rush i period in January could j operate effectively until tys pledge members were initialed into their respective sororities—“probably at the end of. the spring term. * A Junior Panhallenic Council was established in 1960 but disbanded because the group felt that they did not have a purpose. We feel such a group could have a very ’definite purpose by training arid coordinating pledge classes and thereby providing for a strong Panhellenic ii?the future.

As soon as they were built,’some body would call the Collegian and request a picture of it. Of course there were the mii chievious boys who felt called upon to knock these creations down.

Or, the law may grant an explicit im munity, of which the boro of . ficials are ignorant. ' However, of perhaps greater importance is the question of voting eligibility land taxation.
