Service to the 29
IFC directs purpose to single goal
The Men's Interfraternity Council (IFC) of the University of Kansas has one basic goal on the changing KU campus: service to its 29 member fraternities.
The IFC is divided into two groups. The President's Council, which is composed solely of house presidents, and the Representatives Council which is composed of one elected representative from each member fraternity for a term of one year.
The presidents Council meets the first Sunday of each month for dinner followed by a general discussion of fraternity problems and goals in an unstructured manner.
The Representatives Council meets bi-weekly in member fraternities' chapter houses on Thursday nights. New legislation, old business, announcements, and remarks for the good of the
Council are the main topics of discussion at these meetings.
The IFC operates under its own constitution in order to secure a greater unity in their aims and objectives and to establish an effective regulation of inter-fraternity affairs.
The Executive Council of the IFC consists of a president, vicepresident for rush, vice-president for fraternity affairs, secretary and treasurer. These officers are elected at a combined meeting of the President's and Representative's Councils in March.
nity affairs; Terry Moran, Kansas City senior, secretary; and Jim Huggins, Prairie Village senior, treasurer.
Committees of the IFC are created by the Executive Council which considers their necessity and validity. Those committees active in this year's IFC include judicial, social, cultural affairs, newsletter, rush book, Greek Week, food program and house finance, public relations and scholarship.
The judicial committee hears, judges and punishes any infraction of the constitution and/or by-laws, or any action detrimental to the fraternity system on campus.

An awesome silence hung over the room as each team tried to size up the mental ability of the competition.
The twenty contestants eyed each other nervously as they awaited the start of play Dec. 13.
Finally the last of the ten teams had paid its $6.00 registration and filled out the convention forms which indicated the team's style of playing. The signal was given and each team situated itself at one of the five tables as directed. The Student Union Activities Regional Duplicate Bridge Tournament had begun.
Three decks of cards at each table had been dealt out into three hands. The two teams at each table would play out each of the three hands in a 20-minute time period and then move to another table where another three hands of play awaited them. Each team played nine different positions, or 27 boards (hands) each

Bob Kolar, SUA bridge director, was on hand to settle any disputes that might arise.
"Director," a girl suddenly said waving her hand, "he passed and then changed his mind and bid."

Kolar informed her that was perfectly legal as long as the next person in line had not bid.
Finally, after eight hours of competition (four each day) the tournament was over. The winning pair (team) was George Waterman, Kansas City graduate student, and Bill Harris, Pratt junior, with $141\frac{1}{2}$ points. Not far behind were John Padget and Tome Lux, Topeka junior, with a total of 116 points.
The grueling match which began Saturday and continued Sunday afternoon, took its toll on the contestants. One person, in the heat of competition, informed his partner that he was dissatisfied with his playing and that he need not return Sunday.
These two teams will represent KU at the regional tournament in Warrensburg, Mo., Feb. 13-14.

The IFC operates under and decides the usage of its own funds gained through pledge fees, fund drives, or dollar-per-man-per-semester assessments of member fraternities. Budgets for committees, projects, and rush programs are allocated by and from the IFC treasury.
A newly initiated program serves to bring better communications between the city government and the Greek system. The IFC has a regular representative at city council meetings who is aware of programs which might affect member fraternities and can work with city officials for their mutual benefit.
The IFC has joined local businesses and other organizations of Lawrence in a group to promote the welfare of the city by joining the Chamber of Commerce, aiding in eliminating misunderstanding between the local citizens and fraternity men.
