Panhel Committee Suggests
Rush Code
First Semester
Plan Requires
Senate Approval
Designed to simplify rufching
over three semesters, a code
Which suggests that coeds be
j hedged within a month of matri
<\station has been given to the
Fenste Committee on Student
Welfare for consideration by Pan
bellenic Council’s committee.
According to Frances E. Haley
’43, president, the Council re
quests -that the Senate Committee
sanction the plan for two semester
trial periods, beginning in June
and September.
Before Panhellenic Council
could consider the code, it would
be necessary for the Student Wel
fare Committee to waive a regu
lation, effective since February,
1934, requiring a semester’s resi
dence before pledging.
Under the proposed code, sor
ority women would be permitted
limited contact with freshman
and transfer women during their
first week in College. Room visit
ing and “Dutch treats” would be
included.
The rushing committee suggest
ed that the following two weeks
V>e made a silent period, in which
there would be weekly get-togeth
ers by invitation. Parties would
be similar to first semester get
togethers this year.
Formal rushing, immediately
following silent period, would be
.slashed to one week. Formal cof
fee hours would replace formal
•dmners. •
Miss Haley stressed that the
code is intended as a temporary
t rial measure, formulated to save
time and money and to avoid con
fusion. If it is approved by the
Genate Committee, it will go to
Hamhellenic-Council, where a ma
jority vote will be required to
snake it effective.

Haley, and Polly I. Phillips ’43. ■

We, T)L Women
Students Sicken
As ‘Band Plays On’
Before the feature flashed on
the screen the other night, the
audience was brought to its feet
by a sudden burst of patriotic
music. Glass cases dropped and
coats gathered as students be
grudgingly got to their feet to
sing the Star Spangled Banner
when Old Glory waved across the
screen.
Movie-goers had paid 40 cents
to be transported for two hours
into another world, but pseudo
patriotic propaganda jarred them
into reality. Results of the pro
paganda were disgusted mum
blings and whispered curses.
Last week in the Sandwich
Shop comments were exchanged
on a recent front page edit of the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Students
definitely voiced their feelings
against its suggestions.
Answering the President’s re
quest for more general and more
enthusiastic display of patriotism,
the author suggested “getting a
band out at least once a week to
march with men leaving Pitts
burgh for the service, stage a
great demonstration of civilian de
fense workers—bring out the
bands again and let the air-raid
wardens, fire fighters, first aid
workers, and others not on duty
turn out for a tremendous rally—
put up service flags.”
Love of one’s country, sincere
interest, and willing participation
in its activities would be natural
if certain .government actions re
flected similar sentiments. Stu
dents are too skeptical and too
bitter to sop up obvious propa
ganda. They want straight facts
as long as they won’t aid the
enemy. Then they will unite
wholeheartedly to get rid of this
mess as quickly as possible.

WRA Cancels
Sports Day
WRA Sports Day, which would
have rolled into its third con
secutive yeah on campus, has been
cancelled this year because of the
speed-up program adopted by the
College, Ann Drivas ’43, • WRA
president, stated yesterday.
Questionnaires sent to all col
•leges l-epresented at last year’s
confab showed the project would
be considered both impractical
and impossible to carry out in
view of the shortened semester,
Miss Drivas said. Letters, to col
leges explained that the occasion,
to be held the weekend of April
25, just ten days before the end
of the second semester, would not
be held this year..
The circulars further stated that
only 50 per cent of the colleges
invited to attend last year Were
able to send delegates. Of this
percentage, only 25 per cent ar
rived at the convention, Miss
Drivas pointed out.
Miss Mary Kaye Brown, former
national women’s tennis: cham
pion, was guest of honor .at the
’4l Sports Day, representecP'by 25
colleges.
The annual WRA banquet for
women contributing outstanding
work in the organization has also
been dispensed with.-as ..super
fluous expense, Miss Drivas , de
clared. ....
