Delayed Action
Our biggest gripe against the Greek system has always
been centered around rush week. Many aspects of rush
week disappointed rushees, behind-locked-doors dealing
ana nign pressure sales talks are unavoidable to a great
extent, but there is one drawback that can be eliminated.
We think the Interfraternity Council would be doing a
good thing if it set the date of rush week in the middle of
October. The later date would cut down the confusion of
registration, etc., which always attends the opening of the
ian term.
More important, we think,
more time to get to know the freshmen, and, in the words
of Cicero, vice versa. The fraternities would have a better
idea of who they want. At the same time, the rushees would
nave a better idea of which group they wanted to fit into.
Late rush weeks are common in American universities.
We think the Greek system at the University would be im-
proved Dy a later rusn week.

Wisconsin Offers
Five Suggestions
A sub-committee of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin has set up some
meaty suggestions to narrow the
widening student-faculty gap.
These include:
1. Late afternoon and nieht
classes should be eliminated.
2. A dairy bar should be set
up at intervals on campus, where
students and professors could
meet between classes.
3. Faculty-student clubs should
be planned on an informal basis
to promote faculty-student rela
tionships outside classes.
4. Students should be made
members, of the University com
mittee on lectures and convoca
tions and should help to plan
symposia on issues of campus in
terest. 5. - Student political activity
ihould be stimulated.

value to the state and the cattle
industry.

members viewed the proposed
work with optimism. They praised
the co-operative efforts of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture's
Bureau of Animal Industry and
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion of the University in the pro
ject. The group was accompanied to
Fort Robinson by Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson and others from the
University. Dean W. V. Lambert
and Marvel I. Baker of the Ani
mal husbandry department told
the Board that from 1,200 to 1,500
cattle will probably be stocked on
the station.
