Voted   New Council Veep
Council Tables Motion To
Break Up Stray Greeks
by Joy Woods
Ronnie Butler, president of the
Stray Greeks, announced with re-
great the dissolving of the two
year-old organization at the Student Council meeting Monday
night. November 24, 1952 marked
the start of the group, membership in which was open to any
transfer students belonging to a
national Greek social sorority or
fraternity which was not represented on the Rollins campus.
They enjoyed all the privileges
of other social organizations on
campus, and were represented and
held a vote on the Council.
After long, serious discussion,
Butler explained, the entire group
felt there was "not a place for
Stray Greeks on the Rollins campus." The factions presented by the

mixed group plus the low membership arising from the few
transfer students who did not join
a local social group made it impossible for the Stray Greeks to
be a constructive and purposeful
organization.
. "For "realtistic and practical"
reasons, Butler concluded that dissolving  was  the  only  solution.
The motion was tabled until
next  Monday night.
In further action the council appropriated $120 for a telephone in
the Student Center to be used
only by students. This decision
was made after Mr. Jim Gregg,
manager of the Center, complained of the continuous over-use
of his private phone by the students.
Bob Goddard, reporting from
the Library Committee, stated that
"shorts in good taste" and "under
control" can be worn during the
day, hut fuller dress (dresses and
trousers) should be worn after
6:00 p.m. There was discussion
concerning Bermuda shorts; this
question was sent back to the
groups.
This was also tabled until Council's next meeting. .
Difficulty in obtaining chaper-
ones for the Pelican has increased
to the point where the faculty
members available are very limited. Goddard gave two reasons for
this problem:
1) The chaperones are not given
the courtesy of being asked far
enough in advance.
2) The students practically ignore them and do all but tell them
to "toddle up to bed" instead of
including them  as friends.
President Dan Matthews stated
that a new system of registration
would take place during the Vice-
presidential election Tuesday. Student Association cards were to be
shown by each student at the
registration table.-

traced to Dan by Olivia, an unhappy niece of Mrs. Bramson's,
who elects to shield the boy. Dan,
grateful but powerless, plots the
murder of another member of the
