PAGE TWO ';'..irs',o.i.:-,ernisties Will Begin . ciii - •Pledging Tomorrow Fraternity pledging will begin at 8 a.m. tomorrow, Thomas Schott, president of Interfraternity Council, announced yesterday. This is in accordance with the IFC rushing and pledging code which states: "No upperclass rushee may be pledged in the fall until 48 hours before classes begin." A rushee is any male student contacted by a fraternity for purposes of becoming a member. Penn State's 51 fraternities began fall rushing Monday. Many fraternities still report a short age of men. Approximately 575 upperclassmen have transferred to the campus and are eligible for fraternity membership. Acceptance Cards No first semester freshman may be pledged under the IFC code. Second semester freshmen who were on campus last year are per mitted to pledge, but second se mester freshmen who came to campus from other schools or Penn State centers may not be pledged. Freshmen who attended summer sessions at the College but who' have not completed one semester's wo r k may not be pledged. Any upperclassman may be pledged. No man will be recognized as pledged until his fraternity sends an official acceptance card to IFC and has payed the $2 pledge fee. Acceptance cards must be turned in by 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Student Union desk. If a man breaks his pledge he may not remain overnight in any fraternity or be pledged by an other fraternity for a period of 30 days. This does not apply to pledges broken by the fraternity. May Live as House Guests At present freshmen and upper classmen are rushed and pledged under slightly different condi 7 tions. Both groups must meet the scholastic standards established by .IFC. Standards require a 1.0 All-College or previous semester average before pledging or in itiation. Rushees may live in fraterni ties as house guests during Orien tation Week but may not break College dorm contracts to live there as pledges during the regu lar semester. The Dean of Men's office has announced exchanges between fraternities and the Department of Housing may be made if the fraternity submits two lists to the Dean of Men's office containing (1) names of men desiring to transfer to College dormitories, and (2) names and room address es of men living in dormitories who desire to be released from, their contracts to transfer to fra ternities. Although a student may pledge Equipment rack Hinders Opening Of Radio Station Delay in receipt and installa tion of critical electronic equip ment may prevent the College radio station; from becoming a reality early this semester, ac cording to David R. Mackey, as sistant professor of speech and general manager of the station. War contracts have caused a delay in delivery of many need ed item s, including essential translators. These will convert FM signals of the station's trans mitter into the AM band which is on nearly all radios. A second item on order is a new antenna which will extend about 15 feet above the roof of Sparks building and be topped by a large ring. Also waiting instal lation is studio equipment in cluding control board, turn ta bles, amplifiers and other elec tronic equipment. The transmitter is located in the basement of Sparks building. Studios are on the third floor. Student station manager is Jay Murphy, seventh semester ar t s and letters student. More than 90 candidates for both technical and non-technical positions on the station have been interviewed by Mackey during the past week. A call for fresh man candidates will be issued shortly, he said. Most technical work on the sta tion has been done by vCunteer engineers, students, and faculty members. Absence of many of these during the summer slowed station pr ogress considerably, Mackey said. Depate Squads Hold Intercollegiate Meets Competition with students throughout Pennsylvania and neigh boring states, and travel in New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Vermont are frequent occurrences for members of the men and women's debate squads. Freshman women need only placed on the freshman debate squad. Candidates are called early in October. Upperclasswomen are chosen for women's varsity debate squad at individual tryouts.
