Recommendations Report Closes
Three-Day Panhel
Scholarship, Rushing
Stressed In Parleys
• Summing up the accomplish
ments of the 66 delegates to the
three-day Regional Panhellenic
Conference here over the week
end, the recommendations corn
xnittee reported its suggestions and
decisions at the final session Sun
day morning.
Future conferences, a redefini
tion and publication of the con
cepts and purposes of Panhellenic,
high scholarship, a thorough study
of rushing including the problem
of deferred as opposed to imme
diate rushing, limitation of chap
ter membership and adoption of
the quota system, and closer co
operation between city and col
lege Panhellenic associations
were stressed by the committee.
Specific activities brought out
in Round Tables to foster closer
cooperation between college and
sororities include faculty teas,
charity drives, stunt nights, and
scholarship promotion.
Scholarship discussion promoted
a wealth of suggestions with most
delegates stressing the importance
of proper pledge training. Study
hours for all freshmen and for
those upperclasswomen with low
averages, removal of social priv
ileges for below grades, reduction
to pledge status of women with
deficient scholarship, awarding of
Panhellenic scholarship cups to
pledge groups as well as to chap
ters, individual and chapter mone
tary awards, and promotion of
cultural topics for freshmen led
the list of proposals.
"We must pioneer harder for
,scholarship, which is the reason
'for coming to college after all,"
said Mrs. Irving S. Brown; Alpha
Cb.i Omega delegate to National
Panhellenic Association.
Rushing discussion led by
Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women,
resulted in controversy over the
problem of immediate versus de
ferred rushing and led to a plan
for an intensive study of the sit-
Vation.
Deferred rushing, it was
brought out in the meeting, enab
les freshmen and transfers to be
come better acquainted with
houses before making a decision.
National Panhellenic Association,
however, favors a short rushing
period, Mrs. A. K. Anderson,
presiding chairman pointed out.
A few delegates mentioned that
in their schools, sorority women
move into other houses to assist
with rushing when smaller houses
cannot make their quota. Oppo
nents to this statement complain
gd that it was unfair to freshmen.

Catch-Of-The-Campus
Robert Robinson '4l was chosen
"Catch-of-the-Campus" at the Mor
tar Board Spinster Skip last Sat
urday.
Bob Robinson Is
Coeds' Ideal Man
Make way, gals, the Catch-of
the-Campus is on the loose and Bob
Robinson '4l, is taking plenty of
good-natured razzing for winning
State's first male beauty contest.'
No, he hasn't signed a movie
contract, landed a job posing for
collar ads, or been offered royalties
on "How To Win Votes and Be
come a King," but he did merit a
dogchain and collar. This week
end? Sorry, gals, he's all tied up!
The handsome BMOC was nam
ed the womens' ideal man by
Eleanor L. Fagans '4l, Mortar
Board head, who also named run
ner-up Lew Corbin '4l, Tribunal
prexy, as Sam, The Marryin' Man.
The finalists were led through a
crowd of Spinster Skip couples by
Daisy Mae Marce Stringer '4l, and
were given theater paSses.
Bob didn't appear at all nervous
about the crowning distinction and
later said, "I felt kind of silly, but
it was loads of fun."
Asked about the dance itself,
which carried out the theme of
Sadie Hawkins Day with cartoons
of Al Capp's characters and comic
strip cutouts, Bob said. "It was
really a swell dance; and Mortar
Board deserv,es a lot of credit. I
think, though, the idea could have
been extended to make it a real
campus affair."
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Food Packages Important,
Reports Ag Engineer
Good packaging and wrapping
are of great importance in placing
food in cold storage lockers if it
is to remain in the best of condi
tion, John E. Nicholas, agricul
tural engineer at the College, re
minded users. Packages must be
small and loosely placed in the
"quick freezer" if they really are
to freeze quickly, he said, since
the cold air must circulate about
them.
Chapel Comments—
Clausen Praises
'Those About To Die'
"You who are about to die, I
salute you;" Dr. Bernard C. Clau
sen, pastor of the First Baptist
Church,' Pittsburgh, declared in
his address at Chapel service Sun
day morning.
Dr. Clausen held his' audience
spellbound as he made straight
about the truth of "Conscription
for Christians."
"The conscripts are led to think
they will go a short distance from
home for a year, receive many
benefits from the army training
and then return home," he said.
"However," Dr. Clausen con
tinued, "only the leaders in our
government and the turn of events
can determine whether this idea
is correct."

We, The-Women—
Panhellenic. Parley
—A Success Story
THAT Penn State is a mecca of
fraternities and one o'clock dates
was not the ohly impression given
to Panhellenic delegates last
weekend. First-time visitors were
taken with the-beauty of the cam
pus and friendliness of their host=
esses.
It was pleasant to learn that
National Panhellenic favors a
short rushing season'at the begin
ning of the . year.
Sixty delegates took Li'l Ab
ners to Mortar Board's Spinster
Skip—dates provided •by an effi
cient two-women Panhellenic date
bureau.
To sum up—the conference was
precisely planned and executed.
Best thing about it was the in
formal
. discussions, both on the
parley floor and - in later bull ses
sions. It was stimulating to both
visiting Greeks and the local sor
ority women who carried off the
weekend in a regal manner.
ADD COLLEGE SPIRIT—Tex
as Aggie rooters set up such a ter
rific roar during - their game with
Southern Methodist that the game
was stopped several times for the
SM_ team to hear signals. If - the
almost 7,000 State cheerers could
make noises like those 6,500 Ag
gies, it would make every cheer
leader jump with joy. It could
be done!' .
