RULES TO BE DRAWN UP BY COUNCIL
IN COOPERATION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
5. The Student Council feels that these rules will rectify whatever activities may have
occurred to cause the recent action by the Visitors and requests that these be approved by the
Visitors. If this is done the Council WILL ENFORCE THESE RULES. Further, there follows in the next
paragraph how this enforcement will be done and it is further illustrated on the attached diagram.
6. It is the intention of the council to have the Interfraternity Council as a subordinate
body to work under the council in dealing with problems that arise concerning fraternities. Under
our plan the fraternities will undertake the enforcement of these rules themselves and violations will
be judged by the Interfraternity Council. HOWEVER, any and all action taken by the IFC shall be subject
to review by the council. Or, rather than subject to review, it WILL be reviewed and wherever
the punishment if any is felt to be too lenient or harsh as the case may be it will be readjudged by
the Student Council.
7. The groundsmen will not be called upon by the council to ever enter fraternity houses
unless there is a disturbance that warrants such an investigation. Rather, the groundsman will report
to the council any irregularities that he observes and the council will order the house concerned
to appear before the IFC for a hearing. The IFC will then deal with the house as a whole with the
action reviewed by the Student Council. In the case of individuals involved they will be attended to
by the Student Council just as any other student under the groundsmen plan. This will enable the
council to keep control over all student conduct wherever it may be and will establish the IFC as a
subordinate organ accountable to the Student Council for its actions.
8. It is earnestly believed by this council that this plan will rectify any and all undesirable
incidents that may have a tendency to occur.
Mr. Gay expressed the view that the statement of the Student Council should be answered.
Whereupon the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED that the communication received from the Student Council be returned to it
with the following statement: that the Board of Visitors will not consider any communication addressed
to it which has been previously given to the press.
