THE TOWN GIRLS AsFOciation New York, Here We Travel Agency Explains Notre Dame Trip Plans In an effort to clear up some of the confusion that has developed concerning transportation and housing arrangements for. the Notre Dame weekend, Bob Wat son, manager of the Graham Me morial Travel Agency, yesterday outlined the three existing plans that have been developed by the Agency and the University Club. Th club plans, as announced by President Jack Holcombe, include both train and bus transportation to and from New York. The train reservations, which are being made with the Southern Railway, will cost $21.74. The previously announced price of $18.69 had to be increased because the Penn sylvania Railroad, over which part of the trip will be made, does not allow excursion rates on its line. Plans to charter special buses will also be made by the dub. The total fee for this will be $14.15 and the buses will take students di rectly to their hotels and return for them there for the return trip to Chapel Hill In addition to these transporta Pell Clarifies Silence Before Rushing Period Allison Pell, " president of the Interf raternity Council, yesterday clarified the rushing rule concerning the "silence period" for both new men and fraternity men. This rule states that between Sept. 22 and October 30 a modified silence period shall This rule states that between Sept. 22 and Oct. 30 a modified silence period shall be in effect. Modified silence is defined as a period during which the "new men" and the fraternity men shall not be allowed to engage each other in social conversation. Formal greetings may be given, but that is all, Pell said. "Social conversation," was de fined by Pell as any conversation whatsoever. In other words, fraternity men cannot talk to "new men" other than to greet them. This is a very important rule, he said and any violations should be reported to the IFC. Another factor that new men should keep in mind, according to Pell, is that the rushing rules govern not only present frater nity members, but also fraternity alumni or any agents of a fraternity. ' Pell urged all new men to learn this rule so that they will understand why fraternity mem bers are unable to carry on conversations with them. Co operation in enforcing the rule will aid all parties involved. will meet tonight at 7 o'clock in the Town Girls' room in the Y.
