19-Point Policy Puts ; Crack-Down In Action
Many Firsts For ’61 Rush
Rush this year has many firsts for UM.
The fraternities through Inter Fraternity Council have conducted meetings in the men’s dormitories so that the non-Greeks could question them.
Panhellenic Council is carrying out a motion voted on last spring concerning religious affiliation. This year both sororities of Christian and Jewish tradition will hold rush for girls regardless of religious background. Previously, sororities have been divided into A and B groups according to religious tradition. Coeds were allowed to rush only one of these groups.
Sorority rush began with an Open House and Registration last Thursday and Friday. The Preferential Parties Oct. 1 will end rush. Bids will be issued Monday, Oct. 2 at :30 in Eaton Hall. About 300 bids are expected to be given out.
Fraternity rush began with the rush smoker in the Student Union Cafeteria last Sunday. The last parties will be held Thursday, Oct. 5. Fraternity bids will be issued in Beaumont Lecture , I Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct 7. I

Council Chairman Plans Streamlined Honor Code

"The honor code is going to be streamlined and made more effective," said Allan Rosenbaum, chairman of the Honor Council.
“Presently the code is not as realistic as it should be,” he leveled. “One of our goals will be to make students more aware that the code is applicable and that it will be used.”
The Honor Council, which enforces the honor code, will also undergo change in the near future, Rosenbaum said. It will be enlarged and set up on a revolving basis “to relieve some pressure from current members.”
The council consists of three undergraduate students, a fac-
ulty member, and an administration representative who are all appointed by Jay F. W. Pearson, president of UM. It deals with academic violations such as cheating and plagiarism under the student government constitution.
The council conducts hearings for violators of the code and determines guilt or innocence. It has the power to expel a student or place him on probation. Rosenbaum noted that “most students do not realize the strength of this council.”
Before the proposed changes * can be adopted, they must be approved by the Honor Council, Undergraduate Student Government, and Dean of Students Noble Hendrix. The changes proposed last year
were rejected because they “were poorly thought out,” according to Executive Vice President Dr. Robert Johns.
“The new proposals will be more organized and more workable than last year's,” said Rosenbaum.
In addition to Rosenbaum, members of the council are seniors Gregory Zell and Ber-nie Weiner, Professor John Stevens of the Engineering Department, and Assistant Dean of University College Frank Wills.
Administrative assistant to the council is Miss Mary Elizabeth Lawrence, a junior. She gathers evidence for Honor Council cases and presents it to the council to aid them in their decisions.
