SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 25. 1954 ‘At Homes’ Start Final Phase of Rushing Events By DOTTIE STONE Rushees will be, busy with the next three events of rushing-at-homes, tomorrow, and parties and coffee hours next week. Each rushee selects the four at home invitations she wishes to accept and writes formal replies to the invitations she receives today. Rushees may pick up invitations at 10 a.m. at the Panhellenic post office in Ather ton Hall. Replies must be delivered to the Panhel post office by 1 p.m. After replies are turned in, rushees will have a break in the heavy schedule until 2 p.m. Sunday when, in suits or dresses, they will begin visits to sorority suites for Hatworpen Aid, Protect Freshmen . Helping initiate a new Fresh man Joint Customs Board experi ment for women’s hat societies have relinquished their roles as chief customs enforcers and have attempted instead to be the “pro tectors” of the freshman class. In cooperation with men’s hat societies, hatwomen have offered their services as counselors and “helpmates” to new students by guiding them in campus routine and forestalling hazing from up perclassmen. Although two full weeks of the academic year have not yet been completed, hatwomen have spent over a hundred woman-hours in University service and in making plans for future campus projects. During Orientation Week, Cwens, sophomore women’s hat society, and Chimes, junior wom en’s hat society, counseled fresh man women and transfer students in their living units. Nightly meetings were held for new stu dents, and special programs ex plaining campus organizations were sponsored and enacted with the help of the hatwomen. Hatwomen also helped Univer sity officials during the registra tion period in Recreation Hall. Plans have already been begun for Cwens’ annual Dungaree Drag, to be held Oct. 9 in Ree Hall. The group sponsors the girl ask-boy affair each year, and turns, profits into scholarships for University sophomore women. Mortar Board, senior women’s hat society, has begun plans for its annual Mardi Gras, a .festival of booths and stage shows by women’s campus organizations in November. In conjunction with Mortar Board, Chimes sponsors the Mardi Ball, an informal dance held on the night following Mardi Gras. Weekend Dawns; Awaken, Frosh! Harken, frosh, your first Penn State “school” weekend is at hand. Use it wisely, and observe. Shhhh, home ec majors, and end of the alphabet schedulers, as you tread sleepily to early morn ing class. Dorm-mates are sleep ing. They’ll rouse in time for .lunch. Eleven or one o’clock, that is the problem. Whether to grant Kick-off Dance or tonight’s date extra hours. It’s decided now, and perhaps regretted, but weekends come every five days so you’ll have another chance. See story elsewhere oh this page to learn what social life is offered other than the ' movies. Remember, Emily Post says greet the chaperones when you arrive and thank them before you leave. Little mention is made of the propriety of ignoring them be tween-times. Tomorrow is study day. So is today, but observance of. same is infrequent by some. Play the records, kibitz at bridge, quietly. Worried ones with full schedules and thick books are at work. Grant Named Director Richard W. Grant, former head of the departments of music and music education, has been ap pointed director for the 1954-55 season of the Manhattan Chapter of the Society for the Preserva tion and Encouragement of Bar bershop Quartette Singing in America, Inc. at homes, Party Invitations .

Parties will be held in sorority suites from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and 8:30 to 10 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. Rushees will wear dresses and stockings unless costumes or sports clothes are designated on the invitation. Entertainment, Refreshments Entertainment will be given by the sororities and refreshments will be served. Sorority members may not call for guests, but will take them back to their dormitory entrances. If one rushee could attend the 22 parties giyen by sororities, she would find a variety ranging from Alpha Gamma Delta’s “Greek Party,” to Delta Deita Delta’s “Under the Sea,” and Kappa Delta’s “Heaven to Hell Party.” This hypothetical rushee would next -go down south to Alpha Omicron Pi’s “Southern Planta tion,” and Gamma Phi, Beta’s “Southern Starlight.” While down south she might visit Alpha Xi Delta’s “Beach Party,” and Delta Gamma’s “Mariner’s Delight.” Across ihe Seas In a short time she would travel to Beta Sigma Omicron’s “South American Party,” Chi Omega’s “Greek Party,” Delta Zeta’s “In dian Pow Wow,” Zeta Tau Al pha’s “Gypsy Party,” and Kappa Kappa Gamma’s “Chinese Party.” She would meet various types of people at Phi Sigma Sigma’s “Cover Girl Party,” Theta Phi Al pha’s. “Club Tepa,” and Kappa Alpha Theta’s “Kat Karnival.” Going into the land of fantasy, she would visit Alpha Chi Ome ga’s “Doll House,” Alpha Kappa Alpha’s “Book Title Party,” Alpha Epsilon Phi’s “Children’s Party,” Sigma Delta Tau’s “Circus,” and Phi Mu’s “Kiddie Party.” The Evening Ends The busy evening would be cli maxed at Sigma Sigma Sigma’s “Sigma Nightcap,” and Phi Beta Phi’s “Pi Phi Heaven.” After two nights of parties, the rushees and sorority women will take a break Wednesday, when no rushing activities are sched uled.

