Tji Unhiersily would then make the refund to the stu dent leaving, and the student mov ing in would pay. This arrange ment was made so that the Uni ersity will have a record of all monetary transactions. 3 Refunds will be made to all students leaving because of illness a death in the family or disciplinary reasons. The reason given by Branch for the new policy was that a loan had been received from the federal Government for construction of the new campus dormitories ( Parker, league, and Avery). To obtain this loan, he said, a statement had to be signed that revenue from all UNC dormitories Including increased loom rent, above the maintenance and operating costs, had to go toward payment on the debt. n tlie part an estimated 150-200 ftudents have been moving from the dormitories and receiving re funds. Branch stated that under the present financial conditions the University couldn't afford "that type of thing." Branch said, "We rent rooms on two main bases. One. we allow up- Ier classmen to retain their old rooms In the spring if they wish. The remainder of the rooms are rented to incoming studjents on first come, first serve basis." He went on to 'point out after all rooms wvre filled few still came, finding housing off campus but some were discouraged from at tending Carolina at all. Then if those whoreohfd dormi tory rooms started leaving, it was too late to accept those students who had been discouraged from coming. The University consequent ly lost money beeause dormitories were not filled to capacity. Fraternities were considered in making the decision, but Branch stated that first consideration had to go toward housing accomodations on campus and the debt obligation.

Fraternities Use Different Methods By DAVIS B. YOUNG and JAMIE HOLMES (This is the second in a series on fraternities being written by Davis B. Young and Jamie Llolmes, members of the Daily Tar Heel editorial staff.) Bound up in the intricacies of being accepted by a fraternity is ttie risk pf being "blackballed." Because each fraternity will be rushing many times as many toys this week as it can possibly take in its pledge class, it is oily logical that hunireds of boys will be rejected in this way from i.t lest one house by the end of - Rush Week. One fraternity leader comment ;d, "Do not worry if you are tailed from many houses. This is something that we have all been through. There isn't a. man on campus who has ever been through rush who hasn't been blackballed liomewhere along the way." BLACKBALLS TAKE MANY FORMS Blackballing can be achieved sthrough many different firms. Magi I! by his office and checked befoie they are sent to the dean of worn The change is primarily an ad ministrative one. "We are taking seme of the work off the dean of women's office," Magill explain ed. The rules for getting a party approved "will be precisely the same as last year," Magill asserted. To get a function approved it must be-reported - at- least threr days prior to the day of the func tion. Requests for approval will uot be accepted after 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday prior to the weekend j when the function is to occur. The parties are approved for the convenience of the fraternities, Ma gill said. Carolina Coeds except for some students in SNursing School attend parties which are not ap proved, but other girls, schools re quire the parties be approved be fore their students go to them. '59 Med School Entrants Urged To Apply Soon Dr. E. M. Hedgpeth, chairman of the committee on admissions of the UNC School of Medicine, yes terday urged all those applying for admission in September, 1939, to file their applications promptly. He also reminded applicants that the Medical College Admissions Test will be given on Tuesday, Oct. 28, 1958. This test lmust be taken by all applictits fylr admissijon in September, 1959. Tho deadline for signing up for the test is Oct. 14. Information on the test may be obtained from the Testing Service in Peabody Hall. PLEDGE TRAINING One is to simply not invite a rushee back to the house again. Or, perhaps, an "ax man" has been chosen to politely inform an unwanted rushee he has not "passed inspection." A third form is by vote of the actives: by a process of elimi nation a list of an average of twenty boys is compiled who haye r.ot been disapproved by any one active. In most cases, "it is necessary to be accepted by ..every mem ber, of a fraternity house before you may pledge. This is to en able the fraternity as a unit to be satisfied with its selection of you."- RUSH CHAIRMAN IS BOSS-MAN The fraternity member who is in charge of .guiding his house through Rush Week is the rush chairman.

In some cases, . fraternity rush chairmen also write to especially desired-for members during the summer months. PLEDGE MASTER TAKES OVER After a rushee has pledged he is under . the jurisdiction of a pledge master. Although hazing is prohibited by the IFC, a pledge has certain "duties" to fulfill. A few examples from last year's pledge class of various fraterni ties is typical: a system of scrutiny as well as "Our duties we fa few.

Once every two weeks I was called upon to, be delivery boy for everyone at the house who desired a midnight snack. I made a list and re turned around 1:00 a.m. with some forty-odd requests.". Another now active5 member re calls this about his pledge days: "There is, of course, the disad vantage of being at the mercy of the brothers for the greater por tion of your pledge jear. In my fraternity, oir pledge class had weekly meetings under the juris diction of a brother who acted as pledgemaster. His job was to in troduce to us such things as the history of the fraternity, the active chapters today, and to familiarize us with the traditions of our own chapter." Some campus fraternities are known for being more harsh on their pledges than others. "Rides" are not common though they do occur. In general being a pledge takes such forms as always hav cigaretes and a light for an active, ready change, and so forth. s anticipation fills fraternity men tories, the proplem of re-districting j gene over each article, and re-apportionment in general All the locp-holes should be pick-run-off elections and the judicial ed out and remedied, he said. powers of the Elections Board.
