Acting as policeman for rushing is only one of the important new duties of the Pan– Hellenic Council. Today the council doesn't have to watch out for "leadpiping" of green freshmen or cutthroa f. rushing during the first week of college. The new duties now extend over the entire ear until all the freslunen are safely pledged to the fraternity of their choice. Duties of the Pan-Hellenic Council consist of watching that freshmen keep walking when offered a ride by a fraternity man, making sure that all fraternity men are off the hill by ten o'clock,and being sure that no Greek-letter man buys a theater ticket for a green– lidder. Bids are given out by the Council men after rushing is over in the early part of April. It is then and only then that the watchmen can relax and again resume a normal col– lege life. This year the Pan-Hellenic Council has done a fine job under the guidance of President Charles Place. The rules have been strictly enforced, and it has helped to make deferred rushing successful. This is another part of the plan which has at last been realized and marks another step forward on the road of progressive education. 145
