Panhel May Soon Abandon Fall Rush

Panhellenic Council infor
mal fall rushing may be aban
doned within , the next two
years.
In. a meeting with the - rushing
chairmen from each sorority, Dor
othy J. Lipp, dean of women, said
that by doing away with fall rush
ing, savings would be made finan
cially and in student energy. Sor
ority women could prepare whole
heartedly for spring rushing if
they did not have to hold fall
rushing.
No final decision has been
reached yet on the issue.
Some of the chairmen attend
ing the meeting said they felt
that they often got their best
pledge classes in the fall. Dean
Lipp said that the women who

men's average, the All-University frater-
I:e and the All-University non-fraternity
Ie the same, William E. Wise, assistant to
ir fraternity affairs, told the Interfraternity
Council last night,
Wise said that it was also the
first time that 35 fraternities
scored the same as or below the
All-University Men's average (2.33
for the fall, 1959).
"The only good thing about
this list is that several fraterni- 1
ties which previously ranked low
have moved up. Otherwise, it is
pretty discouraging," he said.
"You might note that the
freshman men made a marked
improvement as 47.1 per cent
of them received grades above
the 2.2 average required for
pledging. This is directly com
parable to the 1958-59 semester
when 44.4 per cent of them
achieved an average of 2.2 or
above," Wise told the council.
Included on the list of aver
ages were several statistics re
lating to the fraternities. Phi Kap
pa Tau made the greatest im
provement, moving from 51st to
13th in rank and therefore wins
the Sigma Chi Scholarship Im
provement Trophy.
On the other hand, 15 chapters
dropped 10 or more places in
rank and six chapters dropped 20
places or more.
The report also stated: "It is
discouraging to report that two
chapters ranked below the 2.0
average required for graduation."
They are Alpha Phi Alpha and
Omega Psi Phi.
In other business, the .newly
elected officers were installed.
I They are Ronald Novak, presi
dent: Chester Lucido, vice pres
ident and Benjamin Bronstein,
secretary-treasurer.
Lucido, IFC Ball co-chairman,
announced that tickets for the
dance will go on sale on Friday
at the Hetzel Union desk. The
ball will be held Friday night in
Recreation Hall.
Before the installation of offi
cers, Gary Gentzler, past IFC
president, announced that fresh
man men who have signed their
Housing contracts and paid their
$lO and been assigned to a room
may cancel that room if they do
so before April 25. Their $lO will
be refunded.

rush their second semester
would have to wait until the
'fourth semester if fall rushing
is abandoned.
Suggestions were made to have
open bidding for three weeks to
pick up coeds who did not rush
in the spring. No first-semester
students would be eligible for a
bid.
Another recommendation was
to have fall rushing just for stu
dents who had been on campus
the previous year and not trans
fer students. This would decrease
the number of rushees.
The major objections to this
plan is that junior transfer stu
dents would have three semes
ters as an active sorority mem
ber if they could not join one
until spring.
Dean Lipp said that an excep
tion could be made for junior
transfers but any other transfer
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 29. 1960
Agreement Made
Students Stop Picketing Barber Shop
Students stopped picket
ing Bunn's Barber shop at
2:30 p.m. yesterday but this
does not mean they are
"backing down," Stephen
Blum, chairman of th e
group's policy committee,
said.
Picketing stopped after a mu
tual agreement was made be
tween Kenneth Bunn, owner
of the shop, and the student
picketers, Blum said.
The joint agreement stipu
lated that picketing would be
stopped for a one-week "cool
ing -off" period while members
of the, as yet nameless, group
and Bunn discuss the issue, ac
cording to Blum. "This will be
mediation," he said, "not dem
onstration." Both parties agreed
to the statement, Blum said.
During this period, no Negro
Council Heads
Considered For
Cabinet Seats
The SGA Cabinet recom
mended last night that seating
college council presidents on
Cabinet be discussed at next
year's Student Encampment.
The recommendation followed
a long debate on a bill asking that
the SGA Constitution be changed
to include the college presidents
in Cabinet.
The bill wil be committed to
the SGA Reorganization Com
mittee. Jay Hawley, Rules Com
mittee chairman, explained that
it had not ,been placed on the
Assembly agenda for this week
because it involved a constitu
tional change.
_
The committee felt that the
same Assembly members should
discuss the bill at all of the
three meetings required for a
constitutional change, he said.
This would be impossible if it
were brought up for the first
time this week, since the new
Assembly takes over next week
after elections.
Walton Davis (Sr.-U.) propon
ent of the bill said he only wished
the issue to be taken up for con
sideration again and discussed on
the Assembly floor, rather than
have Assembly take action on it
immediately.
In other action, Cabinet recom
mended that a year-round corn

students would have to wait until
spring to rush.
If the plan to have only one
rushing period during a year goes
into effect, a suggestion was made
to have open houses held on the
weekend after spring registration
and then a two-week waiting pe
riod before formal rushing actu
f
'ally begins.
This would alleviate some of
the work that is concentrated
into the two weeks of rushing
and rush chairmen could start
the process of getting 'recom
mendations on rushees earlier.
The possibility of having a few
open houses in the fall for pro
spective rushees in order to orient
them to sorority life before they
rush was also suggested.
Dean Lipp said that in ten years
hence, it is likely that the entire
rushing program will have to be
revamped because of the large
number of women expected on
campus then.

student should attempt to get
a haircut at the shop and there
will be no demonstrations,
Blum explained.
"The fact that he wanted to
talk to someone is just what
we wanted," Blum explained.
In a statement issued after
the agreement, Bunn and the
student spokesman said: "It
should be emphasized that this
statement should not be con
fused so that it means either
side has backed down on its
original principles.
"A joint agreement of the
bases for mediation has been
reached and that is the sum
total of the action at this time."
In explaining the origin of
the student group, Blum said,
"This is a fantastic exercise in
group dynamics."
The group should not be
identified with other campus
organizations or political par
ties, he explained.
