Wire Service PI X33f President Tom Creasy told the InterFraternity Council last night that . the- administration's recenly ctffeed. pian was "the best we -can do" toward reestab- - t 1 fl ushing an agreement for coed visiting in fraternity houses, ac cording to a report given The Daily Tar Hell by an IFC rep resentative last night. ; According to; the report, Crea sy said that fraternities should ac cept the three-point plan and "do our best to uphold it." He said that fraternities .could go to the Board of Trustees in an attempt to get an agreement more suit able to fraternities but that such a move would be:ifoolish." The administration's plan sets up three requisites for establish ing coed visiting:' '.. 1. Specific. 'hours are set up during which '- fraternities may receive women visitors. Z. No alcoholic beverages can be consumed within or on the premises of a. fraternity house while women visitors axe present. 3. Faternities and individual students must accept the respon sibility for . upholding the con ditions of the agreement "in let ter and in spirit." , - coeds and imports. ' " The three points were set forth in a letter sent to fraternities and student govenment by. Dean of Student Affairs Fred -Weaver. The letter states also that the University "disapproves drinking; by students." j : The coed , visiting agreement was revoked by the administration last spring "When President Bob Gorham declared that drinking in faternity houses would ibe ap proved. 'According to the report of pro cedings at the IFC meeting, Creasy recommended that the ad ministration's plan be considered by individual fraternities. A maj ority of the chapter voting yes on the plan will mean it will be accepted by the IFC. Weaver's letter states also that fraternities may appeal to the Board of Trustees for modifica tion or withdrawal of the drink ing ule.

Three Men Room Situation 'Serious' Approximately one out of every five men students enrolled this fall in the University is liv ing in a three-man room, accord ing to the University Housing Officer, James Wadsworth. Nine hundred and eighteen Car olina men are living in the three man rooms in ine dorms Old East, Old West, Steele, Alex ander, Whitehead, Grimes, Man ley, Mangum and Ruffin. Describing the situation as "serious," Wadsworth stated that assigning three men to a room was the only solution to this year's increased enrollment. Placing men in the three-man rooms has re duced the number of students living in Cobb basement. The number of basement dwellers is now estimated at about 50, as compared to hund reds who had basement addresses last falL Wadsworth expressed hope of moving the basement res idents out by the end of the' fall fraternity rushing. The three-man rooms will -have to be continued, Wadsworth said, until some other means to alleviate the problem is found. "Especially urgent, and embar rassing," he said, "is the necessi ty of having to put medical, law and dental students, many of them graduates, in three-man dorms." Wadsworth ' expressed hope that the State Legislature would soon appropriate the funds necessary to provide "the dormitory space so urgently needed. In the mean time", he said, "I would like io thank all those who are living in three-man rooms for their pat ience and cooperation." On fcflnpus SEEN Barred By Richard Thrle and Louis Kraar The Student Party last night jumped on the no-executive-sessionbandwagon started by The Daily Tar Heel less than an hour after a reporter was kept out of an Interfraternity Council meeting. SP legislative floorleader Jim Turner, a few minutes after hearing that the reporter, Dick Creed, was barred from the IFC meet, proposed to a full meeting of his party that the SP "nego tiate with the University Party to draw up a Legislaure bill for bidding executive sessions of any student "government organiza tion." Turner pointed out that honor courts were an exception to this rule. Committee The party, at the suggestion of Gordon Forester, decided to ap point a special committee to re port back to the SP within a week. Aside from SP Chairman Joel Fleishman and Turner, none of the other party members knew that a reporter had been kept out of the IFC " meeting. (The newspaper did not ask the SP to make its anti -secrecy move.) Turner said that his party,, along with "free-thinking students", is "shocked sby this rank- violation of freedom of the press." "Long Enough" Asked why the SP chose last night to spring their no-executive -session move, Turner said he thought the "situation has gone on long enough." He said, how- ever, that the party had not plan-! , ... - - - hed to make the , move until they j ...... . j Members of the . special com mittee to investigate the 'anti secrecy move are Charlie Wolfe, Bob Young, Don Geiger and Amy Cooke. UP leaders Tom Creasy, Rue ben Leonard, and Claude Pope could not be reached for com ment on the SP move. Telegrams In , opening last night's SP kickoff meeting," Joel Fleishman read goodwill telegrams from for mer SP leaders Gene Cook and Ken Penegar. Four Legislature seats, vacated by graduating students, were al so filled. Nominated by acclama tion were David Reid, Lewis Brumfield and Bob Harrington. Don Fowler, student body treasurer, welcomed all freshmen and newcomers to the party and uged them to participate in stu dent government. David Reid, SP vice-chairman, commented on the history and traditions of the Student Party, dating from its inception in 1938. Manning Muntzing described the functions of student govern ment and drew a round of ap plause from the ninety to a hund red SP followers present when (Continued on Page 4) 3 r r - r -r J 'V i rr v ...

According to Rush Chairman Ed McCurry, rushees will pick up their invitations to visit fra ternities on Oct. 6 and 7, and must visit all fraternities to which they are invited either on Sunday afternoon or Monday i night, Oct. 10 Oor 11.

No fra ternities may ask a rushee to join until Wednesday night (Oct. 13). v "The rushee must not make committments to the fraternity until Monday, Oct 18, the last aav oi ne rust perioa, ana tnose making such committments shall be ineligible for pledging at that time." Added McCurry: "There are rules and regulations for rushing, and it is absolutely necessary that they be carefully observed to in sure fairness above all to the individual rushee, but also to the individual fraternity. "We are currently in a period of strict silence between new students, freshmen and transfers, and fraternity men. This means thee is to be no conversation on 1 or off campus between these men , , .. , . other than sanitations, and this is . . . , ' . . to be interpreted literally just salutions. Strict silence is to con . tinue until Oct 10, when rushing proper will begin. FROSH Only 13 freshmen turned up in seven hours yesterday to have their photographs made for the 1955 Yackety Yack.

FOUR PAGES TODAY n i an r uiroSf M ei h If U'l m m m "j By Dick Creed The Inter-Fraternitv Coun cil last night barred the Dai ly Tar Heel from covering its meetings. Charles Kuralt, editor of the paper, and this reporter were voted out after Kuralt had given reasons why he thought the meet ings should be open and reported to the student body. "The IFC is a vital organization and certainly has nothing to hide," he said. During an question-answer pe riod between Kuralt and IFC mem bers, one member said that in the past Ihe Daily Tar Heel had civ- en the IFC a "bad deal" and that he did not "trust the Daily Tar Heel." Got Reports Kuralt answered that in the past the paper had not covered the meetings but got reports from the IFC prepared by members. One member asked whv it would ,not be suitable to the paper to have !the IFC give a written report of its meetings to a reporter or to have a member of the IFC write the story of what happens in each meeting. aiu ivurait, "We would not Know wnether we were printing the news." Such an arrangement would be an "unhealthy situation," he said. Tremendous Secret? "If the IFC doesn't have a tre mendous secret," said Kuralt, "what is the objection to having a reporter cover the meetings? "The Daily Tar Heel has noth ing against fraternities and will not have as long as I am editor," he said. "It is our responsibility to cover all branches of student government," he continued.
