IFC Stresses Rushing Rules Cooperation Of Rushees, Fraternities Sought With a record breaking number of: men registered for fraternity rush- ing this year, Don Stevenson, '42, president of the Interfraternity Coun- cil asked once more for close cooper- ation of both the fraternities and the rushees in seeing that the rushingt rules set up by the Council are strict- ly followed. Stevenson especially stressed the point that no fraternity men will be allowed in the dormitories after 6:30 p.m. and again warned that the use of cars or taxis for rushing purposes' is prohibited. Also to be noted are the regula- teons stating that any contact with a freshman over one half hour will be constituted as a "date," and that lunch dates must be over by 3:30 p.m. In the evening, rushing will cease for the day at 8:30 p.m. after which there must be no personal contact between fraternities and the rushees. Since Council rules provide that no freshman may accept more than eight dates with one fraternity, it is hoped that the rushees will see several fraternities before attempting to de- cide their preference. Rushing will continue until Thurs- day evening, Oct. 16, following which there will be a period of silence until Monday evening when pledging will take place.

Rich, '43, who said she was particu- larly sorry that the band didn't form the huge block "M" which they usu- ally form at the end of their half-: time formations. Disappointed but still hopeful, Jack Campbell, '42, stated that he realized "the band couldn't very well appear last Saturday. I'm sure that when they come on the field this weekend, though, it will be as much a thrill as ever for me." Don Kelly, '45, reported, "I saw the band at a game two years ago and thought it was very good. I guess they couldn't help it, but I'm looking forward to seeing the band next weekend." Michigan State sentiment is prob- ably typified by the words of Bob Barron, '44. M.S.C., who feels that the bands add a lot of color to the afternoon. Probably strongest rooter for the band was Herma Frieder, '43, who went so far as to say "The band is practically the best part of the game!" Tommie Davis, '44, said she missed the band "terribly." "I thihk it adds very much to the football atmos- phere." One of the few to alludes to the freshman demonstration at the game, Jim Wilson, '43, said that the band's appearance would probably have kept the freshmen in check. Only dissenter was George Collins, '45E, who stated with a blaze of class spirit, "It gave the freshmen a chance to show their school spirit." Architects To Hold Mixer Dance Today The ice will be broken between students and faculty of the Architec- tural School as both groups gather at the strictly informal garden dance and mixer which will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today in the Archi- tecture School Building and garden. The faculty of the school has been invited to attend by Dean Bennett, and architecture and design students, patricularly those who are freshmen, are urged to be present. This is the first social event of the current year which the Architectural Society is sponsoring.

Careful study by Uni- versity soil experts disproved this be- lief and the money was saved. The methods of soil analysis are now being applied to roads and air- ports. In these cases, however, Prof. H'ousel explained that the main prob- lem is to insure the pavement strength against the weight of large trucks and airplanes. To obtain samples of the earth at a proposed site, a steel casing about five inches in diameter is driven into the ground by a hydraulic hammer. Force Measured A , stainless steel "core-barrel," sharp at the bottom end, and con- taining "core-liners," or thin steel sleeves approximately one and one- half inches in inside diameter, is then lowered into the casing and the re- quired force is accurately measured. The tapered cutting-tip and design of the barrel serve to hold the liner in it proper place. Because the core-barrel is only about one foot long, most of the earth in the casing can be forced out by means of a high-pressure water in- jection apparatus which force-floats it to the surface. Sent To Laboratories The steel liner and its core of earth are removed from the casing, then inserted into a brass cylinder, MICHIGAN TODAY and Wednesday I Fried Spring Chicken French Fried Potatoes and Garnishes 40c Broiled Beef Tenderloin Sandwich 35c Italian Spaghetti with Meat Sauce 40c Grilled Juicy Hamburger ivi -h rin7 llv r- I l I I Screen play by Howard J..
