committee's decision to allocate 120 for the purpose of promoting a musical performance to be put on jointly by the department of english and members of the university band the motion was defeated by

introduced the motion was then passed with 11 affirmative votes al borin 69 introduced a motion to establish a subcommittee of arcadia's foreign opportunities committee the motion was tabled so that it could be decided whether the motion was a change in the bylaws or an addition to the bylaws social code attacked by ifc president levy by john seitz an open forum which was held wednesday to explain recent changes in the social codes found the codes under attack by inter fraternity council president ralph levy 67 francis j wuest chairman of the psychology department and a member of the social codes committee explained basic changes which have occurred in the social codes these have extended upper c lass men privileges to the freshmen and established an all-university committee of students to build a mechanism for the establish ment of student responsibility according to wuest fraternity regulations have not changed although more responsibility has been given to them in enforcing existing regulations levy suggested that the fraternity " officers he made responsible all the time he added that current regulations are unrealistic and that the students will not buy the social codes unless they are given total responsibility with respect to parties wuest said that they are now defined as groups of ten or more couples rather than three as they had previously t>een regulations now require only a notification rather than a petition he added levy suggested that " petitions should be needed only when a party is open to people outside the living group wuest noted that there was a disagreement over the position of chaperones he stated that no one on the committee is in favor of dropping chaperones entirely without some kind of substitu tion he suggested that a committee of students who would inspect living groups for social codes violations could be formed william quay assistant dean of student life said that present chaperones are useless and added that for all practical pur poses the students have been handling themselves responsibly without them levy countered wuest's student inspection system by say ing such a program is useless without a severe penalty system backing it he added that present inspection teams that operate during houseparty do absolutely nothing b&w photo by bertelsen laughing off another objection to the social code recom

petition to rhc asks referendum on rebate by robert j weintraub controversy concerning the reimbursement of up to 7 to rhc members for their animals-simon and garfunkel concert tickets has prompted the successful circulation of a petition calling for a student referendum on the passed motion the referendum will call for repeal of the motion in question and will require a majority vote of all residence hall students jack bannon 68 originator of the petition said he would like to see the motion repealed and added the petition should serve notice to rhc members that there are memlwrs of the residence halls who are concerned with the activities of the council the petition has 440 signatures which is enough to bring the motion to referendum in the residence halls bannon said there probably are several members of rhc who did put forth a good amount of time toward the concert but he couldn't conceive of all members of council receiving credit for this work bannon along with arden ruttan
