The president and rushing chairmen from each sorority will attend. , As the second round of coke dates draws near, rushees prob ably- feel more 1 , acclimated: to; the day-long social whirl. The first function rushees at tended were Open Houses, when they-: were expected to make the rounds of 20-some sororities in two days. ' That, meant about 20 tO" 30''minutes' could be spent at. each suite. In this short time rushees were introduced to so many people that names and faces blended into a rather vague impression. At times chapter rooms became crowded to over-flowing and cig arette smoke made it almost im possible to read the name cards. It.-Was harder to cross the room and find a vacant seat than to find standing room in a Broad way premier. However, . things looked up with coke dates. The rooms were less crowded and skirts and sweaters adapt themselves more comfortably to sitting on the floor. Conversation ran in other .chan nels - besides the thoroughly ex plored .-.curriculums and home towns of the Open Houses. Yet, a hew obstacle had to be overcome —no name tags. It is quite-a " trick to carry on a con versation while madly trying to recall if this was Janie Smith you were talking to or if Janie was the gal across the room. Or-was her name Junie? This mad turmoil will continue until Oct. 1 when . “sisters” and rushees may become one group arid belatedly begin classroom as signments. WRA Fall Clubs To Resume Activities Strike?

Van Tries Collects Beauty Queen Titles ■ While most eoeds collect stuffed animals or fraternity , pins, Haney Van Tries, seventh semester advertising major from State College, collects beauty titles. -Miss Van. Tries, since her coronation as Miss Penn State in May, has added the title of - “Pennsylvania College Queen” to her col lection. -And how it all happened is still a big question mark, in her very pretty head.' “Things all happened so fast,” says Miss- Van Tries.- First there was the letter from the'NatiOhal College Queen contest asking her to enter the state competition. A full-length photograph and an es say on “What a College, Educa tion Means to Me” followed! And before she knew it, Penn: State’s claim, to collegiate pulchritude had been named winner in the Pennsylvania College Queen con test; The news that Bess Myerson, Miss America of 1945, had chosen her' as Pennsylvania College Queen came to Miss Van Tries in July while she was waitressing at an. Ocean City, N.J., restaurant. Called away on the phone from her duties, Miss Van Tries left hungry customers patiently wait ing while she listened to. details about the national competition. • Complications in the form' of “Edna,” the hurricane, arose, and after a series of missed and grounded Miss Van Tries decided to drive with her family to Asbury Park, N.J., for the na tional college queen program. A night of driving preceded the all day picture-taking sessions in As bury Park, and Miss Van Tries admits being “pretty 'near dead” during the contest itself. Reaches Semi-Finals After appearances in shorts and college sweater, evening gown, and bathing- suit—which, inci dentally, “was no fun at all” to Miss Van Tries—the State College coed found herself in the semi finals with ten other state queens. Ginger- Steen, Temple University, representing • the - Greater Phila delphia’ area received the national title and $5OOO in prizes. Besides the 27 other state queens at the Sept. 12 contest, Miss Van Tries met the judges who included Ida Lupino, film actress;; Norman Brokenshire, pio neer" radioman; Steve Cochran, stage and movie star; Johnny and Penny Olsen, television-radio team; and the Ritz Brothers. She recalls lunch with Jay Owen, popularly , referred to as the ;“Dr. 1.Q.” ‘of radio as one of the high lights of her trip. And . although she enjoyed the company of him and his wife, Miss Van Tries re fused an offer to work in tele vision. Fine. arts are the interest of this senior coed.
