Offers ing Plan d a special plan to the 18 a special fraternity housing leted by next September, ac Council president, Tommy housing have been a problem -sity, and a special plan that raternities by next September ald Russell at a meeting last Thursday. At a special meeting Tuesday, IFC argued for over an hour whether or not to accept the plan, but held off voting until more information could be secured. Typical Problems Among the more important is sues brought up were these three: (1) Housemothers. Would chap ter rooms have to be chaperoned at all times girls were present, or would girls be permitted to visit during the day, were typical ques tions asked Tuesday. (2) Rent. The university has not yet proposed rental costs for the social and chapter rooms which would be located on the ground floor of the new buildings. (3) Policy towards moving off campus. Several fraternity rep resentatives said they wanted to know if fraternities would be allowed to move off campus after once settling in the proposed new buildings. The members of IFC were to submit these and other questions concerning housing to Rowland, according to a motion passed Tues day, and Rowland was to present the questions to university offi cials. Majority Vote Blading It was understood that a major ity vote of the fraternities would bind all the fraternities. If the organizations vote against accept ing the proposed new housing, regular men's dormitories would be built instead. The site is on the property acquired and cleared by the university last year, ad jacent to the Freshman Center and bordered by Devine, Sumter, and Blossom Streets. Two fraternities, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Nu, have moved off campus this semester and several other fraternities have expressed interest in moving off soon. Provisions for the 13th fratern ity are to be made later with one of the off-campus groups con tinuing in their present quarters until that time, provided the plan is accepted by the fraternities. Proposed Building The proposed new building would be in the shape of a quad rangle and movable partitions on the upper floors would enable expansion or contraction of rooma space in'each fraternity's section, according to the needs of the individual fraternities. Other business in the meeting concerned changing the time for stunt night, awarding trophy. for Homecoming Day displays, and the upcoming National IFC Con ference next month. A motion made by Bill Todd to hold stunt night next semester instead of this semester was passed. Instead of awarding trophys for Big Thursday displays, IFO voted to make displays for the Home coming game with Maryland. Sev eral fraternities announced plans to have displays both days. IFC voted not to send represen tatives to the National ITO Con ference next month.
