We, The Women—
She Has 12 Friends
From Which To Choose
Patty Atkins has just moved
into the strange new town of
Panhellenicville. She has met
many people whom she likes and
who like her, but there are 12
girls who have especially at
tracted her attention.
Among these 12 there are two
or three who live in fine houses
with beautiful furniture and car
pets. Patty likes to sit in their soft
chairs and talk amidst these
pleasant surroundings.
Several of the others have in
vited her to teas and luncheons
and she has been impressed by
the delicious food and pretty
dishes which they serve.
One of the girls has a shiny
new car which Patty loves to ride
in sometimes, but she has two
other friends who .take her
horseback riding and on long
hikes on foot. She enjoys them,
too.
She double dates with one of
the girls and has had no end of'
fun when they all go to the mov
ies or dancing.
The two remaining girls are
in all her high school classes;
‘she worked on the school. play
with one and the other helps
her with her homework when
ever she gets stuck.
These 13 friends are planning
to go to college next year and
each one of the 12 has asked
Patty to be her roommate for
their four years away at school.
She must decide in two weeks
and choose one, or she may tell
them she prefers a single room
and refuse them all.
Her mother has. advised her to
think it over very carefully be
fore expressing herself, and to
weigh the pros and cons of each
one as her decision will affect
her whole college life. Although
a single room will be cheaper
for her family, they have told
her that she may pick a room
mate if she is sure she will be
satisfied.
She has been counseled and
recounseled. She has been given
two weeks in which to make up
her mind, and she is on her own
from here. A.M.M.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Parties, Dating

Sororities will launch a 10-day
intensive rushing program this
noon after a strict silent period
of almost two and a half weeks.
Five informal parties by each'
house plus seven and a half days
•of free association when sorori
ties may entertain rushees at
their houses and rooms, in eating
places, at movies, and sports
events will feature the cam
paign.
Invitations for this week’s
round of parties are due at Stu
dent Union this morning and
will be issued through the Pan
hellenic Post Office this after
noon. Panhellenic members will
distribute them to campus dor
mitories, but town women will
be asked to call at Student Union
for theirs.
Acceptances or refusals to all
invitations should be made im
mediately by telephone as a
courtesy to sorority women who
cannot complete final party
plans without the number--of
guests.
Two strict silent periods will
provide a breathing spell during
the 10 days. The first begins at
5 p.m. Saturday and lasts until
noon Monday and the second ex
tends from 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb
ruary 13, until 5 p.m. the follow
•ing Saturday.
All expenses entailed in en
tertaining rushees in eating
places or movies or for gasoline
plus those for the five informal
parties must not exceed the $2O;
limit established in the Panhel
lenic Rushing Code. Daily ex-'
pense sheets must be submitted
to Panhellenic Rushing Chair
man Jean H. Krauser ’42 by each
house.
Visiting in freshman rooms is
permitted and freshmen may be
invited to sorority houses and
suites at any time but they may
not stay overnight.
Have A Cold!
Consult A Doctor
So you have a. cold! Your
head feels stuffy, your throat is
raw, and ’still there seems to be
nothing that you can do about it.
If you should ask the first five
people you meet in the street you
would undoubtedly get five dif
ferent “sure cures” for your cold,
even' though it is well known
that all medical science cannot
prevent or cure a cold.
If by increasing your resist
ance by additional rest your cold
is not cured in three or four
days, and if you develop sym
toms other than moderate dis
comfort, malaise, and a freely
running nose, see your, doctor at
once, because your cold has now
become complicated aind you
have become a. good candidate
for streptococcic sore throat, si
nusitis, abscessed ears, mastoid
itis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
Should you take a laxative for
your cold? No, if your digestive
tract is working at its usual well
regulated capacity.
Should you use nose drops?
Allow your doctor to decide this
question. Strong irritating nose
drops or drops containing oil are
often harmful. Oil drops may
cause pneumonia, and many oth
er kinds of drops have an ad
verse effect on nature’s mechan
ism for removing the infectious
agents and may cause sinusitis
or abscessed ears.
Should you use greases? No,
unless you wish to be malodor
ous. If you badly need counter
irritation, you badly need the
services of a physician.
Should you visit the free Col
lege Health Service when you
feel sick? Yes, if you are a col
lege student who wishes to stay
healthy and save money. •

Robin Chirps Merrily
Despite The Groundhog
The old groundhog has a rival
weather prophet in the Nittahy
mountains. A robin was seen in
the trees in front of Pond Lab
yesterday chirping derisively
upon the old fellow who saw his
shadow Sunday and went back
into the ground for six more
weeks.
Either the groundhog was see
ing things Sunday or the robin is
a little hasty this year. The of
ficial weatherman refuses com
ment.
