No Changes Made
In Women's Rules
For Dimout Drill
With a half-hour blackout sche
duled for some time tonight, Mar
garet K. Sherman '43, WSGA
president, has announced that
there will be no definite student
government regulations pertaining
to it. If the blackout continues
through 11 o'clock, coeds 'should
return to dormitories as soon as
it is over, she stated.
"Women will not have specific
trule.s to follow as in former black
outs, because," according to MiSs
Sherman, "this is the time for
persons to adapt themselves to
blackout conditions without addi
tional regulations."
'When the warning is sounded,
coeds in dormitories should go to
assigned air raid shelters, and
those who are out must go to the
91earest shelter, Miss Sherman
stressed.
Know War Aims
Shibli Tells Coeds
h►i Fireside Sessions
"To understand our objectives
in this war, we must understand
Fascism and Nazism," said Mr. Ja-
Uir associate mathematics
professor, as he addressed Ather
ton Hall coeds in the west court
'ast evening.
As part of a Fireside Session
program, the lecture was sponsor
ed by PSCA. Following dinner
in the dormitory, Mr. Shibli was
iiltroduced to regular and Sum-
Jner session students •by Mary K.
Hess '45, southwest Atherton Hall
social chairman.
"As I understand it," comment
ed Mr. Shibli," the guiding thought
of the German race is that it is a
superior race and because it is
superior it must dominate."
It is the doctrine of Germany
to claim the people and soil wher
ever a German lives. Mr. Shibli
stressed the fact that the philoso
phy of the Germans makes it im
possible for us to live side by side
in peace because the Germans be
lieve the.strong should subdue the
weak while we believe in Chris
tian ideals of brotherhood and
equality.
Women are considered not fully
human in Germany. They are
given very little education because
their duty is to bring children in
to the world so that Germany can
expand.
"We are fighting to save our
country and children from that
type of life," said Mr. Shibli.
It is getting clearer and clearer
to us that we must win this war
by fighting, not by just building
the greatest arsenal. The last
war was a heroic war but this
time we realize the reason for
fighting, Mr. Shibli said in clos
ing.

We p she Women
Rush Hard, Then
Rest A Semester
With pledge ribbons securely
pinned and . post-rushing gossip
dwindling, coeds are wondering if
first semester rushing should bi
continued.
Despite gloomy predictions, hu
mid weather, and a limited num
ber of rushees, it
_is generally
agreed that the new system has
proved itself. Most coeds like its
quick efficiency.
. However, no rushing program
is sufficiently quick nor efficient
to merit its • functioning each se
mester—three times yearly for
the duration. There simply are
not enough women interested in
joining sororities to necessitate
three rushing periods.
Why not combine the best fea
tures of bah systems—delayed
and immediate—and schedule
rushing in alternate semesters.?
This would insure enough pros
pective Greeks to make it worth
while. This would give coke
saturated sorority women a chance
to recover. This would mean that
rushing could be conducted with
a minimum expenditure of time,
money, and 'energy.
Why not?
It seems to us that fraternity
and sorority Hell Weeks should
be eliminated, along with floral
corsages and extra gas.
•We can't see how much char
acter is built or any brotherly
spirit and house loyalty fostered
by requiring pledges 'to announce
from the roof that all is well every
half hour, as one fraternity did
Sunday night.
It's about time that pledge train
ing is raised from a high school
to a college level.
