Outstanding among the sugges tions of the chairman was that a sil ent period should be provided to break up the solid fifteen day period of rushing. Such a break would have the advantage of relieving the high tension among routines and the bore dom of fraternity men, in his opinion. When questioned whether rushing to be most effective should come af ter Freshman Week and the °mute ' tion of first year inen, Crookston said, "Although on the surface it would seem a good suggestion ? in I practice late rushing would only lengthen the period because hinter city mon would be constantly ming ling with prospective pledges. The period should extend for about ten days beginning Freshman Week," he said. "Setting the closing hour of rush ing dates at 8 o'clock on week-day nights 'and at 10 o'clock on other nights was one of the best features tried out this year," Crookston said "It solved the problem for fraterni ties of what to do with rusbecs and also made it possible for both groups to study and relax." "The system of bidding used this year is as effective a method as can be developed. treferuntial kidding STATE .COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1931 Students Will Stage Grid Rally Thursday , Loyal suppoiters of the Nittany Lion will hold 'ak send-off for the football team on the eve of their first major gnaw Thursday night.

J. 151cLAIN CROOKSTON '32 which was tried last year was unsuc cessful and the relative smoothness of the system this year makes further change im pi acticable," Crookston said. That there should be a longer sil ent pelted at the close of active rush ing is the opinion of Crookston. Be mow of the great labor required in sorting and delivering the bids, the committee should be given more time in order to prevent any errors which may cause semi. mix-ups. With the question of change in the rushing code to be discussed at an early electing of the Council, Crooks ton icquested fraternity representa tives to learn the sentiment of their constituents as ',ell as that of the new pledges in order to facilitate Im provement from both fraternity and rushee standpoints.
