crowing along with the Uni

Lawrence E. Dennis, vice pres

In the five years since 1954, the
College of Liberal Arts has shown
an enrollment increase of 251, in
cluding 171 freshmen. In 1954,

There seems little likelihood the

The rebels want political ques

French deny that the rebels are

and rooms will be permitted.
The new code states that pro-!
spective rushees (defined as'

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

However, rushees may not
spend the night in any suite or

ority women spend the night in
a rushee's room unless the girl
is her sister, Also, no planned
entertainment in the sorority

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.

Class Rings
Being Sold
Larry Byers, vice president
of the Student Government
Association, said yesterday
that some class rings are being
sold which have not been ap
proved as the official Univer
sity class ring.
Byers, who is also chairman of
the Class Ring Committee, cited
in particular silver rings and
rings not bearing the class nu
merals.
The job of the Ring Committee,
he said, is to approve rings sold
by various companies and to des
ignate them as the official class
ring if they meet certain speci
fications
When a company wants to sell
a ring as the official class ring It
must submit a sample ring to the
committee, which checks speci
fications and also send it the Unit
ed States Bureau of Standards,
Byers said.
However, he added that the
committee cannot prohibit any
compan•; from selling rings.
In two or three weeks a list of
official specifications and the ap
proved companies will be pub
lished, Byers said.
Byer3 said the official distri
butors to date are Balfour, Dieges
and Clust, Herft-Jones and Col
lege Crest.
