FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1960 Transfer Rushing Now Being Judged The first session of the fraternity guest plan came to an end this week, and the success of the project will be de termined by the dean of men's office as soon . as all the statis tics can be evaluated. The plan was part of last year's directive which com pelled all transfer students and students who changed their as signments from one of the Com monwealth Campuses to live in ,University dormitories or, if ;planning to rush fraternities, to ilive as a guest of an assigned ;fraternity for three weeks, pay iing $3 a day for room and board. At the end of three weeks the istudents in fraternities could do lone of three things: •Stay in the house at which they were a guest. I *Pledge another fraternity. *Not pledge any fraternity and ;live in a residence hall. According to the latest Inter iFraternity Council figures, 74 :transfer students took part in the 'program. Thirty-eight pledged the houses to which they were as signed; - seven pledged other fra ternities and nine moved to the ,residence halls. Fourteen, al though assigned, never Moved in ,to the fraternity houses at all; two left their house before the period was up; two, with special :permission. moved downtown and one moved back to his original campus. Of 10 fraternity presidents and : rushing chairmen questioned. all said that the new system was a ;boon to fraternity life. Michael !Scott, rushing chairman and vice :president of Alpha Chi Rho said :he believes "that the system is ; beneficial to the fraternity and the guest. It gives many uniniti ated men an inside view of fra ternal life." Of six transfer students inter viewed, all said that the rushing iprogram was too short. Although ;the guest stays at a house three :weeks, they said, no house but the one at which he stays rushes hint during orientation week. !leaving him only two weeks to visit other houses. SGA OK's Song, Cheer Competition Student Government Asso ciation Assembly unanimously approved a bill last night call ing.for SGA to sponsor a song and cheer contest to promote school spirit and provide the University with new cheers. The bill, sponsored by Barbara Backman, (C.-Soph.), Rebecca Iladden, (C.-Soph.), and Joan Cavanagh, (U.-Soph.), suggests that SGA set up a committee with a chairman from SGA. Other members of the committee would include representatives from the Block 'V Club, cheerleaders, and the Department of Music. This committee would judge the cheers which would be submitted by students. The contest will be held from Oct. 8 to Nov. 4. First, second and third. prizes will be blocks of 6, 4 and 2 tickets, respectively, for the game with the University of Pittsburgh on Nov. 19. Miss Hackman, in presenting the bill, remarked that the signi ficance of the proposal lies in the fact that the last new Cheer the University has dates back to 1953. The rest of the four cheers which nre - used, she said, are of 1947 vin tage. ARTEMIS ramommai Understudy for a perfect fashion performance...
