WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1949 IFC Changes Rush Hours For Oct. 30 Times Extended To Compensate Afternoons Lost Elimination oi" afternoon rush ing on Sunday, Oct. 30, the first day of Rush Week, highlighted a meeting" of the Inierf raternity council Monday night in Graham Memorial, IFC President Allison Pell said yesterday. .The change came as a result of "widespread dissatisfaction" with attempting . to rush . during the afternoon immediately after a big dance weekend. To compensate for the time lost by the move, the council extended the r hours when new men may visit fraternity houses by 30-minutes on. both Sunday and Monday, nights. The council according to one member, picked two nights, because it would not be necessary to hold lengthy fraternity meetings early in the week. Pell also announced that the group had moved up to Wednes day night the time when a new man. may be informed of his passage by a fraternity. However, Pell emphasized that no change had been made in the time of either shakeup or pledging. Also considered, as the council virtually completed plans for the I Lull quarter rusn season, was a proposal to eliminate intramural activity during the week. How ever, no decision was reached in A this matter.

A dy ing Gulf hurricane flailed its strength away to the northeast tonight after swatting this Texas metropolis and dealing a heavy blow to coastal crops. Farm losses ran into the millions. Its slap early today at this city of more than 500,000 was surpris ingly light. But the hurricane smashed hard at a bumper rice, cotton and vegetable crop. The storm's center, traveling about 15 miles an hour, had mov ed 120 miles northeast of here tonight to Lufkin. The Weather Bureau said it would continue its weakening ad vance the next 12 to 18 hours, throwing 40-mile-an-hour wind squalls a distance of 100 miles ahead of it. The Weather Bureau said heavy rains and locally strong winds preceding the storm would strike in extreme northeast Texas, ex treme northern Louisiana, south east Oklahoma, Arkansas, south ern Missouri, extreme southern Illinois, extreme western Ken tucky, western Tennessee and northwest Mississippi. day in the notebook. There will be listed the event, its time and its sponsor. "I hope that each group which sponsors entertainments will con tact us as soon as they have chosen their date," Rathburn said. "The sooner an entertainment is regis-J tered and represented on the cal ndar, the easier it will be to avoid scheduling any conflicting event at the same time." Rathburn added that football games, the first Playmaker pro duction and entertainments spon sored by the Student Entertain ment Committee have already been posted on the calendar. "If the scheme works properly and everyone co-operates," Rath burn concluded, "confusion caus ed by something such as two dances the same night should easily be avoided." NUMBER 12 ectioo All Parties To Nominate In Balloting Leaders State Parties' Stand On Mackie Idea By Roy Parker, Jr. A proposal by Student Body ' President Bill Mackie that the three campus political parties keep out of freshman elections got a "thumbs down" from two of the three party leaders con sulted by the President on the matter yesterday. With the rejection by the lead ers, of the Campus and Univer sity Parties, the plan is junked and all three parties will nominate candidates for freshman posts. The Student Party approved the plan, but with the reservation that if rejected by either of the others, it would take part in nominations. Mackie had based his proposal to have nominations in open con vention on the contention that the freshmen are "not familiar enough with the campus political parties because of their short time on campus," and that non-party par ticipation would "give the fresh men a chance to nominate with out the confusion of party labels." The President said that a non partisan election would also keep freshmen who wanted nomina tions from "jumping into a party" and later changing their minds. ' Both of the parties opposing the idea had practically the same objections. The University Party, through party Chairman Fletcher Harris, contended, "It is the job of political parties toy nominate, and that only through party nom inations can the best possible office-holding material be selected." Campus Party Chairman Vestal Taylor stated his party's stand, saying that, the CP "feels it would be robbing the freshmen of an opportunity toi get into campus politics at the beginning of their campus careers" if the election were made nonpartisan. H He described the present fresh man election law as "written in such a manner as to encourage in dependents by providing for nom ination in freshman assembly." The Student Party, in voting to support the proposal, cited essen tially the same reasons as the President. Although Legislature action could change the present fresh man election setup, Mackie de clined to use any such action. "In view of the decision by two of the parties, there will be no change in the method of conduct ing this election," he said.
