3-3-3 Denies Houses
Relaxed Visiting Rule

No change in the female visiting
hours for fraternities was
made by the 3-3-3 committee in
its meeting Tuesday.

"They wanted us to set up
administrative framework," said
Ed Hayes, president of the Inter-Fraternity
Council yesterday.
"They were hesitant to extend
the hours and very reluctant to
open up new areas."

"They want to ensure that we
will enforce the hours and have
some setup to keep the system
under control," he added.

"I think there are many reasons
why the hours should be
extended and rooms opened up
for visiting," he said. "It would
make living in the houses as opposed
to apartments or dorms
more desirable, improve the
houses' financial status, and make
fraternity life more attractive in
general.

"Any student who has a date
should be able to bring her over
to the house on weeknights or
weekends, and should be entitled
to some privacy. Fraternity
houses serve as a social center,
and by restricting the privileges
there we are restricting student's
social lives."

"We own our fraternity houses
and pay for their upkeep, and
should have the right to set our
own restrictions on using them,"
he added. "We have often demonstrated
that we are responsible
enough to set up and administer
our own rules."
