Skip Williams, rush week activities chairman, explained the new rules for the 1947 rush week. After a discussion of possible loopholes, the council voted to adopt the following general plan.
Train Date To Be Sept. 7
Train Date
The train date next year will be Sunday. The night date. No rushee will be allowed in the houses until midnight Sept. 7. Registration of rushees will be in the Military Science building Monday morning. Only one man can own each fraternity will be allowed in the building during registration. The prospective pledges will be picked up at the entrance of the building by the fraternities having first dates. During rush week the fraternites will be held individually responsible in seeing that men meet test dates and convocation schedules.
Rush week will end at noon Wednesday and a list of all men pledged will be turned in to the dean of men. If a man pledges more than one fraternity he will meet with the dean of men and make his choice.
Council Elects Officers
The following officers were elected on the executive council: Bob Preck, Tau Kappa Epsilon; Bill Holford, Lambda Chi Alba; George Pohl, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; and Billy Wintermute, Delta Upsilon. Phil Bill, Phi Kappa Fsi, was unanimously chosen A.S.C. representative.
Dick Hawkinson, Phi Delta Theta, president of the council, announced that the next meeting will be September 7. A special letter of instruction for rush week will be mailed to the fraternities in August.
Senior Dues Deadline Postponed 'Til Thursday
Deadline for senior dues has been delayed until Thursday, Ray Evans, senior class president, said today.
Veterans do not have to pay the diploma or cap and gown fee because the Veteran's administration will do that automatically. Veterans do have to pay dues for senior breakfast and class gift.
Alumni association dues of $2 are optional.
Campbell Is New PSGL President
Robert Campbell, College sophomore, was elected president of the P.S.G.L. party, Tuesday. Austin Turney, sophomore was elected vice-president.
Calvin Cooley, secretary, and Jack Pringle, treasurer, will hold their offices until after the freshman election next fall. They were elected at mid-year.
Changing the name of the party "from P.S.G.L to something like the Independent party," was suggested by Cooley. Such a name is now possible because the party is composed entirely of Independent students, Turney added.
Beta Theta Pi fraternity left the party just before the spring election. It was the last of the Greek organizations to be affiliated with P.S.G.L.
"P.S.G.L. was originally started by a group of fraternities. However, the fraternities gradually left the party to Independent management," Turney said.
Turtley said, "While we still had Greek members we couldn't take on a name that denoted complete Independent membership. Since the Beta's left we are able to do so."
Party members will not be assessed for any election expenditures George Caldwell, retiring president said.
Labor, Management Against Closed Shop; Disagree On Settlement Wages,Hours
The management of men is the most difficult and basic problem in industry. A businessman and a labor leader agreed on this point in a discussion before the Society for the Advancement of Management Tuesday
William R. Cook, assistant supervisor for the Union Wire and Rope corporation, and James Doran, past president of a local CIO steel union in Kansas City, Mo., gave students their views on industrial questions.
But time seems to Management spends too much Time selling us products to buyers," Mr. Cook said. "It should spend more time trying to sell its employees on the company."
"Labors attitude reflects management's attitude." Mr. Doran said, "If the boss is nasty so is labor."
They disagreed on the basis for wage hour disputes. Mr. Doran said labor wanted not just a living wage, but a wage it could make savings out for future security. Mr. Cook said it should not be determined by the companies' "ability to pay." Union Man Against Closed Shop
They both agreed that the closed shop was a poor policy.
Mr. Doran said, "As a union man I can't justify a closed shop. It refracts an individual's freedom. A union should sell itself to the worker, not force him to join. A maintenance of union membership shop, where the worker has the choice of joining or not joining, can be as effective as the closed shop."
Mr. Cook said, "Never get a lawyer to represent you in labor relations. Get to know your workers and their needs and treat them as you would want to be treated." Group Will Take Field Trip
The student organization has planned a field trip through two Lawrence factories for May 29 to study management problems.
Four students were appointed committee chairmen. They are Wilbord Wright, program; Leo Tolle, membership; James Cawford, arrangements; and Byron DeHaan, publicity.

No "spiking" (asking rushes to tledge) may be done until Sept. 8. Miss Peterson said. Promises to tledge made at summer rush parties will not be binding either on the part of the rushes or the sorority.
Each sorority will again be limited to two big parties in one town this summer. A "big" party is a party involving one meal, not lasting over eight hours, and being attended by more than 14 persons

Work on the project has been slowed by a mass of rock about 15 feet from the surface. Most of it has had to be removed by jack-hammer and pickax.
When finished the area will be 24 feet deep along the eastern boundary and about 14 feet deep along the west end.
Farm Boy, 16, Kills For Thrill
Lapeer, Mich. — (UP) — Oliver Terpingen, Jr., 16-year-old farm boy who confessed he murdered four playmates for a thrill, said today he was dissappointed with the experiment.
The slender, narrow-faced youth faced life imprisonment if convicted on the first degree murder charge filed by Circuit Judge George W. Des Jardins. Michigan does not have the death penalty.
Terpening calmly admitted to officers at state police headquarters in East Lansing that he deliberately shot and killed four neighbor children of one family late Monday as they picked wildflowers in the woods near his farm home. The victims were Barbara Smith, 16; Stanley, 14; Gliadys, 12; and Janet, 2. Young Barbara was considered his "girl friend."
