Early Rushing —and Misgivings
Formal men’s rushing is underway, the first fall term men s
rush week since 1950-51, when these seniors were freshmen.
That was the first year of deferred living, and was to be the
iirst of winter term men’s rushing. But IFC’s pre-rusliing “hands
off” policy that year prompted complaints by Football Coach
Jim Aiken that freshman athletes were leaving the University
lecause they felt that the fraternity men were unfriendly.
So rushing was held in November. The last two years, how
' ever, it has been held winter term, the theory being that fresh
man men should have at least a term to establish themselves
academically before concerning themselves with fraternity
ties and activity.
But this proved somewhat unrealistic, because it was too
much to expect of fraternities to completely ignore freshmen
aintil winter term, especially with the rugged rushing competi
tion brought about by decreased enrollment. Some houses did
adhere pretty much to the “hands-off” policy, but the disadvan
tage caused these houses made it a pretty hard thing to continue.
This year, then, there is no “hands-off” policy. With “dirty
rushing” impossible, pre-rush week rushing has been in the open
and heavy.
The fraternities, in general, are pretty pleased to have fall term
rushing. They can climax summer rushing with three weeks of
fall rushing, culminating in the pledge. Previously summer rush
ing was followed by a cold “hands-off” period, and the men’s
-liouses felt frustrated. A feeling grew up that Oregon, at least
its fraternities, was snobbish.
Many fraternity men, however, would rather have a winter
term rush period (and fall term “hands-off), or else rush dur
ing orientation week. They complain about the strain of ex
cessive competitive rushing for three weeks, with the mental,
physical, and financial demands made upon house members.
- There may be another fly in the fraternity ointment. This year
some 380 men signed up for rushing, compared with around 170
last winter term. This could mean a heavier pledge group, or at
least more of a choice. But with the freshman class untried
scholastically, there is no guarantee that any more, or any “bet
ter” (academically) men will be back with the fraternities next
fall.
Human nature being what it is, fall term rushing is more real
istic. But fall term men’s rushing, unless the fraternities should
jprove to be especially concerned about the academic records of
itheir pledges, will contribute less to the scholastic endeavors of
f he University than winter term rushing.
1 Said endeavors, of course, not being the complete aspect of
<!)regon, but they certainly are its chief purpose.
