Editorial Opinion
No Rushed Rushing
An unexpectedly lov.• percentage of women students
will participate in the spring formal sorority rush since
only 450 registered for the program that begins Saturday.
With the enrollment of 1300 freshman women. about
500 more than other years. sorority women were looking
forward to a crowded and "rushed" rushing program.
The number of rushees has always been around 400,
or one-half of the freshmen, during the formal period.
However, this time the percentage is only one-third. Mrs.
R. Mae Shultz, assistant to the dean of women, attributed
the low percentage to academic difficulties.
It is unfortunate that the reason is academic diffi
culties. But, on the other hand, sororities and Mrs:Shultz
can be relieved that the potential chaos and consequent
impersonality should not exist.
The situation this spring should even be slightly eased
with the addition of a new local group, Pyrose, and the
3-member quota extension for each sorority approved by
Panhellenic Council in the fall.
It seems that rushing will not be the problem it could
have been, and, with the cooperation ,)f the sororities and
the IBM machines, will be carried oat smoothly and ef
ficiently,
'That's Wonderful'
"That's wonderful," said the Prezident
"What a relief," said the Republican congressmen up
for reelection this •ear.
'We still can't trust the Russians at the disarmament
tables," State Secretary John Foster Dulles undoubtedly
said.
"We're still five years behind the Russians," the sci-
enlists said
And the United States had its first baby moon.
Maybe it wasn't as big as Russia's two Sputniks. It
bad no dog in U. It was late. Ii can't overcome the loss of
prestige at Little Rock. But it's a baby moon and it's up in
the heavens, and most Important, it bears the stamp,
"Made in the U.S.A. (by German scientists)"
Now :+•e think that the United States' having a satel.
lite of its own is nice. We're proud—and, admittedly,
somewhat surprised—that we have one up in the heavens.
But we don't think satellites can be compared to
mothers. We don't even think they can stand up against
a disarmament agreement.
But. as Mr. Dulles says. them Russians Just don't keep
/her promises. Someone should tell Mr. Dulles that his
state department has not always kept Us promises on dis-
armament.
So the Army will try again. The Navy will try again
Maybe the Air Force will even enter the picture.
America and Russia have proved they can build baby
moons. We'd like to see them prove they can build world
peace

Other Opinion
Liberty Asked
By This Man
This is about Alphonse J. Dulle,
assistant foreman in the press
room at the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch. I was once a copy boy
with occasional duties in a similar
pressroom and I am not surprised
that Mr. Dulle is a pressroom boss.
They are men of a certain breed,
entirely capable of instructing a
big-eyed copy boy to tell that lily
fingered managing editor so-and
so to come down and run these
so-and-so presses himself if he
don't like it.
I have had Alphonse J. Dulle on
my mind for several weeks now,
because a lot of hopes ride with
Mr. Dune. He is engaged in a
struggle over his frontyard mail
box; and in some ways the out
come will be just as vital to Amer
ica and its traditional way of life
as the•outcome of .Secretary Mc-
Elroy's struggle to reorganize the
Pentagon.
The clipping about Mr. Dulle
has been lying in front of me for
a long time, but other things were
always interfering—the State of
the Union speech, rockets, Khru
shchev, and Secretary Dulles, who
spells his name almost the same
as Mr. Dulle but is probably no
relation. The clipping reads as
follows: "St. Louis, January 3.
Alphonse J. Dulle's neighbors filed
suit today for two thousand dol
lars damages because his mailbox
is white with black lettering. They
want the court to force him to
paint it black with white letter
ing like all others in the twenty
two house development."
Well. the other day. Khrushchev,
Secretary Dulles, and the other
distractions seemed quiescent and
I couldn't stand it any longer,
anyway, so I put in a call to St.
Louis. Pressrooms are noisy
places, so I called the house and
got Mrs. Dulle. There was a cagy
note of suspicion in her voice, and
I wasn't surprised. After all, any
one who has been ambushed by
her own neighbors is not going
to give her trust to total strangers,
just like that.
• Clearly, the Dulles are an em
battled family and I gathered they
were not enjoying their lonely if
lofty isolation. But, as Mrs. Dulle
told me Mr. Dulle keeps saying to
her, there just comes a time
when if a man can't call his home
his own, he can't call his soul his
own and he's just got to fight it
out. ' '
A man can't very well stand
guard with a shotgun any more;
but he can hire a lawyer, the
modern equivalent, so Mr. Dulle
has done that. Twice, said Mrs.
Dulle, her husband has moved
the mailbox, but the trustees of
the development--these are own
ed, not rented properties—still
weren't satisfied. They not only
want the color changed; they
want the box on a black metal
rack, like the others, instead of
on what they call an unfinished
wooden post. Actually, it's a creo
soted post, Mrs. Dulle explained.
The court hasn't acted yet; so
we don't yet know whether, in the
eyes of American justice, a group
of Americans have, singly or col
lectively, been damaged material
ly, socially, or spiritually because
one among them has dared to be
different. But we can report that
the Dulles are not entirely for
saken in their lonely eminence.
They have been getting letters
from around the country and,
said Mrs. Dulle, "every one of
them's on our side."
'Without Fanfare'
An editorial in Monday's
paper may have given the- im
pression that nothing was done
for the 500 new students who en
tered the University this semes
ter. An expanded orientation pro
gram, including student coun
selors and meetings with the
deans of 'the colleges. was con
ducted for them. However, they
do, as the editorial stated, come
in "without (the) fanfare" of the
fall arrivals.—The Editors
