The truthfulness of the nrtieln has been con firmed in creey voines.'s fraternity on. the commis. is riprintul here because of its ihtlkfulness anti its timeliness as ICOlltell'S rushing draws, to ft. close.

Alpha Delta IC ,, PPa Theta Chi Phi Gallllll4 we're all just rhrtera and ad along toguthre like a. Airy Mafia.") Penn State fraternity women are, generally speak ing, ladies. This does not include Monday evenings from six-thirty to seven or eight o'clock, during the first In December the rushing list in most of the worn en's fraternities has been narroWed doWn to approi mutely fifty names. Within two months about thirty five of these must be eliminated. Discussions ensue; nay, hell breaks loose. The discussions start quietly enough. This is be cause the girls prefer rebuttal to direct attack. Every one waits for someone else to start. The rushing chair man prods gently; finally there is heard a timid, "Well, I like her. - A soft murmur 'of agfeement folloWs; then another lull. It would almost §eem that the girl is definitely accepted—lucky creature! Suddenly out, of a shadow, conles.a breathlessly de fiant, "Welll dom'i like, her!" There is a general movement; eyes brighten; 'the Meeting - has come alive, and the bloody, battle begins. From this point on the little niceties are gradually abandoned, in spite 'of the chairman's 'efforts to follow her formula. She is deterniined to' he fair; but she scents :thine in her determination, for tolerance has ,no flee-for-all. place in this Her next question, "Will you tell us just what yoti don't like about this girl?" is torn from her lips by now fully awakened girls hurling shrill invective. The babble is terrific and no one knows or cares what anyone else is saying. . . . When the chairman becomes angry and distressed enough to cry, and does so, the girls genereusly quiet down and allow her to speak. She talk's fast: she does n't have king. "I'm g,dirig around the room and each of you is to tell your reasons for liking or not liking the, girl and please le quiet and listen to the girl .who has the floor and please tell the truth .and try to be calm and let's be systematic about this or we'll be here all night. All right, Mary, You start; do You like her?" Mary is now in a tight spot. So are the others, but they at least have a little time Lo think. It happens that the •freAnithn has, in her abysmal ignorance, beaten ?Amy to the:dr:tw on 'n coveted houseparty date. Sad den:y inspired, Mary says with.jUst proper .hesitaney and a shade of relucttance, "Well,l don't-know her very will, and fill that, and she may be all right, and I would-. n't Want ; . tO. influence - t he . girls agninStlier,but—really, do think nlie's sort of crinle,.Or' . a6Methip,gi;herH4e' ival‘.• she acts—her, oh—her hetieasii&inilbbys; inul all that." Mary has hit the jackpot. There is no one to deny the insinuation, and surely there can. be no defense of it. The chairman takeS quick advantage of the sudden silence to call c•n the next girl: Sue, it develops, has nothing really ojuinst• the freShrnan, not really, but somehow she doesn't like her. She cannot, 'or course, de scril•e her real grievance: the fact that this girl has buck teeth—and Sue just never could bear buck teeth ... The around-the-room ganie gees merrily on, and sometimes it is possible to distinguish the voice of the designated speaker above the otherS. The reasons for prejudice vary: vice clothes, a class office, or good fun ny (there's a stickler!) may or may not outweigh such drawkacks aS sectional speech pectiliairitieS Or thick glasses. Towards the end of the Meeting they decide to rush one girl to attract the girl's roommate, who is the real catch. • As the disciosion progresses maidenly voices arc again raised to a strident pitch. Dissension leads to heated quarrels. When the meeting is finally adjourned the ties that bind the group are frayed: indeed. ?font of the sisters disband hating one another mdst cordially. Their throats ache—the chairman can't talk above a whisper—but the list is shorter by nine names, and soon only the Chosen Few will remain on it. Then the real rushihg can beginand the girls will have a chance to show the lucky little darlings just how very, very nice they can be!
