In a Wednesday afternoon meet ing the Inter-Dormitory Council set up a tentative plan for fall term rushing and pledging of freshman men. The preliminary outline calls for an eight-day rush ing period ending before Nov. 22, 1950. At the present time the first men’s rushing and pledging pro gram is scheduled for the first part of winter term. The dorm council’s plan is now being con sidered by the Inter-Fraternity Council. Today’s poll indicated that cam pus opinion is divided on the ques tion of holding a men’s rushing program fall term. Opponents of the plan expressed the feeling that freshmen should have a longer period of time to become acquaint ed with the campus and cautioned against changing the plan in an attempt to appease freshman ath letes. Those favoring the program called it a step toward better campus relationships, pointing out that freshman should be adult enough to make wise decisions in their choice of fraternities. Bob Anderson—freshman in pre med—“It’s a good idea. I don’t like not being able to talk to my friends who are fratrenity men. There should have been a rush week at the beginning of fall term.” Tom Huebner—junior in liberal arts—“The original plan was set up to benefit all the freshmen scholastically. The idea of fall rushing now is altered so that the athletic faction is benefited. If the plan was good to begin with, it should be followed through; if it is no good, it should be dropped entirely.’ Denny Sullivan—junior in f. ±^. _“I think we should have a fall rushing period. We have lost a lot of athletes, and other students, because of the fact that they couldn’t join a house.’ Carl Borg—senior in architec ture—“I believe that freshman should be able to pledge this term. They are old enough to make a wise decision without the benefit of the'longer waiting period.” Harriet Oliver—sophomore in pre-nursing—“I think that fresh man men should not be allowed to pledge until winter term. If they waited they could make a better choice of fraternities.’ John Faust Jr.—sophomore in pre-law—“I’m a transfer from Michigan. At Michigan the frater nities follow a hands-off policy until the middle of fall term, when they have a rush week. There have never been any complaints about the system there.” Jo Curry—freshman in liberal arts—"I think the' fall rushing plan is fine. By this program*we might be able to keep our fresh men athletes.” Joyce Wilson— senior in art— “I don’t feel that rushing is that important. Equally valuable bene fits can be obtained when living in an independent group as when liv ing in a fraternity. It is a matter of good sportsmanship for the freshman athletes to accept defer red living. I don’t see why the rushing program shouldn’t begin fall term. Byron Tarr—freshman in busi ness administration—“Fraternities should wait until winter term to rush. Once the rule is set up, it should be followed. It shouldn’t be changed because of the athletes. Next year a new system could be worked up.” Frosh Run Berserk on Howe FietcB Ray Hawk, director of men’s af fairs quoted Harris as saying that about 30 loads of fill dirt would be required to repair the turf. Hawk said that the persons re sponsible for the damage will have to pay for the dirt and furnish the labor of distributing it. He also said “if these persons cannot pay for the dirt the fresh man class will have to furnish the money.” “The persons responsible fo; this damage have until Frida; afternoon to report to Barry Moun tain or me,” he said. “We kno' who some of you are, and if w< have to we will call you in.” Freshman Class President Wayn Carothers said that the bonfir< committee had plenty of wood linec up for the new site. He asked th< help of all freshman in building the new pile. WHERE TO EAT?
