PAGE TWO Revision Needed 'Rushing, is over and sorority girls have re turned once more to the normal life. Although it' s a thing of the past, none of the 18 houses on campus have forgotten this last rushing period and it's likely that they won't forget it for a long time. Not a day went by that floods of "dirty rushing" complaints didn't flow over dinner tables and within the confines of the sorority houses. Yet, not one specific complaint was lodged before the Panhellenic Council. Running rampant were such outright offenses as use of the telephone for making dates before the hour specified by the. Council, housing rushees over night, talking to them after hours, and ob taining dates for prospective pledges. Sorority girls saw their competitors in other houses com mitting these flagrant violations but did nothing about it. Some went so far as to warn the-offend ers that they'd better watch out or else . . . but no complaint was brought before" Panhellenic Council. Why does this situation exist? Why do some houses get by with shady methods while others . follow rules, sometimes losing out as a conse quence? The answer is an obvious 'one: Pan hellenic Council is organized in a mariner that discourages reporting and punishment of sorori ties which violate its rules. Panhellenic Council has• sensed the .situation and is doing something about it. At its Tuesday meeting, sorority representatives were asked to submit criticism of the present system with view to reconstruoting the old rushing code, which certainly could stand a thorough 'house-cleaning. The most glaring objection to the present sys tem is the method of bringing an offense before the Council. As it stands, a representative of the sorority making an accusation must appear before the Judicial Committee of Panhellenic . ;Council, composed of four student sorority mem !hers, one "stray Greek," and three graduate ad- visors - Here she must state her complaint and liack it with definite proof. Although this session is supposed to be absolutely confidential, the name of the sorority making the mistake has, in the. past, frequently leaked out. Fear of this, and the unfavorable reputation and ill-will that would be showered on the accusing sorority, as 4 well as the difficulty encountered in finding def inite proof for an offense such as a before-hour telephone call, has kept sororities from making complaints to the Council. The second outstanding objection to the present system is the strenuousness of an intensive ten day period of rushing, causing lag in class at tendance, lack of preparation, and•dangerous loss of sleep. Sorority girls might just as well sub tract ten days from their program of getting edu cated. These two objections to the present Panhellenic Council must be corrected before the next rush ing .pe - riod. f not, there will be even more "dirty rushing" for gradually the sororities that have been "playing it square" will find themselves losing out and get on the band wagon out of necessity.

Players' murder Macbeth, while Macbeth took the liberty of murdering his lines as well as doing leway with Duncan, on Satwday night. Before taking his cue for a hasty exit at the end of the second act, Dingy cursed himself roundly for not giving up Ham for Lent. The following little poem, While still incomplete, was written between yawns by Dingleberry. The 'fourth line will be written as soon as he can think of a word that rhymes with sphinx. Neu§baum, Neusbaum Ho-hum, ho-hum, act arbeth, Macbeth . , • Impressed by the acting of Henry Glass as the Porter and the three gravel-throated witches, Dinglelberry felt that the director should have taken a 'few more liberties with the ;Play and given these ;roles more importance. What did he have to lose? As for the •portrayal -of Lady Macbeth, J. Sol vency would make use an old nautical term and say, '"Avast, Sevast!"

We hereby record it for porterity and the Mural -ComMittee in -case any doubting Thomas asks "Who in the hell ever, looks at this mural thing?" The student's name is James Brewer, a junior in the School of .Agri-; culture. . . . J.
