Panhei Council
Votes To Accept
Chapter Limitation
Maximum Membership
To Equalize Sororities
After frequent attempts to estab
lish some form of regulation of
sorority expansion, Panhellenic
Council accepted the system of
chapter limitation at its meeting
Tuesday.
National Panhellenic advises un
der this plan a limitation of 50
members for all sororities in a col
lege of this size. This limit was
accepted by the council.
Aside from this suggestion, the
rules committee of the council was
free to adapt the plan to Penn
State's needs. Already it has sug
gested eight semesters as the per
iod during which women's frater
nities are free to adjust their mem
bership to the new limit. A com
plete set of limitation principles
will be formulated by the group
and put to vote by the council.
The purpose of the system, as
put to test . in many other colleges,
is to reduce the memberships of
large groups to numbers which
can function most effectively as
social units and thus raise the
membership of smaller sororities
to the point where there are no
numerical distinctions. In point of
fact, it has proven of most benefit
in bringing the middle group of
sororities. to a level with the large
ones,
In achieving .this limit of 50, a
sorority must plan its pledge
classes so that the total will not be
swelled• beyond bounds when the
pledges are counted. It has, there
fore been suggested that the
pledge class equal the graduating
senior class.
Rushing under the system will
be unchanged. New members will
probably be rushed every other
semester, under the same rules as
formerly were observed.

Ag School Offers Course
To 'Backyard Growers'
A short course in poultry hus
bandry, of value to beginners and
backyard growers as well as com
mercial poultrymen, will be given
at the College from October 4 to
28. The closing three days will be
devoted to the annual poultry con_
ference at which speakers of state
and national prominence will dis
cuss feeding and management
problems.
This course and •conference are
'expected to be unusually helpful
this year because of certain feed
shortages which have made it dif
ficult to prepare satisfactory poul
try rations.
In addition to nutrition prob
lems, the usual attention will be
given to hatching, brooding, hous
ing, care and marketing of eggs
and meat birds, and the control of
poultry pests.

year she emerged runner-up in the
western state championship, and
completed the district tournament
with the championship.
Miss Fleming glances back over
years of golfing to her first tour
nament and laughingly recalls her
initial victory when she won the
junior championship of the Centre
Hills Country Club.
She was prompted, to abandon
tournament activities for the dura
tion because tournaments which
formerly lasted for several weeks
were reduced to a day. She will
play golf now "purely for enjoy
ment of it."
Miss Fleming began instructing
golf classes Monday and will as
sume the club advisership at the
next meeting. Ruth Embury --is
