Fraternities

On fraternities he said that
"fraternities should be fraternal
brotherly organizations, and
should cease to be eating and
social clubs."

"Unless fraternities make themselves
an active and viable part
of the University community,
they will atrophy and full," he
said.

Mr. Williams emphasized that
"their role must be constantly
re-examined."

Although Mr. Williams was
not entirely familiar with the
New Car Plan approved by the
student council and pending approval
by the Board of Visitors,
he said that he would be opposed
to the plan "if the punishments
for violations of the
rules would be made inflexible."
