By DOTTIE STONE strict silence rule listed in the Pan sndent women before rushing begi; In further action a report was made -by Mrs. Jean H. Dußois, assistant to the dean of women in charge of Panhellenic affairs, on the mistake concerning the rib boning of two women to the wrong sorority. Formerly sorority women were not : allowed to talk-to indepen dent women unless representatives of three different sororities were in the conversation group. The ruling was changed because relatively small number of women who will go through in formal . rushing and the large number of independents effected by the former ruling. ‘ • ■ “We want .to be natural with girls on campus,” Mrs. Vada M. Leffler, Panhellenic advisor, said after the meeting, “and not create a barrier. We just will not talk about sorority business (with in dependents.)”. Independent women who wish to go through informal rushing are ashed to register with Mrs. Dußois at the Dean of Women’s Office, 105 Old Main. Registra tion is not required for informal rushing and there is no registra tion fee. Sororities will receive lists of the women who have reg istered for rushipg. Women wishing to rush should also remember that sororities who have their quota at present will be able to rush at the start of the spring semester, Mrs. Dußois said. Mrs. Dußois said she brought before the council the matter of the Panhel error in the lists of ribbonees in order to clarify the matter for all sororities. As soon as the mistake was discovered, she said, the two women were notified and asked to choose which sorority they wished to join. “We should be thankful that we have a dean of women who approves of sororities and shows such kindness and sincerity to the girls and chapters concerned,” Mrs. Leffler said. Mrs. Dußois gave the following official figures on rushing: 454 registered, 142 withdrew for var ious reasons, 311 received bids, and 286 accepted bids. These fi gures are being turned over to a statistician to see if it would be advantageous to , have sororities increase their quota of 50 mem bers. A report will be made to. the council after the statistician’s re port . has been returned.
