Colds Lessened Outdoors
Cites Havens In Ledure
"Anyone who spends much time
indoors in class rooms and offices
has nine times as much chance of
contacting a cold as the policeman
who stands on the street corner
all day," stated Dr. Paul Havens,
of Jefferson Medical Colege, Phil
adelphia in a lecture on "Pneu
monia and the Common Cold," in
Schwab Auditorium, Wednesday.
"Outdoor life tends to streng
then resistance,".. Dr. Havens ex
ilained, "and this helps to stave
off many colds."
"If people woul6' realize that
every cold costs them about $l5,
they would take more precau
tions," Dr. Haven& continued.
Noting that little progress has
been made in preparing an anti
cold vaccine, Dr. Havens praised
the fight against pneumonia as one
of the finest achievements in mod
ern science.

We, The Women—
For And Against
A Quota System
THE FACT THAT the Panhel
lenic conference theme of sorority
cooperation failed to end with-the
wekeend parley deserves some
'comment. That this . cooperation
can go so far to to make Greek
groups on some campuses help
their weaker Panhellenic sister
rush amazed many of the con
ferees.
The existance of a quota system
is no doubt responsible for the
success of this cooperative rush
aid. When one house fills its
quota of pledges it pitches in and
rushes for its sister houses. At
one college strong houses are pro
hibited from pledging upperclass
women and transfers to give_ the
weak houses a chance.
Against the quota system can
be stated that it isn't fair fo fresh
man women to find afer pledging
that their rushers are members of
another sorority.
Much more can he added against
a . quota system.
But we agree with delegates
from Bucknell University, Wash
ington College, and the University
of South Carolina that the system
fosters better Panhellenic rela
tions.
