March 1 in Boston was the Pan-Hellenic Congress which met there as well. Miss Grace Richards, adviser to women, visited the morning session of the Congress Feb. 29 to find them discussing such interests as sorority standards, particularly with regard to scholarship requirements, the fea- sibility of pledges being assisted by tutors rather than. upperefass wo- men, and the recommendation that any pledge who failed to become eli- gible by the end, of the third quarter, in a quarter system, should be auto- matically dropped and not eligible to repledging.f Although the discussion was of in- terest, no particular conclusions were arrived at. "A more pertinent contribution to Pan-Hellenic was made at the joint session of National Pan-Hellenic with the deans on Thursday afternoon when Miss Helen Rush, assistant to the dean of wo- men, University of Pittsburg, spoke on "Sororities in the Building of University Spirit," Miss Richards stated. At Pittsburgh they realized that they must create university spirit and one effort was made in fostering a closer relationship with the sorori- lies. A committee was formed of three faculty women, the dean of women, and the assistant to the dean who meet once a month with the presidents of the sororities. In the question or rushing all so- rorities have agreed that no rushing be done until the end of the first se- mester and they have simplified rush- ing rules to one: "Girls shall con- duct themselves as if there were no sororities on the campus." They also have an interesting development in the matter of penalties for breaking that rule. They do not impose restrictions; they define tasks. For example, one sorority which overstepped bounds was required to present a paper on the improvement of spirit in Pan- Hellenic. This paper was read at Pan-Hellenic meeting and led to such discussion that a series of papers fol- lowed. Important among the social affairs according to Miss Richards, was the annual Columbia Teacheirs' College,; dinner Wednesday, Feb. 29. Places were laid for 1500. "Although the af- fair has now grown beyond all bounds, it has always been a great inspirational treat," Miss Richards remarked. "Americans Hide Themselves But Are Sympathetic," Says Colonel Lindsey' "In no country is sincerity so quick to be appreciated as in the United States," said Col. Fred Lindsey, who is at the Majestic theater this week, il- lustrating the various methods of u'sing the Australian stock whip as he has learned to use it through years of experience on his father's stock ranch in Australia. "You Americans have a strange philosophy," he continued. "You all have a 'line' that helps in hiding your real individuality. You hide your- selves in copying each other. You dress alike; you talk of the same thing's that every one does. And you all do the same things. You seem to be afraid to let anyone get under the surface at the real 'you.' Yet under it all you have, it seems to me, a keen quick. sympathy and admiration for sincerity that is equalled in no other country." The Olthe, athletic figure of the colonel leaned forward as he con- tinued. "This is an age when chiv- alry should flourish," he said. "There nrn cn. v . iv _ -, 'Ari c f i The world isn't at all as it used to be, don't you know?" Australia, says Colonel Lindsey is a peaceful country, as large as the United States, but with approximately 5,000,000; people in it. Both the coun- try itself and the climate are much like California. "The people are generous and hospitable," he said with a smile, "and are 'inclined rather to pity the rest of the world for lacking the privilege of living in that portion of the British empire called Australia. Practically the whole of the country is in ranch lands-'momba ranches' we call them,-and the average ranch covers territory 60 miles wide by 100 miles long. There's a romance about the land and a picturesqueness that I try to portray in the using of Aus- tralia's national weapon, the stock whip." During the great war, Col. Lindsey was colonel of a Scotch regiment; and has seen service as well, in the South African and Zulu wars. His appear- ance on the stage, said Col. Lindsey, was due to a wager with friends in E~sr A lhri affn i- rsr TENNIS CHAMPION TO DESIGN SILKS! What will Helen Wills' ultimate' bid for fame be?
