Chinning Rules Again Considered

Despite the fact that the helter skelter chinning methods which were in operation last fall resulted in full fraternity delegations, the undergraduate body is not satisfied with them. The thankless task of finding a system that shall please everybody has now devolved upon Palaeopitus, and that body is manfully struggling with the problem. It seems to be pretty generally conceded that the theoretical ideal would be achieved should no freshmen receive fraternity invitations earlier than the second semester of their first year in college . The ideal could be achieved were the fraternities less suspicious of one another and less fearful that delay might, in some instances, prove disadvantageous to the recently founded organizations. It seems unlikely that any agreement for delayed chinning can be made and fully lived up to. The only alternative is an early scramble such as that of this year. Signs indicate the scramble.
