UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 1. 1965
-New Vice-President—
SEIC MEET ELECTS BATEMAN
By ZANE WILSON
Bruce Bateman, a Sigma Pi, has been elected a vice-president of the Southeastern
Interfraternity Conference, an association of the Interfraternitv Councils of the
Southeast. He was elected at the annual conference which was held March 27 and
28 at Vanderbilt University.
Bateman is a junior and is majoring
in chemistry. He is treasurer of the Inter
fraternity Council at the University, and
is Minister of Men’s Affairs. He will re
main in office one year.
Three vice-presidents, one for each re
gion in the SEIC, were elected at the con
ference. Bateman’s region
covers schools in Georgia,
Florida and South Caro
lina. He will be respon
sible for communicating
between the president of
SEIC and the schools in
his region.
‘‘The purpose of the
conference,” said Bate
man, “is to exchange iiateman
ideas with other schools in the Southeast
in an effort to solve problems that may
be common to all IFC’s. I feel that it is
very beneficial in helping us to solve some
of the problems that we have been con
cerned with. I hope that it can continue
to be even more effective in the future.”
The delegates at the conference decided
that they were not favorable to deferred
rush, and on another subject—Co-op food
buying—it was mentioned that the Uni
versity is on the right track with its Co-op
plan. The delegates also discussed Greek
Week and possible activities for it.
The University’s Greek Week may in
clude a one-day workshop for officers of
the fraternities and sororities, Bateman
said.
Neal Ray, president of the University’s
IFC, conducted a discussion group on IFC
publications at the conference.
Official delegates from the University
were Bateman; Ray, Kappa Alpha;
Tom Cover, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Jim
Fortune, Phi Delta Theta. The official
delegates were appointed by Ray. Six
others went as unofficial delegates.

"Increases In enrollment, re

make It necessary for added
construction,” Hudson said.
He noted that there were
staff members who don’t have
office space.
"The University Is adding
75 to 100 new staff members
each year to meet the de

a great deal more facilities are

legislature will delay action on
this need for at least a year,”
Hudson said.

Dr. Aderhold.
Dr. Aderhold said mis
takes are made in admitting
some students who are not
prepared for the University’s
curriculum nnd also by not
admitting some students that
are capable of doing college
work.
“A higher average is re
quired of women. On the aver
age. women out-achieve men
throughout secondary school
ing,” Dr. Aderhold said.
Another problem is getting
faculty and teachers who are
skilled and love to teach and
do research. Dr. Aderhold stated.
The South is a deficit area in
producing teaching material,
he said.
Dr. Aderhold said that he
believes the job of the ad
ministration is to bring the
students and faculty together.

get the maximum growth out
