Pushing
The necessity of a change in
rushing rules and procedures was
the solution which the Interfra
ternity council reached last night
to the problems brought about by
the reported rush week violations.
In a frank discussion which
came before the close of the
regular meeting at the Phi Kappa
Sigma house, council members al
most unanimously voiced disfavor
f the past rushing period and
sgreed on two changes to be con
ridered. They are: 1. the adoption
if a scholastic pledging require
nent; 2. giving the rushee a
onger period to make his decision.
The latter may mean the end
of deferred rushing at Minne
sota. Several members, in an
informal discussion following
adjournment, suggested fall
quarter informal rushing and
venter quarter pledging.
All agreed that five days was
too shoit a period in which to
give the fraternity and the rushee
i fair chance to make advanta
geous choices.
At the present time no scho
lastic requiiement exists for
rushees who pledge fraternities.
As a result the pled.se "mortality"
last year was over 20 percent.
The sub'ect of rushing was
brought up when Bcb Kolliner
said that unless "something was
done by the council" he would
submit "a number" of violation
accusations forma'ly.
It was decided that council
members will submit written sug
gestions for a new rushing plan
to Lloyd Gilmer, chairman of the
rushing committee, before next
Wednesday. Daily.

Engineer-Low
Not Blackstone, not John Mar-1
shall but the rules of the revered
Marquis of Queensbury prevailed
last night in a "contract' drawn
between an engineer, who packed
a dexterous wallop, and a lawyer
whose brief carried an ount of
fistical argument and viinse eye,
this morning, will carry a vulgar
lump known as a "mouse."
Yes, it was an "incident" of the
"Hildy day" banquet and dance
which celebrated Dean Ira P.
Hiklcbrand's fifteenth year on the
school of law faculty.
An eyewitness account of the
above incident would run like this:
Some 20 or so engineers were
clustered around the entrance to
the Union building muttering
darkly about having been evicted
from the Union lol.bv by Union
Manager Zively and his lieuten
ants when Manager Zivley sus
pieioned that a "kidnaping" of
Feregrinus, patron saint of the
lawyers, was being plotted.
Two lawyers emerge. An engi
neer says he would like to have
a "pass-out" ticket so he can go
in and scout around and maybe
hear of Peregrinus' whereabouts.
One thing is said and another is
piled on that until someone is
pushed. This results in a lawyer,
a small one he was, getting
slapped. At that point lawyer No.
2 says lawyer No. 1 is too small
to fight the lanky engineer. Law
yer No. 2 then removes his coat
snd glasses and files proceedings
against the engineer.

THE POOR LITTLE MAN
Bless His Heart.
Man comes into this world with
out his consent, and leaves against
his will.
In his infancy, he is an angel
in his boyhood, he is a devil and
in his manhood, he is anything
from a lizard up.
If he marries, he is a sucker if
he raises a family, he is a chump.
If he raises a check, he is a
thii-f and the law raises hell with
him.
If he goes to church, he is a
hypocrite if he stays away, he is
a sinner.
If he dcnates to a foreign mis
sion, he is doing it to show off if
he doesn't, he is stingy.
If he dies young, he had a won
derful future in front of him- if
he lives to a ripe old age, he is
just saving funeral expenses.
If he is a rich man, he is
crookc-d, but smart.
When he first comes into this
world, everybody wants to kiss
him and when he lives, everyone
wants to kick .

That Negro students are still to
be excluded from university dorm
itories as a matter of policy was
revealed in a report of the inter
racial committee of the Northwest
ern Student congress made Sun
day night following the refusal of
administration officials to consider
the plan of 15 Negro and white
girls for an inter-racial house next
year.
In turning down the committee
which approached him with the
matter last week. President-elect
Franklyn Bliss Snyder explained,
"I don't believe there are any spe
cial reasons. There are more
things on our hands than we can
take care of. ..the new technical
school. We are not in a position to
start an inter-racial dormitory."
In commenting upon an earlier
letter from Elias Lyman refusing
the plan Dr. Snyder denied his
knowledge of its contents. Defin
ing his own policy in response to
a request for a statement for in
terested groups, he declared:
"I cant explain anything. I
can't give any statement I don't
know what the groups are. Rea
son may seem invalid to some
groups and valid to others. We
just simply are not going to go
into it this year.".
Rollins replies to queries.
In response to queries by the
group as to why no Negro students
lived in university dormitories. Di
rector of Dormitories J. Leslie
Rollins pointed out that university
policy provided for the individual
development of every student. The
most democratic form of living,
he said, was that in which the stu
dent should have the right to select
the group with which he should
wish to live, and that the group
should, in turn, have the right to
select the individual to be a mem
ber of that group.