Engineers Return From Summer Faculty Program Two faculty members have re- turned from a two-months assign ment in Seattle where' they par ticipated in Boeing Airplane Com pany’s summer faculty program. Robert K. Vierck of the En gineering Mechanics department was assigned to the structural dy namics unit where he studied the effect of wing flexibility upon landing-gear loads involving the same plane. Donald E. Hardenberg, also of the Engineering Mechanics de partment, was associated with the stress unit where he made an in vestigation of the fatigue data on materials used in such jet aircraft as the Boeing 707 Stratoliner. The two were among 54 faculty members from 32 engineering schools who participated in the summer program. Shorts-Cfad Coeds Enjoy Approximately 35 coeds,' the majority Bermuda shorts-clad for all events, attended discussions, plenary sessions, and social-events at this year’s Student Encamp ment. In a somewhat camp-like Mont- Alto atmosphere (in comparison with dormitory facilities on cam pus), half the women delegates struggled clumsily in making up per bunks' each morning before scrambling down from unfamiliar heights. The other half of the coeds slept in lower bunks, of course. It wasn’t until the last morn ing of encampment that most of the women realized that some unseen person or persons had been' assigned the job of bed-mak ing. The discovery came after, By NANCY WARD Religion Church Groups Plan Weekend Programs Worship services and group programs have been scheduled by six student church groups for today and tomorrow.

Coeds Model New Fashions Present and prospective soror ity women are rushing in the highest fashion this season as re productions of Vogue, Mademoi selle, and numerous other wom en’s magazines’ sketches have been incorporated into fall ward robes. Suits and tailored afternoon dresses have been the dominant mode during the past week of suite-visits, and pastels and new charcoal have been the favorite shades. Coeds have quite effec tively adopted designers’ tricks of varying and dressing up basic models with pet scarves and eye catching costume jewelry. Many rushees and “sisters” as well have reverted to the sewing machine for rushing-wardrobes. The favorite pattern has been the new princess-styled jumper, in tweed or faille, and worn with or without a blouse. The Flapper Era has been re vised by women this season in the form of long, long beads, wrapped choker-style around the neck, or twisted loosely and left falling easily. Pearl-sized beads in sinks and late-sleeping delegates left beds unmade and returned at lunch time to find things in perfect or der. . A few sports-minded coeds tim idly joined the dinner line in Bermuda shorts the first evening. As the realization dawned that informal attire was to be in order throughout encampment, the bared-knee numbers rose. By the second morning of workshops, even faculty members (male) joined the ranks. Several women students at tended encampment in the capa city of secretaries and in order not to miss after-meal bridge kibit zing on the lawn, set up office on the green. (Traces of grass stain may be seen on reports that workshop chairmen are leafing through at All-University Cabi net meetings these Thursday T rieste— (Continued from page four) 1953, Marshal Tito has showed a much more cooperative attitude with regard to Trieste, as well as considerable diplomatic skill in' his general European diplomacy. In past months, Yugoslav representatives have conferred secretly with Anglo-American experts in London concerning Trieste. Together they drew up a plan of settlement whereby most of Zone A, with the excep tion of a few villages, was to go to Italy, the rest of the Free Territory to Yugoslavia. The westerrr-Big Three powers, especially the U.S., are, according to this plan, to build a new har bor for the Yugoslavs at nearoy Capodistria (Kopar), which would be Yugoslavia’s compensation for giving up her claims to the port and the harbor facilities of Tja este. Meanwhile, Tito has apparently persuaded the Turks to agree to a military annex to the Balkan pact between Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. If he can also persuade Greece to agree to this step, then two of Italy’s NATO allies will be militarily allied to Yugoslavia. This should put additional pres sure on Italy to agree to tthe solu tion of the Trieste question being proposed at the present time, pro vided of course that extreme na tionalistic elements in Italy do not force the Italian government to abandon NATO altogether. If Italy can be persuaded to accept this plan or a similar one, then Trieste's difficulties will still be far from being solved. Economically and geographical ly. Trieste remains to a large extent, dependent on her Yugo slav and Austrian hinterland. If Yugoslavia is given adequate port facilities at Capodistria, won't this be a heavy blow to Trieste's trade? What assurance is there that adequate tariff ar rangements can be made with Austria which will attract Aus , irian trade to an Italian Trieste? Such questions trouble many Triestinos. Hence there is now a strong sentiment among many of them that it would be to their best interest to keep the Free Territory with its allied occupa tion, which provides Trieste with, both business and security. Co-aus Newly elected officers of Delta Nu Alpha, transportation honor ary fraternity, are Cyril Demyan, president; Mark West, secretary; Donald Ziegler, treasurer; and Milton Foster, alumni officer. blues, huge uncut amethyst strung on gold chains, and multi-colored glass stones are prominent in af ternoon and evening wear.

Un fortunately, Turtle, who never was named otherwise, wandered away while his foster parent was taking a quick before-dinner swim. In truly professional talent show style, coeds who never sang before and some who probably won’t do so again, sang, and coeds who never danced before—and have since regretted trying— danced.
