    YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SORORITY
Once upon a time there was a
college campus upon which the boys
outnumbered the girls eight to one.
Suprisingly, this was a source of
great consternation for the two
sexes (which one we're not sure).
The Guys had an organization
through which they did a lot of
things on the campus. This made
them feel very big and important.
The girls decided they didn't
want the guys leaving the campus
with delusions of grandeur only
to have them shattered at Univer
sity Park. So they banded toge
ther and performed this service
right on campus.
Having performed this good
deed, they decided to stay together
and perform many others for the
benefit of the campus and all its
glorious students. To make them
selves seem big, they called it a
sorority, and being rah rats, they
called Psi Sigma Upsilon (PSU--
get it kidsl)
Now the girls are going
great, and under the glorious
leadership of their president,
Kathie Horsman, they hope to have
a glorious year. Some of them
met during the summer to discuss
plans.
Some of their handiworx has
already become evident this year.
Under the chairmanship of Karen
Schutte the Big Sister program
has continued to help the sopho
mores and freshmen get acquainted
and to familiarize the freshmen
with the campus. Karen also
arranged a committee of girls to
meet the new dorm girls and to
help them get settled when they
arrived. Included in the programs
for the year is a Jamray, a special
Psi Sig recreation night, and a Rush
Week t o be held at the beginning of
the Fall Term.
This week the sophomores are
sponsoring a tea and informal "Co-ed
to Co-ed" talk in the Carriage House.
The moral of this story is ob
bious: Good can come from evil. Or,
if you will: There's safety in num
bers.

Ruth Brown and Carol De Arment,
editor and assistant respectively,
attended the uninspiring Press Ass
ociation of Commonwealth Campuses,
but received few new ideas from that
source.
The Cub is being revitalized by
hard work on the part of editors and
staff, and invites new staff members
to the Memorial Room luncheon meeting
of this Wednesday, September 28.
Students, especially those with pre
