Clap& Wiling Abolished Last
blight In 9-2 Sorority Vote
Thetas, Theta Phi Alphas
favored Continuance
33y a vote of nine to two,
I.ororities last night abolished
chapel dating. Although official
-confirmation must be made by
.Panhellenic Council at its next
-sheeting, tonight's ballots surpass
the two-thirds majority necessary
to pass any Panhellenic Rushing
Rules.
Kappa Alpha Theta favored
.:ontinuance of chapel dating be
cause they felt it was a better aid
in getting acquainted with fresh
men than room visiting and be
cause it was a more definite form
of rushing.
Theta Phi Alpha defended it as
"the only possible way we can get
io know the women, even slight
*
All other houses made definite
statements against chapel as a too
obvious form of rushing and
- voiced disapproval of beginning
tru.shing so early.
"Freshman women objected to it
*bore than they enjOyed it," said
ifeta Tau Alpha, in bringing up
the freshman's viewpoint. Alpha
Omicron Pi, Kappa Kappa Gam
-1441a, and Gamma Phi Beta also
thought it had harmful affects on
-the freshmen since a few of them
Iliad dates many weeks in advance
amd. - others, who had none, were
disappointed.
Alpha Chi Omega and Delta
Gamma condemned the unnatural
association fostered by chapel dat
li.»g and favored free association
4uring the week.
Complaints about violations of
the 'tentierilaii's agreement" made
several weeks agu about not going
to chapel in a body were issued by
Alpha Epsilon Phi, Chi Omega,
Gamma Phi Beta as reasons for
vetoing the measure.
Chapel dating is permitted for
this Sunday, however.

association period over, first se
mester rushing will get under
way today when all sororities hold

We, The Women—
Looking Over
Culture
CAMPUS CULTURAL oppor
tunities is a topic too often over
looked by the average student.
Hemmed irrby mountains from the
so-called • cosmopolitan world we
are inclined to attach too much im
portance •to culture gained from
books and classes and are apt to
confuse culture with impeccable
manners.
We bemoan the distance be
tween us and top-ranking artists
in the country and long for metro
politan dramas and musical com
edies. We wince at the city music
we are missing.
Often it is difficult to realize that
our mountain haven is a complete
world. The Artist's Course, art
collections, Penn State Players,
Thespians, and College music or
ganizations bring us as good or
better programs than any metro
politan group can afford.
In recent years the Artist Course
committee presented to the cam
pus such well-known persons as
Cornelia Otis Skinner. Fritz Kreii
ler and Percy Grainger. Players
put "Our Town" and "Night Must
Fall" and other plays behind
Schwab Auditorium footlights, and
Thespians produced their original
musicals. The Symphony orches
tra, Glee Club, College choir, and
Blue Band bring annually a col
lection of familiar and well-loved
selections for College consumption.
Last year's Rembrandt colle6tiOn
hit a new carhPus art high.
Our campus offers culture in
the . broadest meaning which all
can enjoy despite financial stltus.
It is for our own good and the bet
terment of our national living
standard that we take advantage
of it.
