LE TTER FROM THE PR YTANJS

The Spring quarter began with the house

iriifiatidn brings to 17 the numberot new

active,s initiated this- year. Rushing has
been complicated by the quarter system,:
most-of the rushees preferring to wait
until the Fall to take a pin. However, it
appears we will have a good start on our
Fall pledge class, thanks to a good in­
formal rush.
A convivial party in San Francisco fol­
lowing the Initiation Banquet sta rted off
the social calendar for the Spring. A
canoe trip on the Russian River, an over­
night in Carmel, and a wine-tasting tour
of the Sonoma were also on the agenda.
A large part of the house has been in­
volved in the preparations for the presi­ I
- I
dential primary. Nearly everyone has
been doing some kind of work for McCar"'­
thy ()r Kennedy and the 'arguments go on
endlessly.
With all this activity the house grade
point has remained high. : Inth-e, Fall the
house was ranked fifth with a 2.78 average. President Emeritus and Mrs. Sproul
!'

The Winter quarter saw an improvement

t02. 93, and this should put the house into
the top three.
Due to the fact that certain major re­
pairs have been necessary this past year
(a new boiler and wa.ter 'heater) and'"otliers­
will b� needed in the-near future, I would
like to urge all those alumni who have
( financial obligations to the fraternity re­
