The Collegiate PUBLISHED WEEKLY IFC Holds First 62-63 Assembly On Sept. 18 MARY LOUISE WESTPHAL President Jay Barnhill called the Interfraternity Council meet ing of the 1962-63 school year to order Tuesday, Sept. 18. Following the roll call and the reading of the minutes by Sidney Jean Wilson, the treasurer, Ed Perkins reported that there was $81.47 in the IFC treas ury. There was a lengthy discussion as to whether the Greeks would have a Greek Sing or not. The IFC board finally decided that this year, for the first time, the Greeks would have a non-competitive Greek En tertainment Night instead of a com petitive Greek Sing. Mr. Barnhill announced that Wink Holland will be in charge of this entertainment night which is to be held Friday, Oct. 19. A committee, the president of each sorority or fraternity, was appointed to work with Mr. Ho.''and, and Dean Warren suggested that the commit tee bring back to the IFC board at their next meeting the plans that they decide on for this entertain ment program. There was great discord among the board members as to the date Rush would be held this year. Fan Faulk ner suggested that the sororities have rush separate from the fraterni ties and at a later date than fraterni ties this year. This would give stu dents a better chance to understand more about Sororities before Rush. Miss Wilson was not in favor of this being done this year. Bob Bishop moved that Rush be held Monday, Oct. 22 through Thursday, Oct. 25. After a long debate among the com mittee, Fall Semester Rush was set for Mr. Bishops proposed dates. Mr. Barnhill announced that Joel Newton will be in charge of rush this year, and will set up a program as to when each alphabetical group will visit a certain sorority or frater nity. Sororoity rush will be in the afternoon and fraternity rush at night. Mr. Barnhill made it quite clear that he hopes this year many of ACC students will visit the different soror ities and fraternities on campus and that rush will be a satisfying suc cess.
