students protest
with dial tone
(CPS) - Disgruntled
Allegheny College students,
claiming administrators were
making key decisions without
their opinion, took their revenge
by stopping their efforts to call
alums for the Pennsylvania
school's annual fund drive in mid-
February.
As a result, the fund drive
failed to reach its the goal.
"This was something we
could hit (the administration)
with and be sure they'd take
notice," student government
president Todd Milenius said.
Student government members
voted to stop helping the college
after the officials, hoping to save
money, abruptly disbanded the
school's wrestling team without
warning February 12.
Over the past two years, the
administration announced it
would require students to live in
dorms, changed students' physical
education requirements, switched
from quarters to the semester
system and banned a fraternity
from campus.
Student leaders maintain they
were never consulted about the

through the first week of
Allegheny's annual fund drive, in
which volunteers call alums
asking for the donations.
As a result, the school got
only about 70 percent - or
$42,000 - of its original goal of
$60,000 during the first week,and
canceled the second six days of
the effort.
"Students do have an
important say in policy matters
at this institution,” responded
college President Daniel
Sullivan.
But students disagree. Among
other things, they want the
wrestling team reinstated and
changes in the way decisions arc
made.
"We want a more equal
decision making process between
faculty, students and
administrators,” Milcnius said.

National fraternities and
sororities ban pledging
(CPS) - In one of the biggest
boosts to the national effort to
end hazing, eight more grcck
organizations said they would ban
their pledging rituals starling
next fall.
Two other national
fraternities, Zeta Beta Tau and
Tau Kappa Epsilon, banned
pledging last fall, and a host of
national organizations, including
the National Interfraternity
Conference and the American
Council on Education, have urged
changes in the pledging process.
Now eight more sororities and
fraternities have announced they
would stop making their pledges
go through all "activities" except
their initiation ceremonies.
"There shall be no 'pledging'
or 'pre-plcdging' process in any of
the constituent organizations,"
said a statement released Feb. 17
by the Council of Presidents,
made up of Omega Psi Phi, Phi
Beta Sigma, Kappa Alpha Psi
and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities,
and Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma
Gamma Rho, Zeta Phi Beta and
Alpha Kappa sororities.
"Hazing is a problem
everywhere," admitted Roy
Watson, an Alpha Phi Alpha at
the University of Alabama in

Tuscaloosa, "but in our fraternity
we don't condone it."
Filmmaker Spike Lee, whose
"School Daze" featured numerous
scenes of fraternity hazing,
wanted it taken a step further.
During a speech at Moorchousc
College in Atlanta, he called on
his alma mater to ban fraternities.
Last term, freshman Joe Harris
died of a heart ailment aggravated
by hazing rituals at the school.
Thirty-one states have passed
laws banning hazing - different
kinds of mental and physical
abuse inflicted on people as a
condition of joining some kind of
group - but deaths and injuries
from hazing have continued. In
the greek setting, it's generally
limited to men's fraternities.
Most recently, three Florida
A&M University students who
were arrested Feb. 19 for
shoplifting told authorities the
thefts were part of a fraternity
hazing ritual. University officials
are conducting their own
investigation. If found guilty of
hazing, the students could be
expelled and their fraternities
could lose their campus charters.

University of Florida in
Gainesville, a student trying to

It can also be more serious.
More than 40 students have died
in the past due to hazing.
