Baylor lifts century-old
ban on dancing
WACO, Texas (AP) — There may
be dancing in the streets on the Bay
lor University campus this spring
when the Southern Baptist institu
tion lifts a ban that dates back more
than a century.
Baylor President Robert Sloan
announced Friday that the nation's
largest Baptist university, with
12,000 students, will allow dancing
on campus.
"We have aerobic dancing in
Baptist churches and dance rou
tines at athletic events," he said
Friday. "Dancing can be a very
wholesome activity."
Texas A&M’s fraternities
ended Spring Fraternity Rush
Friday by extending 205 bids to
prospective pledges.
Fraternity members turned in
their bids by Thursday at noon,
and rushees received the news
Friday afternoon at Bid Day.
Bid Day is an annual event
held at the Systems Administra
tion Building.
Drew Diener, president of
Delta Tau Delta and senior
English major, said Rush, par
ticularly Bid Day, should be a
celebration of what is ahead for
the pledges.
“Rush is the springboard for
the semester,” Diener said, “since
it affects the general attitude
within the fraternity house.”
Diener said rushees usually
know which fraternity they are
going to join before they even
receive their bids.
“By Monday or Tuesday, I’d
say around two-thirds of them
knew which fraternity they
wanted to join,” Diener said.
Adrian Gottschalk, president
of Delta Chi and junior bio
chemistry major, said each fra
ternity recruits 10 to 12 pledges
in the spring.
“Spring Rush is a lot smaller
(than Fall Rush), so it’s hard to
predict the numbers,” he said.
“Most people will just end up
waiting until fall to rush.”
Investigation into an alleged
Pi Kappa Alpha hazing incident
adversely affected the number
of pledges this semester,
Gottschalk said, and caused
people to regard the Greek sys
tem with suspicion.
“There are a lot of good
Greeks who are diverse in many
areas,” Gottschalk said. “It’s sad
to see people comment on an

Gottschalk said students who
rush in the spring usually re
ceive bids from the fraternities
of their choice.
“Rushees who decide to do that
(try for a bid from a particular
fraternity) usually are the ones
who are pumped about the Greek
system, and they are generally
good guys,” Gottschalk said.
Jason Signor, a Delta Chi
pledge and junior chemistry ma
jor, said he did not approach
Rush with a specific goal.
“During Rush Week, I just,
went to the events for free food,’,
Signor said. j
“I didn’t make up my mini',
