The Objective View— :
Ins And Cuts
Of WSGA
By JEANNE C. STILES
Editor's note: This is the first
in a series of articles to explain
various aspects of WSGA here.
They will cover coed regulations
and enforcement, social affairs,
freshman , and transfer orienta
tion, budget expenditures, and
WSGA organization and pur
poses.
Penn State women weren’t far
behind women of the United
States in 1919, the year women’s
suffrage was incorporated into
the Constitution of the United
. States as the Nineteenth Amend
ment, for it was in that year
Women’s Student Government
was inaugurated on this campus.
Since that time, women’s priv
ileges in governing themselves
have increased rapidly. Today,
we have the most powerful and
effective student government in
Pennsylvania, comparing. favor
ably with the best in the country.
It aids the PSCA in' planning
the annual Brotherhood Week,
provides two or three scholar-'
■ships and a. loan fund for deserv
ing women, sponsors social af
fairs, and contributes clothes and
money to Mrs. Hetzel’s Emerg
ency Fund for students.
Through representation on All-
College Cabinet, which started
two years ago, women are able
to stand up for their rights. It is
through Cabinet that women are
able to have representation on
College committees and deter
mine policies governing the stu
dent body.
Representatives on the Cabinet
include presidents of WSGA,
WRA, Panhellenic Council, and
Philotes. These women represent
all coeds enrolled in the College.
It 'is through such representa
tion that women have come to
play such an important part in
administration of student affairs
and why much is accomplished
for the good of women students.

We, The Women
Rushing Progresses
Under Alert Group
Congratulations to a wide
awake, energetic rushing- com
mittee which after two weeks of
intensive planning has evolved
a new Rushing Code to correct
the worst features of this year's
system in an attempt to. answer
the criticisms of faculty and ad
ministration.
. By proposing the controversial
between-semester rushing as a
panacea for this year’s ills, the
committee is attempting to prove
to sorority women that the plan
is feasible, that it is commend
able, and that it should be ac
ceptable.
Because rushing under this
-plan would begin the day after
final examinations and continue
through registration to the first
day and a half of classes, the
most intensive period would take
place during a time devoted to
rushing and nothing- else. With
no classes to attend, or rather to
cut, with no assignments to pre
pare, and with mornings in which
to sleep, freshmen and sorority
women could emerge with much
less_ strain and nervous tension,
without three or four chapters
of back reading in every course.
Freshmen by popular consent
were ' hardest hit by the mad
rush this year and came out of
it a sorry lot with work piled sky
high. Certainly, any step to cor
rect this will be in the right di
rection.
-Sacrifice of mid-semester vaca
tion is the chief cry of sorority
women against, the plan. All but
seniors have forgotten that mid
semester vacations are relatively
new, that three years ago, stu
dents went directly from finals
.into classes.
Only other serious objection
to the proposal is that the strain
of finals requires a rest before
rushing is attempted, but the
great majority of women have
finished their exams during "the
first week; others have only one
or two at the most during the
second week. Previous classes
suffered no ill effects without a
vacation. Have we become weak
er?
By removing the unrushed
freshmen from the scene, damag
ed feelings will be avoided or at
least alleviated, and the pain will
be short-lived.
Added consideration for trans
fer women who were forced to
live in dormitories surrounded
by sorority women this year
without associating with them
has been extended by allowing
them to visit and be visited in
dormitory rooms—another pro
gressive feature to come forth
from a progressive commitfee.
Pledges of Kappa Kappa
Gamma will honor Mrs. Lloyd
M. Jones, Pittsburgh alumna
and new rushing advisor with a

~JPO
you can’t fool a little feathered
friend about spring migrations! The
smart bird knows that Greyhound
is the easiest way to flit home to the
family nest and back to college
again when vacation time’s over.
The saving is plenty big—in both
time and money —• and the trip’s
more fun in a Super-Coach full of
friends. There’s an extra saving, as
usual, on round-trip tickets. So be
kind: to your pocketbook—and to
yourself—go Greyhound.
