PLEDGE LIMIT SET
BY HAT SOCIETIES
Agreement Restricts Skull and
Bones, Parmi Nous to 20
New Members Bach
Skull• and Bones and Parmi Nous,
upporciass hat societies, have agreed
to limit their number of pledges to
twenty men each. The agreement
was drawn up by Clyde H. Cole '34,
president of Skull and Bones, and
John_ A., Clark 111, '34, president of
Parmi Nous. This is the first time
that such an agreement has been made
between the two societies.
This will mean a reduction of about
ten members for each organization,
since both of them now have approxi
mately thirty men. Another agree
ment which they have made is that
no men will be initiated by either or
ganization unless they have paid their
membership fee before hand.
Board to Act as Judge
'. A copy of this agreement will be
deposited with the Student, Board and
it will act as judge in case of infrac
tions. The president of Student Board
will call together the presidents -of
the t*o.sOcietias Wore every election
and read the agreements to them..
;Mulct* the , pro Visions drawn Up, 'the
men which each society bid will be
arranged in order of preference, and
ihen ,the. president of. the organiza
tion, or. some appointed assistant, will
take the bids to the men, ,personally.
No more than twenty bids can be giv
en, and if, after all. the bids have been
delivered and • some. of them are not
accepted, the society may continue
bidding until the quota has been filled.
Another innovation is that the new
members will be tapped at the 'Wove-
Up Day Dance, April 28. The elec
tions of the new members will be held
on either" next Thursday or Friday,
so that the newly-elected class officers
may be pledged. The initiation will
take place during the next week.
