associate dean of stu dents said the plan may have an impact on rushing and pledging adding that houses may take larger pledge classes if some of the pledges can live in residence halls ifc rush chairman kevin hoover 82 of sigma nu commented favorably on the new forum resolution noting that fraternities can increase their size as many fraternities at other major univer sities exceed 70 members zeta psi rush chairman steve tacicca noted other advantages as it could benefit the house socially with more social money and better parties and get more freshmen involved in fraternities however keith kulesza 84 assistant rush chairman at kappa sigma dis agreed saying i think it's essential for the pledges to live in the house it is hard to run a pledge program when pledges live in dorms i can see its purpose but i don't think it will have a big effect on us members of alpha tau omega beta theta pi pi kappa alpha and alpha epsilon pi agreed but britt beaver 83 president of alpha phi said the new rules will defi nitely affect future rushing i think it's a good rule i just wish it would apply to juniors and seniors too she said michelle tomsho 83 president of delta gamma said most fraternities and sororities will go for the quality of the individual and not solely on the number of spaces they have available it's up to the individual house she added tomsho also mentioned that the new rules will take a burden off the houses if they want to expand their mem berships it will allow them to take more girls and allow some leeway when or if they are looking for new see

from what you've seen were your college years similar in a lot of respects to what we have at lehigh '.' likins well in the first place i sup pose there is the recurring theme of whether or not the early 80s and the 50s are sociologically similar people some times suggest that there are those sim ilarities that's a proposition that i'm sure you've heard before that we are now in the 80s going into an era in which we're reliving the 50s i don't much buy that there are similarities i suppose but i think there are very fundamental differences to my way of thinking the see likins page 4

physically abused by the two men her attackers were scared oil by head lights of a passing car the description given by the victim of her assailants was relatively poor possibly due to the poor

no lights on the upper hill then and the difference between then and now is like night and day she said since 1976 whitcomb has participated in the walk-through once or twice a year she described this as a nighttime walking tour pi the entire campus including academic areas residence halls and sayrc park the walk's pur pose is to identify areas in need of better lighting when the list is compiled

dark places on campus she said and there is definitely room for improvement in the lighting situation she also said she is more afraid to walk back from the library late at night than to walk back from a fraternity because when you're walking back from a fra ternity late at night on a weekend at least there are other people walking in the same direction during the week see dark page s
