Panhel Hears Rules
For Rushing Period
A reminder of the strict silence period to be observed between,
sorority, members and rushees after a bid is sent to a rushee •was
one of the five rushing rules reviewed before Panhellenic . Council
Tuesday night.
Ellen Wandel, council president, brought the rules _before the
group because she said she had
heard rumors that some sororities
were violating standard informal
rushing procedure. Miss Wandel
did not specify what the rumored
violations were
, She said that although no char
ges had been proved, the persons
making them. must have had some
reason to do so before the council
president.
• Action May Be Taken
"I have always thought that
rushing was a way we could put
the honor system to work at Penn
State," Miss Wandel said. She
pointed out that the council could
certainly not watch over every
'sorority member but that if com
plaints continued Some action
would have to be taken.
In her review, Miss Wandel
listed the rules for the informal
rushing program.
1. No sorority may entertain
rushees in the chapter room be
tween 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.
2. All coke dates must be held
in the chapter room; no refresh
ments, planned entertainment or
favors may be given rushees.
No Registration Required
3. No registration is required
for informal rushing. However
rushees may sign up in the Dean
of Women's office to visit sorori
ties.
4. All bids must be formal writ
ten notes sent to rushees through
the Dean of Women's office.
5. Rushees must answer bids
within one week after receiving
them, during which time a strict
silence period must be observed
between rushees and the sorority
sending the bid.
Twenty-one women have regis
tered this week in the Dean of Wo-
Voting Age --
(Continued from page four)
"Many 18-year-olds are too im
mature to be interested in govern
ment, and to investigate the back
ground of the candidates to find
who is the right one. When they
are older, they have more interest
in government and in electing the
most qualified people."
Anew twist to the polling ques
tion was added when several
students said they thought the
voting age should be raised to 25,
instead of lowered.

This brings the _total of rushees
registered to 60.
In answer to a question about
sorority members' conduct toward
freshman women, Miss Wandel
told the council that freshman
women may not be entertained
nor visit in the chapter room. The
women may visit in the members'
private rooms in the sorority
suites.
"This informal rushing period
is the most intensified in a long
time," Miss W andel said, "We
cannot lower our barriers (against
rushing violations.)"
Suggests Holding Bids
Gail Green, Kappa Kappa Gam
ma, suggested to the council that
sorority bids be held and sent out
at the first of every month during
the informal rushing period. She
said that this might eliminate
confusion and uncertainty among
sororities and rushees about when
a bid has been sent and when
and if a bid will be received.
Miss Wandel recommended that
the suggestion be carried back to
sororities for discussion.
The council passed a request,
from Anna Webb, Interfraternity
Council- Panhellenic Sing co
chairman, that first and second
places be awarded in this year's
sing contest and that plaques
which may be kept by the winners
be awarded to the four finalists
in addition to the two standard
rotating cups.
In further act ion the council
passed a second request that it
act as co-editor with the Inter
fraternity Council for the IFC-
Panhel Newsletter.

Religion. Gives Life
Guidance-- Hczrpster
Religion is a guide in life and helps provide a goal, Dorothy
Harpster told a group of coeds at a fireside discussion Tuesday in
Woman's Building.
Relating life experiences and quoting from several books, Miss
Harpster, head of the English department at the State College High
School, described the differences
that being a Christian can make.
Miss Harpster related an inci
dent which happened to her dur
ing her first year of teaching.
She said she 'asked her class to
"describe and characterize some
one you know and like." The per
son described was kept a secret
until the end of the characteriza
tion. One boy described his per
son as being a Christian. He fin
ally revealed that he was talking
about ,Miss Harpster.
She later asked him how he
knew she was a Christian.
He said, "You like everybody,
and my mother told me that peo
ple who like everybody are
Christians."
Miss Harpster suggested that
this might be a definition of a
Christian—one who likes people.
Quoting from Billy Graham's
book "Peace with God," Miss
Harpster said that in 1952 people
spent millions. of dollars on for
tune tellers. She also said that.
about 16,000 people committed
suicide and thousands of others
attempted. Asking why Americans
seem, to have so many problems
Miss Harpster said that perhaps
people just don't know what they
are seeking.
Miss Harpster also told of seven
men who had 'been multi-million
aires in the '2os. Two of them died
penniless, two served in prison,
and three committed suicide. She
said they had money, power, fame,
prestige, and intelligence, but they
had no, religion to guide them
in life.
In her talk, Miss Harpster list
ed some of the characteristics
which make a Christian. She said
that they have a goal in life,
they control their tempers and

Speaking about the life here
after, Miss Harpster quoted from
Graham's book, "I know where
I came from, I know why I'm here,
I know where I'm going, and I
have peace in my heart in going."

Keep the houseparties burning
A fire ricochetting sparks
is fascinating to watch and a
refreshing aroma of pine is
heaven to sniff. Make the two
as pleasant a duo as hot dogs
and mustard by getting a box
of Campfire Memories to toss
into the flames for that out
door woodsy smell of the
Northwest! (Roomie, hand me
mah suede jacket and deer
skin slippers—l'm off to con
mune with nature.) Sounds
like corn (it's really pine) but
the aroma is pleasant and
very realistic. Any red-blood

what a real campfire is—just
ask me, been boy scouting for
years.

Terrify tissue?
Now wait—line up—for tissue

really beautiful. Metal con

preventing mangled tissue
boxes. We think it's an item
no fraternity powder room

been told to be under it. See
you at Ethels!!
