Drivers Presents Proposals By JODI KERSEY Barry Driver, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, addressed the Board of Visitors on Thursday, March 5th concerning fraternity housing. About 5:20 p.m., Driver presented the Board with carefully investigated proposals for fraternity housing. The IFC is very concerned because Main Cunningham could never house the eight fraternities which are expected to be on campus by 1983. "The fraternities have never agreed to the Main Cunningham proposal by the Administration" said Driver. "Chapter room facilities would not be adequate for the fraternities in Main Cunningham. Also, renovation, which has not even been approved by state legislation, would not begin for two more years." One Board member had this reply during the Friday morning open session. "The guys in Main don't want to move out and the fraternities don't want to move in—why make everyone unhappy?" These are the four proposals presented by the IFC from their top priority to the lesser proposals: 1. Make Curry co-ed because there would be two extra rooms available for chapter rooms, and make Frazer all-female. 2. I«ave the fraternities in Frazer and use the ground floor rooms in Frazer. The ground floor rooms are 55x22 feet and a wall petition could make two more chapter rooms. 3. Keep the fraternities in Frazer and make chapter rooms out of suites. And 4. Keep the fraternities in Frazer and use the Curry ground floor rooms for chapter rooms. Driver said that Frazer and Curry have the possibility for eight chapter rooms by using some of the student lounges. The fraternities could use the same three floors in Frazer with twelve spaces left on each for independent students. The administration has to decide about housing by the end of this week. No formal stand was
taken by the Board, but their general action indicated favor in the IFC proposals. Driver concluded by saying that the Board was very cooperative and interested in the student needs. The IFC wished to give credit to two helpful advisors, Dr. Anthony Cristo and Dr. James Crowl. The fraternities also want to thank Sharon Harrup for her participation during the meeting. "We are all proud of Sharon," said Driver, "for giving us the chance to speak and to represent the students." Board members: Mr. L. E. Andrews, Mrs. William L. Anfin, Mrs. J. L Davidson, Miss Gay Kampfmueller, Mrs. Jesse R. Overstreet, Jr., Mr. M. Ralph Page, Mrs. Joshua Pretlow, Mr. Eric L. Robinson, Mr. Thomas D. Rust, Mr. John R. Smyth, and Mrs. E. A. West.

Harrup Represents Students By BRENDA COLEMAN "Both days went extremely well. I was very impressed with the Student Liaison meeting. It was the first time Board of Visitors members let the students do most of the talking and running of the meeting. I think that reflects a college-wide attitude change in board members and students. Our voice can be heard if we go through the proper channels. Sharon Harrup, president of the student body, voiced her ideals concerning her newest responsibility as a non-voting member of the Board of Visitors. She was present at the board's table at all open sessions during
the meetings on March 5 and 6 and had to remain nearby during the executive sessions so that she could join the board at the open meetings. "I also received all the handouts the Board members received—that was neat!" "The Board asked me about the new separation of Student Activities Fees and IAA. I told them I was behind it 100 per cent because I felt it reflected the attitude of the entire campus toward the IAA. There is so much more participation and now it will be adequately funded." Concerning fraternity housing—the IFC (InterFraternity Council) accomplished a lot more than
people thought. Students should commend Barry Driver and the IFC for their efforts. They gathered the information, worked hard, they really looked into the future. They projected that by 1983, 900 males will be on campus, showing a need for eight fraternities." "Barry pushed for all the males on campus—independents as well as fraternities. He showed a great deal of perserverence. He attended all open sessions and gave his speech to the board without notes. Because of his work, I hope the housing situation will be resolved according to what the students want."
