FItHJAY, OCTOBER 29, 1948 *W)e the lAJomen t>f Frances J\»eney by Frances Keeney Befor the rushing season be comes Just a blot on the memory of rushees and rushers, we'd like to recommend a tew suggestions for next year’s rushing code. This year’s system was devised With the idea of allowing the new coeds to meet the greatest amount of sorority girls and decide which sorority they wished to join in the shortest amount of time. It was consequently kept very brief and condensed, so condensed, in fact, that coeds involved haven’t yet caught up with their lessons, sleep, or work missed during that period. The motive behind this conden sation was to have rushing over by the time bluebooks begin. In this, the system was successful, but coeds should at least have time to study for tests before the last fateful night. 2nd Semester Rushing The first change we suggest is to have rushing in the beginning of the second semester. This was the custom as long as there were freshmen on the campus, but with the advent of the new soph omores, the committee decided they should be allowed to join a ■orority as quickly as possible. Nevertheless we think it only fair to the girls to have a semester on the campus to look over the sorority girls in all situations, in stead of just at their party best and to decide for themselves which sorority she may choose to join, instead of being rushed in blindly. Also, a semester wait would en able the girls to get adjusted to a larger campus and to work on building up her grades. There were many coeds, last year who pledged a sorority and were never able to become initiated because they lacked the average require ments. Open Houses If rushing were held the second semester, during the first semes ter sororities could hold Open Houses on a few Sundays to en able the new girls to meet the so rority members, and understand the sorority system. A major crit icism is that many girls upon ma triculating into the College know nothing or very little about soror ities, and are thrown into the rush the very first week, before they can even inhale a breath, and then they are pledged before they have a time to exhale this same breath. At the University of Minnesota they have found that selecting about ten sorority girls to act as impartial counselors to the new students is very effective and helpful. These counselors meet with the girls during their first semester on campus, and inform them, as well as answer any ques tions _ they may have concerning sororities. Chimes, national junior honorary, who has charge of or ientation of transfer women, serves a similar capacity during Orientation Week, but during ac tual rushing the new coeds have no one to turn to for advice or counsel. 117 From 171 During the past rushing season from 371 girls who registered for rushing, 117 decided to drop out jv PETE’S » open for parly and banquef ” reservations • dinners with the finest in meat • accommodations for 100 guests • special party and banquet prices • choice dates still open • call Centre Hall 14, today PETE’S PLACE ON ROUTE 45, ATOP MT. NITTANY THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Independent Men Entertain Coeds at PUB Harvest Mixer Independent men will entertain independent women at a “Har vest Mixer” in the PUB 2 p.m. Sunday, Special permission has been granted by Dean of Women Pearl O. Weston and Dean of Men Arthur A. Warnock for women to meet in the PUB for this mixer. “This is only the beginning of independent social activities,” Claire Lefkoe, president of the Independent Women’s Association, If this social proves successful she added, it is hopeful that many more such mixers will be ap proved by the Deans. Don Paul, Pollock Circle social chairman, originally presented the idea of a mixer, to be spon sored by the men of Pollock Circle and Nittany Dormitories. Independent women wishing to attend the mixer will be met by the men at their dormitories. Women should meet at the fol lowing locations: Atherton women will meet Clairice Liinch in Atherton lobby at 2 p.m. Women from Women’s Building and Mac Allister Hall, will meet Alice Lanyon in the Mac Allister lounge. Miss Lefkoe will meet women from Grange, Simmons and town in the Sim mons Hall lobby. The informal mixer will in clude dancing and games. Enter tainment and refreshments will be provided. PUB is the men’s old dining commons now used as a recrea tion room for men. Women are reminded that, though they have special permission to meet at the PUB, they are restricted from men’s dormitories. Open House Postponed The second Simmons Hall Open House originally scheduled for this weekend has been postponed because of incomplete facilities. The main stairs and other minor details are still to be finished be fore the building will be open to the public for further inspection, stated Walter R. Hosterman, Jr., utility engineer of the College. Due to the success of the first Open House last weekend, plans are being formulated for the sec ond and possibly a third Open House to be held later this semes ter. Simmons, the latest edition to the College buildings, is Georgian colonial m design and has 315 rooms which house 532 women students. Approximately 150 persons at tended the tea held in the Main Lounge of Simmons during last weekend’s Open House. Hostesses for the tea were Mrs. Verna Bink, Elizabeth Laird. Mrs. Mabel Spen cer, Mrs. Lois Rice, and Mrs. Anna Searle. and wait until later, mainly be cause they were in such a state of confusion they felt they couldn’t make a choice in such a limited amount of time. The Panhellenic Rushing com mittee is beginning work on a new code for next year. Some changes already suggested are the cutting down of coke date times, and elimination of decorations and favors at the parties. C^o-^dditd Chi Phi Chi Phi has pledged the follow ing men this semester: Oliver Blackwell, Clinton Burehill, Myron Lemont, Frank Lisk, James Rinehardt, Edwin Sheriff. Delta Gamma Delta Gamma will entertain Phi Kappa Sigma at an informal Earty to be held at the Phi Kappa igma house Sunday afternoon.

Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Alpha Theta entertained the Delta Upsilon fraternity with an informal party in the sorority chapter house from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Girls Hockey Teams Plan for Annual Army-Navy Games Traditional Army and Navy women’s hockey teams will be chosen next week and will com pete against each other as long as the hockey season continues. Girls selected for either team will be those who have shown the most enthusiasm and skill throughout the season. Women’s intramural hockey has been limited to practice scrimmages throughout the past two weeks because of the small number of girls participating, according to Pat Rauterberg, in tramural manager of hockey. Plans previously included sophomore-upperclass games, but because of the small turnout only two games were played in which the scoring could be considered significant. ...Just for You All These Good Things The Finest and Freshest Seafood in 'ZJown % HOT FOOD m GOOD VARIETY • PROMPT SERVICE THE Alpha Sigma Phi Alpha Sigma Phi and Alpha Tau Omega held an exchange dinner October 28.
