Cloudy Skies,
Cooler Weather
Expected Today
Milder air from the southwest
spread into Pennsylvania yester
day bringing pleasant Spring-like
weather to all sections of the
state.
j Temperature readings climbed
linto the middle and upper 40’s
jduring the afternoon and light
winds along with nearly cloudless
;skies made the day one of the
winter’s finest. A maximum of
47 degrees was recorded at the
University Weather Station.
Somewhat cooler air from East
ern Canada will probably seep
into the Keystone state today, but
no sharp temperature changes are
expected. i
However, the weather outlook
for the weekend is becoming com
plicated by an upper air disturb
ance in Texas. This system may
initiate the development of a sur
face storm system in the Gulf of
Mexico in the next day or two.
Such a storm would then move
northeastward bringing snow or
rain to this area.
Today should be mostly cloudy
and somewhat cooler with after
noon temperatures close to the. 40
degree mark.
Partly cloudy skies and rather
cold weather is predicted for to
night and a minimum of 27 is
expected. ;
Tomorrow will be partly cloudy
and mild with a high temperature'
of 42 degrees.

The quota limitation system
adopted Tuesday night by
Panhellenic Council was fur
ther explained yesterday by
Panhellenic Rush Chairman
Marcia Hamm who said the
new system is more a change
in terminology than a drastic
change in the rush program.
The quota limitation plan will!
equalize the size of sorority chap

[time as well as adapt the rush

This system combines a

tage normally pledged as well as
chapter limitation, she said.
The figure will be obtained by
dividing the number of rusheei
expected to pledge by the num
ber of sororities on campus, Miss
Hamm added.
The actual quota will be lower
than this figure in order to al
low smaller groups to pledge
enough girls to build the chapter
number towards limitation, she
!said. In this way, if large soror
ities fulfill their quota a sufficient
number of rushees will remain to
allow open bidding for those
which do not.
Chapter limitation designates
the total number of pledges and
j initiated members in each sor
j ority during a specified period.
! The proper limitations will
| probably be determined by di*
I viding the number of sororities
on campus. Miss Hamm said.
She said it will, be possible for
a chapter to exceed the set limi
tation if, for example, it is full
ilo limitation at the time of for
mal rush. The chapter is still al
lowed to take the full pledge
quota and in this way may ex

'number, she explained.
