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.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. 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.” ]

Roudiez Analyzes
Rousseau's Work
Dr. Leon S. 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

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
