SEPTEMBER 15. ifi SELF-GOVERN I NG: , Cook Residents Appreciate Distinctive Style of Living II By SHAR9N EDWARDS With Portia over the doorway and Venus in the hall, Martha Cook building is undoubtedly the center of more legends and myths than any other dormitory on cam- pus. For example, it is a firmly- enriched conviction of the major- ity of the students-male and fe- male--that Martha Cook residents all maintain an average of 4.0 or better. Needless to say, this is not only completely false, it's im- possible. The Building's architecture and furniture are a blend of English Gothic and Early Renaissance. Particularly well-known is the replica statue of the Venus de Milo which graces the long corri- dor on the ground floor. Venus lends herself to every occasion; she has been known to wear everything from an Indian sari to a Hawaiian grass skirt and lei for ccasions varying from house board elections to dances. Since Martha Cook building res- idents number never more than 150, are all upperclasswomen or graduate students, and have each made application for residency, they are a more close, friendly group than the residents of the larger dormitories. Acceptance for residency is based on a combina- tion of activities, scholarship, and individuality of contribution to the building. ARING THE FINISH--Rushing heads toward its climax, but there are itll the little jobs to do, the decisions to be made, and the stions and comments that take up much time and all the spare energy of fraternity members, IFC officials-and of course, those o are still waiting to ieceive their verdict. MASS MEETING-Feature of the first rush meeting is a movie shown by IFC members, describing rushing and fraternities. IFC Assists Fraternity Rushees the IFC office at 1510 Student Activities Building. Opportunity will also be afford- ed new students to sign up dur- ing the summer or at the mass rush orientation meeting Wednes- day, Sept. 30, Mueller added. The mass meeting was consid- ered to be another facility which could help more students find their fraternity. Here representa- tives from all fraternities are present, he said, and a rushee can gain a quick survey of all frater- nities on campus. Counseling Important However, Mueller emphasized the importance of rush counsel- ing as a means to de t e rmin e which houses to rush. He ex- plained that these men, making use of information provided them by the various houses plus their own knowledge of campus life, helps them orient a new student toward the houses that would probably suit him the best. Personal counseling will begin Wednesday, Sept. 23. After the open house period, rushees are invited back by the houses for smokers, lunches and dinners, so that actives and rushees can get to know each other better. Bids Extended The houses then extend !bids to the men of their choice. Mueller added that one bid does not make the rushee ineligible for others. When a rushee accepts a bid, he signs a pledge card which is due at the Dean of Men's office by October 19. At present there are 42 active chapters and two colonies on campus. The presidents of these houses compose the Fraternity President's Assembly, the legisla- tive body of the IFC. The organization includes five officers who are chosen annually: the president, executive and ad- ministrative vice-presidents, sec- retary, treasurer. Under these senior officers are committee chairmen of various standing committees,, including fraternity relations, rush, publications, serv- ices and office. w gip O gi r. , if 1 .
