Frats, Honor Societies,—Yes/No?
Interest Brings Heavy Vote
Voting began yesterday at noon and will con-tine
until four o'clock today on five propositions
concerning the existence of fraternities and honor
societies at WWC! A heavy vote is forecast be-;
cause of the wide interest in the issues at stake.
Election chairman Loren Rankin announced
that at 4 p. m. yesterday 302 students had cast
ballots in the first four hours of voting.
In an attempt to present all sides of the contro­versy,
ASB President Bill Jones called a special as­sembly
yesterday morning before the polls opened to
allow opponents and" proponents of honor societies
to present their arguments. <
Ann Pearson and Bill Price stated reasons for be­lieving
that honor societies should not be permitted
on campus. Pauline Roser, Cecil Hannan, and Phil
Hansen argued in behalf of honor societies, referring
specifically to the Kappa Delta Pi.
A question and answer period following the speeches
found the student audience actively interested in the
question. Platform speakers were bombarded wit^i
questions from the audience.
At the beginning of the assembly, sample ballots
were passed out as was a statement from the joint
studentrfaculty committee offering definitions of the
terms used in the propositions.
