in drown hall upon which th names of all new men living in fra ternity houses must be posted for five days before they may be bid and the men's names must be post ed by the fraternity within twenty four hours after he enters the house 4 — there shall be no rushing oi freshmen outside of fraternity houses after 8 p m until the close of the rushing season a petition will be sent to the arcadia to the effect that freshmen may not be allowed on the streets after 8 p m during the rushing season 5 — a copy of the rules adopted by the council will be placed in the freshman bible and any other de sirable publicity will be given them also an officer of the council will speak to the freshmen at the be ginming of the college year ex plaining the rules to them the above rules are not perman ent
