The recently ratified constitution gives more power to the council in matters pertaining to the fraternities. The inter-fraternity council ac cepted at its last meeting a plan to give awards for various achievements, the first of which will be the presentation of a lov ing cup at the Carolina-Clemson game to the fraternity having the most appropriate display or ban ner with reference to the tradi tional grid clash. This will in no way interfere with a like award presented b'y the Boosters club. The council will also conduct an intra-fraternity intermurals program, including basketball, football, softball, and with the possible addition of other sports, giving a well rounded sports program.
