At a meeting of Interfraternity Council this week the members voted not to have an interfraternity dance and decided to call a meeting of the various fraternity presidents to dis cuss an interfraternity clubroom and meeting place. This may be done because of the University's recent decision to no longer allow fraternities to rent rooms on the campus after the cur rent semester, due to the extensive dormitory space required for the school war training program, Dan Ellis, council president said. The decision to initiate men on their mid-semestLr grades was pre sented with the following provisions: 1. That requests to initiate men be submitted in triplicate, one copy for registrar's office, one for director of student activities, and one copy for Interfraternity Council. 2. That an average grade of "C" be maintained on not fewer than 12 semester hours work. 3. That the responsibility of obtain ing the grades with the professors' signatures be that of the fraternities. 4. That this plan be granted only for the duration. The group also decided that all pe titions pertaining to initiation must now be submitted to Interfraternity Council before being brought before the Committee on Social Affairs. At the meeting of the University Board of Trustees banning fraternity houses from the campus, permission was given fraternities to rent chapter rooms, but not to maintain living quarters off the campus. Sororities and women's dormitories will not be affected by this ruling. "Out Of TI First Performance Set For March 31 "Out of the Frying Pan", first Uni versity Players show in 1943, will be presented next Tuesday and Wednes (lay, March 31 and April 1, in Dray ton Hall at 8 :30 p. m.

The play was written by Francis Swanni andl is now directed by M. G. Christophersen of the University English dlepartmlent. A Broadway hit of recent years, it wvas good enough that Paramount bought the movie rights and released it recently undler the title "Young andl Willing." The hilarious p)lot concerns the madcap adventures of six young ac tors and actresses in New York. Down on their luck, the six share an apartment where they can be near a Broadway producer. As Norman, the official explainer, puts it, "WVe have bandedl together for financial reason :. Period !'"

Plans are now under way for a rejuvenation of an old-time May hol iday, which is to be set aside for "campus spring house-cleaning," it was announced this week by Charlie Knowlton, chairman oi the student faculty relations committee, under whose spoo.orsL yp the plans are be made. This was, some years ago, an an nual holiday, upon which a!! students and facnlty blossomed out in overalls and smiles to spruce up the old cam pus-dormitories, tenements, class room buildings, and the grounds. This same sort of program is being planned for this spring, according to Sarah Flinn, chairman of the plan ning committee. President J. R. 'McKissick has agreed to set a-ide the day chosen by the committee for the function as a holiday-and he said, "It will not mean that spring holidays must be shortened, but will be an extra holi day." The committee has set Thurs day, May 6 as a tentative date for the big afTai-. Besides the clean-np job the com mittee has also planned free lunch. to be given picnic style on the main campus, after the morning work is completed. In the afternoon, games and contests are scheduled. and the committee is hoping, Miss Flinn said, that when the May queen is elected, she will schedule ier coronation and dance for that night. The final (late for the holiday will not be set, un til after her election is over, so that this can be arranged, she said.

These officers will take over their duties immediately, and will be for mally installed next Wednesday by Miss Fern Babcock, national YM board member who will be visiting the campus at that time. The new roster of officers met yesterday to be gin choosing their cabinet.

Recommendations for new cabinet members were made by the retiring cabinet. These officers were nominated by the senior members of the retiring cabinet, at a meeting last week.

Except for the office of student body president, the campus was gen erally lackadaisical in regard to the elections looming up for the second week in April, or so it would seem, judging from the dearth of nonina tions as most student-body and class officers still go begging for candi dates, Dan Ellis, student-body pres ident, announced yesterday. The only two candidates who have thrown their hats in the ring for the race for the election of student-body president, this week, were Bob Mc Nair, a junior from Jamestown, and Bill Jones, a junior from Hodges. As nominations are closed tomorrow at noon, it is probable that these two boys will be the only candidates, said Ellis. Other Student-body Nominees Other nominations for student-body officers are: for first vice-president, Ton Pitts; for second vice-president, Annie Hudson and Frances Padgett; for secretary-treasurer, Jane Brooks Mar,hall. Unless others are nomi nated by tomorrow noon, Pitts and Marshall will be unopposed. As vet, there are no candidates running for positions on any of the tiree student-body boards; the Social i Cabinet, the Student Union Board, or :lie Athletic Advisory Board. Nor is there any candidates for the posi Ition of head-cheerleader. Qualifications For Boards The Student Union Board is com -f on member frn the rising c!a :.
