—The Daily Collegian Friday, March 15, 1991 IFC considers hundreds of concerns By MIKE ABRAMS Collegian Staff Writer As Monday's induction approaches, the Interfraternity Council's newly elected executive board is trying to sort through a few ideas about 300. IFC President-elect Timothy Finn said the 11 new executive officers have held meetings with individual fraternity presidents to discuss the many "hot top ics" within the Greek community. "My main goal is to start the commu nication and thinking it takes to form a strong IFC," Finn said. As a result, he said the sessions have produced "hun dreds of goals and ideas which need to be narrowed down to those which can be achieved in the next year." Some major issues facing the board anhellenic Council seeks improved communication By MIKE ABRAMS Collegian Staff Writer Confidence, dedication and grass roots communication will help the Pan hellenic Council reach its goals this year, the council's president said. "I don't see any major problems because we have stressed communica tion not only among the officers, but also between the (executive board) and the individual members a sort of All Housing CONTRACT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED ALL contract offers for Penn State's Residence Halls for Fall Semester 1991, filed by the March 1, 1991 deadline have been accepted according to the Department of Housing & Food Services. this year are increasing membership, improving Greeks' academic perfor mance and creating a new alcohol pol icy, "Membership is the bottom line," Finn said. "If we can effectively improve each of the other areas, then it will lead back to our membership. - Finn said it is important to try to keep pace with other universities that have adopted stricter alcohol consumption policies. "An alcohol policy must come from the presidents," Finn said. "It must be widely supported by the body, but we have to come up with an idea soon to remain pro-active." Last fall, IFC voted against a "Bring Your Own Bottle" policy that would have required guests 21 and older to grass-roots method of communication," President Amy Frey said. The 10-member executive board will present formal goals for the coming year at its March 25 meeting. "Right now we have had a lot of infor mal discussion," Frey said. "If I had to put a number on the amount of ideas we have right now, I would say anywhere from 25 to 100 minor and major goals." Goals include having more leadership programs, Frey said.

Finn said even though an alcohol pol icy may hurt for a few years, people will get used to the idea and in the future will see that they can have fun without an emphasis on alcohol. As a result, mem bership might increase because parents of potential members would see a Greek effort to cut back on alcohol consump tion, he added. While tackling these issues will take a lot of hard work, Finn will have the help of the board and council delegates. Brady Semmel ( junior-biology) com pleting his term as university relations chairman, will assume the role of administrative vice president. Semmel said he is working to strengthen the phi lanthropy system by being available to "The quality of leadership will only improve in the coming years if the younger members start to get involved now, - she said. "If the good leaders start to work now, they will only make the council stronger in the future." The council will also work to maintain academic standards by scheduling workshops and recognizing students with high grades. Frey said the council faces no major problems in the immediate future, but PRESENTS: Service listen to problems of each chapter's phi lanthropy chairman.

One such program is the recently approved alcohol policy that will require that one third of all sorority-fra ternity events be non-alcholic. "I have come up with a lot of ways to implement and enforce the new pro grams, but (the delegates) will have to help in creating an effective policy," Frey said.
