charles brennan dean of students and chairman of the rushing commission both said sunday that tbe residence halls council's rhc decision to disregard the rushing commission is a violation of university regulations and therefore cannot be permitted brennan said as long aa we have the rushing commission lt ls impossible for rhc to disregard it he added that the channels for change are established and must be used and that while change takes time the means for making change cannot be ignored parr agreed saying " no one is at liberty to disregard the university regulations because they find them displeasing parr went on to say that au groups engaged m ruahing are bound by the regulations and no party la free to disagree he pointed out that the present problem le prompted by the fact that rushing has traditionally been only a fraternity affair and now the residence halls have undertaken rushing too if they want to continue selection of members they must be bound by the same rules as the fraternities parr added the reel question ls if the residence halls want to take themselves out of the selection procedure and have students assigned to them in opposition to this view jim winchester 68 president of rhc said he was never under the impression the rushing commission rules had the effect of university regulations " i waa always under the impression the commission waa a gentleman's agreement and not binding f waa led to believe thia by jim tlefenbrunn rhc president ln 1963 when the rushing commission waa established and nothing has happened since to cause me to chai-ga this opinion he added he said " thia la a university and not a mudhole we can't juat alt back if lt means we must do something disastrous then we will do something disastrous winchester went on to say " if fm wrong i'm wrong rhc won't change ita position it la a matter of principle commenting on the administration view that rhc should use the channels act up to make changes winchester

by marty marasco several revisions m house party regulations including shorter hours for friday and saturday night parties were released last week by don kemp 69 arcadia houseparty chairman the new regulations . were decided upon last may at a meeting of preston parr dean of student life william quay assistant dean of student life and kemp the purpose of the new regula tions according to kemp is to insure that houseparty remains an event on the lehigh campus and not a time when living groups leave for a weekend m new york or the poconos if after the new regulations are put into effect and groups still request to leave campus for the weekend we will take lt as a sign that houseparty is no longer wanted at lehigh said kemp he added that the shorter hours are intended to take some of the drudgery out of the weekend " the weekend has been turning into a marathon to see who could survive tbe longest maybe the shorter hours will change this kemp said the new regulations change the time at which parties must end from 3 a.m to 2 a.m on friday and saturday nights the coffee hour will terminate at 2:30 instead of 4 a.m as m past years also under the new regula tions living groups will not be permitted to leave campus for the weekend another new addition to the regulations ls that bethlehem police will be authorized to enter open parties on saturday night so that townies can be identified and ejected kemp stressed that this will be the policemen's only purpose they will not attempt to enforce any violation of the state liquor laws also under the new regula tions the interfraternity council ifc must decide prior to each houseparty if they will house their dates m the fraternity or stay m the house themselves whatever the decision all the fraternities must do the same thing the residence halls office and residence halls council rhc will determine date housing as they see fit inde pendent of the ifc ifc has already decided to house fraternity dates ln the chapter houses for fall house party it must decide by dec 15 if lt will do likewise for spring houseparty in another change social chap erons will no longer be necessary for houseparty events since
