Private ownership of land had
its h ~ginnings in history in an-
cient Egypt when that country
was a province of the Roman Em-
pire, Prof. Allan Chester Johnson
of Princeton University said yes-

Controversial changes in rush-
ing rules will be discussed at a
meeting of the Interfraternity
Council at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in
Rm. 316 of the Union.
House presidents will discuss the
proposed system of deferred rush-
ing, according to Harry Jackson.
IFC president. Under the pro-
posed system a student must be
scholastically eligible before he
pledges a fraternity. Under the
present system of rushing, any
student may pledge a fraternity,
but may not be initiated until he
is scholastically eligible.
A discussion of the proposed sys-
tem will be held at Tuesday's' meet-
ing, and house presidents will act,
on the measure, Jackson said. The
recommendation of the house
presidents will then be referred to
the Executive Council of the IFC
and the Student Affairs Commit-
tee.
The deferred rushing system was
used in the 30's according to Jack-
son, but was later abandoned in
favor of the present system.
The only other major change
proposed in the revised rushing
rules is that rushing be carried
out only in the spring. House pres-
idents will also act on this measure
at, the meting.
Jackson has also announced that
petitions for the positions of presi-
dent ; and secretary-treasurer of
IFC may be submitted any time
next week between the hours of 3
to 5 p.m. in the IFC office. Dead-
line for petitions is Friday.

Killich first became interested
in the business about 13 years ago,
when he was doing research work
for the Barrett division of the
Allied Chemical and Dye Corpora-
tion. "Most glass blowers today
are descendants of te old Ger-
man fanilies who first became
skillful in the art,' he explained.
"but sheer interest drove me into
the field."
No Danger in Trade -

aboo connected with the ancient
art. Killich expiressed strong
doubts that practicing the trade
shortens life or has any ill effects
on the human body. "Some glass
dust may get into the lungs," lie
said, "but with modern mechanical
devices used in the trade the dan-
ger, if any, is negligible."

Villagoe AVC
Is Checking
Lodge Food
The fruits of last fall's moves to
improve service at the West Lodge
cafeteria in Willow Village are cur-
rently under surveillance by the
Village chapter of AVC, which is
sponsoring a questionnaire to in-
Idicate the extent of that improve-
ment in the view of those who dine
there.
Results of the survey and an
interpretation of the results will
be available early next week, ac-
cording to Walt Hoffman, chair-
man of the local AV. HoffmanI
added that early returns of the
survey seem to indicate that the
Village tenants are, by and large
still dissatisfied with the cafe-
tera in terms of food quality,
preparation andl cost.
Numerous complaints a ong
these lines from Villagers last No-
vember pro ptel the AVC chap-
ter to call the situation to the at-
tention of officials of the dining
place with a request for corrective
action. The cafeteria is a Uni-
versity concession.
The questionnaire seeks to ar-
rive at an overall impression of
the residents' feelings in the mat-
ter with such leading questions as
suggestions f or improvement,
number of meals eaten there
weekly and the number that would
be eaten if service were improved.
Blanks were distributed through-
out the West Lodge area during
the past week.
