Hazing Affair May Cut Frat Freedom

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Although the recent tragedy caused by an initiation stunt will probably not change M.I.T.'s overall policy toward its fraternities, President James R. Killian, Jr. has indicated that fraternity freedom may be curtailed in certain areas.

After the body of Thomas L. Clark, M.I.T. '59, was found in a reservoir on February 17, Killian announced that the Institute would use "every means at its disposal to eliminate those excesses associated with hazings or initiations which might possibly lead to accidents which are physically or mentally hazardous or which are unbecoming to students of maturity and to an institution of this character."

Just how much faculty supervision this would involve was not made explicit, but the Interfraternity Conference met yesterday to discuss the entire Clark incident. Chances seem good that the Administration will confine its supervision to the area of fraternity hazing.
