Fraternities, Rushees Agree Rush Felt Disappointing By MARK McKECHNIE Of the Emerald Rush is over. The ritual has been performed, the tribute has been rendered. Fraternities can settle into a more familiar, re laxed life. Rushees will go back home and gather their impres sions, thoughts and desires to gether. Everyone is tired. What are the comments? Rushees and rushers alike were disappointed in the game and seriously doubtful of its value. Said the fraternities: “Prefer ence was like herding cattle through an auction. Freshmen are going too much for the name houses. Rush is rotten. "It has no bearing on how a rushee will fit into a house. It should be abolished. It is a phony set-up. Just a big show. You don't get to see what the house is really like. “Rush is at the wrong time. It is bucking New Student Week. It is not an integral part of New Student Week as it should be. It was too long. It should be more concentrated.” Said the rushees: “It was kind of crummy: the house didn’t see what the rushee was like; the rushee didn’t see what the house was like. I didn’t like it, but I don’t know how else it could be done. “It should be longer, more days and less formal. Some houses were too dressed up, while others were more nat ural and tried to get to know you.” Students Want Study Area A petition asking that the Bottom-of-the-Bowl be maintain ed as a study area gained 500 signatures Friday as students objected to increased use of the Bottom-of-the-Bowl for meeting rooms. Started by two students who presented the petition to EMU director Dick Reynolds late Fri day afternoon, the petition read: “'We Feel that the Bottom-of OpCit Director Resigns Position The resignation of Zed Craw ley as Operation Citizenship di rector, has opened that position for application. This ASUO program deals in student-ini tiated community projects. Qualifications for the posi tion include being a full-time student at the University and interested in working long hours in community projects. Applications are available at the Op Cit table on the EMU Terrace and in Room 301 of the EMU through Oct. 13. Emerald Misinformed Of Group's Name The Emerald was regretably misinformed as to the name of a group referred to in the story headlined Organization Proposes "Democratic” University, in the Friday, Oct. 4 Emerald. The alleged chairman of the group, commonly known as the Sons of Liberty, maintained the name of the group had been changed to that which was printed. However, there is no recogniz ed student group by that name. The story referred to propo sals of the group which were submitted to the Faculty Senate. Those proposals were submitted to the Faculty Senate under the auspices of the Sons of Liberty. Want to really get results? Use Emerald Classified Ads the-Bowl should be maintained as a study area as it has been in the past!” One of the petitions initia tors, Larry Thorpe, a senior in biology, said he and his friends had studied in the Bottom-of the-Bowl for the past three years. "When I came back this year there were only two tables and a few chairs, in the Bottom-of the-Bowl and it had been par titioned off as a meeting room.” Thorpe said the petition was the idea of John Gleeson, a third-year law student. "It (the petition) was a ‘show of force,’ so to speak, of those interested in the Bottom-of-the Bowl as a study area,” Thorpe said. Gleeson was unavailable for comment. Thorpe said the two collect ed signatures between classes Friday then took the petition into Reynolds’ office. It was worth our while talk ing to him (Reynolds),” Thorpe said. Retain Study Area Reynolds said he was “im - pressed with the rapidity that they got that many signatures.” “Whatever we do down there (in the Bottom-of-the-Bowl), we will preserve it as a study area as much as possible,” Reynolds said. But, he added, the EMU in its present size is about 6, 000 students too small, since it is designed to accommodate an erollment of only 8,000 students. “And, at the very least, we will have to continue to use the Bottom-of-the-Bowl for meetings as space demands dictate. There is just not enough space to do everything the way it should be done,” Reynolds said. An addition for the EMU has failed to gain funding from the state legislature for several years. An EMU addition is presently 21st on the State Board of Higher Education’s priority list, Reynolds said. This means three years before an addition can be built. Projected enrollment by then will reach 18,000 students, \ F—Hjefr-aE&s. PURCHASE YOURS AT THE CO-OP he added. Thorpe said the Bottom-of the-Bowl is the only place on campus in which to study dur ing the day, besides the library. “But, a lot of people do not like to study in the library,” he said. The library does not allow smok ing, colfee drinking, nor social izing facilities for study breaks, all of which are available to the Bottom-of-the-Bowl studies. “The library is too sterile. I study better in the Bottom-of the-Bowl,” Thorpe said. Another rushee commented that "Rush was OK, except that it seemed like they (houses) tried to push you out in a hurry ... It was more or less a propaganda session; by the time I got around to talk to a guy, it was time to go.” The comment that seemed to sum up both the way the fra ternities and the rushees view ed last weekend’s festiviies was put forth by three fresh men in Bean: “It’s better to go through informal rush. Formal is too phony.” Psych Professor Goes fo Confab University psychology profes sor Robert Leeper will partici pate in the third National Sym posium on Feelings and Emo tions at Loyola University of Chicago.
