2 Fraternities
Are Warned
By IFC Board
• Two fraternities were given
reprimands last night for allowing
freshman men to become intoxi
cated while guests of their houses,
Interfraternity Council Board of
Control chairman Ellsworth Smith
said last night.
The reprimands were issued by
the IFC Board of Control. No fur
ther action against the houses was
taken. Smith declined to reveal the
names of the two fraternities.
Two freshmen who had been
drinking at Theta Kappa Phi and
one who had been drinking at
Alpha Sigma Phi were given dean
of men's office judicial probation
last night by the Association of In
dependent Men's Judicial Board of
Review.
Smith said the problem of fresh
men getting drunk at fraternity
houses is "increasing every week."
The reprimand issued last night
by the Board carries no penalty,
and is just a warning to the fra
ternities.
He urged three steps to ease the
problem:
1. Fraternities post at least two
men on door duty during week
ends.
2. House officers assume the re
sponsibility to see that no one
become intoxicated in their
houses.
3. Fraternities be especially
careful during this weekend be
cause it is a big weekend.
The only way for fraternities
to solve the problem, Smith said,
was for each house to assume the
responsibility about its own
guests.

students had been drinking at
Theta Kappa Phi while the other
first semester student had been
drinking at Alpha Sigma Phi last
Saturday.
The three, along with the third
semester student, who had been
drinking with friends at a room
ing house, returned to their dor
mitory, Hainilton Hall, later that
night and created disturbances on
their floors.
Judicial probation involves the
keeping of a record of the of
fenses in the Judicial Board's
files. The board may also require
the students to attend any of its
meetings, at the board's discre
tion, for an indefinite period of
time.
The board also stipulated that
it strongly disagreed with and is
against the serving of drinks to
minors in fraternities. The board
said that it felt the enforcement
of this rule had become too lax.
Two of the students who had
been drinking together at Theta
Kappa Phi later returned to their
rooms on the second floor of
Hamilton Hall where one of them
became sick in his room.
This student admitted that his
roommate was so upset following
this incident that he refused to
remain any longer in the room
that night.
The remaining first semester
student who had been drinking
at Alpha Sigma Pl 4 became sick
in the hallway of second floor of
Hamilton Hall as he was returning
to his room on that floor.
The third semester student, on
returning to his room, was twice
found sleeping in the hallway of
the fourth floor of Hamilton. •The
student, who was cited on creat
ing a scene, admitted to the board
that he hadn't been able to re
member a thing following his
arrival at the dormitory,
Four first semester students,
who had received recommenda
tions of disciplinary probation by
the board for being involved in
a water arid shaving cream battle
on the first floor of McKee Hall,
appeared before the board with
a letter of apology.
Following the board's recom
mendations, the Senate subcom
mittee on student affairs, after
hearing appeals by the students,
revoked the board's decision and
gave them office probation.
The students appeared before
the board and read a letter apolo
gizing for their behavior before
the board while their case was
being heard.
Out-of-Staters Onl :
ntrance Tests Set for 1955
By NANCY SHOWALTER
Out-of-state students who
wish to enter the University
in the fall of 1955 will have
to take college board examina
tions, according to C. O. - Wil
liams, dean of admissions and
registrar.
Until this time was decided,
non-resident students were chosen
on the basis of high school rec
ords if they were in the upper
two-fifths of their class. If they
weren't/ in the upper two fifths,
they could take an entrance exam
set up by the University.
Board Gives Tests
The College Entrance Examina
tion Board is a long-standing or
ganization which constructs and
administers these tests.
The UniVersity was voted in as
a member in October.
The purpose of the College
Board Examinations is to give ad
missions officers a common basis
on which to judge applicants.
10 Per Cent of Total
Since only 10 per cent of the
total University enrollment can
be out-of-state students, and many
of the applicants are unable to
enter. officials felt the College
Boards tests were badly needed,

Rubinstein
Gives Plan
For Writing
Craft is the only thing that can
be taught about creative writing,
Leonard Rubenstein, instructor in
English composition, told the
Belle Lettres Club members Mon
day night.
Rubenstein is the author of the
novel, "The Battle Done," which
depicts the crude world of a
I prisoner -of-war camp during
World War 11. His idea for the
book was drawn from experi
ence's he had while working as an
officer in such a camp.
Writing fiction creates experi
ence, Rtibenstein said, and there
fore, the author's job is not to tell
a story. A person undergoes
experience by establishing a rela
tionship with certain stimuli; so,
if the author portrays a pattern
of symptoms that is true and
valid, the reader will be able to
make the correct diagnosis of the
experience, Rubenstein added.
It is not the author's job' to
state, but rather to render truism
in fiction, Rubenstein said.
Rubenstein said form in writ
ing is imposed by the mind, and
is not inherent. A person cannot
be broadminded about his method
of writing While writing, he said,
but must maintain a strict disci
pline over himself.
Rubenstein said that writers
must know why the experience
about which they are writing
had the effect that it did upon
them. To discover the reason for
this effect, he said, requires a
painful self-investigation in which
the writer must be completely
honest with himself.
Rubenstein concluded, "A writ
er must have overwhelming arro
gance. He must have confidence
.that his vision is striking and
worthwhile."
