The deferred rush program
implemented this year is working,
but according to Greek officials
and campus life administrators it
is still too early to tell what modifications will be made.
The idea of deferred rash was
to let new students become aware
of all of the different organizations on campus without the
frustration of rash. Another
objective was to bring the Greek
and non-Greek 01
together as a unified -

has held more campus-wide activities, but the activities are not

According to Gayle Littleton,
president of the Panhcllenic
Council, these activities are good
lor the incoming freshmen because
they are early enough in the evening so that those who want to do
other things will still have time.
While the sororities and frater-

barbecue which will

Its goal is to allow the sororities to present a united front
rather than the individual sororities.
While some freshmen and
transfers will naturally complain
about not being allowed to go to
fraternity parties, Intcrfraiernity
Council president Grant Davis
doesn't beiieve this is a problem.
"The ones I have talked to
haven't complained. They don't
know what it was like last year
and have nothing to compare it
with."
"The complaints have mainly
been from the fraternities because
this is a new program and like all
new programs, it takes getting
used to.

Additionally, Dr. Colwell wrote
numerous articles for magazines,
newspapers, and academic journals. He also wrote four books:
A Student's Guide to Literature,
of British Literature,

Janice Jones Mizelle, Stetson class
of 1964, remembers him as, "very
serious and knowledgeable of his
subject matter. He wanted his
students to leave the classroom
feeling as if they knew English
literature."
Dr. Colwell earned his bachelor's degree from the University
of Chicago at age 16. He later
nd The Complete Term received a second bachelor's degree and a master's degree from
Cambridge University in England
and his doctorate from Emory
University. He taught at Emory-
at-Oxford before coming to Stetson.

for Dr. Colwell will be held October 16 in Elizabeth Hall Chapel

trated with the ways of recruiting.
It's tougher than, they realized,
and the sooner they find a new
way of looking at things, the
easier it will be for them," said
Stubbs.
The Greek organizations have
activities planned for later in the
sesr.ester such as fraternity and
sorority open houses, as well as
social weekends.
We haven't really had a lot of
activities yet, but we have planned
a barbecue for all non-Greek
women to meet the different
sororities," commented Littleton.
But as for changes in the policies governing deferred rush, such
as no freshmen allowed in the
fraternity and sorority houses, it
is still too early in the year for
the Greeks to know what will
work and what won't.
"I think it's a good program,
but some things will need to be
changed. One good thing is keeping freshmen away from the pressure of rush right now," said Davis.
The faculty's response to the
deferred rush program has been
positive.
Citing more participation and
attendance in classes, as well as at
other campus activities, the faculty, in general, is pleased with the
changes.
"The purpose of deferred rush
is not to get rid of the Greeks,
but to give them a chance to use
their responsibility and combine
as Greeks to show a united Stetson campus," stated Stubbs.
