The housing shortage in Eu

themselves at home in the shack

New Rules Set for Prospective Greeks
Sorority rushees arriving on the
campus Sunday, September 9, will
be housed in dormitories this year,
Mrs. Golda P. Wickham, acting
dean of women, announced this
week. The candidates have been
housed in the sororities the past
two years because army students
occupied the dormitories. Hend
ricks and John Straub halls will be
filled first and additional space will
be provided if necessary. Rushees
will be assigned room numbers
when they arrive on the campus.
Under reorganized rules, Pan
hellenic this year requires rushees
to have a prep decile of 3, if enter
ing from high school, or a two
point GPA if rushing winter term
or as a transfer. It also sets an
August 25 deadline for applica
tions and allows a rushee to go
through only one fall term official
rush week.
Many Applications
Already 200 applications have
been received and indications are
that a larger number of freshmen
women will sign for rushing by
University sororities than for any
previous rush period.
A*fee of $15 will be charged each

Housing Set-up
Omits Rooms
For Married
Plenty of housing facilities will
be available at* the University for
unmarried students who send their
reservations in early, Karl W. On
thank, dean of personnel adminis
tration, announces.
However, the housing for mar
ried students presents more of a
problem, he reports. An apartment
house was to be built to house vet
erans and their families, but con
struction costs were so high that
the project has been temporarily
abandoned, Dean Onthank says.
He adds that the rent chargee
would have been too expensive for
the veterans if the budding haeM
been constructed on any of the
bids submitted.
Come Early
Dean Onthank suggests that
married students come to Eugene
before the start of the term to ar
range for their housing. Mrs. Alice
MacDuff has been made full-time
housing secretary and will assist
students in finding rooms or
