Fall Semester c By HUGH STEVENS DTH Co-Editor , f The Interfraternity Council voted overwhelmingly Monday night to enforce "strict silence' between fraternity members and prospective rushees for the en tire fall semester. The decision nullifies a "modi fied silence" arrangement adopt ed bf the IFC last spring. Under the new system, - fra ternity men may not converse -r with freshmen at any time dur- ing the semester, - except ' for perfunctory greetings. The restrictions will be lift ed during holiday periods. Most of the 21 fraternities tfhich supported the move indi- cated their dissatisfaction with the "modified silence" plan, calling it unworkable. The IFC also voted to allow bull pledges full house privi- leges, including eating and sleeping in fraternity houses, x during this semester. f "Burden Lifted" Martin s Ned Martin, IFC president, I said the strict silence rule would "lift a great burden from f all prospective rushees." j ' "A freshmen' will not have to worry any longer about whether ? he is allowing himself to be ' dirty rushed," he said. "He , (simply cannot talk to a frater nity man at any time." 0 Martin indicated his feelings that the new rule would also prevent fraternity men from in terfering with freshman study time. He said that summer rush rules, under which no parties may be held in Chapel Hill or Orange County, will be enforced during vacation periods. "This will also be the easiest type cof deferred rush for the IFC to regulate," Martin said, "there is only one rule and it FCA MEETING J The Followship of Christian i Athletes (FCA) will have its first 1 meeting on Thursday, Sept. 24 in J 204 Woollen Gym at eight o'clock.

They were called, offi cers said, to investigate com plaints of shooting and bottle throwing in the nearby woods. The complaints, officers said, were lodged by UNC students and townspeople attending the party at the house in the Uni ersity Heights section, outside Chapel Hill near the Old Dur ham Road. The callers said a group of a dozen or so unidentified men, had the house under fire from the woods, and were harassing those at the party. Witnesses said there were at least five or six incidents of shootings, beginning at 10:30 p.m. and 2:15 a.m. The shots witnesses said, were fired into the air near the house, and were heard whistling through the nearby trees. After the first shots were fired, witnesses said, they saw C7 is clear you cannot speak to freshmen except to say hello." Passed Overwhelmingly The strict silence amendment to the IFC by-laws was intro duced by Barry Hyman, Pi Lambda Phi president. Hyman said the "modified si lence" system placed a burden on fraternity men in interpret- L. Fall Rush Period The IFC will hold a Fall . Rush period next Monday, Tuesday, and .Wednesday for all UNC transfer stuents ' and all regu lar students with an overall "C" (2.0) average. Preference cards for the rush period may be picked up in the Dean of Men's office during the remainder of the week. Sophomore, junior, and senior transfers interested in fraterni ties are eligible for rush. No UNC student who has less than a 2.0 average may participate. ing the rules, and it also en couraged iraternities to spend too much time seeking out prospective rushees. The move was opposed by Tau Epsilon Phi president David Robbins, who indicated his feel ing that the freshmen would not be sufficiently exposed ' to the fraternity system under strict silence. Robbins introduced a motion to impose strict silence only during the first half of the se mester. Robbins' motion was defeat ed, and Hyman's proposal passed overwhelmingly. Hyman was supported by remarks from representatives of Delta Upsi lon, Sigma Nu, Kappa Sigma, and Phi Delta Theta.

The police were called, but when they arrived most of the men had disappeared. Sev eral remained, however, wit nesses said, to talk with offi cers from the Sheriff's Depart ment. Two of the men later joined the party. One man, wit nesses said, identified himself as a former Klansman from Durham. They said he indicated some of the other men were also KKK members.

Some houses reported that they were experiencing fi nancial difficulties due to de- ferred rush, and requested the reinstatement of bull pledges in order to compensate for low membership levels. The motion passed easily, with the understanding that it would affect the current semester only. Martin expressed the hope that being returned to the houses for a semester would encourage bull pledges to' raise their grade levels so that they could be come actives.
