to an alphabetized calendar to be
drawn up in connection with reg- istration. Rushees are to stay only
fifty minutes at each house and are
not to return to any house after
their first visit during the period
of the smokers.
Rushees will place answers to
party bids in boxes which each fraternity will provide. They must
either accept, regret, or decline
regret means that the rushee is
unable to attend a particular party.
Decline means that one is really
more interested in other fraternities.
Silence must be observed from
midnight of the day before
men are to arrive on campus through
the afternoon of bid day, after the
assembly at which official pledging
notices are given. This means that
fraternity men cannot communicate
in any manner with rushees, except
at official parties as prescribed in
the program, other than to recognize them.
No fraternity will be allowed to
spend over $100 on rush parties. A
complete accounting of the money
spent will be submitted to the Violations Commute which will consist
of the Dean of Men, an impartial
member of the faculty, and the
president of the IFC. The chairman
of the Rush Committe will act as
advisor to the Violations Committee.
Violation of any portion of the
rushing program or the rushing
rules by a fraternity will be subject
to penalties as provided in the
IFC charter. Violations of any of
the rushing rules by a rushee will
cause him to lose his privilege of
being rushed or being pledged, as
determined by the Violations Com- mittee.

December, but. at his request, the
Board allowed him publicly to resign "until his name had been

The Board said the major basis
for Sunday's ruling was Dean A. D.
Kirwan's report on both the New
York grand jury minutes and confidential evidence from the district
attorney's office. Dean Kirwan said
the district attorney obtained special permission for him to 'se the
minutes of the court.
"The judge told me I could look
at the minutes." Kirwan said, "but
he said I couldn't take notes. He
said I could, relate the tenor of the
minutes to President Donovan and
the Athletic Board.
"He also said he'd rather I
wouldn't, but if it were necessary,
I could tell the press."

Formal Rush Adopted
By IFC For Next Fall
A completely new rush system was
adopted by the Interfraternity Coun- cil Tuesday night, and a rule was
passed that, starting with men
pledged next fall, a 1.2 academic
standing will be required for in- itiation.
The new rushing system, designed
to give fraternities an equal opportunity to pledge men and cut down
the expenses of rush, provides for a
rush period of six days. During that
time there will be a series of invitational parties given by each fra- ternity. All parties must be held at
the fraternity house.
Fraternities will be divided into
three groups for the purpose of
these parties. Each group
will give four parties of fifty min- utes each on two of the six nights.
A rushee will attend no more than
one of these at each house on any
one night.
Smokers After Rush Period
In addition to the invitational
parties, there will be smokers during registration and preference night
parties after the six day rush period.
These will be conducted in the same
manner as the invitational parties.
The day before registration, all
men who are interested in pledging
a fraternity will report at 4:00 in
the Ball Room of the SUB to sign
the rush list and receive instructions
concerning the program of the coming rush period. A $2.00 rush lee
will be paid at this time and upon
payment of this fee, the rushee will
receive his name tag which will be
worn at all times on the campus
during rush.
Informal smokers will be held
during the three days of registration.
U rushees are automatically invited
and obligated to attend a smoker

Only Possible Action Was Taken
By Board In Spivey Situation
The University Athletics Hoard has taken the
only action possible in the Spivey situation: They
have permanently suspended the athletic eligibility of the former UK star.
Although the suspension may seem drastic at first
glance, we believe that the Board was justified in
taking the action even if Spivey is not further implicated in the scandal. Actually his conduct
throughout the investigation, and his insistance upon an immediate decision, left the Board no alternative.
A comparison of Spivers recent admission of
season with the
bribe offers during the 19")0-5statement he signed last November stating, "I have
never been approached for this purpose (point fixing, bribery, or the fixing of games)," is clear evidence that he was not playing fair with the Administration.
Perhaps Spivey can. in some measure, be defended for not reporting his teammates for accepting bribes, but we can see no grounds upon which
1

to justify the contradictory statements he has made
to the University, the press, and the New York authorities.
Personally, we feel that the University would
have been wise to have gone ahead with their
original plan to temporarily suspend Spivey in December when they first received information "tending to show" that he was involved in the scandal.
However, we realize that it would have been difficult for them not to have given Spivey the opportunity to protect himself as much as possible in the
event that he should le able to completely clear
his name.
That chance was given. For some reason Spivey,
forgetting that his own request had called for his
only when his name was cleared,
was not content and began to press the Board for
a decision on his status. Obviously, his name is not
yet clear, even though it may eventually be so. For
this reason we see the Board's action as nothing
more than a compliance with Spivey's request.

Guignol Cast Is Commended
For Outstanding Opening Night
The musical strains andMhe graceful movements
of the Minuet set the scene for the Guignol's latest
triumph.
"Tartuffe," a 17th century French comedy by
Jean Poquelin Moliere, legan a promising week's
run in the Guignol Theater last Monday with an
outstanding opening night.
Under the direction of Wallace Briggs, the two-aplay is a satire on religious hypocrisy. The title
eminates from the main dvaracter, Tartuffe, who is
without a doubt a religious hypocrite. By the use
of religious and pious speeches, he is able to gain
entrance to the home of Orgon, a man who elevates the "noble and pious man" from the role of a
beggar to a place almost above that of his own son.
Believing that Tartuffe is incapable of any wrongdoing, Orgon manages to have the wool pulled over
his eyes long enough to promise his daughter in
marriage to the imposter, banish his only son from
his home, and accuse his own wife of lying. Only
after much persuading and almost positive proof,
is Orgon convinced that "this man of God" is really
an imposter.

The role of Tartuffe was skillfully played by Wallace Buioe, who seemed to master the art of impersonation without a break. His innocent expressions and pious speeches were typical of the "villain" role he played.
Playing the role of Orgon, the deceived, Gene
Arkle mastered a role quite different from the one
he had in "The Glass Menagerie." His performance
was perhaps the best in the play.
The voice qualities and ability to produce the
affected mannerisms of the foppish young gentlemen of the 17th century made Don Clayton's portrayal of Cleante a bit more than a supporting role.
The other male actors could well have taken lessons
from Don in the art of being "stylish fops."
ct

Jo Ann Anderson quickly stole the attention and
hearts of the audience with her interpretation of
the maid Dorine. This was a part that could easily
have appeared to be overdone. However, this was
only the young actress playing to the fullest the part
of an outspoken, precocious servant.
Flipotte, a maid, played by Anne Hall, was a
high point of hilarity. Although on the stage for
only three minutes, she manages to steal many
laughs in the first act by merely wiping her nose
on her sleeve.
Another bit player, Robert DeBenedictus, is also
amusing, even though on the stage for a short time.
Playing the role of Mr. Royal, a public officer, his
flowing robes and hair along with his amazing mannerisms added to the final laughs of the play.
Guignol veteran Jane Ratchford manages to talk
very much and say very little which is exactly what
she is supposed to do in her role of Mme. Pernelle.
The young lovers, without which no play seems
to be complete, were charmingly played by Evalyn
Dummit and Dave Bere as Mariane and Valere, respectively. Evalyn's best scene was the crying scene
in which she managed to look very pretty and cry
at the same time. Dave could possibly have relaxed a bit more and taken out some of the stilted-nes- s
and amateurishness in his lines.
Harry Carter as Damis, the son, and Bill Winter-solas the Officer, both turned out good performances even though this was their first Guignol production. Although Harry had a much larger part,
his performance was no more impressive than Bill's.
Although her stage presence was good, Betty
Dean Stull, as Elmire, failed to give an outstanding
performance. She was cast as the very attractive
wife of Orgon, and played the part, but no more.
