According to Jim Surwillo, Director of the Physical Plant, about three to four inches of water was discovered in the basement of Hoover on Tuesday. The Maintenance Department has a standard sub- pump to keep buildings from flooding, but because the rain was so heavy, it built up and the pump failed, Surwillo said. Other buildings affected by the rain include the lobby and north side of Stauffer Residence Hall, Mendenhall, the Campus Inn, Platner basement, Wardman Hall and the east end of the Science Building. New Member Education BOG Sets Agenda Program Faces First Test By Julie Amiton News Editor Eighty-seven students have begun the new member education program, 11 more students than last year, according to Steve Gothold, Dean of College Life. Female societies have 54 "pledges." These include: Ionians (seven), Metaphonians (12), Palmers (11) and Thalians (22). Male societies have 33 "pledges." These include: Lancers (eight), Penns (19) and Franklins (six~orginally nine, but three de-pledged). Gothold attributes the increase to the fact that a number of people who were moderately interested in societies did not see the reasons to go through the old pledging process. These people were greatly encouraged by the changes, according to Gothold. Penn President Jason Fish agreed with Gothold. "We were very organized this year as a society and we tried to emit that to others," he said. Based on recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee on Society Governances, new member education cannot exceed 15 hours per week, plus study hours. A three hour limit has been imposed Monday-Thursday, with Sundays completely free of activities, unless prearranged with Gothold. Chris Jacobs, Franklin President, said, "We use our three hours a day as constructively as possible." According to new member education guidelines, there are three levels of supervision that must be followed. The faculty advisor of each society has ultimate responsibility. A second level includes other members of the college community, either professors or other faculty members. Finally, a third level of supervision is alumni members of societies who have been authorized through the Office of College Life. "In the future, a little more leeway towards the society is needed. We had to cancel some events because we coul d not get an advisor," Dave Mashaal, Lancer President, said. Metaphonian President, Kim Powell said: "We are frustrated because the girls are not getting what we wanted them to out of this. We do not know if the bonding is going to occur." By Michele Apostolos Staff Writer "One ofthe main things BOG would really like to improve is the communication between the three sectors on campus: students, faculty and Administration," Jenny Kelly, President Pro Tem. said, concerning goals discussed at the BOG retreat held Feb 2-4 at the Circle Bar-B Ranch outside of Santa Barbara. ASWC President Kevin McGlynn said, "We (BOG) want to be open to students, but we also want to be fair." Other goals established, according to Kelly and McGlynn, include providing a consistency in the funding of student organizations and creating a variety of programming and activities for students. McGlynn called this a "working retreat" with BOG members meeting to "talk a lot about philosophy, student concerns, and what we felt student funds should be used for." "A large part of the retreat was to educate new members on how the Board works and what it is about," McGlynn said. "We went through the bylaws Please see BOG on page6. No Luminarias for Men's Lacrosse Team By Jennifer Buddemeyer Assistant News Editor Due to a mixup in scheduling the master calendar, the men's lacrosse team will be unable to attend Luminarias this year because they will be on a road trip to Arizona. Doug Locker, head coach, said that when he scheduled the games in August, Luminarias was not on the master calendar. 'There was no way that I could have known (Luminarias) was that weekend. We have always scheduled around it in the past; if we had known, we would have this year," he said. He continued, "Every other year we've been home for Luminarias." Mike Poutre II, BOG Student Advocate, said, "Luminarias has been set since last March 13— the week after last year's Luminarias— and was put on Please see LAX on page 4.
