"As a chapter of Pi Beta Phi national there is no way we can possibly rush," said Jan Phlegar, Pi Beta Phi counselor and chairman of the Panhellenic Membership Committee. She said the National Grand Council sent the chapter a letter refusing to grant a waiver permitting compliance with the Panhel resolution which prohibits the use of alumnae recommendations. "The grand council said they did not have the power to f grant the waiver," Miss Phlegar added. The section of the Pi Beta Phi constitution dealing with " K alumnae recommendations is a statute. Although most stat- utes can be waived, the grand council said this statute is the Jan Phlegar only one specifically referred to in the constitution.

Poor repair ser-' THE NEGRO EXPERIENCE" Black hi-story: eA By BRIAN BUIST Slight, soft spoken, casually dressed. William Toll seems out of character teaching a highly controversial subject like black history. "The, Negro Experience," the history department's response to pressure from black students, is taught by Toll in two seminars, one for graduate and one for junior honor students. The classes take American history and view it from an unusual perspective--un- usual for current American history. "Studying. from the point of view of the Negro gives us another dimension ment proceeded to hire Toll, who had been doing graduate work at the Uni- versity of California at Berkeley, in time for the fall semester. The grad class with 18 members, two of whom are black, is twice the size of the all-white undergraduate seminar. While the undergraduate class tries to answer questions definatively, says Toll, the graduate stu'dents dig deep into the material, opening up many areas of theory. '"It's more difficult to plunge under- graduates into this since you don't know what their background is," explains Toll. itefferent vi Another factor to which Toll attributes the lack of interest is the poor general quality of the course description booklets provided by the University. He says the history department is working on a course evaluation project which should improve this situation. Toll believes the course should be open to more students, although he stresses the students should be "qualified" since the course requires a substantial amount of reading and discussion.
