THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
We, The Women—
Preferential Ballots
Save Time And Trouble
Now that the tumult and the
shouting of last week's pledging
have died down, sorority women,
pledges, and those who didn’t
“go" have settled hack to the
normal order of things. With
parties to plan, parties to attend, *
and parties to clean up—to say
nothing of innumerable coke
dates squeezed in every free sec
ond—the whole 10 days of formal
rushing proved a nightmare of
hustle and bustle. Sunday’s bid
ding came as welcome relief.
Sorority women, as a result,
have voiced one cry, “Rushing
took too much, time.” The thing
they have failed to realize is that
this year more than ever before,
rushing lists for many houses
were nearly- identical. Greeks
worked harder because' competi
tion was keener, not because the
period was longer nor the Rush--
ing Code stiffen ■_
Possible solution to this crit
icism might be the institution of
a perferential ballot system
which has already received favor
able cojnment from sororities.
Under this plan, rushees would
fill out a ballot at the end of the
first week of formal rushing in
dicating the two or three houses
which they are considering. Since
few, if any. women would change
their., preferences and add new
ones in the remaining time, the
proposal appears quite feasible.
At this point in rushing, most
women have only to decide be
tween two or three houses.
Advantages of such a plan
would permit houses to know
which rushees need concentration
and which are hopeless. Instead
of wearing themselves out by try
ing to rush a large list as a sort
of insurance policy against loos
ing out altogether, houses, know
ing where they- stood, could have
smaller but surer lists.
Panhellenic's Rushing Commit
tee together with newly-elected
pledge presidents will begin re
vision of the Rushing Code in the
near future. Let i,t keep mind that
every sorority with which this
preferential ballot plan has been
discussed so far has given its
whole-hearted approval.
Sraduafe Student Wins
Wiley Memorial Award
Peter C. Duisberg, graduate
student in agricultural and bio
logical chemistry at the College,
has been awarded .one of the
three Wiley Memorial Awards
for 1940. The award, $2OO in
cash, was based on a research
paper he completed while a sen
ior at Penn State last year. '
Duisberg devoted his research
to a comparison of the Hanus and
Rosenmund Kuhnhenn methods
for the determination of iodine
numbers. lodine numbers are
used to determine the chemical
properties of fats. For example,
fats with high iodine numbers
will usually dry quickly and are'
used, in the form of oils, by the
paint industry.
The Wiley Awards, sponsored
by the Association of Official
Agricultural Chemists in mem
ory of Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of
the bureau of chemistry of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
from 1884 to 1912, are open to
seniors in chemistry at any ac
credited college. Only three
awards are giv.en annually.
Duisberg’s research was con
ducted under the supervision of
Dr. H. O. Triebold, professor of
agricultural and biological chem
istry.

Shafted Again?
With the new bus depot now
located in the vicinity of the
18th hole on the College golf
course it might be nest for aU in
terests concerned to forget the
petty bickering and over-heated_
discussions that took place dur
ing the discussion of the situa
tion.
It is not this writer’s intention
to take sidfes with any of the
many factions who were for or
against the removal of the. bus
stop; The entire situation was
highly-involved and dealt with
personal feelings and prejudices
in many instances.
Many rumors concerning why
certain people wanted or did not
want the depot removed are
without adequate proof, others
.are accompanied by a consider
able amount of substantial evi
dence. But in either case, all
stories can more easily be for
gotten than they can bear being
re-told.
It is unfortunate that in every
situation some person must bear
the brunt of public derision, in
this instance namely Burgess
Wilbur F. Leitzell. For a writer
to scribe in behalf of Leitzell
might be considered treason in a
college publication, but the Bur
gess was only doing his job.
Nevertheless, throughout the
entire proceedings, the Burgess
was forced to be the “goat” of
criticism emanating from stu
dents, citizens, and other inter
ests. It is true that certain ordi
nances have been ‘taken lightly,
but the Burgess chose to enforce
this one, and perfectly within his
rights after having given fair
warning.
Leitzqll summed up the situa
tion completely Thursday night
when he said, “Council cannot
pass ordinances and then expect
me not to enforce them. I don’t
change my mind every 24 hours.”
Misrepresented?
Greyhound Bus Lines, accord
ing to Leitzell, charged that the
situation had been misrepresent
ed to them, but although that
may be true, evidence of this has
never been recorded ih council’s
record.
In the meantime, the College
students will suffer until July 1
when a new terminal will be
erected. Until recently the stu
dents’ viewpoint had not been
openly considered in the mat
ter by several of the factions in
volved. The College can make
the best of this situation by pro
viding a well-lighted walk and
protection from the terminal to
the various women’s dormitories
on campus, which unofficially it
has been stated they will do.
As for the men students, who
in many cases will walk three
extra blocks to the depot, let
them suffer in silence,'because it
is too late to remedy the situa
tion now.
