Fraternity Grades Up -Kerr
☆ ☆ ☆
Overall fraternity grades at the University of Miami for the Fall semester reached the highest point in the past four years, announced advisor to fraternities Kenn Kerr on Monday.
“For the first time in many years,” said Kerr, “the all active average of initiates in the seventeen fraternities at the University has exceeded the university’s all men’s average.”
Those men who were active
initiates in the fraternity system in September achieved a 2.23 academic average, compared to a 2.21 all men’s average. Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity captured the first place position among those fraternities with a minimum of 12 active members. AEPi's all chapter average, which included pledges and actives, was 2.62.
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity made the most significant all chapter improvement. The fraternity moved up 12 places in

Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity was second among those making significant improvements. The fraternity moved to third place last semester from thirteenth for the Spring 1964 semester.
Ten fraternities, approximately 59 percent of the UM fraternities, ranked above the all men’s average for the fall semester.
“This is well above the national average of fraternities which exceed the all men’s average on their respective campuses,” said Kerr.
In the active initiates division AEPi again claimed first place with a 2.48 average. However the most significant improvement i in the all active initiate division was made by Phi Ep Pi fraternity which moved up 12 places to the number four slot.
The highest pledge class average was also achieved by AEPi.
The AEPi pledges held a collective 2.86 average. The all pledge average was only .03 below the all men’s average A total of 71.9 peicent of the fraternity pledges, those men who had pledged fraternities for four or more weeks.

Musicians Top Fall Grade List
Women in the School of Music have the highest cumulative grade average in the university.
The thunder you heard last night wasn’t the forehearer of rain, but it signaled the opening of Cami-Gras 65, “where the fun is.”
Last night's record first night prompted Jay Bouton, Pep Club President, to predict an all time record for gross receipts of over $ 10,000 exceeding the old record of $8,300 set in 1963.
Under a new federal aid to education program, this money, along with government funds will enable the Bowman Ashe Scholarship Fund to profit by over $30,000. This is nearly ten times the amount raised in past years.
As usual, Chi Omega's “LiF Vegas” was a star attraction. Stiff competition was offered by the strippers representing Alpha Delta Pi. Luckily the girls were able to buy off (?) the Kampus Kops. There was very little possibility of either show being closed.
Other booths and shows also drew large crowds with the Cotton Candy (Pink) sponsored by Zeta Beta Tau and Pizza Palace of Delta Sigma Pi giving the whole affair a carnival flavor. Tonight, the final night, will feature an appearance of University president Henry King Stanford who will ride the ninety foot high sky wheel. This will mark the third appearance in as many years for Dr. Stanford. An interesting sidelight is that tonight will be the first time he will have ever seen the University at night from such a vantage point.
♦ Also making a Carni-Gras ap-' pearance is popular radio disc jockey, Doc Downey. Doc will j operate from the stage and help to keep things flowing along smoothly during the course of the evening.
Trophies will be awarded at the opening of the new Student Union, April 22. Winners will be made public by the Carni-Gras Committee of the Pep Club in about ten days.
As previously announced there will be eight trophies awarded with the top prize being a large permanent one which will remain on display in the new Student Union.
After the first night's activities top contenders for trophies are: Fraternities: Sigma Chi, Zeta Beta Tau, Sigma Nu, and Lambda Chi Alpha: Sororities: Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Gamma, and Chi Omega: and in the independent division: Delta Sigma Pi, Jackson House, Ungar House, Gamma Sigma Sigma, Washington House, Monroe House and the Miami Hurricane entry.

U. C. Council Ends Sessions
The University College Student Government held its last meeting Wednesday, March 17.
This meeting was the last that will ever be held due to the change of structure of the Undergraduate Student Government, a change which dissolves school governments and replaces them with class governments.
Highlighting the meeting was the impeachment of freshman representative Laura Goldstein Bill Arbeit for her resignation and the request by president as secretary-treasurer due to a lack of attendance at meetings, and an apparent indifference towards council affairs.
To conclude the meeting, president Arbeit thanked the council for its cooperation and effort during the year and wished them luck in their various campaigns. He also expressed, however, a
