RUSHING RULES
Abolishment of Preferential

Revision.
FEW CHANGES EFFECTED
cotornities Receive Cards
For Fall Semester
Saturday.
Rushing rules for social fra
ternities, as set forth by the
Interfrnternity Council at a re
cent meeting, were formally
announced Saturday morning
bv Prof. E. F. Schramm, faculty
advisor to the council.
Rush cards were available at 8
. m Saturday for all groups at
which time they were permitted to
start dating prefects for rush
week in September. By Issuing all
cards at the same time, it was felt
that all fraternities would have an
mual chance.
"No leniency will be granted
fraternities whose members do
not observe the new rules," said
Prof Schramm. "This set of rules
is the result of years of experi
ment, and are the best we ever
had" He suggested that members
of the Interfraternity Council post
the rules on their bulletin boards
and acquaint their members with
those rules.
Preferential System Out.
One of the major changes from
last year's regulations is the aboli
tion "of the preferential system of
pledging. Last year a man posted
his choice of fraternity in the
council office before accepting a
