Juniors Launch Plan For Drastic Change
"The best two-year program that SC’s upperclassmen have seen in many a year is now on ihe launching pad.” Junior Class President Bill Steigerwalt said today.
"By initialing some rather drastic charges in class government. we hope to establish a trend with the junior class that will eventually become as strong as any Troydition,” he said.

“We hope to collect more than $.">00 through the sale of these membership cards. This money will be used as working capital which in lurn will be used to iaise more money and evenluallv establish a real solid treasury for the junior class,” he said.
Draft Budget
The Political Affairs Committee of the junior class will draft p budget, specifically indicating Ihe allocation of all the funds collected. This will he submitted to the class lor approval.
Among the more significant plans on Steigerwalt’s “launching pad" is a Junior Prom which m ¡’j attempt to rival anything rne seniors rcmtd put on. Numerous other cocial function« arc *n tho planning stage designed to generate a “Junior Class Spirit." he s?’d.
Training Program

The first meeting of the “new” junior class will be held on Sept 29. at 7 p.nv. in ihe Senate Chambers.
It will fealure ihe election of the executive secretary and treasurer of the class as well a< SteigerwaJr’s policv siatcmcnt for t he coming 'ear. Member.-in a1 tendance will have an op-

The Dean's investigation proved that the hazing stunt was not only a violation of the state I code, but that it was also in direct conflict with the Inter-Fraternitv Council's code of conduct which has been in effect since 1957.
Kappa Sigs Banned
Further action saw the Kappa house banned permanently from the campus as the fraternity's national organization removed their charter from SC.
In addition to this. Dr. Topping issued his presidential decree that those who were responsible for the affairs of the Kappa Sigma fraternity including the pre-initiation to be dismissed from the university.
Those fraternity members who were present and participated in the hazing stunt have been placed on disciplinary probation. This means that they will be able to attend classes but not participate in any student activities on campus.
No action has been taken against those being initiated.
