Member Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1932 DEFERRED RUSHING Fraternity men, in general, sense the advantages of the defer,red system of rushing. They recognize in it the solution of many of the problems that now confront a rushing committee pondering next year’s code. ' But like many another worth-while thing, deferred rushing seems to them an ideal, a Utopia that never can be at- tained. Why? They say that Penn State fraternities need those additional ten or fifteen boarders during their freshman year in order to finance the house. Finances transcend all else. For the present it seems that attention should be directed toward perfecting a much better code of rush- ing under the present first week method. However, fra- ternities should not lose sight of the change that is cer- tain to come in the future. They should do everything toward ironing out financial difficulties that now stand in the way of a deferred rushing program. Considerable criticism has been heaped upon Inter- fraternity council officials for faults that were of the code —not of tho men who administered the rules. If anyone is deserving of censure it is the fraternity men .themselves. They set up an elaborate code with myriad •rules and regulations and then were content to drop A code without, enforcement'-is.worthless. ‘the matter. From-the'jumbled mass’ of criticism -there'have* arisen several worth-while suggestions. ‘ Outstanding .among these is the proposal that freshmen come to the fraternity houses at the time of their dates instead of being escorted by fraternity men. It would certainly simplify the work of the fraternity men and would not prove a hardship to the rushees. Although difficult to enforce, the proposed silent period before the opening of Freshman Week would certainly place the frater- nities on a more equal basis. No one can deny that this year some of the most intense rushing was going on in the three or four days before the formal opening of the Last year an effort was made to do away with the long silent period on the Sunday that the rushees ap- pear for dinner. This year scarcely a single fraternity followed the letter of the code in respect to the silent period until six o’clock. Because of its unpopularity and impossibility of enforcement, tho deadline should .be shortened to two or three o’clock. Intramural sports this year will enter a bigger and better stage if the progress that has been made in elim- inating four o’clock classes and the general student in- terest can be taken as any indication. Now the danger of emphasizing group-sports, to the complete neglect of individual interests, must be averted. The report that students are being discouraged from using Recreation Hall during the day because of the conflict with regular classes comes as an inconsistency in the admirable ‘‘sports for all” program. To offer opportunities for exercise at all times—not merely from four to six—-is more in keeping .with the ideal. ON WITH. THE DANCE For several years student opinion hits been crystal lizing in favor of holding an all-Collegc dance sometime before the Christmas holidays. This year something should be done about it. For too long a time student loaders have been content to drop the whole matter after they had relieved themselves through utterances :beforc governing bodies and through the columns of this The advantage of holding one of the all-College functions in the first semester have been mulled over again and again. The crowded social calendar of the second semester is sufficient reason for such a change while the deadness of the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas seems to make the suggestion popular among the students. At any rate the matter should bethrashed out once and for all. It is becoming a little tiresome to hear so much talk and at the same time to see so little action. CAMPUSEER - BY HIMSELF r “Taking the pledge” is a phrase that has declined in prestige a great deal since we went to Sunday school. In these parlous times it is just as likely-to end up in a severe case of the jitters. ALFRED W. lIESSE JR. M 3 Business Manager ROBERT M.

Dr. Writcaminute. “Where should I go, Dr. Writcaminute?” he in toned. “Take this sheet and find a chair and answer ten out of the twelve questions,” snapped the M. D., with just the right amount of professional brusqueness. The reticent one took the paper and started away, then turned back and gulped beseechingly, “But Dr. Writcaminute, I’m Mr. A-shday of the public speak ing department, and I’m supposed to bo proctoring this examination.” .
