Panhei Hears
Rushing Plans
The rushing code which -will govern formal sorority rushing
beginning Feb. 23 was read and revisions proposed at a Panhellenic
Council workshop, held Saturday.,
The code, a modification of the'plan used in the fall, was drawn
up by Panhei rushipg • chairman, and the council
rushing committee. . , : ;
. At the next Panhei meeting to
be held early second " semester
both- the rushing cc and ihe
proposed changes will be voted
upon.
Reject IFC Proposal
Next semester upperclass wo
men with 1.0 or better All-Col
lege averages and; second sem.es-‘
ter freshmen with averages of
l.£ or above may be rushed. Mari
lyn Levitt, president, said in-1953
second ; semester freshmen with
1.0 -averages may be rushed. Last
year no ' freshmen were ' eligible
for rushing.
In acting on a proposed plan
revising ‘ the agreement under
which,the Interfratemity Oput):
cil and Panhellenic Council would
sponsor the annual IFC-Panhel
ball, the workshop defeated- a
proposal that would have set up
the IFC vice president as Chair
man of a committee which would
have consisted of two other IFC
delegates and one Panhei repre
sentative. In the past the dance
was co-chaired, Miss Levitt said.
She said that Panhei would
make a counter-proposal in the
near future.
Open houses, coke dates, at
homes, parties, and coffee hours
constitute formal rushing. Any
contacts between sorority mem
bers and. rushees must be made
through the Panhellenic post of
fice which will handle registra
tion and invitations. During this
period conversation that is not
prearranged and-is not about
sororities is permitted, between
actives and rushees according to
the code.
The rules call for a 24 hour
strict silent period between the
final coffee hour and ribboning
during which the actives and
rushees may not engage in any
communications either directly or
through a third party.
May Have Chauffeurs
In a straw vote, the workshop
members favored using the bed
room nearest the chapter room
when the chapter room becomes
over crowded during' open houses.
Workshop members recommen
ded that groups unable to get
sufficient cars for coffee hours,
which may be held in town, may
apply to Panhel to be permitted
to have men act as chauffeurs.
This is the only time the rushing
code permits men or cars to be
used during rushing.
A strict silent period shall be
maintained during the two week
period between the end of for
mal rushing and the beginning
of informal rushing which shall
continue for the remainder of
the year, according to the code.

mended that no sorority be per

Fire Alarm Clangs
Come tit Bad Times
Fire drills are all very well arid good, basically. They train stu
dents to “walk, not run” to proper exits at the wildly insistent clang
of the fire alarm. Unfortunately it seems that the alarms are set to go
off at times when they will cause the greatest discomfort and
trouble to those participating in the drill.
The alarm bell usually starts
clang at 1:1:05 ori the nights that
the majority of students have de
cided to get to bed early.
Before running out into the
cold, windy night, one must do
several things. Rules for proper
drill procedure/ though explained
quite thoroughly at the beginning
of the semester, become more and
rtiore confused as time passes. No
one is quite sure as to whether
the lights are to be left on or
turned off; the doors, open or
closed; the shades, up or down.
A| least it’s clear that students
are to be out of the building, not
in it.
' Visually speaking, it. would be
better if some of the fire drillers
stayed inside. Many usually try
to, and cluster around , the door
like bees, in a hive/ blocking most
of the passage and creating the
proverbial bottleneck. This is done
in an effort to'keep as warm as
possible, and still take part in the
drill by being at least half out
of the building. It also of course
necessitates pushing and shoving,
like spectators leaving a football
game, in order to crowd as many
