Penn State Will Miss Mrs, Eisenhower
- Penn State students were
greatly saddened this summer
by the news of the death of
Mrs. Milton S. Eisenhower, wife
of our President. Mrs. Eisen
hower died at the President's
mansion July 10.
Mrs. Eisenhower, who was a
favorite sister-in-law of Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower,
had been recovering from virus
■pneumonia when she died. The
President and Mrs. Eisenhower
flew to State College to attend
the funeral.
She and Dr. Eisenhower were
married Oct. 12, 1927. When
the Eisenhowers came to Penn
State from Kansas State, Mrs.
Eisenhower used to say that
the “most difficult part of be
ing a college president’s wife
is trying to work in a normal
family’s life and still be ready
at a minute’s notice for any
emergency connected with of
ficial duties.”
And, as all those who were
closely connected with her
knew, Mrs. Eisenhower relished
her role as wife of a president
of a university. To Penn\State,
she brought with her a wide and
enlightened interest in campus
life and people generally. She
Sorority Rushing: Good Judgment Is Needed
As ihe physical resources of sorority women
aad rushees are being taxed during these hectic
days of formal sorority rushing, so the good
judgment of both groups is getting a workout.
These two weeks will be marked by a great
deal of talking, too-much smoking, flurries of
hectic invitation-answering, worry about ap
propriate clothes, and strained smiles between
sorority member and rushees when the twain
gHali meet across dining table or on campus
In the midst, of this confusion, the rushee and
the sorority women must think clearly about
where the path is to lead.
It is unfortunate that rushees, as freshman
last year, had little contact with sororities and
now are plunged suddenly into rushing, almost
totally unfamiliar with Greek life.
Panhellenic Council attempted last year to
remedy the situation by holding firesides at
which the sorority system was discussed. Rush
ees who attended the informative firesides will
find their current observations supplemented
with some accurate knowledge.
Nonetheless, the rushee will find good judg
ment needed as she attempts to collect her
thoughts after coke dates and parties and en
suing rushing events and to decide with which
groups she has felt most at home.
The feeling of comfort and compatability with
a group is the clue which the rushee should
follow arid yet year after year women enter
rushing with preconceived ideas and' fixed
sights upon a “top” sorority or “Mother’s group”
and miss the opportunity to find a group of
women with interests and standards they share...
Few rushees need be given here the pros and
cons of independent versus sorority life. In
entering rushing they have at least shown an
interest in the Greek way. Many rushees, how
ever, should be reminded again to consider
their happiness with a group of women in three
year terms. It isn't the name of the group that
will become most important during that time
but the associations, work and play, with ihe
members.
Penn State sororities do not have houses.
Sometimes heard is the comment that sorority

ated more than just a few reci

Until illness prevented, she had
done all the family marketing
herself and had planned all the
family menus. She was an en
thusiast for needlework and
was particularly skillful in
elaborate embroidery and in
the restoration of tapestries.
Until heir death Mrs. Eisen
hower was striving to shield
Dr. Eisenhower from the grow
ing pressures of his office. She
used to tell friends that she
had long ago given up the idea
of making Dr. Eisenhower
“take it easy.” “When he has a
pressing problem, he isn’t hap
py until he has solved it, so all
I can do is try to protect him
from interruptions when he is
working and relieve him of as
much family responsibility as
possible,” she would say.
In addition to her duties to
her family, Mrs. Eisenhower
also served as an advisor to
the Mortar Board, senior wo
men’s honor society.
Mrs. Eisenhower was truly
an asset to the University and
every member of the Penn
State family will miss her.

