David Shields, assistant dean
of student services, said the
presidents of Alpha Sigma
Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau and the
Panhellenic Council approached
him with objections to the
performance.
He said these representatives
felt the act that Sigma Theta Chi
performed did not depict women
in a positive way.
Leigh Stanesic, president of
Sigma Theta Chi, said she
received a letter notifying her that
the objections would be discussed

awards as Campus Leadership,

at the meeting of the Panhellenic
Council held last night. Stanesic
said according to the letter she
received "A judicial board is not
being called."
"I hope ittan be straightened
out, we thought we did really
well," said Stanesic. "We felt it
was done in good taste."
The objections are based on
the stipulations of the code of
conduct in the Panhellenic
constitution "which says we
must have dignity and good
manners," said Stanesic.
Shields said that "hopefully
this will be a learning experience
for all. I think the sororities in
