‘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

Party Invitations
. Party invitations will be ready
for distribution at 11 a.m. Monday
at the Panhel post office. Rushees
will check accept or regret on the
slips they receive,. leaving the
date lines blank. Invitations are
to be returned to the post office
by 1 p.m. Each rushee may accept
three party invitations.
. Rushees will return to the post
office at 5 p.m. Monday to pick
up their party times. 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.
Howevfer, rushees will pick up
invitations for coffee hours, the
last rushing event, on Wednes
day. They may accept two invi
tations and will answer them for
mally, returning replies to the
post office by 12:30 p.m.
Coffee hours are scheduled for
6:30 to 8 p.m. and from 8:30 to
10 p.m. Thursday.

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,

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

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.
