PAGE FOUR IBM Decreases Time For Rushing Workers Work which once required 20 hours of manual labor in the Panhellenic post office is now completed in 20 minutes by the IBM machine which is being used this year for the first time in sorority rushing. “There's just no comparison between the machine and our old way of handling invita tions during rushing,” Mrs. R. Mae Shultz, assistant to the dean of women, said. State Hires 2 Ed Profs As Advisers ! Tv.'<> <-ducation professors were included in a list of educational consultants hired for short-term duty at high pay by the State Department of Public Instruction.; They are Dr. Charles M. Long, head of the Department, of Educa-I tion, and Dr. Franklin Miller,' chairman of the committee on public school administration. i Pay is SSO-a-Day j The list, taken from the Audi-; tor General’s payroll vouchers,; named the two University profes-' sors as $5O-a-day consultants to ! tthe department last year. j The two were included in a pool of 50 educators, many from out of state, revealed by legislators pre- ( liminary to possible investigation; of such hiring practices at the] stale Capitol. j Nothing Illegal Involved ] The Associated Press reported yesterday that there was “no in-; dication” the consultants were en-; gaged in anything illegal or un-'; ethical—the disclosure was simply] a part of the Legislature’s budget; investigations in Harrisburg. 1 The 50 educators were hired at rates ranging from S3O to SlOO a! day, the Auditor General’s vouch ers showed. Most rates were S5O a day. McKinley Gets Advisory Post David H.

STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Formerly, all sorting of invi tations, acceptances and regrets was done by sorority alumnae liv ing in town. The women began early in the morning and fre quently worked 12 hours at a time, Mrs. Shultz said. At the be ginning of the rushing period each rushee and each sorority was given a large envelope. Before each event the workers had to sort invitations for all women and acceptances for every soror ity. Machine Located in Old Main Now the only job of the post office worker is to take invita tions as they are brought in by the sororities and feed them into the machine. The machine, which is housed in the basement of Old Main, then alphabetizes and sorts the cards for each rushee. After the rushees have returned; the invitations marked either “accept” or “decline,” the ma chine reverses the process and sorts the cards for each sorority. Seven thousand cards can be pro cessed in this way in 20 minutes, i One Mistake in 35,000 Cards have been handled thus far for three rushing functions— ;two rounds of chatter dates and fast night’s parties. Of the 35,000 | cards sorted, only one has been [mis-handled. The big test for the machine will come on Thursday afternoon when final lists of ribbonees for sororities will be made. “We’ve never used the machine ! before, so we aren’t too sure how it can jlo on matching preferential lists,” Mrs. Shultz said. Preferential Lists to be Filled Before the final list can be com piled, both sororities and rushees must fill out a preferential list. Rushees will give their first and ; their second choices. Sororities [will list in order of preference the women they would like to pledge. According to Mrs. Shultz, the machine can definitely perform the preliminary steps to matching! the lists. How much more it can do is still unknown. What the ma chine can’t do will be finished by the staff of the dean of wom en's office. Time and Energy Saved “At any rate, we’re certainly saving time and energy,” Mrs. Shultz said. "We’re also avoiding mistakes which are humanly im possible to catch. And we know [that an error on our part isn’t [making a rushee unhappy.” ] jWDFM to Present jMook Interview .1 A taped interview with Dr. .'Maurice Mook. professor of an thropology, will be presented at 8 ’ tonight on the program “Face to Face" over WDFM.

Roudiez, associate professor of Romance j languages, said Sunday night that Rousseau, while an im- Iportant figure in our heritage of freedom, must not be ex amined too closely in reference to the American system of government. In a speech in the Hillel auditorium, he analyzed Rousseau’s “The Social Contract” in the second program in a series, “The Structure of Freedom.” Dr. Roudiez said that Rous seau’s concept of the “general will” can have no practical mean ing in a two-party system or even a multi-party system of govern ment. Men Must Choose For to have the “general will,” men, men, must make their choices free of all influences and pressure groups. Parties are, of course, pressure groups, so Dr. Roudiez explained, and they could not be condoned in Rousseau’s “pure” democracy or society. i Dr. Roudiez said that Rousseau is often misinterpreted. Many seems to think that he had an idealistic faith in the goodness of !man, and in the morality of man. | Two Misinterpretations But Dr. Roudiez held that this THIS IS A cSr (Life-Size) ' '• ...' -I".--' •. ’ ' / FOR PARTY OR GROUP ORDERS: Please Order 1-Day Ahead SPUDNUT SHOP, 111 Pugh Si.. State College AD 8-8184 TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1957 is in error, for Rousseau believed [that man was neither good nor bad, moral nor immoral. Dr. Rou diez described it as a sort of i “amorality.” Another common misinterpreta tion, Dr. Roudiez said, is that Rousseau would have rejected so ciety. But he points out that Rous seau would not reject society as a whole, only at a given time, that is, if it had not set itself up ac cording to the “general will. Not a Revolutionary Dr. Roudiez emphasized that [Rousseau did 7.0* intend his phil osophy to be restricted to demo cracy, for it applies to all forma of government. For it is more a treatise on society than on poli tics or government, meant only as an introduction to his “Of Po (Continuei on page twelve)
