TITE DAILY NERRA8KAN M i) W RUTHLESS MANDATE WORRIES CROOKED CO-EDS Pledge Day Is Indefinitely Postponed by Head of Inter-oororlty Conucll on Accusation of Illegal Rushing. A ft or li' 111011I Iih of continuous mid igorous "mulling," with dozens of tired Hoioiiiy girls, resting on their ojitb, bo to speak, the irridoscent bub1 bio of hopes and well laid plans burst with the announcement that pledge day was indefinitely postponed. MIbh Conklln, who on her own authority is sued this mandate, was the subject of severe criticism when the girls learned of her action But all that was minor compared with what they had to un dergo through the inter-sorority coun cil when they wero told without a mincing of words that they wore living In doceit and wore found od on a fabric of lies. Bids will be sent to MIbb Conklin Thursday noon, but she will not send them out until somo indefinitely later date. Simultaneously with the announce ment last week, the pipe of peaco was hidden ami warfare renewed among tho Greeks There was a variety of work to be done and certain "niBhoes" who were not yet spiked, must bo spoken to privately and decorated with a "Hands Off" sign Several amusing incidents are told of, especially in one easo where a prominent sorority girl was known to call up a rival and re quest her "as a matter of honor" to let a certain freshman alone who had already been dishonorably "spiked." It is stated that there are at least fivo fraternity jewelers in town who are waiting to take orders from the pledges to be They are naturally in clined to be emphatic in their opinion or rather their denunciation of uni versity laws. Tho co-eds also are harBh in their criticism of the mandate, claiming that after tho unusual financial burdens in curred by Becond somoBtor pledging, It is unfair to prolong tho unnecessary expenditure, and that tho present do lay is both uncalled for and unwarranted.
