houses when the Interfraternity

from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday for
a glimpse into the physical prop
erties of the campus social groups.

and Alpha Phi Omega will act as
guides for the nine groups of first
year men. These groups are Seder -
strom first-floor, Sederstrom sec
ond-floor. Nestor first-floor, Nes
tor second-floor, French first-floor,
French second-floor, Cherney first

With only 140-50 men scattered
throughout the dormitory on both
floors of a unit which can hold 375
men, maintenance work which a
full capacity would necessitate was
required, yet less than half the
| capacity was actually living in the
;dorm, Ellingson explained. He said
it was impossible for the Univer
sity to meet the cost -of that
amount of maintenance for the
comparatively small number of
residents.
Men Cooperate
Dissatisfaction among students
I was not a great problem, Ellingson
said. Some men did not want to
j give up rooms which they had
| adapted to their own wishes, but
! the best was done for them that
was possible, he stated.
Though many men are being
moved into halls other than tho
ones they were living in, all hall
| organizations will remain intact.
; Thus, a student may have been
; moved from upper Minium Hall to
| a room in lower Merrick Hall, but
! he still weuld belong to the Min
| turn Hall organization.
Changes Explained
Students from upper Stan Ray
j Hall went into lower Stan Ray and
overflowed into lower Stitzer; men
from upper Merrick entered lower
Merrick and also overflowed into
; Stitzer. Stitzer Hall was occupied
by members of the football team
until last Friday.
Merrick and Stan Ray will have
J separate governmental organiza
tions. but will be one unit for so
cial and intramural purposes.
Counselers for Vet’s Dorm No. 1
are Dick Unis, Minturn; Harry
i Bidlake, McChesney; and Bruce
; Anawalt, Merrick and Stan Ray.
Council Decides
Greeks Innocent
Of Rush Violations
Charges that members from Pi
Kappa Thi, Lambda Chi Alpha,
and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities
had violated the freshman rushing
code were without basis in fact, it
was decided by the Interfraternity
Council tribunal Thursday after
noon.
Reports of possible violations
were brought to the IFC meeting
Wednesday evening, but upon full
investigation the reports were
found to be cases of mistaken as
sumptions on the part of the in
formants.
Meetings between IFC represen
tatives and freshman will be held
Monday night to fully discuss all
regulations governing rushing.
"We believe that these orienta
tion meetings will do much to pre
vent any future mistakes such as
have occurred,” said Bob Christ,
alumni advisor to the IFC.
