The 3.08 sorority grade point average surpassed the all-women 2.99 GPA. But sorority average grades fell below the 3.13 average GPA after Spring Semester. Fraternity men's grades aver aged 2.74, while the all-men aver aged 2.77. The fraternity GPA rose over Spring Semester's average of 2.71. Panhellenic Council President Lisanne Farach said she was pleased at the report because grades are given the "highest priorites." "Good grades are always recog nized at all chapter meetings," Farach said. At last night's PHC meeting, Greek Life Coordinator Rick Funk recognized the top three sorority chapters that had the highest GPAs after last semester. Alpha Phi sorority, 1 Wolf, placed first with a 3.24 GPA and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, 10 Wolf, and Sigma Delta Tau sorority, 1 Shulze, tied for second with a 3.23 GPA. Kati Wiggins of Alpha Chi Ome ga sorority, 101 Hibbs, was also happy with the results.

We get a bad rap for not taking school serious ly," Wiggins said. Interfraternity Council Presi dent Bill Donato credited an aca demic consultants program for the rise in the all-fraternity GPA from the spring. Donato said the pro gram involves members who serve as study and test-taking consul tants throughout the Greek com munity, helping students address their difficulties and finding tutors when needed. The differences between the fraternity and sorority averages may be caused in part by the dif ferent living environments, Donato said. Penn Linder, treasurer of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, 408 E. Fair mount Ave., said he was disap pointed that the all-fraternity GPA was lower than the all-University men average. "Being a fraternity member puts a lot of responsibility on you," Linder said.

Fairmount Ave., was first with a 3.05 GPA, Alpha Epsilon Pi fra ternity, 501 E. Beaver Ave., was in second place with a 3.01 GPA, and Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, 238 E.

Clinton identified the new potential foes only as "the grim pretenders to tyranny's dark throne the militant nationalists and demagogues who fan suspi cions that are ancient." Clearly, he had in mind such ultranationalists as Vladimir Zhi rinovsky of Russia and other extremists who showed strongly in the election last month of a new Russian parliament. Their success may be a reaction to the hardships President Boris Yeltsin's reform programs are heaping on the Russian people.
