new REGULATIONS
AT DORMITORY
DEAN OF WOMEN HAS PROVIDED
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS FOR
COMING YEAR.
Chatting Dish Parties VIII Be Turned
Into Electric Stove
SOirees.

The home economics department o.
the university is moving into new
quarters in the north wing of the adj
ministration building and it's old room
in Ridenbaugh hall is being remodeled
into a modern banquet and reception
hall. A. number of the electric stoves
that were used last year by this de-
partment will be retained in the ole
room and be used hereafter as a sub
stitute for the popular chatting dishes
so prominent in coed social gather
ings at the hail.
Exit the Chatting Dish.
The chatting dish, so far as practical
use is concerned, may as well be left
at home At least such is the rumoI
that prevails at present on the campus
1t has been learned that Miss Permeal
French, dean of women at the univer-
sity, is planning to put the lid on
tight" this year and enforce much
more stringent regulations on fuss
ing" and student society events.
Hereafter when chatting dish par
ty" is announced at Ridenbaugh hall
it is to be understood that the chatting
dish will not be a feature of the eve
ning's entertainment. The chocolate
will be prepared on a tiny, well-scour-
ed electric stove and likewise will the
candy be cooked. But that is not all.
Instead of the guests being met in the
cozy parlor on the second floor they
will be received at the door of huge
room downstairs where heretofore
in bread making, and
house decoration have been given to
classes of so to rs members. And fur
ther still, a monopoly OF this room
will not be granted to any one set OF
guests and entertainers. The privacy
Of the old Dorm Library" is gone
and it is possible that as many as half
4 dozen parties may find themselves
ntruding upon each others pleasures
IN the same evening.
All to Share Alike.
But the new system, thinks the
lean, will be a step toward more
democratic spirit among
he students. The new hall will be
lsed for all sorts of social gatherings
where students in the varsity will be
Welcome and will feel free to come and
nix with his fellows. The hall Will
AVE a new hardwood flood so that
Iances also can be held there occas-
onally.
No Special Privileges.
In the line Of the restrictions that
re likely to be rigidly enforced this
ear the one governing rushing" by
he sororities at the opening of the
ear will undoubtedly prove quite un-
opular on it's first trial. 1t Is under
TODD that Dean French is determined
D "fll the Dorm at whatever cost |
D the sororities. To fill the Dorm |
6 girls will be needed Heretofore the |
orority houses have been crowded |
,r room while the Dormitory has had |
} bend it's every energy to make nm
ncial ends meet with it's little hand
IL of girls. But this year the tables
ill turn and when the "Dormers"
ave dwindled to SO the door will be
osed and sorority pledging will
ease. This rule will add excitement
, the first few days of rushing" 1t
i'll mean "first there, first served"
No More "Fussfng."
The open season for "fussing" also
likely to be greatly restricted.
here heretofore there has been
,arcely one night in the week on
hich the co-eds could not receive
,mpany the open nights this gear
i'll probably be reduced to two each
eek. This ruling is thought to be
operative as a means of raising
standards
