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.

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.
