RUSH PROBLEMS Deferred Rush Seen As Possible Answer Inivendty official* generally agree there is need for a change in ttie men's rush program and possibly in the women's. This is the second In a series on milling problems. By CAKLEEN FELKER Emerald Staff Writer "In the past I was in favor of immediate rush, but over the period of years I have come to feel that deferred rush is the best solution to this problem," said Dean of Students Donald DuShane. "When the rushee is not pressed with fraternity duties during fall term, he has more time to develop good study habits. Also, the rushee can evaluate fraternities more easily after a term of orienta tion into college functions," DuShane added. Wiser Choice Seen Most fraternity men feel that if the rushees knew more about the fraternity system of living, the number of freshmen dropping rush would decrease. Inter-Fraternity Council president Tom Wand ex plained that the rushee could make a wiser choice after spending a term on campus “looking over” the fraternities. After becoming settled in the normal pattern of college functions, the freshman is better equipped to decide which fraternity will best fit into his own plans. Then during deferred rush activities, the rushee can concentrate his rushing dates on a few houses, rather than risk the chance of being dropped by spreading himself among too many individual houses.

The senators felt that nr.ro and for all the student body should deride whether it wanted passage of the amendment or not. Similar proposed amendments have never been voted in or voted down; they have "lost’' because tl*e required number of students did not vote, or because election rules were violated, as was the case last spring.
