Rushing occurs when a freshman or upperclassman is invited to a fraternity to visit the hottse and meet members. He is then con sidered for possible membership. No freshman may be pledged to a fraternity until his second semester. Upper classmen may be pledged starting 24 flours before classes begin. When a person pledges to a fraternity, he makes an agree ment for membership into that fraternity. Fraternity rushing and pledg ing on campus is regulated by the Interfraternity Council rushing and pledging code. The code was set by representatives of national fraternities and members of the College administration. Dorm Contract Releases In the code, upperclassmen are defined as students in the sopho more, junior, and senior classes. A fraternity may invite any up perclassman to_ live in the house providing he does not have a dormitory contract with the Col lege. Neither freshmen nor upper classmen are allowed to live in fraternities until their dorm con tracts have expired. According to the code, rushing may not interfere with regular Orientation Week activities for newcomers' to campus. Neither rushees nor fraternities are obli gated to each other and there is no limit to the number of fraternities which may rush a particular stu dent.

No fraternity may offer pledgeship to a student who is not receiving resident in struction on the campus at State College. No rushee shall be recog nized as pledged until IFC re ceives an official acceptance card from the fraternity and $2 pledge fee. Under a system worked out last year, students may be released from dormitory contracts if the fraternity can find another stu dent to move into the room,, va cated by the rushee. To get stu dents released from contracts, the fraternity must submit two lists to the Dean of Men's office con taining (1) names of men desiring to transfer to dormitories, and (2) names and room addresses of men living in dormitories who desire to be released from contracts. If a rushee breaks his pledge, he may not remain overnight in any fraternity nor be pledged by an other fraternity for 30 days. This does not apply to' peldgeships dis solved by the fraternity. IFC is empowered to interpret this code and enforce penalties. It takes a Russian worker 7 hours and 48 minutes to earn tft pound of bacon that the average Americat employee earns in half an hour.
