Chapel Board THE HENDRICKS CHAPEL BOARD, in its third year, is a well- established, vital feature of the University life. Composed of a representative group of deans, professors, and students, it plans the religious and social programs centering around the chapel. As Chairman of a committee each member has responsibility for a definite element of the activities. With the worship, which consists of the Sunday morning service, daily Chapel, and the weekly vespers, as a nucleus and inspiration, an interesting program of social events and discussion groups has been arranged, in which several hundred students participate. Through the purpose of stimulating the religious life of the Uni- versity and of inspiring a spirit of fellowship among students, the Chapel Board has increasingly become, as it has aptly been termed, Syracuse.

Interfraternity Council THE INTERrRA'rERNVrY Council., composed of the presidents or representatives of the various chapters, was founded in 1916. It is an association for the advancement of the best interests of the various fraternities. One definite duty of the council is to organize and supervise rushing. In this connection the Daily Orange published, prior to the rushing period, a brief item regarding the history and membership of each fraternity. At present the executive committee of the council is working with the Interfraternity Alumni Council for the purpose of ARTHUR VAN Wm improving next fall's rushing rules. f f'fidf f This year for the first time in the history of the organization a budget for the ensuing year was drawn up. A new committee was also organized, with Dave Brewer as its chairman, for the purpose of furthering inter- fraternity relations. Plans were drawn up by which each fraternity would entertain two men from another house at dinner one night a month. It is hoped that next year the plan can be enlarged upon and carried out more extensively. The work of the local council was coordinated with that of the National lnterfraternity Conference when President Van Wie attended a meeting in New York last November. A resume of the work of this conference has appeared in most of the Fraternity Publications. The climactic event of the year, the Interfraternity Smoker, sponsored by the council, was held in the Men's Gym on March 27.
