President Nixon's new "Draft Lottery" system is questioned and debated. President Rubendall makes a decision on fraternity housing. A fraternity must gather a total of 44 people to retain the privilege of assigning living spaces on the third floor of its residence hall. Not reaching that number means it will become an independent residence unit with its own lounge and social code. If a fraternity gathers fewer than 25 students, it looses the privilege of assigning living spaces in the hall and though they will be assured space, they may not necessarily have their choice of rooms.
