Settling one of the most con troversial features of the recent campus elections, Dean of Men Roland Parker yesterday sent to the Daily Tar Heel a statement clearing H. C. Cranf ord com pletely of charges that endorse ments he used were not genuine. Cranford, editor-elect of the Carolina Magazine, employed letters of endorsement from Al Capp, Sherman Billingsley, and Al Jolson during his campaign. Admitting that "certain con tradictions in the letters and telegrams cannot be explained," Parker stated that "this office be lieves Mr. Cranf ord's endorse ments were authentic." Conducting the investigation, Fraternities T Regulations Listed For Five-Day Period Fraternities will launch a five day rushing period for freshmen of the War College Monday at noon, ending Friday night at 10 o'clock, it was announced yes terday by H. D. Webb, president of the Interfraternity council. When the noon bell rings Mon day, freshmen will be subject to rushing regulations. They may be rushed both at fraternity j houses, dormitories and the cam-pus-at-large, but must be away from fraternity premises by 10 o'clock each night. No freshmen may either be pledged or "shaken-up" until Tuesday night at 7 o'clock, at which time competition for the War College men "will be keen" in view of the increasing evacua tion of men on the campus. Beginning at 10 o'clock Priday night, f rosh will observe a period of silence, during which they are not to speak to any fraternity man. Fraternity men and fresh men will not be on speaking terms until 2 p. m. Sunday, at which time aspirants may obtain bids from Dean Roland Parker's of fice on the second floor of South building. Fraternities wishing a list of the War College students may ob tain one from Lanier Branson at the Delta Psi house this after- noon. President of the Interfrater nity council Webb urged observ ance of the rushing rules and ad vised both fraternities and War College men not to engage in "any foul play."

F - HS. F-8147 NUMBER 122 Majority Backs Council Plans Partial results of Wednesday night's fraternity consideration of the new contract for full utili zation of fraternity living quar ters showed more than one-half the houses contacted by the Daily Tar Heel lined up behind their council in acceptance of the new agreement. The Interfraternity council counterproposal, which eliminat ed the objectionable clauses of the earlier University-sponsored plan, has already been passed by 10 of the fraternities with the majority of the others still not having taken action. Only three of the organizations reported that they could not see their way clear to follow the council plan, this because of legal difficulties that effectively pre vented such a policy. The remainder of the fraterni ties, five, had not yet brought the proposal to a vote and so could not release any definite state ment on their stand, although it was expected that they would follow the council's lead. Accepting , the contract were Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi and Tau Epsilon Phi. In the case of the Phi Delts and the Betas the policy was provi sional, the latter group having to consult their national. Chi Phi, which has rented its house to the CPT for three months, could not embark on the plan now, but their leaders stated that they would consider the agreement when their present contract has expired. The other two houses which re turned a negative answer did so because the house is not in their hands. Phi Alpha's home is pri vately owned and ZBT has placed its quarters . in the hands of alumni. Final decisions were still to come in from Chi Psi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Sigma, Pi Lambda Alpha, and Zeta Psi.
