Rule Change
Hoping to raise the slightly sag-
ging scholastic average which dip-
ped .05 last. year, the Inter-Fra-
ternity Council has made two
changes in its rules regarding
scholastic eligibility of pledges.
The changes were adopted last
Friday during a two-day "retreat"
of fraternity presidents, IFC lea-
ders and administration officials
at nearby Zuckey Lake.
THE FIRST rule change pro-
vides that any fraternity pledge
who fails to make a two point
move its bias clause. Sigma Al-
pha, Epsilon voted its clause out.
two years ago.
Under previous rules, frater-
nities could keep pledges who
failed to achieve the two point
level necessary for initiation as
long as they wished.
The second change requires that
rushees, with the exception of first
semester freshmen, must have a
two .point over-all average before
they can pledge a fraternity.
IF. executive vice - president
John Baity, '55, estimated that
three to five per cent of last year's
pledges had less than a two point
over-all when they pledged.
Also announced at the retreat
was a reversal of the May 26 rul-
ing of the Student Affairs Com-
mittee forbidding IFC rushing
counsellors from participating in
rushing at their own houses.

An unexpected increase in the
number of freshmen women en-
rolled combined with a smaller
number of freshmen men than an-
ticipated, however, required con-
version of Chicago House in the
West Quad to housing f.or 119
women.
THIS IS the first time in the
history of the quadrangle that wo-
men have occupied any part of it,
and is the third of men's residences
to be turned over to women stu-
dents.
Vaughan House and two
houses in East Quad are already
filled with women to meet the
increasing female enrollment of
recent years.
Twenty-six girls are now being
housed in the old Delta Zeta sor-
ority house which was acquired
by the University during the sum-
mer for use as a cooperative.
The old Kappa Nu fraternity
house is being rented b'y the Uni-
versity to house 14 girls, though
not on a cooperative basis.
Further measures to increase
facilities for students were taken
when large doubles were con-
verted into triples and large
singles enlarged to doubles in
residence halls, providing accom-
odations for 467 students.
Final figures on dormitory
crowding due to increased enroll-
ment cannot be made until later
in the week, according to Shiel.
Rooms reserved by students are
held in their names until after the
first day of classes because fre-
quently there are late arrivals.
Students still living in dorm li-
braries.and lounges will be given
empty rooms when totals on those
failing to return are more com-
plete.
Perry Case Gets
Final Settlement
The long drawn-out case of the
Inter-House Council vs. Bob Per-
ry, '53E, was finally. settled in
June when Perry paid a reduced
fine of $15 for violating a Univers-
ity rule against "soliciting" in the
quadrangles during his successful
campaign for a Student Legisla-
ture seat.
