Men’s Rushing Ceases Fraternities in Swing Pledge Lists to be Published Today at 3 p.m.; ^Not All Fraternities Will Live in Own Houses Remaining on an inactive status since June, 1943, the men’s fraternities on the campus have definitely moved back into the social life picture this term. The interfraternity council voted Saturday to shorten the men’s rush period to five days, ending at noon today. Rushees will sign their preference cards between noon and one in the basement of Johnson and the pledge lists will be published at 3 p. m. Men who are signing preference cards will enter the east basement door of Johnson hall where they will sign the card. At 3 p. m. the men who are to be pledged will re turn, sign their formal pledge card, and pay the pledge fee of ten dollars which is applied to the initiation fee of the fraternity. Rushees Must Sign Any man who has not signed for rushing will be permitted to place his name on the rush list by con tacting Dean Earl after January 14. Men who are pledged prior to February 1 and who meet aca demic requirements will be per mitted to be initiated spring term. According to the inter-frater nity council regulations, each house may pledge only ten new men this semester. This rule does riot apply to men previously pledged and considered in a •'holdover” state. Not all of the fraternities will actually live in their former houses, as most of them were leased out by the University to private citizens during the war years. The great abundance of women on campus necessitated establishing living quarters for them, and dormitory facilities were not sufficient to meet this demand. As a result, some of the fraternity houses are still being occupied by ygrjous people, most of them stu dents at college. The Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, and Phi Sigma Kappa houses are all in this status. Some of the fraternities, upor moving back into the houses, founc that they were not able to oper their kitchens immediately and ir several instances they were forcec to “double-up” with one another The ATO and Theta Chi houses as well as the Delta Upsilon ant the Sigma Alpha Epsilon houses are faced with this problem Actually, rush week was on a much smaller scale than it has been in previous years, but the same competitive spirit prevailec among the Greek men. Formal pledging will be con ducted this noon, and it is ex pected that the houses ai ' going back on an active statu.,- will probably all pledge their quota of ten men. Bright Aspects The social picture on campus will be brightened by the returr of exchange “desserts” and frater nity participation in the intramura league, as well as a revival of the ever - popular serenades. Eacl house has found a number of its men trickling back to the campus during the first week of registra tion and all advance reports indi cate that spring semester will fine an even greater number of house members registering at the Uni versity.
