Petition: am Ms or Entrance In Ivy Sing Kosmet Klub has received a pe tition from the Residence Assoc iation for Men for entrance of the RAM Glee Club in the Ivy Day singing competition. The RAM is proud to be able to offer the services 'of its Glee Club in helping to make the Ivy Day sing an all-campus event," Douglas Jenson, RAM president said. Kosmet Klub invited the RAM to compete last year, but Selleck Quadrangle had no glee club organization, Jenson said. 'Kosmet Klub is happy to see this interest on the part of RAM in the Sing," Von Innes, Kosmet Klub president said. "There are, however, several complications," he continued. "The RAM Glee Club represents some 800-900 men, while a iraternity chorus would repre sent a membership of 100 at the very maximum." "Personally, I feel that it would be unfair to place the RAM Glee Club in competition for that rea son," Innes said. "Also, at the present time the Kosmet Klub con stitution states that they shall spon sor an 'Interfraternity Sing' on Ivy Day." "If the Innocents-Mortar Board committee on Ivy Day would allow the time, the Kosmet Klub would like to see the RAM Glee Club in cluded on the program this year as a guest group, not entering the competition," Innes said. Possibly this could be expanded in following years to include the various dorm houses and men's cooperatives in the competition," Innes said. The RAM Glee Club has been organized since last fall, under the direction of Dick Oehring, and is fully prepared to enter the Ivy Day sing, Jenson said. ' Dorm: Olson Co.

Kappa Sigma fraternity, whose work on a new house began on September 6, 1955, hope to see the building completed by the end of May, according to Jan Pickard, past president. The new modern style house will consist of two connected buildings, one contain ing the library, living room and house mother's quarters, and one containing the dining room, study and sleeping quarters. The latter are unique on the University campus, Pickard said, being neither dormitory nor study room style. Instead, each four man sleeping room will be flanked by two-man study rooms. The house, built at a cost of $214, 000, will accomodate 72 people. Dissatisfaction with the location and condition of the present house was given as the reason for mov ing.

It will be located on the corner of 16th and Vine. The modern brick and stone structure will accommo date 48 -to 64 people.

Health Day Panel Talks On Stress An international authority in the field of stress in everyday living said Thursday afternoon that "we should accept a certain amount of stress as Inherent in life and only fight stress where it obviously weakens, wears out and results in disease. Dr. Gunnar Heuser, research as sociate at the Institute of Experi mental Medicine and Surgery, Uni versity of Montreal, appeared on a panel at the annual College Health Day. Dr. Heuser said it has been shown by experiments that the body reacts to stress with a very typical set of symptoms. "This response leads the organ ism into a stage of adaptation to stress. It is a normal reaction of a normal organism. Only if stress is too severe or too pro longed, or if the body's reactions become deranged, disease ensues. This should be prevented.

The interpretation, as approved in December, 1953, by Acting Chancellor John Selleck, stated that IFC and Panhellenic are sub ject to the faculty Senate com mittee on general organizations and the Dean of Student Affairs. "These groups may take no ac tion that conflicts with University policy or rules though they may make such regulations affecting only fraternities and sororities as they may desire," the approved interpretation stated. This interpretation is in effect until further administrative action, Andy Hove, Council president, said. This policy states that the Council has no authority over fra ternities and sororities but Coun cil jurisdiction over organizations thereof are not forbidden," Marv B res low, CCRC, said.
