Partridge, S.J., dean of students, announced Tuesday that the charter of the I nt e r-Fraternity Council (IFC) will be revised. This development cam,e as a result of the recent hassle stemming from the IFC ruling of penal action against Alpha Delta Gamma for violation of rush rules. The revision will aim at strengthening the council by setting up machinery for handling such disputes in the fraternity system. Father Partridge said that he had instructed the fraternity presidents to handle the present situation, and that it was decided bo revoke the ruling disallowing those boys involved in cross-bids, one of which might be from ADG, from chosing that fraternity. The dean did say that another penalty had been decided upon agreeable to all, but that its nature would be "kept within fraternity walls." Father Partridge also stated that no precedent had been made in bringing such matters before the Student Council. This series of events resulted from last week's indictment of ADG by the IFC of alleged irregularities in regard to rush blackball meetings and to the silence period. The IFC's first ruling disallowing cross-bids was appealed in the Student Council, but was overruled after Father Partridge sent two notes to the meeting stating that he had taken the prerogative of acting in the case.
