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.

fall, when the wording of the original motion evolved from "constitu-
tions" to "constitutional forms" to
