IFC elects officers, president

The Interfraternity Council elected three new officers to fill positions on the 1997 council at its meeting last night at Kappa Sigma fraternity, 255 Highland Ave.

Gordon Savage, member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, 508 Locust Lane, was elected IFC president.

"I have a plan, a vision," Savage said. "It's intact and now it's time to move it into reality."

The position of administrative vice president was also filled at last night's meeting. Craig Newman, member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, 225 E. Foster Ave., was elected to fill the position.

"I don't think of this job as a guy in a suit and tie making the rules for you guys to follow like lap dogs," Newman said as he spoke about the responsibilities of the administrative vice president.

Kris McBride, member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, 234 E. Beaver Ave., will serve as treasurer in the next year.

McBride said he hopes to assist a group that already knows what it wants to do.

Steve Gordon, the current IFC president, said he was pleased with each of the candidates' performances during the nomination and campaign period. IFC has dealt with many issues during the past year, Gordon said. With the election of new officers, he said, IFC is taking the next big step forward.

Students elected to office will be installed as officers at the Feb. 24 meeting at Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.
