Interfraternity Council
Scholarship report issued
By JOHN HILL
Steak dinners for 2.0 points, active study halls, and answering chapter roll call with your G.P.A. are a few of the ideas to assist fraternity scholarship explained in a recent report by the IFC.
The belief that many fraternities are unfamiliar with scholarship programs and ideas other than their own was the main reason for the report, according to Tom Edgar, Bartlesville, Okla., senior and co-chairman of the IFC Scholarship Committee.
An explanation of each fraternity's scholarship program, written by the scholarship chairman involved, is presented in the report, without any conclusions drawn, according to Edgar.
"WE DO MAKE a few value judgments, but we don't make as many as we could," said Edgar.
Jim Brenner, Parsons senior,
was co-chairman of the report,
entitled "Fraternity Scholarship
at the University of Kansas, 1965-
66."
The preparation of the report, which began over a year and a half ago, included a series of symposiums with the scholarship chairmen from all the fraternities, which are included in the report.
Questionnaires about scholastic topics were originally sent to each fraternity to help them prepare their section of the report,
which was published and distributed last December.
ADDITIONAL copies of the report are now available in the office of the Dean of Men, according to Edgar.
Recent attention to a graduate thesis on this subject, entitled "An Analytical Study of Factors Associated With Scholastic Achievement in High and Low Achieving Fraternities" by William R. Butler, was another reason for a more recent and specific evaluation of fraternity scholarship, said Edgar.
The report states that KU has six chapters that are ranked first scholastically with their nationals: Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Theta, and Phi Gamma Delta, which "makes the local IFC one of exceptional scholastic prowess."
"There is extreme potential in this area," said Edgar, "and if people would give a little more serious consideration, possibly the whole general picture of fraternities at KU could improve."
Forum's consensus face tomorrow's crisis
"Get the facts and face the truth" was the unanimous plea of the main speakers of the Consultation on the University and World Change, "Focus: Tomorrow's Agenda," held here this weekend.
The speakers agreed that one should get all the facts and face the truth about the crisis of tomorrow; but they differed in their appraisal of what the next step should be.
Dr. Georg Borgstrom, professor of food sciences at Michigan State University, emphasized that the critical problem of today is the maintenance of life.
"Our civilization is not immortal," Bergstrom said.
Dr. Herman Kahn, director of the Hudson Institute, believes that there is danger in quick emotional reactions to problems.
Donald Fraser, Minnesota Congressman, feels that the solution is not a case of economic aid, but a case of social and political development.
