That the coeducational sportfest this afternoon will be used as a testing-ground for plans to provide further mixed games in the future was disclosed yesterday by Miss Bernice Finger, manager of women's intramural sports.
Games of badminton, pingpong. shuffleboard, and volleyball will be offered at. the sportfest this afternoon from 3:30 to 5 o’clock in the gymnasium.
“The physical education department has received numerous requests that the gym be thrown open to students one evening a week for mixed games such as those planned for this afternoon,” stated Miss Finger. "Whether they are advisable at SC depends upon whether the student demand is great.”
DEMAND NECESSARY
If Miss Finger and Harry Anderson, men’s intramural sports manager. are convinced that there is a demand for recreationals, they will jointly sponsor weekly evenings of badminton, pingpong, and other popular gymnasium activities, Miss Finger said.
“Recreationals” would not supplant the physical education department’s coeducational sport clubs, which offer separate units for golf, swimming, tennis, badminton, archery, fencing, and outing, the instructor stated.
CLUB FUNCTION
“The function of the sport clubs is to develop skill through regular practice and individual instruction on the part of the manager, while the recreationals would offer what their title suggests, merely “recreation.”
The seven sport clubs will be reorganized for the coming semester this afternoon in an intermission in the sportfest. Both present members and others desiring to attain proficiency in any of the games will be enrolled by managers.
The outing club, with Lorraine Kendall as manager, has scheduled an extensive program of hiking, horseback riding, skating, and other expeditions chosen by the members.

The universities will be selected by the successful candidates, subject to approval by the fellowship committee.

Greeks Given Reprieve by Commission Following Promises To Correct Violations
Assured by 16 Greek houses, which were charged with violating city zoning ordinances, that they will take action ir an attempt to correct the situation. Karl Hourston, investigator for the city planning commission, announced last night j that the 30-day deadline for zoning permits had been lifted.
The fraternities and sororities, facing eviction from their 28th street and Portland street homes, were informed on January 4 that unless they “discontinued their organizations or applied for a variance from zoning permit with 30 days, their case would be referred to the criminal division of the city attorney's office for attention.”
TWO HAVE APPLIED According to f^urston. only two houses. Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Chi Omega, have filed applications for a variance from zoning. The remaining houses have applied for property maps which will record the specific lot and the land within 500 feet of the house. As soon as the maps have been turned into the commission, a hearing will be set to work out the problem.
House presidents were shocked last month when they received letters from H. E. Smutz. director-manager of the department of cUy planning. The letters stated that 10 fraternities and 6 sororities were located in an “A” zone, which permits only the use of a building for a single-family residence. “It would appear, then.” Director Smutz continued. “that your fratemity is being conducted in violation of city-zoning regulations."
HOUSES AFFECTED Fraternities affected by the ruling include Alpha Rho Chi, Beta Kappa, Chi Phi. Delta Sigma Pi, Phi Kappa Psi. Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi Kappa Alpha. Sigma Nu. Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Tau Epsilon Phi.
Sororities ordered to apply for variance permits were Alpha Ep-silon Phi. .Beta Sigma Omicron. Gamma Phi Beta. Kappa Delta, Pi Beta Phi, and Zeta Tau Alpha.
Alpha Chi Omega, although protected by a permit in their present home at 666 West 28th street, is required to seek a variance for their future residence at 813 West 28th street.
RESIDENTS COMPLAIN The department action was begun after the commission had received complains from residents in the area regarding noise and disturbances caused by the occupants of the fratemity and sorority houses.
Houses will be granted hearings as soon as the maps have been filed and decisions will probably be made within three or four weeks after the hearings, during which time the or-: ganizations may occupy their present quarters. Hourston stated that the houses will probably all come up for hearing together.
