out for American debaters, who
quoted many statistics and facts.
The six colleges against which the'
team competed prior to the Uni

him. Chaturvedi described the de
baters at Yale and Princeton as
"quite reserved," with the team
from St. Joseph's presenting the
only "fiery arguments." Both In

British of the American colleges
they had visited.
Political alertness is an out

interested in a "cultural regener

March 31 had been left an open
date so students would have a
break in the week's activities.
A Poster contest will also be
sponsored, Carpenter announced,
with the resulting posters being
placed in the windows of down

for the week. A prize will be
given to the fraternity and to the

"but there is a growing segthent
back—but not backward—toward
Eastern solidarity."
Sirkar, the theoretical member
of the team, mentioned he had
worked as a sub-editor of Eyran
pat-, a philosophical magazine. His
politics include applying com
parative religion and Ghandism
to international foreign policy. Al
though Chaturvedi wholehearted
ly agreed about the necessity of
Ghandism in promoting peace, he
denied that theory was sufficient
when presiding over the 800 stu

The debaters said India had

Formal Pledging
Begins Today
For Freshmen
Pledging of second semester
freshmen by fraternities formally
began at 7 a.m. this morning.
The seven days until next Sat
urday have been designated by
Bruce Coble, Interfraternity
Council rush i n g chairman, as
pledge week. He has urged fra
ternities to extends bids to rush
ees and pledge them during this
time.
Coble has asked fraternities
who pledge men during this week
to turn in official acceptance cards
and the $2 pledge fee to Alan Mc-
Chesney, IFC secretary-treasurer,
at Phi Kappa Sigma or to the Stu
dent Union desk in Old Main by
next Saturday.
This is so the council may list
the men as officially pledged and
do the paper work involved at one
time, he pointed out. No penalty
will be issued if the cards and
money are not turned in by this
time, he added; and fraternities
may continue to rush and pledge
throughout the semester. .
Requirements for pledging, as
listed in the IFC rushing an d
pledging code, are that the pros
pective pledge have a 1.0 All-
University average and be receiv
ing resident instruction at the
University. They are not recog
nized as officially pledged by the
IFC until the acceptance card and
pledging fee have been submitted.
The code furthermore states
that if a man breaks his pledge,
he may not be pledged nor remain
overnight in any fraternity house
for a period of at least 30 days.
This, however, does not apply
to pledges dissolved by sole ac
tion of. the fraternity, the code re
veals.
