68 Women
Drop Out
Of Rushing
Sixty-eight women who reg
istered for Formal Spring
Rush have dropped out of
rushing as of yesterday, Mrs.
Nancy M. Vanderpool, assis
tant to the dean of women, an
nounced.
There are 658 tushees contin
uing, she said.
The reasons most frequently
given for discontinuing rushing
this year have been the amount
of time involved in participating
and finances, Mrs. Vanderpool
sad .
Mrs. Vanderpool said 16
women dropped during and aft
er open houses and 52 dropped
after the first round of chat
ter dates. In spite of the in
creased number of women
rushing this year, the number of
drop-outs has not significantly
increased when compared with
last year, she added.
The locaton of the Panhellenic
Post Office in the Hetzel Union
Building this year appears to
have made it easier for rushees
to get their invitations sooner,
Mrs. Vanderpool said. She said
that in past years the post office
did not have such a central loca
tion and rushees had difficulty
returning invitations early enough
to inform sororities of the num
ber attending their chatter dates.
The second round of chatter
dates will be held afternoons and
evenings today and tomorrow.
Applications for Panhellenic
Council offices will, also be
available at noon tomorrow at
the HUB desk and the Panhel
lenic office, 129 Grange, Mrs.
Vanderpool said. Cynthia Xan
thopoulos, chairman of the Pan
hellenic Elections Committee,
said the offices available are
treasurer, recording secretary
and corresponding secretary.
Each sorority may nominate
one member for each office, and
no sorority may hold the same
office two years in succession,
Miss Xanthopoulos added.
Nominees for the office of trea
surer must be juniors, those for
rec9rding secretary must be soph
omores and those for correspond
ing secretary may be either soph
omores or juniors, she said. An
nominees must hold a 2.5 All-Uni
versity average, she said.
Applications mast be turned
in to the HUB desk or the Pan
hellenic office by March 3. Appli
cants will be notified of the time
of their interviews.

McKinley
Economic
President John F. Kennedy will be faced with the unique
problem of severe unemployment coupled with a booming
prosperity if the predictions of David H. McKinley, assistant
dean of the College of Business Administration, prove
accurate.
McKinley, speaking before the Young Republicans Club
Tuesday night, said that we
reached the low point of the pres
ent economic decline last week.
McKinley further predicted that
the nation's economy would be
good in the second quarter of this
year and even better in the third
quarter. And by 1962, McKinley
said, a big upswing will be in
progress.
The current upswing will be
led by government spending both
in the defense and public con
struction areas, McKinley said.
McKinley explained the con
firming unemployment as being
the result of increased auto
mation. He said that this prob
lem will grow throughout most
of the fiCrs.
Using his hometown of Union
town (which is in a depressed
area) as an example, McKinley

said that the only way to solve
the problem is to pull the young
people out. He said that Union
town will not get back on its
feet economically until 30,000
leave that area. Nothing can be
done for the older and unedu
cated people in the nation, he
continued.
McKinley said that private
and small businesses are feel
ing the pinch of the present
slump but the larger industries
have not deareated their capi
tal expenditures (expenditures
for new machinery and build
ings) as is usual in a recession.
Looking at the immediate fu
ture, McKinley said that there
will be more inflation during the
Kennedy administration than
there were in the Eisenhower
years.

AWS Judicial
Affects Many
Perhaps more women students are aware of the .Associa
tion of Women Students judicial system than any other branch
of women's government.
Records show that a high percentage of Penn State
Women come in contact with Judicial during their college
I careers.
The reasons for judicial action
range from sign-in, sign -out vio
lations to serious cases of mis
conduct, according to Patricia
Dyer, chairman of AWS Central
Judicial Board.
Judicial was the first branch
of AWS to be affected by the
group's re-organization for resi
dence community living. -
In March 1960, the Women's
Student Government Associa
tion, with the assistance of Dean
of Women Dorothy J. Lipp, re
vised the long-standing list of
rules and regulations for wom
en students.
The same month the new code
of ethics for Penn State women
was initiated.
"However, the rules were not
perfect in their original form,"
Miss Dyer said.
"In essence they represented
a tremendous improvement
over anything seen before at
the University, but they were
difficult to "follow. They left
more to the responsibility and
good judgement of the wom
en; they were harder in this
respect,' she continued.
"But, these rules had to he test
ed and evaluated. To see them in
practice was the best way for
us to do this," he said.
The primary functions of Ju
dicial are to. review and evalu
ate standing rules and to hear
cases on violations and then as

sign penalties, according to the
AWS constitution.
"The board set out last spring
to evaluate the rule and this pro
cess Las continued this year," Miss
Dyer said.
"The evaluation required
much careful consideration. We
had to be careful to give the
women every opportunity and
freedom they could handle and
at the same time avoid any
that could endanger their wel
fare." she said.
The black-mark system had
been abolished and weekend cam
puses were eliminated.
The board began the tedious
task of considering each case be
fore them individually and pre
scribing individual penalties, ac
cordingly.
"For example two girls could
have the same number of late
minutes, but for entirely differ
ent reasons," Miss. Dyer said.
"The case load for the board
suddenly became overwhelm
ing." she said.
"This was an indication that
the women were taking advan
tage of their new freedom and
abusing it," Miss Dyer said.
"But, the system was new and
needed time before it could prove
itself," she concluded.
Mrs. Marian Davison, assistant
to the Dean of Women, agreed
that the new rules needed time
to 'prove themselves.
