Aspects Of Recommendation

Faculty Consideration

Monday the University Faculty will le asked to
consider several recommendations which could
have a rather drastic effect upon the social organiza- tions at UK. We would like to present a few as- pects of the situation which we believe it should
take note of before reaching a final decision.
Since the University has the right to charter so- cial organizations, it. of course, has the right to
impose certain standards which they must maintain.
But we wonder if the end in this case justifies the
means. There is no doubt that these recommenda- .
tions, if approved, will improve the standings of
social fraternities a lew numerical points. In the
process, however, students will lose more of their
right to self government.
.
The IFC is now instituting a plan to improve
standings. Indications are that this plan, contrary
to those of the past, will have some teeth in it.
Already the requirements r initiation have been
tor
raised from a 1.0 to a 1.2. Ferhaps the IFC has at
last awakened to the problem and is combating it.
At least it should be given a fair trial period.
Part of the recommendations concern the number
ot social events which organizations may
methods by which the scheduling of these events

can be controlled. To our mind this has little or
nothing to do with the basic aim of the recoinmen- dations, which was to improve scholarship, not
limit social activities.

Fraternities and sororities exist primarily for the
social purposes. They must be expected to meet
University standards with regard to scholarship
and conduct, but so long as they do this there are
no legitimate grounds for curtailing their social ac- tivities.
Tlie effect of the limiting of social functions
would be to cause the campus organizations to have
more unscheduled,
activities which

would not have to be entered on the social calendar.
Events listed on the social calendar must meet

the like. Unlisted parties do not. We prefer listed
parties and we believe the Faculty does too.
