MORE ADVICE
The 1935 rushing code states that "During both
the first and second periods of rushing, a fraternity
man may enlighten the rushee in any fraternity mat-
As the COLLEGIAN interprets this part of the code,
the quotation offers the freshmen a chance to ask
some questions, concerning the fraternity' in regards
to finances, personnel, regulations, and customs.
This opportunity has been accorded freshmen from
year to year but too few frehmen have made use of
the priVilege, mostly because they are a bit dazzled by
the gloss of the fraternity men and because they are
afraid they will appear in the fraternity man's Oyes
totally lacking in the nonchalance and sophistication
which seem to count so much during rushing season..
As a result of this situation the COLLEGIAN has
made up a liSt of ten questions which may be useful to
prospective pledges in picking out their fraternity and
home for the next four years. Perhaps there are some
fraternities which will feel that these questions are a
bit harsh. The COLLEGIAN feels that only the frater
nities which will feel the least bit that way are the
ones which will be unable to answer these questiops
truthfully and proldly. If a house can answer these
questions without tinting the answers, it is certainly
welcome to use them as a rushing argument.
The ten questions:
1: What is the monthly bill, including dues, room,
and board? How many pledges must the fraternity
get to keep the bilLnt.this figure? ,
' 2. On how many months is this bill - figured 2 • '
3. Are there any speCial fees for hoilseparties,
and other social affairs: . -
4. Where did this fraternity stand in scholarship
last semester?
5. Who are the junior and sophomore men, the
ones•l will have to live with after this year?
6. How many of the men pledged last year failed
to be initiated and why?
7. What is the extent of the mortgage on the
house, if any?
8. Do I have to buy any bonds? •
9. What is the initiation lee? Is it payable in
installments? •
10. Is membership in this house limited by reli
gious preference?
GOV. EARLE'S SPEECHES
During the pat summer Governor Earle has been
called upon to make a great number of speeches,—
speeches to bicycle and whist clubs, to literary clubs,
political clubs and to veterans' organizations. That
Governor Earle should be called upon to make these
speeches is no surprize. Every Governor gets that job
whether he likes it or not and whether he can make good
speeches or not.
These speeches and constant haranguing are undoubt
edly a great strain upon any man in the public light so
much. And as a result of this strain politicians have
taken the easiest way of not saying anything and mak
ing it a more or less established fact that the speech
es of political notables on such occasions are glaring
products of un-thinking and dormant minds, which
brilliant impress our people with the fact that Arbor
Day is a sound idea, that we should have more schools,
and that Nature is beautiful.
For some reason Governor Earle has altered this pat
tern so long set down by his fore-runners and so read
ily accepted by his contemporaries. His speeches this
past summer have not been concerned with things al
ready accepted by everybody and have not been the
rambling bores that his good fore-runners foisted up
on the public as products of great minds.
In many speeches throughout the country Gover
nor Earle has continually pointed out with clarity and
brilliant foresight the dangers of fascism and the close
proximity of our present day government to that state
of affairs.
Some of his speeches before rabid veterans' groups
were nothing short of courageous and had he not been
,governor of this commonwealth ho probably would
have been thrown out of the meeting.
Because he was most bitter in his attacks upon those
exponents of fascism who have disgustingly veiled
themselves with the flag and because of his ability to
see that what is facing this country is not communism
but rather fascism, the COLLEGIAN extends to. Governor
Earl the heartiest of congratulations and well-wishes.

prOfs arc scared of the infernal machine that the
Carnegie people sent to play the records on.
So long as they play one side, turn the record over,
play that, and then begin all over, *all goes well. But
as soon as they try to use the' automatic changer,
all goes wrong. The machine sputters, growls omin-
ously, and crushes records.
One brash youth-,only a sophomore—has learned
to manipulate the contraption. Now all the profs are
jealous. We predict a Huey Long,fate for him.

Standing in the Wings:
If you think the name on Sock Kennedy's color
elsewhere in this issue was chosen because of a
passing whim, you're wrong. It was chosen only
after tests
but two of them were, for one reason or another,
rejected. The two were "Standing in the Wings"
and "Proscenium Patter." Half the editors voted
for one, half for the other. Finally one of them
raised the objection that the word "proscenium" was
too technical.
They decided to take a poll—the inevitable re
course of COLLEGIAN men. Two of them walked over
"itp:sOneighboring'er. booth, asked five studeits..OnlY

Not until after the head inidlheen set in type was
it discovered that the five students had been Betas.
