anti-fraternity sen timent in the brown and white most of the time the brown and white does a good job he com mented but we think there's plenty of room for other people's ideas on campus although the interfraternity council has expressed interest lehigh review isn't going to be just a greek paper he stated but one where what the average lehigh student feels is ex pressed arlene falkowski last spring's yaf treasurer echoed burgoyne's concern that the brown and white editorial board is more liberal in proportion to the campus as a whole i felt that sometimes the views of the average lehigh student aren't expressed that accurately in the brown and white this is a very conservative cam pus burgoyne said and the brown and white is not a very conservative paper he said that although officers of the conservative yaf are running the lehigh review opportunities to present a variety of opinions will be , available the paper will also include sports cartoons and other features we're not just a political paper burgoyne stated he said it will be just a little more greek a little more conservative with all four yaf officers running the paper falkowski said editorials will be from a conservative viewpoint and we're not hiding that yaf a campus conservative political organization was started in the spring of last year and became very active before november's presidential election yaf itself will not be active this semester burgoyne said instead the lehigh group will join students for america a group with almost the same beliefs as yaf but with better national organization the lehigh group took the idea for a newspaper from a yaf seminar burgoyne and other officers attended last year although they didn't learn how to run a newspaper they obtained a manual on how to start one burgoyne said they have also enlisted the aid of karen schoonover a former b w news editor schoonover said she would be working on layouts and doing the editing for the paper she mentioned that at an early meeting of the review officers she got the impression they knew little about how to edit or put the paper together both burgoyne and falkowski admit they have no experience writing for a newspaper and co-officer karen mcmenamin wrote for the brown and white for only a short . time last semester dravo resident slashes dorm with chainsaw bylizcarr news editor a freshman male was led

sanction over bysaramarder according to a pi lambda phi fraternity officer the no-alcohol sanction levied against the house last year didn't teach us anything we deserved punishment social chairman william neff said but the punishment itself did not teach us anything it was merely a rebuke pi lam's punishment for several violations of the university code of conduct during 1984's greek week included the unprecedented stipulation that no alcohol be served at the house or at any pi lam function for one academic year as far as changing the brothers views about alcohol consumption neff called the punishment ineffective we knew that we screwed up when we screwed up but going for a year without alcohol didn't teach us anything as a method of prevention however the punishment did serve its purpose from the sanction we learned not to do anything stupid like that again neff said piggy back ibsw photo by bill wilson rennie benn climbs on top of an indiana defensive back to prevent an
