COMMITTEE REPORTS
RULES AS TO CLOSING BANQUETS
ON WEEK NIGHTS BROKEN.
PLEDGE DAY NEXT MONDAY
Recommends that Formal Rush Week
Be Abolished by Inter-Fraternity
Council, as It Is Contrary to
University Senate Rules.
During "rush work" two fraternities,
namely, Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi, vio
lated the University rule requiring
mid week banquets to close before 8
o'clock
In the case of Sigma Nu it 1b averred
that tVie hotel service was slow, and
although the participants entered the
banquet hall at (5 30, the dessert was
just being served at 8 o'clock. They
dispensed with the toasts and were
thus eHabled to leave the hall nt 8 If).
In the room where the members of
Sigma Chi held their banquet the
lights went out, and it was some fif
teen or twenty minutes before the
source of the trouble could be ascer
tained and the trouble corrected Also
the toastmaster, one of our worthy
alumni, who lias worked for the good
of the University and the betterment
of his fraternity, was not Informed
that the banquet, was expected to close
before 8.
Charges Not Substantiated.
blanket charge was made to the
effect thai several other fraternities
had been guilty of infracting the same
rule. All the fraternities were there
fore ordered by the committee on stu
dent organizations to suspend pledg
ing until this charge could be investi
gated. The committee finds that the charge
that othei fraternities have broken the
rule as regards the early closing of
banquets is not proven.
Those making charges against other
fraternities refused to substantiate
their statements.
The committee further finds that
while the early closing rule lias not to
its knowledge been technically broken,
the spirit of the rule has been broken
by practically every fraternity in the
institution.
In view of the above, be it resolved,
that Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi frater
nities be reprimanded and cautioned
not to repeat the offense, and that all
fraternities be debarred from pledging
and initiating boarding or rooming any
freshman until Monday, October 14,
1912, 12 o'clock noon.
Resolved, That the inter-fraternity
council be requested to prepare ruleB
abolishing a formal "ruBh week"; and
be it further
Resolved, That hereafter no parties,
ontertainmentB or functions involving
the presence of several students bo
allowed on other than Friday or Satur
day evenings without first securing
the consent of the committee on stu
dent organizations.

RECEPTION THE RULE FRIDAY
Churches of City Will Give Annual
Student Entertainments this Week
All Informal Affairs.
Friday night lias been selected by
the churches of the city for the annual
reception to University students Fol
lowing the precedent set last year, the
receptions of the different churches
are to be lit Id on the same night so
that the students' time will not be
broken up by a series of continued
receptions.
As featured by all the churches, the
affairs will be informal and will con
sist of entertainments of various
forms. Music, readings, games and re
freshments will be the order of the
evening In a number of cases. The
main idea Is to make the students wel
come and do away with formality of
any sort.
Ins Iceland and Howard, the Un
versity pastors, are to be present at
several of the churches and meet the
students there l)r and Mrs. I, eland
will attend the festivities of the First
Presbyterian Church, and Dr. and Mrs
Howard will be present at the First
Congregational Church part of the
evening and at the Plymouth Congre
gational Church the rest of the time.
Receptions wll be held in the par
lors of the St. Paul's Methodist Church
and In the Second Presbyterian
Church. Other churches have made
no announcements as yet regarding
the matter, but so far as can bo
learned they ate In accord with the
plan as tried last year and will pro
vide entertainments of some sort.

ALUMNI ASSUMING IMPORTANCE.
Numbers of Chicago Graduates In
creasing Greatly.
The University of Chicago Is plan
ning to give more attention to its
alumni during tlje coming jear than
ever before Alumni interests hae
languished somewhat hitherto, chiefly
because of the comparatively newness
of the institution and .the consequent
stnalj number of alumni At the pies
ent time the lJiig graduates of the
institution number between 5,000 and
0,000, and it is felt that the time has
come for more distinct recognition of
the Importance of this body of former
studeitts The improvement will ap
pear first in the arrangements for the
alumni ofilce, where a salaried clerk
will be in constant attendance and de
vote her whole time to alumni matters
This will make It possible to keep
fuller and more accurate records ol
alumni than the institution lias hither
to possessed and should lead to closer
relations between the university and
its graduates

With Half Money Subscribed Work
Will Be Kept Up Through Week.
The financial campaign of the lTnl
versity Y M O A. is scheduled to con

for this is that but one half of the

of raising from these is very bright, for
more than half the amount is already
