We, The Women— Sororities Admit Rushing Evils THAT SORORITIES voted nine to two against taking freshman women to chapel seems a -frank ad mission that they find the prolong ed rushing season has again been proven unsuccessful. Already this year a "gentleman's agreement" has been necessary to call the wolves off. That regulations have had to be modified or clarified in the past proves that it is time to take action. Time and time again the same cry has opposed the exisiting plan. The answer is always in the nega tive and includes the 'fact that freshmen should have the oppor tunity to orientate themselves be fore facing the question of whether to "go sorority." But how, we ask, can they ac custom themselves to the social and scholastic sides of College when sorority women camp in their rooms from breakfast until dormitory closing hours. And' how can sorority women pursue studies and activities when they must keep on a freshman's frail lest some other house get the i"inside track?" It is fine and dandy 'to talk of "free associations" and the 'bene fits freshmen derive from meeting outstanding sorority women. It is a good idea. But it just doesn't work. For, since "free contacting" has existed on the campus the good which has come from it has been overshadowed by the rush ing bugaboo which, like a snow ball rolling downhill gains in momentum and size until sud denly all else is shut from sight. It is too late to completely revise this year's code, but during second semester Panhellenic Council will be drawing up next year's rules. If all houses consent to a short first semester rush season or to a silent first semester with formal rushing second . semester what could stand in their way? The time has come to change the old system. Williams Explains PSCIA To Freshman Council Dr. C. 0. Williams, Acting Chairman of . the PSCA Board of Directors, conducted a round table discussion on the meaning of the PSCA at the initial meeting of the Freshman Council Tuesday. Committees for the coming year were set up by D. Nedlinegar, as sociate secretary of the PSCA and advisor of the group, assisted by Harold J. Berger '42, chairman of freshman men's work. Council officers will be nomi nated at the PSCA cabin retreat tomorrow.

MMiIik7;MI : M Want To Reduce 1 Doctors Tell How "Learn self-denial and avoid starchy and carbohydrate foods," Dr. Harriet M. Harry, College physician, advises those who want to loose that extra avoirdupois during their college careers. According to Dr. Ruby . Cun ningham, staff physician at Co well, California Hospital, weight reduction can be accomplished by college women without loss of stamina or other harmful effects. To this Dr. Harry adds that if you want to reduce, seek your doctor's advice. "Women who want to reduce should include adequate amounts of protein and vitamins in their diets," Dr. Cunningham cautioned. "Either two average servings of lean meat, fish or fowl, or one serving of meat and a large serv ing of cottage cheese is advisable. It is also well to include liver in weight reduction diets." "Be sure to have three meals a day," Dr. Harry insists. Her lists of "omits" include ice cream, cake, pie, cokes, potatoes, rice, maca roni, and all beans except thos of string variety. An average reducing diet which should vary according to the in dividual, according to Dr. Harry is—breakast: fruit or fruit juice, cooked cereal, toast, egg, bacon, milk or coffee; lunch: salad, milk, fruit dessert, one vegetable; din ner: meat, fish or fowl, two vege tables. and dessert or salad sub stitute. That's a starter for your 'Well worn resolutions to reduce, and if you're really serious, you'd bet ter close your eyes when dessert time rolls around.
