REPORT FROM THE PRYTANIS
By Ron Jones' 67
The grade point for the Teke house
- for the sprlng se:mester of 1966 was 2. 76
for the a'ctive chapter and 2. 50 for the
pledge class. This averaged out to 2. 70
as a whole. This ranks Teke about 8th
out of the 44 houses in grades, and about
5th in houses with :more than 15 :men in
':me:mbership.
Most houses came out well in fall rush
this year. Many of the houses that were
in danger of folding for lack of :mern.ber-
ship took large pledge classes and are
consequently out of danger for the present
time. A total of 466 :men pledged the 44
houses.
��a:n-p;-e"'d'ge C'Fcfg-"s�� NiT'Cl1�a"Sp?'-��:!;"�- Know
ter acquired puts Teke right at the top
as far as pledge classes on campus go,
both in quality and quantity. The size of
the pledge class fills the Teke house to
capacity.
The Interfraternity Council is trying
very hard to i:mprove the i:mage of fra-
ternities on ca:mpus by the Spring Week
progra:m sponsored last year and the
" Speakers on Civil Rights" program it
is sponsoring this
- year. The Civil Rights
progra:ms include such speakers as Sena­
tor Robert Kennedy of New York, who
spoke on October 23; John Doar, chair­
:man of the Civil Rights Division, U. S.
Depart:ment of Justice; Stokely Car:mi­
chael. chair:man of the Student Non-

On Labor Day weekend, the bi-annual

nity matters as housing, rushing, future
plans for new chapters, the budget and
alu:mni relations.
An explanation of the newly-for:med
Ealicatlonal FounaaTiofi Was glVen totllc3'Se
