T7" nn "fill ivinffston i no Mere In March 18 Show Vol. 33, No. 65 IFC Passes Rusli Sneak Proposals Amendment Voted Down; Enforcement Questioned Limitation of high school rushing and regulation of pledge sneaks have resulted from IFC legislation Wednes day night. The rulings passed as pro posed by a special IFC com mittee selected to consider the problems. Rushing Limitation The high school rushing rule prohibits rushing of high school students during the period beginning with the termination of Rush Week and ending on June 1 with several Root-Tilden Law Grants Available R o o t-Tilden Scholarships valued at $7,200 are available for the New York University School of Law.

All candidates are required to take the Law School Ad missions Test which will be given on Feb. 21. University Celebration '85: Came Tumbling By Sondra Whalen Although Charter Day 1959 will be observed quietly, this will probably be more agree able with the Lincoln populace than an 1885 Charter Day ef fort. With the discovery that the student newspaper, "The Hes perian," was approximately $20 in debt, staff members de cided a Charter Day celebra tion would be just the thing to put them in the black, as well as showing proper University patriotism. Plans Elaborate plans for a gala show were made even includ ing a German play. Practices began, advertising was start- Travel Aid Offered To Foreign Students Scholarships for $50 are available to foreign students for summer travel. Information can be obtained by contacting the foreign student advisor, in Room 112, Teachers, or by writing to the Council on Student Travel, 179 Broadway, New York 7, N.Y. Pershing Rifles Plan Smoker ROTC freshmen and sopho mores may attend the Persh ing Rifles smoker Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Union Parlor Z. The movie "Highest Ideals" will be part of the program. chjves The Daily exceptions such as All Sports Day and Saturdays of Uni versity home football games. Tom Neff, IFC treasurer and member of Delta Tau Delta presented the resolu tion regulating pledge sneaks. He explained that his fra ternity had voted by a large majority Monday to have him take this action. (Delta Tau Delta was recently involved in a sneak incident in which an active was kidnaped.) The ruling requires the pledge class to register infor mation about the sneak at least one week prior to the date of the sneak with the executive Council of the IFC Pledge sneaks disrupting classes are prohibited. Amendment defeated An amendment to make the exceptions to the high school rushing rule include the Fri days before home football games was the only change proposed in the drafted pro posals. Neff emphasized in propos ing the pledge sneak regula tion that this In no way would mean that the IFC was con doning or encouraging pledge sneaks. "It would only act as a re strictive measure upon those who plan to take them." Neff said. Enforcement The question of enforcement was dominant in the discus sion of these restrictions and two general plans were men tioned. Bob Krumme, IFC secre tary, told the Daily Nebras kan that the IFC executive Committee has the power to enforce any rulings which the IFC makes. Any executive committee member must accept written charges of infraction when they are presented to him, Krumme said. Come From Within Bob Blair, Sigma Alpha Epsilon representative, an swered the question tf en forcement with the statement, "Any enforcement of these rules will have to come from within." "Unless we have the inten tion of really obeying these regulations to the letter," Blair said, "we should not pass them." Blair pointed out that most of the voting members of IFC were house presidents and that they thus had the power to enforce these regulations explicitly in their respective houses. ed and tickets were sold with' high hearts and hopes. Then the roof fell in, or rather the show fell through. The German play was the last to withdraw, leaving the show sponsors two alternatives, ac cording to the paper. ". . . the board had to ack nowledge, their inability to get up a show or commit suicide individually and collectively." PeriT They avoided both solutions however, and instead began advertising even more inten sely. The show was for stu dents only, they broadcast, city people should come "only at their Deril." Naturally, the "city people" came in droves. After making sure the hall was filled and all 15 cents and 2 for 25 cents tickets were sold, the students proceeded to climb down ropes, out the windows and through back doors, leaving a small orches tra playing the same song for the fifth time. Finally even the orchestra left as the audience grew more and more restless uid indignant comments filled the room. At last one of the member's of the audience walked up on the stage and pulled back the curtain revealing a boldly let tered sign. ' "Performance postponed on account of sickness and stage fright.
