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. :..

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 riding impossible donkeys of un- (Continued on Page 14) New Library To Be Opened For Women A new library will be opened in the Michigan League for the use of women students this year, it was an- nounced by Jean Seeley, president of the League, recently.

Methodist Leads From the census of approximately 8,060 students, 6,262 signified that they were either members of some denomination or have a preference for it.

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.
