The Interfraternity Council has added a new position to its office by splitting an old one, an IFC official said.

Grant Gossett, IFC vice president of student recruitment, said the council has decided to split the position of vice president of finance and administration into two separate positions. That position will be replaced by the new posts of vice president of finance and vice president of administration. Gossett said splitting the position should simplify each job and keep the workload from piling up on any one person.
