Fraternity Houses Have Rush Rules
When KU students consider the rush rules on this hill, the no dating and no contact rules set up by the Panhellenic Association usually spring into vision. The fraternities also have rules regarding their rush procedures.
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) Judiciary Council is set up to govern IFC functions. Action taken by the council results largely from violations of fraternity rush procedures.
A fraternity may pledge only three-fourths of their total quota during the month of August according to a rule placed in effect prior to rush last fall. It is possible that a house may only turn in the number of pledge cards equal to their August quota but actually pledge more than their stipulated number.
Richard Burke, Dodge City senior, gave the example that a fraternity may have a total quota of 20. During August the fraternity turns in 15 pledge cards to the Interfraternity Council. This would be three-fourths of their quota. However, he said, they may actually pledge 20 men to their house during the month.
Over-stepping a rush stipulation is not the only action that may bring a house before the Judiciary Council.
In the eyes of the IFC that is a rush violation and the Judiciary Council begins to function. They handle the violation and try to discover why the mistake was made. It is possible that it resulted from a misunderstanding or lack of communication between IFC and the fraternity.
The council has the right and the power to levy a fine on the fraternity house for the infraction. Byron Loudon, Kansas City senior, and chairman of the council last semester, said any infraction of the rush regulations may result in a fine as much as $300.
Scholastic problems are also handled by the committee. If the grade point average (GPA) of a house falls below a C (1.0) the house is subject to review by the council. The president of the fraternity appears before the council to explain the situation, reason for it, the scholarship program of his house and other information the council deems necessary.
The members of the Judiciary Council attempt to aid the fraternity in revamping the scholarship program.
This year the council was concerned not only with the houses recording below a 1.0 GPA but also houses below the all men's average on the campus.
"We try to make it our responsibility to stimulate scholarship in the fraternities."Loudon said.
At present the council has little jurisdiction over social infractions. The council is attempting to gain more power by having the All Student Council Social Committee refer fraternity social actions to them.
"I feel it will have more meaning to them (the fraternity social violator) and also it will allow us to take care of our own dirty laundry." Loudon said.
Loudon said that this is not a drive to get the fraternities "off the hook."
Any action handled by the Judiciary Council is handled by the peers of those questioned. Six fraternity men serve as council members. They are elected at an Interfraternity Council meeting, from nominations from the floor.
The split election enables the council to have three members, each with one semester of experience, serving at all times. The president of the IFC is also a member of the Judiciary Council.
A man must be president of his house or past president in order to be eligible for a position on the Judicial Council. Three men are elected in the fall semester and three are elected at the beginning of the spring semester. The office is held for two semesters.
Present members of the Judiciary Council are Burke; Gary Gradinger, Leawood senior; Robert Hicks, Kansas City, Mo., junior; Jim Roberts, Chanute junior; Ernest Yarnevich, Kansas City junior; Ronald Peden, Danville senior; and Jim Johnston, Independence, Miss., senior and president of IFC.

Whipping Snow Halts Traffic and Plans
By United Press International
By United Press International A winter storm left troublesome snow drifts and snarled traffic in Kansas today.
The storm, which brought blizzard conditions to parts of Kansas, dropped seven inches of snow at Kansas City and Ft. Leavenworth. Winds lashing central Kansas hit 45 miles per hour.
THE SNOW LEFT snow-clogged highways and cold temperatures and disrupted scheduled activities. Temperatures hovered around zero and below Tuesday night. Highs today were expected to reach 10 to 20 above zero.
The heaviest snowfall was in northern Kansas. Measurements included three and a half inches of new snow at Belleville for a total of eight inches and three inches of new snow at Clay Center for a total of seven inches.
Kansas Highway 16 between U.S. 77 and K-13 near Manhattan was closed Tuesday. The Kansas Turnpike was snowpacked but passable near Kansas City and snow and ice spotted the four-lane highway from
Highways in southern Kansas had a covering of ice under the snow, the result of rain and sleet which preceded the storm.
MANY SCHOOLS WERE closed basketball tournaments postponed, and meetings delayed.
Communications were interrupted around Wichita Tuesday when an ice storm snapped telephone lines.
Topeka south. Many other roads were closed except for one-lane traffic.
The snow had ended over much of Kansas by midnight, the U. S. Weather Bureau reported. Winds slowed and blowing snow diminished.
The Weather Bureau at Goodland said a two-inch "dirty snow" covered western Kansas, the result of blowing dust and dry snow. The snow did not contain enough moisture to stick to open fields.
VISIBILITY WAS so sharply reduced near Scott City that two fliers spent 14 hours lost in near zero temperatures after their small private plane crashed into a wheat
field. When the howling wind and flying snow diminished, they discovered they could see highway K-96.
The men were the pilot, Virgil Standish, Jr., and Wayne Dobbs, both 36-year-old Great Bend residents enroute from Great Bent to Dodge City. Standish lost some teeth and Dobbs received head injuries and a sprained ankle in the crash.
NEAR STOCKTON, LAW enforcement officers used snowplows to penetrate eight foot drifts to capture three escapees from the Franklin, Neb., County jail who were huddled in a vacant farmhouse.
Clifford Wayne Trammell, 38, Phillipsburg, Kan.; his halfbrother, Danny Craig, 19, and Jimie Hoover, 18, of Kirkin, Kan., were found after officers received a report of an abandoned car in a snow drift two miles from the vacant house. The car had been stolen in Republican City, Neb.
Graduation was only the beginning of Jim Brown's education
Because he joined Western Electric
Jim Brown, Northwestern University, '62, came with Western Electric because he had heard about the Company's concern for the continued development of its engineers after college graduation.
Jim has his degree in industrial engineering and is continuing to learn and grow in professional stature through Western Electric's Graduate Engineering Training Program. The objectives and educational philosophy of this Program are in the best of academic traditions, designed for both experienced and new engineers.
Like other Western Electric engineers, Jim started out in this Program with a six-week course to help in the transition from the classroom to industry. Since then, Jim Brown has continued to take courses that will help him keep up with the newest engineering techniques in communications.
This training, together with formal college engineering studies, has given Jim the ability to develop his talents to the fullest extent. His present responsibilities include the solution of engineering problems in the manufacture of moly-permalloy core rings, a component used to improve the quality of voice transmission.
