SGC Passes
IFC Bylaw
Ont Rushintg
By H. NEIL BERKSON
With a minimum of discussion,
Student Government Council Wed-
nesday night approved Interfra-
ternity Council's proposed bylaw
changes concerning men's rush.
The new plan, already approved
by the IFC Executive Committee
and the Fraternity Presidents As-
sembly will thereby take effect
next fall.
For the first time, the 43 cam-
pus fraternities will be divided into
five districts. There are eight
houses in districts one, two and
three; ten houses in district four
and nine houses in district five.
A rushee will be required to visit
one house in each of the five dis-
tricts plus any other three houses
he wishes to see, for a total of
eight houses. In order to pledge,
the rushee must turn in a stamped
visitation card proving he has
seen eight houses. Currently, there
is no minimum number of houses
a rushee must see before pledging.
In another new move, IFC is
eliminating early bidding. At pres-
ent a rushee may be bid at any
time. Next fall a house must wait
until the second Tuesday of the
formal rush period before extend-
ing bids.
Any house caught bidding early
or bidding a man who hasn't seen
eight houses will be subject to
action by the IFC Executive Com-
mittee.
The above changes will also
apply during informal rush per-
iods except for men who have two
semesters of residence at the Uni-=
versity.
Institute Elects
Finney as Member
The National Institute of Arts
and Letters announced recently
that Prof. Ross Lee Finney of the
music school, composer in resi-
dence, has been elected to its mem-
bership.
The institute is comprised of 250
native or naturalized American
who have distinguished themselves
in music, art or literature.
Prof. Finney, a noted instrumen-
tal composer, has been at the
University since 1948.

to

No Need
She sees no need to integrate
Assembly and IQC even if the
study report is adopted-"as long
as men and women haye different
interests" for instance, in programs
such as athletics, and needs such
as counseling, the two groups
should remain separate.
Mrs. Davenport adds: "Women
differ from men in that they have
differing outlooks on where and
how and what kind of person to
live with. Women also use their
living unit as a focus for their
entire daily lives more than do
men.,,
Moch, on the other hand, says!
that in view of the report's stand
on men and women students as
"equals and collaborators," the
IQC and Assembly would have to
merge to become consistent with
the new structure.
'In Any Way Consistent'
Prof. Reed says that residence
halls student government could
operate "in any way consistent
with Advisory Board policy." He
indicated that merger or the sep-
aration of powers between inter-
house and house councils would be
at the discretion of the students.
In viewing the Residence Halls
Business Office, Prof. Reed, along
with Miss Sawyer, feels that stu-
dent governments, as well as the
Advisory Board, could validly deal
with and discuss policies of the
business office, which is directly
responsible to the Director of
Housing.
He says that since the business
office policies "can directly affect
the living conditions, and therefore
the educational purposes, of resi-
dence halls," the office rightfully
belongs under the director's au-
thority.
Closer Cooperation,
Mrs. Davenport adds that the
fiscal and academic aspects of
housing, although separate struc-
turally, would work more closely
under the new system, since higher
authority would be clear and cen-
tered.
Opinion becomes more sharply
differentiated, however, on an as-
pect somewhat detached from bus-
iness and fiscal operations: the
integration of the very academi-
cally - oriented Michigan House
Plan in the residence halls system.
Hale and Prof. Braun strongly
favor the plan's revitaligation,-cit-
ing its provisions for extensive use
of faculty members to live and
associate with residents. The two
men praise the OSA report for

asking that the house plan's spirit
of education and academics be re-
flected in both the philosophyand
personnel in the housing units.
'Good on Paper'
Moch, on the other hand, says
"the Michigan House Plan sounds
good on paper but I wonder how
possible it is to implement it. The
residence halls should by no means
be completely academic. They are
the only place where students can
get away from academics."
The six were unanimous, how-
ever, in backing the report's avow-
al that staff counselors must es-
sentially possess "academic insight
and experience."
Prof. Braun expressed another
viewpoint about staff which found
concurrence: their pay must be
higher. "I know of two well-quali-
fled men who wouldn't have ac-
cepted offers to become resident
advisers if it weren't for the 0
per cent increase that was granted
last fall," he says.

GUYS CAN BE GOOD PITCHERS
-SAYS WHITEY FORD
Last year, Whitey Ford won 25
games for the Yankees. Yet he still
insists it doesn't take brains to be
a winning pitcher. In this week's
Post, Whitey tells why one Dodger
pitcher with plenty of brains never,
made the grade. Tells how he han-
dies Al Kaline, Rocky Colavito, Jim
Gentile and other top sluggers.
And says why the beanball isn't as
dangerous as it's cracked up to be.

Election Rules
On Procedure,
By MYRNA ALPERT
In an effort to improve its
election methods and to increas
the interest of affiliated womer
in Panhellenic ,the Executive
Council and Presidents' Counci
recently passed the amendments
dealing with election procedures
for choosing executive counci
members.
One change. is that no member
of Executive Council who is her-
self running for a position shall
do any interviewing.. Two groups
will do this job and each one will
consist of three retiring presidents,
two council members and women
presently holding the office whc
will act as chairman of the group,
but will not be able to vote.
Each group will interview all
those women petitioning for the
same office and will present a
slate of a maXimum of two can-
didates for each position.
In order to provide an oppor-
tunity for all affiliated women to
become acquainted with the can-
didates, a meeting will be held in
which the women who are running
for office will speak and offer
their platforms.
The president and a represen-
tative of each class from every
sorority will be required to attend
this meeting, but it will be open
to all interested persons. Incad-
dition the two presidential can-
didates will speak at the sorority
houses.
Another change was made in the
manner in which the votes are to
be recorded. Instead of having the
vote of a house counted as a
blanket vote, the vote of each wo-
man will be counted separately.
The entire procedure takes place
from February 12 to March 21.
