WOMAN'S PAN-HELLENIC TO ADOPT NEW RULES
Final Draft Has Been Approved By Student Interest Committee
TO ELIMINATE BID WAGON
NUMBER 105.
Members Will Not Accompany Rushee Outside Sorority House
A new set of rules, passed recently by the women's Pan-Hellenic council and by the Student Interests Committee, which will go before Pan-Hellenic next week for final approval, of a list of words to be used in all of which many words, friendships, and piedges were wasted during the annual "rush week."
The good old "hair-pullin'" "days" are ever. No more will female free-booters and pirate fights fight over the rainbow, because on their step Mount Orion each fall.
2. No bid-wagon will carry around the pledge invitations.
3. The rushing program will not exceed 3 teas and 3 dinners, the dinners to consist of not more than 3 courses each.
The new rules, now in final stages of ratification, are as follows:
4. No sorority member may accompany a rusher anywhere outside of the sorority house, nor be in her company anywhere except in the sorority house
1. No automobiles will be used in
rushing.
5 "Rush week" shall extend from Sunday, 3 p. m. before enrollment, to the Friday following, at 10 p. m.
6. Sorority members will not wear colors. Pledges will wear colors only until pledge pin may be secured.
These new rules are the result of general dissatisfaction with rushing conditions, from within the sororities, "Never again" was the cry after the first day in college. The sistersbored at once started to work in an attempt to better conditions.
The above rules were drawn up by a committee from Pan-Hellenic consisting of Lucile Cleveland, Norma Mfcadden, and Helen Thurston, working with the Student Interests committee of students and faculty. The rules were approved by Pan-Hellenic members against the Interess Committee. Before they become completely effective, they must be again approved by the Pan-Hellenic Council, but this is said to be a mere matter of form.
In explanation of the elimination of the "bid wagon" it was stated that Ian-Hellenic would hire a messenger, who would convey the invitations to him.
"Too much ostentation" is said to have been one of the complaints that brought about the change in rules, it is said. In the sororities, however, the members claim that the work of "rushing" under the old system was too much of a strain, physically, on both the rushers and the rushes, and that the climaxes were inside entertainment, motor cars, and mad dashes to and fro on the campus, is welcomed by every sorority woman.
NEED COTTAGE DECORATORS
Elizabeth Mequiar Speaks on "Interior Decoration"
At a meeting of the Architectural Society, held in Marvin Hall at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, Miss Elizabeth Mequier, of the department of home economics, spoke on "Internet of Homes" where matters were taken up by the members of the society, and tentative plans for Engineer's Day were formed.
All through her talk, Miss Meggiorn emphasized the need of professional interior decoration of the small home of today. She showed that only the larger and more expensive homes get the benefit of the professional decorator, and that the interior architecture of the smaller homes is often neglected. By more training in the schools, in such matters, it tends to remedy this to some extent. It is easier to note that steps in this same direction are being taken by the architects throughout the country. They are establishing a system by which it may be possible for the man of small means to secure the services of professional architects at a minimum of expense.

The miracles that Christ performed are not as much of an act as he gave the world. Christ appeals to the modern man as an example of what conscientized service can for the world."

MEN TO VOTE ON NEW AMENDMENT IN APRII
That Would Give Advisory Assembly Power to Initiate Legislation in Future
COUNCIL APPROVES MOVE
But With Reservations of Certain Inherent Privileges of Older Body

"The Council considered the resolution carefully," said Mr. Tracey, "and to carry out the request in spirit and in letter, vowed to submit this report and to present an investment form to the men voters at the spring election next month."
Although only ten Assemblymen were present, Tracey was quizzed at some length by the members as to what the phrase "power to initiate legislation" conveyed. "It means just this," replied Tracey. "that the Assembly would have power to measure in so far as it a student governing body had the power that the Assembly but It did not have the right to decide on matters that come up on his spur of the moment and need instant decision, like the Student Council has had this year and in years past."
Lack of attendance and the reason for it was discussed and as a result different opinions were aired, some going so far as to ask the Council to rescind the action taken, and submittate a report to the College of the Men's Student Council which would legislate the Advisory Assembly out of existence.
To show how the Assembly functions in some ways the case of the point system referred to in the body by the Student Council on November 15 last, is still in the hands of a committee and has not even been reported back to the Assembly for action even though the Morse Student Council are held waiting on of waiting on the lack of interest and lethargy shown in the student legislative body created last spring.
The next meeting of the Assembly will be held on Tuesday, March 15 at which time some interesting discussions are expected to come up regarding the future of the organization.

Allied Supreme Council is Now Determining Action to be Taken
ALLIES ARE FORCING GERMAN OBEDIENCE
FRENCH ARMY IS ON MOVE
Contemplate Occupation of Ruhi Valley and Railroads Put in Readiness
London, March 2nd—Preliminary force of French forces to compel Germany's obedience to Allied powers. Allied Supreme Council here today.
A further session was scheduled for this afternoon to determine the part each should play in exerting the pressure on Germany.
It was semi-officially admitted that French forces are on the move and that the Rhu Valley will be occupied by them if the council approves.
The order was the most important of a series issued by military and government authorities to prepare for war. The orders were delivered to Allied preparation demands.
Colonial troops again are arriving by way of Marseilles.
"Germany will attempt no armed resistance if the Allies enter," Herr Von Kaufman told the United Press today.
"if the Allies take military action now," he said "we will consider the Versailles trenancy broken and no French intervention will merely solidify the German people in opposition to the Paris decision on reparation. The worker will quit if the Allies continue their actions, we will see what the will get out of it."
Von Kauffman said he believed France would not attempt to go any farther than Berlin.
GERMANY MUST RECUPERATE
"I believe the capacity of Germany to pay an indemnity depends fundamentally and directly upon her realism the industrial capacity she had before the war." Prest, W. W. Hempel, *History of history said this morning.*
Professor Davis Says This is Funda mental for Payment
Professor Davis was engaged in war work in France and had charge of the class in Contemporary Diplomaclast classist, which took up an extensive study of the Verailles treaty.
"During the war the claim was made by the French and British premiers that the war must be paid for by Germany." Professor Davis said, "Not only did they claim that the damages inflicted on France and Belgium must be paid, but the entire cost of the war as well.
"Germany objected to the indemnity in the treaty because of its size and its indeterminate quantity. She said she had insufficient wealth. If the coal delivery clause alone of the treaty is enforced, this will close down German industries and operation of factories impossible.
"The problem that the Allies must settle if they desire an indemnity is. How far can they go in burdening the German industries with the taxes required to pay the indemnity? There is such a vast difference between what the Allies have estimated as the German's real capacity to pay and what she is able to say that the man who is not an expert is at great loss to know where the truth lies. There are many possible adjustments, but they all come back to the payment of goods. The most obvious adjustment would be the extending of time for the demanded sums. Whether this will be acceptable to France or England, I do not know."
