NEW CHINNING SYSTEM ADOPTED

Following a fraternity chinning season in which no agreement as to method could be reached and one group was operating on the basis of an open season and the other on the long season plan, harmony has finally been reached and the Interfraternity Council has adopted with practical unanimity a second semester chinning and pledging season for the coming academic year.

The principal points in the plan are that no pledges shall be binding before the evening of the second Saturday fallowing Carnival which will mean practically the end of February; nor shall there be any entertainment of first-year men for fraternity purposes, or any form of propaganda to that end, before the first Saturday following Carnival. This means that all fraternity activity, so far as obtaining a new delegation is concerned, will be confined to the second week following Carnival, which will generally be the third week in February. There is a further restriction, that the hours on which men may be approached on fraternity matters shall be limited to those between six and ten P.M. of the week in question, and that there shall be no entertainment of men with this end in view except in the town of Hanover. A revised interfraternity constitution, with strict provisions for the enforcement of agreements, accompanies this changed plan.
