Visitation Rules

"That the Governing Board be
empowered to make visitation rules
for women visitors in fraternity
houses.

"That the houses, as a whole, be
responsible for their enforcement.

"That the Governing Board will
act on any reports of violation that
come to its attention, regardless of
source.

"That this authority may be
revoked by the President of the
University or his representative for
due cause.

"Any house may set limits less
than those set by the Governing
Board."

Ed Hayes, president of the IFC
noted that the motion had the
overwhelming support of the
Governing Board and unanimous
backing from the IFC as a whole.

In arguing for the proposed
extension of IFC authority, the IFC
president noted that the houses are
owned by the fraternity
corporations and any abuses would
put the burden on the individual
fraternity and the system.
