Your WSGA— Behind The Lines (Editor's Note: This is the third in the series of articles discussing purpose and organ ization of women's student gov ernment.) . . Patterned after the federal bi cameral system, WSGA divides its legislative duties between two houses—the Senate and House of Representatives. As in. the federal government, .the House is the larger ,body but its legislation is subject to the Veto power of the Senate. Headed by the WSGA vice president, the House is composed of presidents of upperclass Ath erton Hall units, presidents of other upperclass dorms having not less than five women, and repre sentatives from each sorority. WSGA Senate must approve all House members. The Senate nominates dormitory officers within two weeks of the beginning of the first semester and must sanction additional nominations made from the floor. Failure to maintain an All-Col lege average of 1.3, unexcused ab sences from two meetings with out a substitute representative, or a gederal attitude of indifference are grounds for removal. WSGA House of Representa tives, which meets at least twice monthly, legislates on all matters brought by representatives from upperclass houses or referred to it by Senate. It is in charge of the annual Christmas drive and transfer orientation. Main duty of Senate, which meets weekly, is to initiate and control all business which deals with undergraduate women. This body names committee chairmen and must approve appointments of committee members. WSGA committee membership is not restricted to Senate or House of Representative members. Installation of State College alumnae chapter of Gamma Phi Beta will be held at the sorority suite at 7:30 o'clock tonight. Krauser '42, Panhellenic president, has returned from student teach ing in time to preside over Pan hellenic Council during intensive rushing. We, .51, e Minot Perplexed, Frosh? Here Are Rush Tips Old. Main's first stroke of noon today opens formal rushing with Greeks and frosh alike plunging into eight days of social activity. Informal parties, formal din ners, and very limited daytime as sociation will be the only way for rushees to know Greeks better and vice versa. More than ever, freshmen will need to use discretion in their de cisions. They must remember that sorority lite is not one party. after another and that most of the time sorority life consists of informal, more natural contacts. Parties show houses at their best. So look around, frosh, and judge houses on informal Eis well as formal occasions. A paramount consideration is how you will fit into the house. Try to see yourself as a member and decide if the members are women you want to live with. Look around at other coeds the house is rushing for those are the ones with whom you will be in constant contact for the rest of your college days. Weigh sororities and decide if you Honestly want .to join one for more than superficial reasons such as appearance or popularity. While you are considering houses, judge them by their rush ing policies. Beware of the house that drip over you or talk down other houses. They are not worth your thoughts and a house that breaks the rushing code to con tact you during silent periods can not be relied upon to keep its other promises. .Most importkit—make up your own mind. Don't be swayed by "advice" whether it be offered by male female, upperclassmen, un derclassmen, classmates, Greeks, or Independents—the decision is your 3. It's your college life, something that will last through out your life. Others may judge such things by standards different from yours. You are the one who knows what you want.
