Members Will Be Escorts
Sorority members may call for
the rushees in their rooms, and
escort them to the suite, where
the ribboning will take place.
While rushees-. have been hur
rying from suite to suite, through
registration, open houses, coke
dates, at homes, parties, coffee
hours and tonight’s ribboning,
their main source of contact with
the sororities has been through
the Panhel post office. -
The post office, located in Ath
erton Hall, is fun by sorority al
umnae, under the direction of
Mrs. Chester Dahle and Mrs.
George Leffler, Panhel advisers.
All invitations,, acceptances, and
regrets must go through the post
office, as during the rushing per
iod a strict silence is observed
between the rushees and sorority
members.
(First contact with the post of
fice came when 454 girls regis
tered and paid the required rush
ing fee. After proceeding through
the open houses, they reported to
the post office to receive their
invitations for coke dates. The re
plies. to. these invitations Were
then turned in to the post office
for the sorority rush chairmen.
After the coke dates, the same
procedure was followed through
the open houses, the parties, and
the coffee hours.
The final phase of activity for
the post office staff will come
this afternoon with the receiving
and comparison of the preferen
tial cards and lists.

We believe they have enough
brains so that 15 years from now,
they won’t look back on their
college days and say that then
they were at their highest peak
of success.
If only people could see stu
dent politics in its true light,
realizing that it is just a game
being played by students, per

same kind of laugh we give to
a class-C Western movie.

Astronomers Study
Heavenly Oddities
Located on campus east of the Temporary Union Building are
two tiny aluminum-domed buildings which don’t resemble the usual
campus building at all.
These buildings are two observatories used by students taking
astronomy 90, a three-credit nonmathematical astronomy course for
nonscience majors
The North observatory contains
as six-inch refracting lens, and in
the South observatory is a ten
inch reflecting telescope. The
South observatory telescope was
built at the University and is
clock-driven to . keep a celestial
object in view as the Earth ro
tates.
This semester two planets, Jup
iter and Saturn, will be visible,
and the observatories will be open
ten nights to the'public. The dates
will be announced later.
Astronomy 90 has had two hours
of one night a week set aside for
laboratory work. If the night is
clear, the astronomers go to the
observatories where they operate
the telescopes and identify many
celestrial bodies.
The course does not require that
the student see all the mythical
figures which the stars are sup
posed to form. In fact, this is im
possible,- since many of the figures
are very large while being made
up of only a few stars. Sometimes
these stars don’t even appear on
the actual outline of the figure.
These mythical images were
imagined by shepherds and sailors
•from about 500 B.C. to 500 A.D.,
who used to stare at the sky all
night long. A few of the constel
lations, however, have been named
in modern times since there are
a microcope, a telescope, and
a grandfather’s clock in the heav
ens also.
.Astronomy disvorced itself from
astrology during the Middle Ages
when a few men of the day real
ized that astronomy is an exact
science, while astrology is an un
reality based on fortune-telling
by the stars. .

Looking Glass
with Gabbi
Every college has a legend
passed on from year to year
—yes, and every store has a
reputation passed on from ear
to ear. And ETHEL’S got the
reason to go with her rep.
Eavesdrop a bit with me and
let’s see what she’s got cool
and clever for you . . .
Pressing room prob
lems . . . poof!
There are scads of dizzisms
that can drive a person mad
so why lqt closet clostropho
bia be a chief bum? ETHEL
can solve this dilemma with
skirt and slack hangars that
save hair-pulling (and clothes
pulling) and adds a gala touch
because they’re irridescent
mother-of-pearl—it’s not real,
natch, so not expensive, catch?
Cleanliness is next fo
cleverness.
Stretch and yawn and chase
thatpesty sandman real quick
like in time for those 8 o’-
clocks with a “loofah” wake
up-your-skin, bath sponge
oval, palm-shaped and terry
cloth covered—it floats! And
so much handier than a wash
cloth. The damage . . . just
one dollar.
For those who didn't
schedule Art 55.
We all like to make our dorm
and fraternity rooms a little
more “dennish” (even if we
can’t afford the bear rug) . . .
so why not begin your inter
ior decorating with a. •'bool
conversation piece like a
waste basket featuring Barn
urn and Bailey circus posters
straight from the band wa
gons or for the more sophis
ticated (we have some of those
■in our dorms, too), real pages
from the London Times. These
paper catchers can be had for
just $3.00 and on up.
Stop making an asSi
of yourseif
. . . and give yourself some
place to put those “good for
the rug” ashes besides in your
roommate’s beer mug. In
ETHEL’S you’ll find ashtrays
with modern motifs to ash
trays with bean-bag bottoms.
They’re low priced, attrac
tive and certainly make for
a great gift. We can go on.
for columns, but the printer
thinks the bottom of the page
should be the end . . . but we
don’t think it should be the
end of your visit to ETHEL’S.
So amble down real soon and
browse to your heart’s con
tent—and tell her Gabbi sent
