SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 17. 1961' ' STUDENTS AND ADMINISTRATORS discuss on-campus problems in one of the six workshops of the 1961-62 Student Encampment which ended yesterday.

Workshops made recommendations on all aspects of student interests and made plans for the coming year in student government. Parthel Plans for Winter Rush. Establishing themselves as coeds is the first important step for the female portion of the class of ’65. The next step concerns sororities. Every Penn State coed has to decide whether or not she would like to join a sorority and, if so, which one. But first, of course, she has to find out something about Greek life. The Panhellenic Council, which coordinates sorority activities, is all set to answer questions, give details and greet potential sisters. At 1:30 p.m., Sept. 24, Panhel will hold an informal program in the Hetzel Union lounge. Slides of sorority projects will be shown and representatives from the 26 sororities and two colonies will be there to talk to the new coeds. Fireside chats will be held Oct. 1 and 8. Rush registration will be held Oct. 23 and 24 and all freshmen will be eligible to register.
