Above are shown some "brothe fraternity" row. (Photo courtesy c Rush Seas during the past few weeks. Five fraternities on campus have mutually agreed to set up and abide by certain rush rules during the season. These fra ternities are Sigma Alpha Ep silon, Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, and Chi Psi. Open drop-ins have been held BOOK REVIEW The Pro a A book dealing in sharp emo tion, modern morals, and 20th Century intellectualism. is Storm Jameson's latest work, "A Cup of Tea For Mr. Thorgill" (11ar per, 1957). The novel, a Book of-the-Month Club selection for December, describes the intel lectual morass which seems to surround most modern universi ties and which is compounded by egocentric non-conformity and pseudo-intellectualism. The particular college involved is England's esteemed Oxford University, and the particular problem is Communism and its advances among avant-guarde circles of students and ficulty members. REBELLION The particular character in volved is Nevil Ridgen, a His tory professor who fills his spare hours by writing propaganda leaflets for the Communist cause. After 13 years of such activity, Ridgen rebels when he Is asked to take an active part in the sacrifice of a young girl student to the party welfare. He realizes suddenly the rank injus tice of this Communist technique of "manuring the ground for the next year," and he bolts the party. Turning himself over to the Oxford Headmaster, Ridgen con fesses his aetivities and, after an attempt on his life apparently planned by his wife, Informs on several for-mer Communist co workers, Including his wife and brother-in-law. NO TRUSTED Unfortunately, Ridgen finds :hat while being an avowed nember of the Communist party s not considered a sin, secret articipation In the Red behalf s a deadly one and that a turn oat is trusted by neither side. Iis informing consequently .Is a meaningless gesture. He finds oo that the Headmaster is so mtangled In hih own self isteem that he fails to act on Utdgen's story because of the scandle it might cause, and the nembers of the Oxford intelli rencia are so Interested in romoting their own non-con ormist ideals and charmed with heir own wit that they refuse o believe that Communism and he Communist Party represent nty danger greater than that of rival debating team or a Hyde ES?

Organized rush began for these frats on Sunday, Feb. 2. Bids will be given out on Wednesday, Feb. 12.

Ridgen, therefore, loses his job and is dismissed from Oxford in disgrace. GAINS RUGGED SPIRIT However, in the denoument, which is just a trifle too pat, Ridgen finds that he has friends wise enough to pierce the intel-a lectual haze, makes his informao tion useful by offering it tcl the British Government Service, and finds another respectable,. albeit poorer, te;tching position. Finally, with severely gained in sight, Ridgen discovers the rugged spirit and courage of the common people and finds that commonplace minds and hearts have an honest beauty which far outshines the gleam ing sophis3ication of the hyper critical non-conformists. "A Cup Of Tea For Mr. Thor gill" is not an entertaining book, but its weaknesses are ones of style rather than of content. Miss Jameson brings the readcr pain by requiring him to plod through 50 pages of introductory material before al lowing him to walk on firmer ground. She introduces all of the story's charactets, for ex ample, at the outset of the book by gathering them en masse a# a long, confusing, and incredibly dull dinner party. Again in the4 final pages, the book deterio rates into a set of sentimental maxims of the "There'll Alway4 Be An England" variety. CREDITABLE All in all, the book is credi table. Miss Jameson's writing is mature, sober, and emotion ally hard-hitting; it combines keen observation with a good plot and a stimulating investi gation of our present political awareness. For students of politics and for future FBI agents, the book should be re quired reading. However, it is just a shade too "terribly Bri tish" for me. --Bob Grosse "One of the season's hap piest and most entertaining events."--Zunser, CUE RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH ,IAN CARMICHAEt Jit ADAM$ TERRY THOMAS, PO THERS Pep Club A FT1 Cub Is coedy wmn fto the C King and ,Kathern Duei nounced Bob ,enn, P6p COub Mantovani Visits Here Tomorrow - The New Music of Mantovani will be featured at a concert tomorrow evening presented by the Columbia Mdsic Festival As sociation.
