June Rosen Rushing Racket? • Is Panhellenic Council adding impetus to a movement to abolish sororities on this and other campuses? The Council, composed o£ representa tives from eac'h sorority, supposedly organized to further the, Greek societies, has unearthed a plan to insure more efficient rushing at no cost to its members. ; One proposal states that every freshman coed who wishes to be rushed by campus sororities must declare herself, register, and deposit $2. If she pledges at the close of the rushing season one of her dollars remains in the Panhel treasury, the other going to her sorority; if she decides not to pledge, one dollar goes into the treasury and she may claim the other dollar. The fee, advocates of the plan maintain, goes for the expense of the registration procedure, the freshman panhel book let, and the expense of having a secretary mimeo graph the Council’s minutes. The fallacies in the plan are apparent. Each sorority pays dues of into the Panhellenic treasury annua’ly—an adequate amount to pay for the nominal costs of the freshman registration apart from the Council’s expenses. The proposal, as it stands, demands that a coed pay for the privilege of being rushed. And, if not pledged, the coed faces humiliation by. the return of one dollar. There must be a simpler means to accom plish this registration without involving potential rushees in what on the surface seems an unnec essary money-making plan. A nation-wide trend against sororities is fast developing. Sororities, at this crucial point, must justify their existence as worthwhile and profitable organizations. Pan heilenic Council, if it passes such a measure, is taking a step in the wrong direction. —P.'W. Frosh Customs This semester many freshmen are not wearing green bows or dinks, and are violating other cus toms, but they are never reported to Judicial or Tribunal. The. fault here lies not with the frosh, but with the. upperclassmen who refuse to question fresh men about the location of buildings or the wear ing of customs. This jcb has fallen primarily on the members of Judicial and Tribunal, who cer tainly cannot contact all the frosh. If we are to have freshman customs at all. ev ery upperclassman as well as every freshman must cooperate.

She: My name isn’t Mable. He: Isn't this Wednesday night? —Froth THE COLLEGIAN —MANIAC —The Thielensian Back In Mufti On May 19, 1944, at an air base in England, anxious eyes scann ed the eastern sky for seme .trace of the missing bombers. Only three” planes out of a squadron of thirteen had returned. Nine never came back. , i ■; Forty-two minutes later the tenth plane came limping in. With ed to land. As the wheels touched. no flaps and no brakes it endeavoi the concrete runway and the plane started to-roll,-the-land ing gear gave way, A sudden screeching sound penetrated the. air as the B-24 dug its nose into the earth. It was the first and last mission for the unnamed plane. Four wounded men were gently lifted from the fuselage of the battle scarred plane which 'had been on a bombing raid over Brunswick, Germany. Flying in the “purple heartt” corner of the for mation, they had met fighters and heavy flak as they approached the taget. As they dropped their bombs and swung around for their second run, FWl9o’s and 'MEllO’s attacked with relentless fury. Flak ripped gaping holes in the ship as the ground defenders found their mark. - The bombardier was hand firing his gun one round at a time after it had 'been hit. All four men in the waist of the plane were woun ded; the left waist gunner had his v left heel blown off. He passed out momentarily and then com ing to, he got to his -feet .and brought down an attacking Gerry with machine gun fire. They fought off the attacking fighters, bringing down three of them and. damaging one. With orie engine out they headed for the channel, and home. On the homeward journey the pilot called the tail gunner on the inter-phone. “Were you hit back there?” Ex-GI Information ; Plans are under way for better organisation of the trailer-camp.-.
