.that of acting by itself.
“During the emergency,” said
Charles L. Kinsloe, professor of

Courses of Study committee is
empowered to act by itself On all
proposed changes in courses and
curriculum in order to speed up
the College program.”

We, 5/L Women
Panliel Makes
Wise Decision
. Despite the whirlwind schedule
adopted by most- groups to comply
with the shortened College semes-,
ter, Panhellenic Association has
not. tampered with the rushing
schedule. This, we feel, is the
wisest move possible.
Because fraternity women want
to further the interests of their
respective houses, they want am
ple , opportunity to associate with
prospective sisters. Had intensive
rushing been eliminated, such
would-have been impossible.
Rushees, naturally, have been
trying to decide in which house
they will be happiest.- Formal
rushing helps them make final
conclusions. .
Greeks have been planning -for
these ten' days, less than a month
away, gnd,-in many instances, al
ready made purchases. Such
things could not be easily upset.
These women’s-fraternities are
organizations that will outlive the
present emergency. The way their
affairs are conducted now will
have a definite bearing on their
future status.
Time is 'paramount in making
stable decisions. Merely issuing
bids, as was suggested, after a
month of limited contact, would
hardly have insured wise prepara
tion .for. the future.

Newspaper advertising saves you money—you can compare prices better than
you could by store- to-store searching. It saves you time—you can decide just where
to go before you start. And it saves you mistakes—these goods are sold exactly
as advertised!
So read all the news in the newspapers! Sometimes the advertisements can
mean more to vou than all the foreign dispatches on f’age One!
