news first by deana di dio assistant news editor better safe than sorry following last semester's formal fiascoes in which there was thousands of damage in two area hotels during alpha phi and delta gamma sororities formals the panhel lenic council after requests from the university unanimously voted to strengthen rules governing formals at wednesday's meeting rules for formal spring 1994 • each sorority must hire a security guard * a list of all the dates must be given to the greek affairs office before the night of the formal • each class must have a contact person to whom sisters dates and location management will talk to if a problem should arise • each contact person is to have taxi money so that any person who is having a problem can leave christine carroll administrative assistant for panhel said the rules were originally ideas from various members there was some con troversy at first about some of the rules such as a security guard since many of the sororities have not had problems in the past however all agreed with the rules in the end regarding them as precautionary measures it's much more beneficial to take care of the costs in the beginning than to take care of it in the end carroll said the rules were made broad enough so that each house can have jurisdiction as to where they want their security guard and other more specific details shoshana schiff 95 president of panhel said feels the new rules will be beneficial to the sororities because there are establishedrules they act as a deterrence she said in other business panhel was also able to get

this is a big victory for us schiff said we should all be very proud of ourselves if we could get this accom plished schiff feels the university was very helpful in reaching this goal the bolster beds
