The vote was not biodins and no record was kept on how the individual farternities voted, Sas said. THE MAIN ARGUMENT given by the fraternities against par ticipating in a float parade at Homecoming was that the-mem bers would not have enough time to prepare adequately for their alumni who will be returning that weekend. David Whitsett, Phi Kappa Psi president, said that few alumni would be back in time to see the parade. Those who would return in time would pzobably not be able to fuld any place to stay overnight if they have not made reservations by now, he added.
