Residential College Plan

Ron Hickman presented a plan
for a residential college system
at the meeting. The plan, is detailed
and lengthy, will be studied
by the Council representatives this
week and will probably be approved
at next week's meeting,
which will be the last of the year.

The plan entails a number of
residential colleges of about 500
students each, for second, third,
and fourth-year men, A second-year
man entering a college would
hopefully remain there the rest of
his college career.

Mr. Hickman felt that the residential
colleges and fraternities
would not be "mutually exclusive."
He said that the fraternities
would cease to function as
eating and living facilities and
would become social clubs.

He added that the Inter-Fraternity
Council should begin an investigation
into this as a part of
the plan.
