Princeton Fights Club Snubs

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Princeton is on its way back to 100 percent membership for juniors and seniors in clubs. The college's president, dean, newspaper, undergraduate council, and interclub committee have gone on record in favor of the move.

The undergraduate council will discuss tonight how to attain this goal.

Before the war Princeton had three consecutive years of "100 percent bicker" (bicker is the Princeton term for rushing). In last year's bicker, clubs accepted between 80 and 85 per cent of the junior and senior classes. Freshmen and sophomores are ineligible.

The pre-war setup preserved the clubs' right to choose their membership but a special committee allocated all the left-overs among them.

Princeton's clubs are completely independent of the college except for the Gentlemen's Agreement, similar to Harvard's parietal rules.
