NOW - DON'T RUSH
THE CODE ,
LAST NIGHT approsomately 500 men pledged
40 men's fi ate' ni
Thur., with fitting cm ernonies, the 1018 rushing
season came to a close.
It was a welcomed close to the freshman sushees,
who foi the past 10 days had been wheeled around
ftom Lateinitv house to halt mty hove at a
dizu gait
It vas a weicornel Cow to fi atm mty members,
vho fo, the past 10 days poetically wore out the
rages of the Student Handbook, nefcrung to the
lashing code before every alight move for fem
it may Le a violation
But, above all, it ww.. a welcomed close to the
Ru-lung Committee and Intel fraternity Council,
who stepped into the man-sized job of enfoi cote
a cede radically liniment from other yews that
it pi esentcd mate headaches than Hitli4 rs giveng
Europe
Yet, despite all the vexing problems that al._
Lound to wise with a new iushing code, only one
violation was reported and that easily could have

Foi, although the date eat ds did her.- a walnut,;

the luslimg code id , elf faded to mention a smgk
word about this
And aside from the newness of the code,
most cf the problems which did arise seemed
to ai Ise fi orn its utter vapueness ,
Now that the hectic season is at 411 end, it is
refieshing to note the stand taken by Raymond
Co..lcti y, president of Inteifiateri.ty Council
Unlike what night be expected from one in hi

He admits these me loopholes in the new code—.
loophole, foi which, incidentally, he is not iespon
mble
He admits, fm instance, that the informal con
tact pet lads, de.igned to pet nut freshmen to con
tact mme flatmates, proved to be a boomerang
with the lest& that many fraternity men monop
chzed a 1 ushee's time
HO admit, that there may have been .fight Shp
111:0. to admtmst,aton and enfot cement, ulna), at
rut al', only 'tutu' al to nett
But what is most important of all, he raises
no hulabaloo about scrapping the new code and
going back to the old, wornout regulations
that proved so inadequate
Instead, be urges tetention of the new code
with necessaty revisions
In this, the Collegian stands fully behind Cos
hely and congratulates him upon the good in,
he has done with such a difficult assignment
But it is because of this that the Collegian
hopes Cookery will not commit the same error
that was made by intertratermty Council last
year—the error of haste.
There is plenty of time between now and tho
en , ' of the .ehool yea' to revise the ip-w code and
