Fourth in the series of Collegian
questions and answers as written
by the Office of War Information
concerns women in college and
their status after the war.
Should women stay in college ox
find useful jobs?
Women must decide this ques
tion for -themselves. The answer
in any individual case depends
upon the interests and abilities of
the women in question, the avail
ability of a war-connected job and
the college facilities at hand.
Shuld women get jobs on farms
next summer, or should they go to
summer school and try to finish
their college courses as quickly as
possible?
Where the shortage of farm la
bor is acute and where the work is
the type college women can per
form, many college women should
help with such farm labor. No
generalization can be given. The
question must be answered in
terms of the woman and the job.
What' will happen to working
women and professional women
when the men come -back from
war to lake their old jobs?
Plans are being made for order
ly demobilization and assistance
in finding employment after the
war for_.all, those in the armed
forces and war industries. Follow
ing the last war, women were
dropped from many jobs which
they had taken-on during the war
(e.g.-, street car conductors), but
many women continued to work
on the jobs and in the occupations
which had for the first time been
opened- to women during the war.
It is likely that after this war
there will be a wider range of jobs
open to women than ever before;
but the extent of women’s employ-'
ment will be governed by the gen
eral economic situation and avail
ability of employment for men as
well as women.
, Kappa Alpha Theta will enter
tain town mothers and alumnae
from 4 until 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

We, TJL Women
Quota System Back
In Panhel Limelight
Local Panhelenic Council has
grown in the last few years to the
extent that now there exist on our
campus 14 national women’s fra
ternities.
Competition among the strong
est groups rises higher with each
rushing season, and although it
can’t be called “cut-throat” as yet,
Greeks would be willing to admit,
we feel, that .it is on that verge.
Because of this stiff competitive
spirit, newly organized sororities
haven’t a chance to either become
strong or to enlarge their mem
bership.
In view of this situation, mem
bers of Panhellenic have been
considei’ing the quota rushing sys
tem used by numerous colieges
and universities.
Under this popular method .of
securing new members, a pledge
quota, determined each year... by
the number of eligible women and
the number of groups selecting,
is set to limit Greek organizations.
In any event, all of the. organ
izations have the same number at
which to aim and the same limit at
which they have to stop.
Information as to the success
of the system at other schools will
be obtained by a Panhellenic
Council committee apointed to
write letters. Suggestions for'the
type of rushing acompanying' the
method’and ways that the quota
can beset up or broken in will
be requested. ...
Outstanding advantage of the
system; it seems to us, is the bene
fit that it will afford the smaller,
and less solidly established chap
ters on campus. It will put them
in a comfortable competition with
the other more settled groups.
It will tone down a great deal
of the neck-to-neck finishing of a
few fraternities and since soror
ity housing conditions are limited, 1
it will solve a great many iiving
problems. _ '
If it were instituted here, it
might mean a change in the rush
ing code, but if its results ..were
more satisfactory to a larger-num
ber of people, the change. might
be worth it. '
• The whole idea calls for deep
consideration, foresight, and plan
ning. Sorority women- should give
it just that.
