"The NRA was drafted by Presi dent Roosevelt and his associates in an effort to meet the critical situation faced by this country when he took of fice," he continued.

Keeping in mind the phrase that no person shall be deprived of "liberty or property without due process of law," the public must realize that the present program is only experimental, • Dr. Tenger 'continued. "All these handicaps in the way of effective planning must be taken into account," he concluded.

Brandt '34, president, on the eve of the Council's meeting to adopt a rushing code for 1934 in Room 405; Old Main, at 7 o'clock tomorrow night. • "The proposal, if It is adopted, would mean that a traditional crowd ing of fraternity dances into a spec ial week-end would be entirely elim inated," Brandt 'stated.

"In the majority of cases, the fra ternities would only be affected in one or, at the most, two instances," the Council president explained. •'Houseparties and dances after major College functions would not be reg ulated under a Council mandate. The only dance dates that would be as signed arc pledge formals and the usual one other unclassified affair." • Fraternities hose been warned by President Brandt that their recom mendations for the 1934 rushing code !must be submitted to the Council's !rushing chairman before 4 o'clock to -1 morrow afternoon.
