TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1960 r 6t Christmas Rushing Discussed at Workshop The question of whether or not to have formal'sorority rushing during the first week of Christmas vacation in 1961 resulted in a controversial discussion at the second annual Panhellenic workshop Sunday. According to Marcia Hamm, chairman of the Rush workshop, three possibilities for holding rush under the 4-term plan were discussed. The proposed times were before or Grigsby Sorority By BARB YUNK Sororities are in a posi tion today to answer criti cisms which have been leveled at them, Mrs. Ernes tine Grigsby, chairman of the National . Panhellenic Council, said yesterday. Speaking at the second an nual Panhellenic Workshop, she named the three areas of criticism as scholarship, goals and activities. Sororities, she said, have been, accused of being inter ested only in grades not in scholarship. Actually, she said, the atmosphere which soror ilies maintain shows their in clination toward the highest in tellectual development. Soror ities are striving toward more than a trophy. Trophies, she continued, are merely an out ward symbol of a drive toward excellence. Another criticism, she said, is that sororities are not con cerned with goals beyond col lege. This, she said, cannot hold true today. Women are Warm Weather Detains Winter Spring eame early? Unseasonably warm weather accompanied by light winds and hazy skies has settled over the entire eastern half of the United States. Temperature readings were in the 60’s and 70’s from the Gulf Coast to the Canadian border yesterday afternoon and similar readings are in prospect for today. The fair weather-producing high pressure system which is re sponsible for the beautiful weath er is nearly stationary and, con sequently, little change is indicat ed for the next few days. The local forecast indicates a continuation of the partly cloudy and warm weather for today and tomorrow. The mercury should climb to the upper 60’s this afternoon, per haps reaching the 70 degree mark. A high of 68 is predicted for to morrow. Tonight should be partly cloudy and mild. A minimum of 44 is ex pected. Local Ad Staff NO MEETING THIS WEEK Get down to see your accounts regularly and work for that lineage.

Justifies Program more often successfully com bining a career with marriage and so they must consider their entire future rather than mere ly marking time until mar riage. The third criticism, she said, is in the area of activities. Sor orities must evaluate their ac tivity programs in terms of in dividual and group activities. Being merely a "joiner" or a "chair polisher" doesn't help the girl or the activity, she said. Activities must be select ed with an eye toward future goals. The goal of activities, she explained, must be to develop constructive leadership. Chapter activities must be determined in a manner con sistent with academic stan dards, she said. Activities must be re-evaluated in terms of dollars and cents and the ef fort and time involved. In conclusion, she suggested that every sorority remember that, “Your public relations are your inside relations turned outside. The minute you put on a pin, you are rep resentative of the group and it must reap criticism or praise according to yeur actions.” DARE to Study Greek Systems In an effort to erase discrimi nation in the Gfeek system, DARE, Direct Action for Racial Equality, proposed Sunday to in vestigate similar situations at oth er colleges and the manner of handling the problem at these schools. A letter will be sent by DARE to all colleges and universities where a group similar to DARE exists. The letter will contain questions concerning any action taken against discrimination in the fraternities and sororities and the results of the movement at these schools. Another letter will be sent to the New York State Commission' Against Discrimination. The com mission had previously issued a proclamation against discrimina- 1 tion in off-campus housing in the state schools in New York. In 1895, downtown room and board cost between $2 and $4 per week.

The major part of the discus sion, however, involved the pros and cons of the third possibility with tentative rushing dates set for Dec. 12-19. ; Miss Hamm listed the argu ments for and against this time in a summary for the entire work shop. The workshop, she said, felt there would be too much extra expense for the sorority in ad dition to the regular rushing costs, since both sorority mem bers and rushees would have to pay extra fees to housing for the week. Also, a rush at (his time would interfere with .Christmas jobs which many women would nor ■mally hold. In addition, at the | end of the rush period there would be -a definite transporta tion problem because most avail able drivers would already have left campus. She said also at this time a sorority would not have a grade-point average from rush ees. At the present, a sorority uses a grade-point average as one of the requirements which a girl must have in order to rush. i ' Many delegates, according to | Miss Hamm, felt the rush periods [would be too early in the school [term to give the rushees enough [time to make an objective deci ision about sororities due to the [fact that they are still unfamiliar [with campus life. Also, many ob jected to this time because of the shortness of the actual rush pe riod. she said. In opposition to these argu > menls the workshop also found reasons why Christmas vaca tion would be the most feastbie time for rushing. Miss Hamm said. The workshop felt that infor mation concerning expenses in the dormitories and available transportation must be found out | before an objective evaluation. It definitely is a problem that must (Continued on page twelve) COMMUNISM ... Protective Tariffs Disappear—Randall Protective tariff programs are disappearing from United States foreign policy, according to Clarence B. Randall, retired chairman of the Board of Inland Steel Co. Randall directed his remarks last night to a group of businessmen and government representatives assembled for a conference on U.S. foreign oco-| “ r ,c po “ cy " ,he * ww L "Siudenls lo • Ask In his talk, Randall said "the whole free world is moving to- ward economic integration and no country, political party, corpora tion or individual can stand •against it.” "Every free man is entitled to 1 buy the best and the cheapest wherever he can," he said. • "When we have a protective ; tariff," he explained," the con > turner is forgotten." I In discussing private invest jment in foreign countries, Randall isaid that the most satisfactory | system is a system whereby American capital associates itself with capital of the foreign coun try. Randall said, “economic as sistance programs of this country have been widely misunderstood by our own people.” “They are usually confused with the ques tion of security," he added. Even if security were not in volved, Randall said, the Unit ed States would still have eco nomic assistance programs. He i explained that the U.S. needs natural resources which can be i found in deposits in the new countries of the world. “The .great markets of the fu ture arc likewise to be found in these new countries,” Randall said. The conference, which will con tinue through tomorrow noon, is sponsored by the Alumni Associa tion, the Center for Continuing Liberal Education, the College of Business Administration and Con tinuing Education Services. It is one of the Alumni College series. Four Freshmen Elected To Ml Student Council Four freshmen were elected to the Mineral Industries Student Council Monday.
