Dorm Visits

Mr. King remarked that dorm visits were
being conducted on a hall basis instead of an
individual basis this year in order to get to a
"greater number of people," the object being
to stress "the whole system not just a particular
fraternity."

He added that the IFC is "pushing to have a
really big rush" this year without rivalry
between houses. A number of rules have also
been changed in an effort to make rush "more
realistic." According to Mr. King, fraternity
men are now allowed to go into dorms to visit
students, to give rides to first-yearmen, and to
talk about fraternities at any time. Striking out
past restrictions in these areas is also intended
to make rush "a little less formal."
