PAGE TWO Senior Class Ty. East Campus Entrance May Get $lO,OOO Gift "An entranceway to the east campus," not a memorial archway as reported by the senior class gift committee, is one of the five final suggestions for the $lO,OOO senior class gift, Thomas Hollander, president of the class of 1958, said. Hollander pointed out that an archway would be impractical, as heavy trailor trucks Panhel Kills 'Open Rush' Proposal A motion proposing "open rush ing," which would make sorority rushing similar to fraternity rush ing was defeated by the Panhel lenic Council , last night, and a system of preferential bidding for informal rush was approved. The preferential system re places the previous system used for informal rush in which bids were submitted directly to the rushee from the sorority. With that system, the rushee could re ceive more than one bid. The "open system," which was defeated, would have permitted oral bids and invitations to rush ees and entertainment of rushees outside of the suites. The preferential system will use the IBM machines for the en tire bidding procedure. The pref erence list of the rushee will be matched with the preference list of the sororities. Compulsory reg i s tration for rushing and the ruling that all visits by rushees after open houses be preceded by a written invita tion were retained from the rush ing codes of previous years. The council also passed the mo tions that rushing be from 1:30 to Bp m. Mondays through Fri days and that no men be per mitted in the suites during rush ing. Gatherings in any residence hall room other than chapter rooms will not be permitted. Alum Fund The Alumni Fund is ex pected to hit the $1 million mark in alumni giving some time this year. The fund, organized in 1953 to handle and promote alumni giving, has collected almost a mil lion dollars in five years. The gifts have supported such projects as the Helen Eakin Graduating seniors may ob tain memberships to the Alum ni Association at a desk in the Hetsel Union Building and the Alumni Office, 104 Old Main.

The suggestion, as adopted by the gift committee, read "Me morial Archway for Shortlidge Road." Hollander says that it is impossible to specify Shortlidge Road, because future construction and expansion may relocate the east end of campus. James H. Coogan, assistant di-1 rector of public information, said, "The Trustees would decide on , the location of the entrance if, that project is selected to receive the $lO,OOO gift." Walter H. Wiegand, director of', the physical plant, said present plans include the Shortlidge Road and College Avenue intersection as a major entrance to campus. However, this is not east, accord ing to University plans, but south. He says the entrance to the east I campus is by the sewage disposal plant, near the home management houses. A highway cloverleaf for route 545 is being planned for this area. Walter W. Trainer, head of the division of landscape constructionl and maintenance, in 1938 drew up plans for entrance gates ate, both Shortlidge and Burrowes I Roads.'His plans for the Short lidge Road Entrance specify a brick structure, capped with lime stone. Pillars on either side of the road would curve outward. Steps would lead to the sidewalk. Trainer is doubtful if $lO,OOO would be sufficient to construct the entranceway because if in creased building costs. Trainer's design for the Bur rowes Road entrance is a gate with arches on either side of the road. When questioned as to a prob able location of the east campus entrance, Trainer said he didn't know where it could be located if not gt Shortlidge Road. Richard Zeller, co-chairmen of the senior class gift committee, said the proposed entranceway, l if selected for the gift, will be (Continued OIL page five) May Hit $1 Million comes from the Commonwealth.

The fund was set up to provide such things as library acquisi tions, scholarships, art collections and other "extras" which "con tribute to the social, cultural and spiritual life of the student body." Gifts to the Alumni Fund hive ranged from $1 to several thous and dollars. Most have been in the $lO and $25 group.
