The students need 10 percent of the student body to sign the peti tion. If they get the required amount of signatures, another vote will be held on the elections. This referendum would not need the Student Senate’s ap proval to be implemented. The students’ goal is to get 5,000 sig natures and 1,300 were gathered by Sunday afternoon. Continued from Page 1 Individual fraternities had dif ferent rush functions from Jan. 16 to Jan. 23, such as bowling and date parties, to help rushees decide which fraternity would be the most suitable for them.
