STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL seems unable to agree on why
it wants the membership. practices statements it decided Wednes-
day to require from all fraternities and sororities.
President John Feldkamp insists that it all has nothing to do with
membership selection--that the regulation would have been passed if
there had been no interest in membership selection at all.

which placed sorority and fraternity constitutions in the deans' offices.

fall, when the wording of the original motion evolved from "constitu-
tions" to "constitutional forms" to
"a notarized statement of prpvi- LETTERS:
