Stanley Chorus
Plans Program
For This Year
Concerts ranging from the typi-
cally classical to the more modern
programs are given each year by the
Stanley Chorus Undergraduate Wom-
en's Glee Club, in both local as well
as out-of-town apearances.
One of the highlights of the sea-
son is reached when the Glee Club
presents its traditional Christmas
song festival. This affair is invita-
tional, and is presented in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre. The program
usually includes well-known Christ-
mas compositions.
The Stanley Chorus was incor-
porated into the League last year. It
will continue as a League unit, work-
ing undear the merit system. Activity
The entire list of sorority rushing
rules for this fall have been an-
nounced by Jane Arnold, '36, presi-
dent of the Panhellenic Association.
"It is important that these rules be
strictly adhered to by both the soror-
ity and the freshman women," Miss
Arnold stated.
The rules were adopted last spring
after they had been accepted by the
majority of sorority women. They
are as follows:
1. Invitations to initial teas will
be delivered to the mailboxes of girls
who have been recommended to sor-
orities starting at 9 a.m. Friday, Sept.
27.
2. Go to all the Saturday and
Sunday teas to which you are asked.
Stay not longer than three-quarters
of an hour at each house.
3. With its invitation to tea a sor-
ority may enclose a card asking you
to a party at the beginning of the
following week; you may be given a
choice of more than one party.
4. You must accept or refuse any
enclosed invitation either while you
are at tea at that house, or by tele-
phone before 11 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29.
The telephone number of a sorority
will be written on any small card
it may enclose for you. Remember
that it is up to you to call. Give
your message to the rushing chair-
man or to her assistant, for they
will be waiting for your reply.
If you cannot reach a sorority be-
fore 11 p.m. Sunday, it is better to
let them know early the next day than
not at all.
5. Initial teas last from 3 p.m.
until 7 p.m. The following week
each sorority gives one party a day
-- dinner - on- Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Saturday they may have two parties,
breakfast, luncheon, or dinner, and
on Sunday there is to be absolutely
no rushing in any form. On Monday1
and Tuesday of the second week they
may have dinner.
6. Dinners shall last from 6:15 p.m.
to 8:30 p.m.; breakfasts from 9 a.m.
to 11 a.m., the luncheon from 12 p.m.
to 2 p.m.
7. Never go to more than one
sorority during the course of any of
these parties except the initial teas
on Saturday and Sunday. Remember
to watch the time, for you are break-
ing Panhellenic rules if you stay
longer than the times specified above.
8. Further invitations will be ex-
tended during parties, or by telephone
or on Panhellenic forms.
Phone a sorority member when-
ever you are not sure about an en-
gagement. They are allowed to call
you only three times during the rush-
ing period, but you may call them
as often as you find necessary.
9. On Wednesday and Thursday
of the second week, sororities give
formal dinners which last from 6:15
p.m. until 10 p.m. They are allowed
to call for you before these parties
and take you home afterward.
10. Accept the invitations of those
groups in which you are most inter-
ested for the two formal dinners.
Your acceptance of the last -party
does not indicate your choice of a
group, however, nor do their invi-
tations to formals necessarily indi-
cate that they have decided to invite
you to membership. Rushing ends
with the last party on Thursday, Oc-
tober 10 at 10 p.m.
11. A period of absolute silence
between sororities and rushees com-
mences at this time, and extends until
9 a.m. Monday, October 14.
12. Each rushee who has been in-
vited to join a sorority will receive
a preference list on Friday evening,
October 11, which she should fill out
and return to the office of the Dean
of Women before 12 Saturday, Oct.
12.

Attractiveness In'
Room Decorations
Shows Personality
With hundreds of dormitory rooms
all alike, the freshman is faced with
the problem of displaying her per-
sonality in furnishing her own par-
ticular abode for the year. The essen-
tial pieces are all the same, the fin-
ishing touches of drapes, bed spreads,
wall decorations and numerous nick-
nacks make the difference between
just a place to sleep and room of in-
dividuality and charm.
A delightful room uses red and
white as the keynote. Curtains of a
heavy grade of very highly glazed
chintz combine the two colors. On
one side of the window is a white cur-
tain bordered in red and on the. other
one in red bordered in the white. A
red, white and black plaid rug covers
the floor and red and white pillows
are in abundance . on the white
candlewick bedspreads accented with
red designs.
Another interesting combination
uses light, green, cream and gold,
cream net curtains and green drapes
at the windows, and a green spread
of sateen bordered with stripes of
gold cloth. As accessories to the
room, flower pots painted gold con-
flains a variety of cactus plants
is added. Another touch is the book-
ends. They are charming ducks
with bright yellow beaks in cream
porcelain standing on a green base
bordered with gold.
An unusual element seen in a room
was the Egyptian fiezes of hand-
woven linen decorating the walls.
The crude figures in wierd positions

Grimness Of Rushinr Season
Relieved By Funny Incidents
Rushing at best is a pretty grim
business, but even it has its amusing
aspects. The humor is at the expense
of the rushee, however, for the more
hilarious his faux-pas, the more
black-balls he receives.
A State Street fraternity is still
chuckling over the remark an ogling
eyed frosh made upon entering. His
eyes following the vertical line of the
chintz drapes to the vaulted ceiling,
polished during the rushing season.
Pie tossing and salt and pepper fights
are deferred until the rushees wear
the fraternity emblem. Hence, the
men in a neighboring State Street
fraternity were eating their steaks
with their forks and knives-that is,
until one of the rushees (who didn't
believe in affectation) proceeded to
use his hands.
The women come in for their share
of the unexpected as well as the men.