life at the University consequently holds few
advantages over the independent way. It is
true that living conditions for sorority women
and independent are very nearly identical.
Greeks do not possess physical advantages other
than the suites which most of the groups rent
from the University. ■"
Because, at that, some sororities exist ably
without suites, it is evident that there must be
something else to hold the group together and
give “sorority” significance.
If there is a term for this bond it must be
fellowship—the sharing of common ideals, in
terests, likes and dislikes, friendships. It is this
common ground that the rushee and sorority
woman must seek. Neither sororities nor rushees
wish to be stereotyped—the sorority by seeking
only one “type” of woman or the rushee by
joining a group which will destroy her indi
viduality. Sororities and rushees both must
consider, however, the pattern of their person
alities.
Unfortunately, for sororities, there are things
other than personalities of rushees that must
be considered in selecting members. Penn State
sororities are under a quota system which re
stricts, or sets a limit on, the number of their
members. Classes must be balanced because the
graduation of an overloaded class will leave a
terrific gap in the sorority. Consequently,'junior
women may find that sororities which under
other circumstances might happily bid them
will be unable to do so if their junior class is
already quite large. An overloaded class, how
ever, may be of concern to one sorority and
not to another. It is only one factor the sorority
and the rushee should consider.
Penn State has 22 sororities and, currently,
a large group of rushees. There are plenty of
both to go around. If sororities and rushees
choose calmly and wisely, the end of formal
rushing should find sororities with well-bal
anced pledge classes and new pledges with
happy Greek affiliations. If good judgment has
been used, the new pledges will increase the
merit of the sorority, and the sorority the char
acter development of its pledges.

Faculty Club Talk■
Engle
Crying
Head football coach Rip Engle, said by many to be the prime user
of the well-known crying towel among college football coaches after
the retirement of Frank Leahy at Notre Dame, bolstered his reputa
tion yesterday in a talk to the Faculty Luncheon Club at the Hotel
State College. :
Before presenting his talk on “Football in. America Today,” the
gray-haired eagle of the Nittany grid squad jokingly admitted, “All
I can say about this season is that
we’re undefeated so far.” .The
Lions open Saturday against a re
portedly tough Illinois team.
Then Engle turned his atten
tion back to Penn State's foot-,
ball team and its' status, both
past and present, among the ma
jor grid powers of the nation.
''There • are several changes
needed," Engle said, "which,
would have to be made if Penn
State were to be potentials for.
a ranking in the first five teams:
in the nation. There is a price
to pay for such a rating."
In outlining several points which
would possibly enable the Lioris
to elevate their national ' grid
ranking, Engle emphasized, the
fact- that he would not personally
want such a price paid. “The fact
that Penn State is not paying the
price for high-powered teams is
not a criticism,” he said.
To compete against top teams,
Engle said, and still win, Penn
State would have to adopt similar
policies of those same schools.
This would include lowering aca T
demic standards to enable some
boys to remain on the squad.
“Such, a policy can not be de
fended,” Engle said. “It is paying
off at other schools,” he admitted,
“but I hope we don’t do it.”
The final Iwo points which
Engle touched upon were the
factors of time and money.
"More money is creeping into
the picture," Engle said. "The
size of the school seldom makes
much difference to a high school
athlete; he is looking for room,
board, and tuition," he ex
plained.
As coach of the Lions for his
fifth year, Engle pointed out that
many boys gets their education
by the sports route. “And they’re
looking for it, too,” he said.
About $48,000 is supplied by the
University and alumni for foot
ball aid, Engle estimated. “Other
schools often spend up to $250,000
in a similar program,” he said.
The availability of the team for
practice was the third fact Engle
pointed out. “Contact work is set
for three days a week—Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday—but on
Wednesday nearly ten of my boys
can’t be at practice until 5 p.m.,”
be said. “The coach whohas his.

boys at 3:30 p.m. daily will have
the edge on us.”
In a question and answer ses
sion following Engle's talk, the
"moaningesi" coach in the busi
ness answered a querry that he
has 17 letlermen returning to
this year's team, "That's true."
Engle- admitted, "but about 80
'per - cent' of 'the teams in the
nation have that many men re
turning."
Weaver Hall Is
Where Hort Was
. The name of the late Frederick
Pattison. Weaver was responsible
for a lot of confusion yesterday.
Over the summer, the name of
11. e Horticulture Building was
changed to Weaver Hall, honor
ing' the man who served as head
of the department of agricultural
economics and rural sociology for
23 years.
When students started .search
ing their timetables to find where
their classes were scheduled, lots
of them found they .had classes in
Weaver Hall.
“Where’s Weaver Hall?” they
wondered. • .1
It’s right where it always was—
