by Commie Keller
Although a change in the
Meaning of silent period has
been made by Panhellenic Coun
cil, that change is not so great
as to warrant free association
with rushees by sorority women.
To . prevent abuse and perhaps
the. consequent penalties which
ensue, it would be ,wise for all
rushers and rushees, to know the
ition .of the term
One strict silent period will be
extent covered by the new defin
observed when absolutely no
conversation of any kin will be
allowed. This period follows im
mediately after coffee hours and
continues until the night of rib
boning.
The remainder, of the silent
periods listed in. the Panhellenic
rushing- schedule are not quite
as strict,and 'can perhaps be
best • explined by example of
what may pass 'as'an observanceol the rule.
If a sorority woman and a
rushee happen to meet at the
door of a church they may pro
ceed to the ceremony together;
if, ,quite accidently, they find
themselves together on a double
date regular conversation may
be held; or if .in any' other un
avoidable incident theyh are
thrown together they , may act
as they normally would. 'ln any
other instance, a passing "hel
lo" .is sufficient.
13y :no means can an artificial
,situation be created in which a
sorority woman deliberate 1 y
plans to be thrown in the same
company as a rushee.
Thus, the same meaning of a

"Modern" Dancing
Could Be Called
Calisthenics,
By Geraldine Kassab
Modern dance class it's called.
At the risk of sounding much
less glamorous; it might more ac
curately be termed a course in
glorified calisthenics.
The course started with harm
less enough sitting up exercises,
but that was only the beginning.
It seems that every little muscle
on the body craves exercise, and
never let it be said that one little
fingertip has been neglected in
modern dance class.
The contortions vary from
sensible little leg swings to one
exercise consisting of a mad
rhythmmic scramble from floor
length position to a frantic up
heaval of the entire torso. All
in time to music.
Another gem is the "Leap!
two-three" run. A good run con
sists of a mighty leap accom
panied by corresponding motion
with the alternating arm. The
student can't help but wonder if
this technique also • applies to
track runners. If so, the fifty
yard dash would suffice to lay
out even Barney Ewell
An Art
It seems that,, there is an art
involved even in the "Old Fash
ioned Walk:'. One should walk
with a direct, rhythmic step, as
though following some magnetic
pull, the source of which was
not made known. (Even the im
agination gets• its share of exer
cise.)
But the course dcies have ad
vantages. There have been ac
tual cases cited where fortu
nate individuals have lost as
much as an inch from the waist
line. Others report a definite
improvement in poise and grace:
Uncanny, but gratifying. No one
ever worked harder for any
thing!
In closing, just a word of
skepticism: Should it be termed
modern pre-historic dance?

Firm Says State College Can
Have Philly, Pittsburgh TV
By Marvin Krasnansky
State College can have television •reception from Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh, according to the Franklin, Pa., company which re
cently asked Borough council for permission to string wires across
public property. Council has deferred action until more details are
available. • •
• The company claims it has developed a method of intercepting
television signals in the air and running them by wire to homes
desiring the service. State Col
lege is one of about 50 communi
ties in the mountainous areas of
Pennsylvania surveyed by the
company. The results showed that
television is possible here with
out the construction of a rebroad
cast station at a cost of $lOO,OOO.
Master antennas, placed on the
highest point within a radius of
a few miles from State College is
the key to the "exclusive" method
developed by the company. The
Collegian has learned from Paul
J. Rennard, vice-president. The
method has been viewed by engi
neers from the Dumont Labora
tories and found "perfect," Ren
nard said.
"The picture we provide through
our service," Rennard said, "is
equivalent to a picture received
within a short distance from the
transmitting antenna."
Although Rennard hesitates to
estimate the cost to the television
basis, see "Perry" at the Dux Club, 128 S
