The new code states that pro-! spective rushees (defined as' freshmen, non-fraternity transfer! students and upperelasswomen, intending to rush) will be permit ted to visit sorority suites and , rooms in which sorority members! live, and that sorority women! may visit them in their rooms for, "social, study and activity rea sons." However, rushees may not spend the night in any suite or sorority room, nor may any sor ority women spend the night in a rushee's room unless the girl is her sister, Also, no planned entertainment in the sorority suites or rooms will be permit ted. Except for Coke dates no soror !Ay women may spend money on, prospective rushees such as ing them to dinner, buying gifts,! !etc. This also will not apply to sisters. Plans for open bidding and an informal rushing period following the formal rush in the spring were discussed for over an hour, but no votes were taken. The whole issue of any kind of rushing or !bidding apart from the two peri ods now set up was sent to com mittees. A new plan for open houses was adopted by a 15-5 vote last night. Under the new system each rushee will be required to visit every sorority suite during the open houses. All the rushees will be divided into groups of 20 and a sorority guide will take the groUps to each of the suites. The rushee will stay in each suite for 10 minutes. The sororities !will have a five-minute break !after each group leaves. This plan !has worked well at other schools and at least assures that rushees will see each sorority, according to several supporters of the idea. Open, houses will be held this year on February 20 and 21. This is a change from the previously decided dates. The date for regis tratieri for rushing was also changed to February 8.
