THE MICHIGAN DAILY - £*! WPIV I PAM4m3W nnr SGC Gets Panhel Report; Dates, Difficulties Listed (Editor's Note - This is a sum- mary of the Panhellenic Association rushing report presented to Student Government Council last night.) By RICHARD TAUB The first part of the report gives and explains the mechanics of spring rushing. They are broken down into registration, mixers, second set, third set, fourth set, final deserts. The report then lists the prob- lems of scheduling a spring rush- ing period. They are: A) Mechanics: 1) Shortened intercession: Un- der the deferred rushing program which lasted from 1945 until 1952 close of final exams. The last time rushing usually started at the that spring rushing was carried out there was a 10 day period be- tween the close of finals and the _beginning of classes. Next year there will be only five days from the close of exams to the begin- ning of registration for second se- mester. Begins After Exams 2. The first calendar proposed included parties beginning the two days following the close of exami- nations. This was rejected by the research committee because: a. Increased expense to actives and rushees by forcing them to remain on campus when neither dormitories nor houses served meals, b. The fatigues of the exam period are still evident. The Of- fice of the Dean of Women has usually sent out a strong recom- mendation to all housing units strongly urging that all women leave the campus for this period. "I strongly urge that each woman student leave the campus dur- ing inter-session, if at all possible. You need the change after exam- inations; you will benefit from the relaxation before the long pull to spring vacation. One's health, perspective, emotions, and friend- ships will all function better for the recreation that the inter-ses- sion can provide." Grades Problem B) Grades In order to insure academic eli- gibility in compliance with the official University grades must be University regulations, complete released before pledging. At the time the study was made a year and a half ago, it was hoped and implied that official grades for first semester would be available during the rushing period. However, it has been found that although partial grade sheets are begun in the first week of Febru- ary, complete and accurate grades are not available until the last week in February. This year when the grades for only 400 pledges had to be checked for a Febru- ary 23 initiation not all were avail- able. C) Tabulation During the first week in Febru- ary the University Tabulating Services are in the midst of their heaviest work load. Grades for the first semester registration of at students must be compiled. In ad- dition the normal work of this de partment must proceed. For this reason, the Panhelleniu rushing blanks cannot possibly b processed with the quick servic that has been customary. Bruc Arden, supervisor 'of the service has requested that we allow tw days at the end of mixers, sec ond and third sets. The report then lists four sam ple calendars, and one final pro gram. First Calendar Calendar A is a sample schedul from "the Assembly-Panhelleni Rushing Study Committee." Mixers begin Feb. 5, the last da after a free day with the final des of registration; then, after a free day, the second and third sets are conducted. The fourth set comes serts on Feb. 20 and 21 following a free day. Pledging would be Feb. 23. According to the report there are three weak points in this cal- endar: rushing period would have to take more than two and one half weeks, because of time needed to get grades; more time needed for tabulation; Panhel commit- tee said it would be beneficial to the rushee if the "second set" was extended to eight parties. Assem- bly-Panhel study group did not consider this. Second Plan Calendar B uses a pattern sug- gested by the Panhel-Assembly study committee. Mixers begin Feb. 7, with two days set aside for tabulation after the third mixer. Second set takes1 four days, with three day break, third set takes two days, with two days for tabulation; fourth set takes three days with one day for tabulation; final desserts last two nights with one day for tabula- tions. Pledging would be March 2. This calendar was rejected "be- cause it extended . . . in the acti- vity program and brought concen- trated rushing within a week be- fore five week exams." Begins Feb. 23 In calendar C mixers begin Feb. 23 with two days for tabulation between each set except fourth and final desserts where only one day would be needed. It ends March 16 with pledging. It was considered because spring grades would be available and complied with SGC's ruling that rushing begin in the spring se- mester. It was rejected, because "it in- terfered even more than "B" with the academic calendar." Rushing would occur during five week exams. Mixers Separated Calendar D calls for isolation of the mixer period from the formal rush period. Mixers would be held Jan. 3, 4, and 5. The report said, "It has become apparent that the resumption of classes may be de- layed until January 6 . . . elim- inating all possibility of January mixers." Informal pledging would take place Feb. 16. Calendar E is the final sugges- tion. Registration is set for Nov. 11, 12 and 13 with mixers planned for the first week-end in Decem- ber. The second set would last three days beginning with Feb. 7. Two days would then be set aside for tabulating. The third set, a two day period, would be followed with another two day break for ' tabulation. The fourth set requires three days. A one day break for tabu- lation follows with the final des- serts coming in the next two days. Pledging would take place on March 2. "Due to the indefinite January calendar, December was the next choice . . . It seemed desirable to exclude the weekend preceding Christmas vacation, because of c heavy academic pressure and so- h cial events," the report said.
