Nittany Valley Substitutes
For West Indian Island
Aruba, an island in the West Indies, is a tropical paradise. It
was the home of a Penn State sophomore.
William Mello is the fortunate person. For the past five years
he had enjoyed the beautiful coral beaches and constant warm
climate of the island. He lived with his faMily in the American
colony. His former home was Boston.-
After coming to Penn State,
Mello decided that the College in
the valley of the Nittany Moun
tains is one of the best schools for
petroleum and natural gas engi
neering. His interest in this field
was aroused: by the atmosphere
of Aruba. The island has an oil
refinery and fueling station for
ships. Mello's father is a ship
man's representative for the oil
company.
Provides Entertainment
The settlement for the Ameri
cans is an Esso Refining Co. pro
ject. The, company maintains a
sdhool system to the 12th grade,
from which Mello was gradu
ated; a commissary, selling food,
clothing, and other needs; and a
club with a movie, lounges, dance
floor, recreation rooms and bowl
ing alleys.
.The population of the island is
getting larger and graduating
classes have grown quickly. The
1952 class totaled 23. Previous
years averaged less than ten.
Some teachers , at Aruba High
School are Penn State graduates
which probably contributed to
Mello's choice of a college.
Much of the_ colony's entertain
ment is provided by the school.
It has the s o ci al and athletic
events found in many large Uni
ted States high schools. Mello
was active on the basketball, soc
cer, softball and swimming teams.
Mello and his friends enjoyed

Sorority. Rush Whirl
Enjoyed by Coeds
By AL MUNN
Sororities took on new meaning for sophomore women Saturday
as coeds rushed to Atherton Hall to begin a new phase in their
college life—rushing. Surprisingly enough, Greek letters and pins
apply to the female of the species as well as the male.
The now-registered coeds were given a schedule which informed
them the first function attended would be open houses, They were
told they could stay at each one
for a limited time only so it would
be possible for them to visit all
the groups open to them.
One look at the number of
suites to be visited was enough
to convince rushees that their.
Saturday night dates had better
be spent sitting in a quiet movie
after tearing around all afternoon'
in that fabulous bit of feminine
7,pparel, high-heeled shoes.
Thick Smoke
The majority of sororities had
"sisters" sitting on the floor in
black while the poor, little rushee
sat on a chair chewing her finger
nails and feeling as though she
were about to be crowned "queen
of cigarette smoke" or conducted
to another world by black angels.
Speaking of cigarette smoke,
they say rushing is supposed to be
a good way to meet lots of new
people. Well, if they start a clean
up campaign in sorority suites
similar to the •one in Pittsburgh,
those new people might be seen
and then recognized on campus.
One heard a lot of names, though.
The usual questions about home
town, major field, and activities
followed one another as sisters
circulated from rushee to rushee.
By the end of the afternoon
everybody involved sounded, and
probably felt like broken records.
Coke Date Bids
Coke dates appeared next on
the schedule and the girls hurried
back to the Panhel post office to
find out if they .were considered
social successes or oft-dreaded
flops. Almost every girl found at
least one "brave" group and
pulled out her hair trying to fit
from ten to 15 coke dates into the
five hours they had left after
Friday's registration.
The next step for rushees came
yesterday as bids for Thursday
and Friday's coke dates were is
sued. Of course, half the first
round wasn't completed yet, but
the schedule must go on
This mad turmoil continues un
til Oct. 1 when sisters and rushees
can become one and belatedly be
gin classroom assignments.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Freeze,
of Mill Hall, announce the en
gagement of their daughter, Har
riet ' Freeze, to John E. Brickle
myer Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Bricklemyer of Greensburg.
Miss Freeze is a seventh seln
ester home economics education
student and a member of Alpha
Xi Delta.
Mr. Bricklemyer, a seventh
semester industrial engineering
student, is a member of Triangle,

Law School Tests
To Be Given Nov. 14
The law school admission test,
required by many leading Amer
ican law schools, will be given
Nov. 14 at more than 100 centers.
Graduate Rec or d Examina
tions, required for admission to a
number of graduate schools, will
be administered at c enters
throughout the country four times
in the coming year.
Coke Dates
For Rushing
End Tomorrow
The final round of coke dates
for sorority rushees will be held
from 1 to 5 p.m. today and tomor
row and 6:30 to 7:30 tonight and
tomorrow night.
No open coke dates will be held
Monday and Tuesday before ev
ening parties, as sororities with
out suite facilities will be deco
rating the lounges.
Formerly, a sorority was able
to use a bedroom in the suite for
open coke dates while the suite
was being decorated for the par
ty. However, it was felt this year
that this practice would be un
fair to groups without suites.
At homes will be held in sor
ority suites from 2 to 5 p.m. Sun
day. A rushee may accept only
four invitations to at homes and
may stay no longer than one hour
at any one sorority. She may riot
revisit that sorority during the
afternoon.
